What Are We Eating For 2014 ..

Well, I'm remembering why I don't make chili as often as I used to. Maybe I'll have a bowl tomorrow, maybe not, I am so bloated and I didn't even finish it all. Well it taste good going down. :D O O O O my belly aches.
 

Get out the Beano April, or for a more natural alternative, activated charcoal caps before the meal. :eek:nthego:

LOL! I have some charcoal caps somewhere around here, it's a matter of figuring out which cabinet and which room I last sat them in. :turnaround::laugh:

I just made a pot of chili to die for. yum, can't wait for the brown rice to get finished cooking so I can chow down. Brown rice takes forever, I'm going to get that 10-minute kind in the future when I've finished this bag. Hasn't been an issue in the past, I usually get the rice started first, but for some reason I got the chili going first for this meal. Regular rice cooks in about 20 minutes brown takes 45. :tapfoot::drool1::wiggle: Well, anyminute or or 10 more, I forgot to set timer. LOL

This a new one to me. I've never put rice in chili. We almost always put in some pinto beans, although I have made chili mac a few times.

I do use brown rice and lately I've been getting Uncle Ben's quick cooking kind.

The chili goes over the rice after it's cooked. I usually put kidney beans in my chili I thought I would try something different this time and used cannellini beans this time, but if I'm ever inclined to cook chili again in the very distant future, I'm going back to using kidney b; even though this way taste pretty good, there's something so wrong about seeing those white beans, instead, floating about in the chili. LOL

Now I have a huge pot of chili and though my mouth is looking forward to more, my belly is saying you can't be serious about doing that to me again. I'm searching out the charcoal pills, in my mind, as I type. My tongue wants more chili.

I think they call that Spanish rice, and you can add beans or whatever.

Yes, there's beans and rice, pigeon peas and rice is another good dish too, but the chili dish is something completely different, all very tasty dishes though.

:thumbsup1:Yep a hearty beef stew would be even better, but that requires a few steps more than I'm feeling up to this week. LOL, maybe sometime next month when I'm up to chopping potatoes and turning and tossing turning and browning the beef. BTW, I put that over rice as well, sometimes serve it up with cornbread. :D
 
For supper tonight (Friday) I took out a package of minced chicken with the intentions of making burgers on the BBQ..
PLEASE DON'T ASK WHAT HAPPENED !!!
I ended up using the mince to make a meatloaf instead.. Actually, I had a senior moment when I came to prepare the mince and forgot about the burgers....

Actually we enjoyed the loaf very much as it is comfort food and it is a bit nippy outside anyway.. -18c with a very brisk wind..

A fresh green salad was the veggie..
 
The "Lamb" thread got me craving my Lamb Curry.. so went to Costco and picked up a lamb roast.. I will be making curry this weekend.. YUM... over Batsmati Rice and some garlic Naan to dip in it..

Indian cuisine is a great way to play with spices.. My curry has ginger, garlic, bay leaves, cinnamon, cardimon, corriander, garum masala, safron, turmeric.. very flavorful!!

Mmmmm...curry...my partner likes it too hot though...I can't taste anything!!
 
Yum, I like curry dishes, using lamb or chicken as well, Indian or Jamaican style. I haven't had either in quite a while because mine never comes out tasting as good as the others I've had. Best for me to have it at the restaurant these days.
 
Tonight I had a 'poor man's dinner'...mashed potato with bacon and leek..and sliced roast ham...delicious...


Tomorrow I'll be making a big pot Bacon, lentil , carrot, broccoli and and potato soup..:)
 
Stir fry in the wok was our supper tonight (Tuesday)..
B/S chicken breast cut up into cubes and marinated in chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic and a few drops of tabasco..
Broccoli, mushrooms, red pepper, and onion was the veggie..
Chicken broth was the liquid..
Very tasty and not sweet like the honey-garlic sauce I often use......

Breakfast:: 3 egg omelette with herbs and 2 slices of turkey bacon for Princess..
3 egg scrambled with a turkey sausage for me......
 
I hope everyone is having a feast today. I made 2 sweet potato pies yesterday. Today my wife is cooking roast chicken, mashed potatoes, dressing and gravy. A can of whole berry cranberry sauce will be on the table too.
 
That reminds me, I need to refrigerate the can of cranberry sauce I picked up at the store to go along with whatever leftovers I; have on hand for tomorrow's left overs I manage to come home with later today. :D I've already indulged in the sweet potato pie as of last night since it wasn't meant to serve anyone but me anyway. Wish I could say I made it; I picked it up at Publix supermarket and it isn't in no way as good as homemade.

Wishing you all a great day.
 
Today, my husband is barbequing a couple of nice steaks for us. With those we'll also have sautéed (caramelized) onions with baby Portobello mushrooms, and a mix of cauliflower and broccoli. Dessert is cherry pie with French vanilla ice cream, which we already sampled last night.
 
I know it is bitterly cold out, but I still decided to BBQ for supper tonight (Friday)...
Chicken drumsticks dry marinated..
Steamed and mashed carrots with peas I added was a veggie..
Coleslaw..
Carrot salad..

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with chives for my Princess and 2 slices of turkey bacon...
A bowl of porridge for me..
 
For tonight I will be making a meatloaf using minced chicken and a box of stuffing mix.. It comes out very moist and tasty that way.....
A green salad..
Coleslaw..

Breakfast:; As usual. a 3 egg omelette for my Princess with some herbs and 2 slices of turkey bacon.....
 
Last night I had Ham hock with leek, and sliced sauteed potatoes cooked in cream and white wine followed by a sliced fresh pear and fresh dates..


I'm just about to have a bowl of porridge for breakfast..
