Post Up What You Had For Dinner

[Lolleedee]

1 x KFC Original Drumstick and 1 x Small Coleslaw.

bit sad, that one.

What? No biscuit???!!!  Going to KFC without getting a biscuit is like trying to breathe under water...it can't be done!!!  lol  For the record, next to opiates, my second vice is KFC biscuits!!! 

Just recently the Taco Bell places (hey, chipper,do you guys have Taco Bell there?) by me started serving breakfast.  I fell in love with the egg and cheese taco biscuit!  It is basically scrambled eggs with melted cheese in a taco-shaped biscuit.   The biscuit part is awesome and when I took my first bite ever my first thought was "hey, this taco biscuit tastes EXACTLY like a KFC biscuit!" and my second thought was "I'm gonna' be spending a lot of money on drive-thru Taco Bell breakfast!"

I actually mentioned the similarities to the lady at the drive-thru and she informed me that Taco Bell and KFC are the same company and that the taco biscuit IS the same as the KFC biscuit, just in a different shape!  Whodda' thunk?

there used to be a taco place associated with our local KFC but NO fast food taco joints here

[Opi-ette]

Anyone tried those Brookside berry and dark chocolate clusters? OMGGGG so good. Stupid expensive but totally worth it.

Would there be a demand for real Mexican style street food?

Don't some fast food restaurants have 2-in-1 buildings?  Like how KFC and Taco Bell are owned by the same company, so they'd have a building with both in it?  I'm pretty sure I've seen a few of those in the past, although I don't remember exactly with brands they were.  I think one might have been a Long John Silvers and something else.  Don't remember. 

I had Welsh Rarebit for the first time today for lunch.  It was the frozen Stouffer's kind.  It's basically just cheese sauce that you put on toast.  I put it on toasted English muffins.  It was pretty good.  I've seen it several times in the freezer case, but never bought it until recently. 

It's also abnormal for me to eat lunch, as I'm not normally up during the day.  I tend to have a 3rd shift schedule most days, unless I have somewhere I have to go.  But I've been up since 10:30PM last night, and haven't been to bed yet. 

Not sure what I'm gonna have for dinner.  I need to go to the store to restock.  I have a choice between some Near East boxed couscous (wild mushroom--I make it with beef stock instead of water, and add some thyme and rosemary).  Or some chicken noodle soup.  Not entirely what I want, but there ya go. 

I guess I could make something else, like rice or something.  I do have some saffron I'd like to use.  I could make a rice pilaf, with some chicken stock, saffron, sauteed onions, and some peas. 

There was a 50% off sale on Spice Island's spices recently at the store, so I bought 3 things of saffron and some other spices.  I bought the saffron b/c it's normally 14 or so for 1 gram, and it was on sale for only 7.  I thought that was a great deal for saffron.

Nark,
              That's an amazing price for saffron! I would love to make my own saffron rice but it just isn't justifiable for me to spend more on the spice than I do the meat in the meal lol. So I buy mahatma yellow and that's as close as we get, but we love it! Especially with swiss steak, yummy. Hmm maybe that will be dinner tomorrow. Tonight we had cheddar brats and curly fries. Yuck and easy. Everyone ate though.

I have two venison roasts in the freezer. I'm going to make spiedies with one, any suggestions for the other? It needs to marinate because it wasn't bled out well enough and it's a bit gamey but I need another marinade recipe.

Nacho cheese doritos which I never ever eat
Cookie dough

I'm usually full from just one sandwich, that's a lot of food for me haha

[neighbor]

cooked some turkey burgers on the grill and did up some fries in the fryer. checkers seasoned fries, which are so good it hurts sometimes.

but as for the actual  important dinner, a few joints and more god damn fucking lope.

I really have no right to hate the shit cause its the only thing keeping me stable but god damnit I wish I wasnt taking it anymore. and the idea of a taper, while tempting, is just not tempting enough at the present time.

