Thought I would start a new thread for the coming year..
New Year's in our house is just another day.. Nothing special food wise..

Supper tonight (New Year's Eve) will be homemade chicken burgers on the BBQ..

Some sort of a steamed veggie to go with it.. Probably green and yellow beans with sour cream..

Breakfast New Year's Day: 3 egg omelette with 2 slices of Turkey Bacon for my Princess
3 scrambled eggs for me..

Lunch: As usual, a BIG hug and kiss from my dearest wife, my Princess......

HERE'S WISHING EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR
 

New Year's Day and I have to again figure out what to make for supper..
I know I had burgers last night, but these will be more like a minced steak..

I have some minced Moose that I will thaw and make some Moose Burgers on the BBQ..
Caramelized onions with sliced mushrooms to go on top of the burgers..

A turnip casserole would go well with the burgers..
I also have some coleslaw which will go well..

White chocolate pudding for dessert.. I will scrape some dark chocolate on top for appearance..

Voila !!!! A perfect meal for the New Year..
 
For supper tonight (Saturday) I made a stew in the slow cooker..
I have NO idea what kind of meat it was, but it turned out very good.. Put some stock, worcester sauce, onions, carrots, parsnips, mushrooms and green peas..

I made a small amount of pasta to go with it as a base..
 
Again today it looks like a casserole night.. Snowing, cold, and windy.. Temperature will drop to -27c by suppertime with brisk winds.. NO BBQ tonight..

I have a casserole that I make with B/S chicken cubed to which I add a ton of veggies..
That could go over quite well tonight and it is easy eating..

I LOVE those one dish meals.. Easy to make and easy to clean up after..

A dessert could be in order which might be some white chocolate pudding with some dark chocolate scraped on top..
 
The other day besides a ho hum meatloaf I made parsnip and ginger soup. I went to the store for a small piece of ginger, ended up spending 25.00 on other stuff. Why do I do that??? The soup was delicious, though.

Last night was Chinese delivery.
For me, wonton soup and shrimp with black bean sauce.
For grandson, combo platter #24; spareribs, pork fried rice and eggroll.

The Chinese places in our delivery range all have the same menu. They are all getting pretty boring. I would rather Thai but grandson won't eat any of it.
 
Ho hum meatloaf, Rose? I bet it was good. I haven't made meat loaf in a while. We went to Costco and I got a rotisserie chicken. Dinner was chicken sandwiches on wheat bread and cottage cheese with pineapple.. thats one lazy dinner, but it was just right. I'm thinking chicken tacos tomorrow :)
 
Supper tonight (Monday) will most likely be Salmon patties that I will make..
Served with sour cream as a dip, sauce..

Steamed green and yellow beans..
Coleslaw..
Sliced tomato with EVOO and fresh basil..


Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with 2 slices of Turkey bacon for my Princess..
3 scrambled eggs with a bit of cheese for me..
Pot of Folgers
 
My wife makes tofu and vegetable curry once a month. Very good and super nutritional. I once had it in Hong Kong and I thought my tongue had vaporized. Big difference between how it is made here in America and in the Far East.

At home my hubby makes us curries all the time. But the veggies and herbs available in Thailand are much different. Completely different flavours. Very healthy. My husband always asks for very spicy and I get medium.

My wife buys the ingredients at an "Exotic" foods store in Harrisburg. The taste is different than the domesticate items that are raised here in the U.S. I remember being in Singapore on one of my visits and ordering just a plain hamburger and french fries for lunch. I did this just to compare the difference to what I was used to. I asked for ketchup and the server did not know what I meant. He gave me curry and chili sauce in a bowel served with a spoon. I never thought to smell or taste it before putting it on my french fries. As soon as I put the first french fry into my mouth, I knew instantly that it wasn't ketchup. Immediately, the sweat beads appeared.
 
We almost NEVER eat foods the second day.. I try to cook just enough for the two of us to finish everything..
HOWEVER .....................................
I still have half a casserole leftover from Sunday.. The one with chicken breasts and veggies..

For tonight (Tuesday) I will be reheating the balance of the casserole but I will add some extra cheese first, just to make it taste fresh.....................

Communication can be difficult when ordering food in another country!

I love the food here in Thailand but some restaurants put whole cloves of garlic in their dishes. I love garlic but not that much!
 
Is there a such thing as too much garlic? I've never experienced it... oh wait... I take that back.. one times I put some whole bulbs in the oven drizzled with olive oil and baked until tender... I ate WAAAAAAAAY too much... the tummy didn't handle it that well.
 
I go to a Pennsylvania Dutch restaurant occasionally and eat my favorite Dutch dish, Schnitz and Knepp. Check it out. You may like it.

You are kind, Karen. I'm with you on those rotisserie chickens; sometimes they'r cheaper than making our own! I usually buy one a week. My grandson and I pick on it, and doggie gets her share. Sometimes she gets most of it, of course without skin and bone.

Now I'm thinking of cottage cheese with pineapple...mmmmm.

yess! My doggie is always delighted when a cooked chicken arrives. Rose, I love cottage cheese with fruit or sliced tomato sprinkled with a bit of garlic salt and pepper.
 
Reheated foods are definitely NOT my speciality ......ECH !!!!! Lousy supper last night.. ............ I reheated the Chicken casserole from Sunday....... NO GOOD !!!

Temperature turned mild and NO wind, so a BBQ will be in order for supper tonight (Wednesday).......
I have some pre marinated B/S chicken breasts, or some Veal rib steaks to BBQ..

For the main veggie, a Turnip casserole should go well with a BBQ..
Coleslaw as well..
I have some HUGE mushrooms that will see the BBQ as well..

For dessert, some thawed frozen fruit with sour cream ........

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with 2 slices of Turkey bacon for my Princess..
3 scrambled eggs for me..
Pot of Folgers.....
 
Lunch: chicken wrap made with lemongrass and Thai herbs and seeds and shredded veggies
Dinner: fried rice with pineapple and ham