[ArSoN]

Went and got a 8 piece fried chicken which was really good this time, perfect crispiness
Cooler Ranch Doritos
V8 Berry Medley juice with is really tasty

Leftover dunkin donuts from the morning

Don't get me wrong, I'm not the type to buy saffron normally, or the type to cook with it a lot.  I can't afford that shit.  I bought the three jars simply b/c they were half-off.  It was a little splurge of mine. 

I'm a foodie who loves to cook, yet doesn't cook nearly enough.  I'm more a "put frozen stuff in the oven b/c it's easier" type of person nowadays.  I've still yet to use that saffron.  I never did make that rice.  I want to use it sometime soon though. 

Apparently saffron was a very popular spice in the Middle Ages.  Europeans had saffron growing farms.  I can see that being a major industry b/c of all the manual labor required.  Saffron is only the 3 stigmas of the saffron crocus.  Among other uses, Ancient Romans used saffron to perfume rooms.  There are lots of other historical uses.  I like learning about ingredients and most things food related. 

I'm sorry, but I don't have any suggestions for venison.  I know it's popular with some, and it's supposed to be a lean meat, but I've never had it.  I'm not big into game.  Maybe try finding recipes for beef or veal and use those for the venison?  Those seem like they'd be somewhat comparable. 

............................

I had crab cakes, boxed scalloped potatoes, and peas for dinner last night.  Actually it was supposed to be for dinner, but I made it for lunch today.  I didn't eat dinner last night, and I've still not gone to bed yet.  I've been up since 5PM yesterday.  I'm not sure what I'm gonna have tonight.  Possibly chicken strips and fries.

Had Mom, Step-dad, and nieces
Over for eggplant parmesan
Then my step dad let off
Some fireworks
Not the kind you would buy
For kids
But like REAL ones

Hero too a pic
Of the eggplant
He's not feeling so hot
And slept thru
The loud assuming fireworks

So
This was our dinner

[BamaPainGurl]

Surprised myself tonight, only meant to throw together a quick sauce with meatballs in the crock pot so I would have time, hands and stove free to prep for tomorrow. Ended up with the best meatballs I've ever made or had! Put it over a bag of mixed pasta noodles; rigatoni, rotini and shells. Made a half loaf of garlic french bread and voilà easy and delicious! I froze the other half of the batch for another easy dinner in the future.

Was also able to prep/cook about half of tomorrow's fixins. The pain is immense, but it would have been double had I attempted all of it tomorrow. If anyone's interested my menu is a mixed bag of northern and southern thanksgiving staples:

Turkey breast stuffed (bread crumb stuffing, a yankee MUST have)
Coca-Cola and brown sugar ham, butt not shank
Chicken and dressing (a southern MUST have)
mashed taters and turkey drippings gravy
my yankee grammas creamed corn
Harvard beets
Cranberry sauce
Deviled eggs (with dill relish mixed in) no paprika
A veggie tray with hidden valley ranch
pickle/pepper tray
Sister Schubert yeast rolls
That's to feed 4, mom is eating the meal with my sis and dessert here.

And for dessert, mom bringing pumpkin and apple pie.
I will bake a pecan pie along with a homemade chocolate pudding with meringue,
served warm.

Way too much food! But we are thankful beyond words!
Cheers and best wishes to all and their families this Thanksgiving!
Hope it's exactly what you want it to be, whatever that may be! Peace ~ Lissa

dont recall what I had for dinner because benzos and because I was busy feeding my cousins fucking baby. he had spaghetti bolognese that I made. he said it was good. I say 'fucking baby' only because his parents were making no effort to do so. I hold no ill-will towards said baby.

nevermind, I remember. I had cold spaghetti bolognese but with a metric shit ton of real parmigiano cheese

It wasn't until a year or so ago that I was able to start eating lukewarm meals again. Totally relate to making two plates and watching one grow icy whilst trying to speed feed the tot without choking them because you're famished too! And when the tot just wants to giggle and grin between bites! Those sessions seemed to last forever for a cup of food and as soon as I got to mine, gone in sixty seconds cold or not!
