What's for dinner ( or lunch )

[Shero]

For dinner we are having tandoori chicken ( already ordered at our lovely Indian restaurant).
Pilau rice and naan bread and for dessert a selection of Indian sweets Yum!!

Squash.

The farmer who works the field next door to our house grew a lot of squash this year. He is done picking and told us to take what we want. This is just some of what we picked, it should last months in the garage. And make many a dinner.

I made a batch of eggplant parmesan a few days ago and instead of meat in the sauce, I added chickpeas, mushrooms.
The layer between the eggplants is ricotta cheese with couple of eggs and parmesan cheese. Topped the second layer of eggplant with sauce and mozzarella. I've been eating it every day at dinner. Can't get enough of it. Love it!

I enjoy eggplant parm also...never seem to make it very often tho.

Do you fry the eggplant first?
I have in the past.

I had a turkey burger and green salad. I have 1 little container of store bought rice pudding I'll finish.

Yes, for this recipe I actually sautéed the slices of eggplant in olive oil. In other recipes, you can put the slices in the oven
for 20 minutes (uses less oil) but not as tasty.

I haven't had a turkey burger in a while. May try it soon.

Wow! That's a lot of squash. But you're right. It will last. One year a friend of ours gave us butternut squash plantings and we grew them and had about 40 squash. We stored several in the basement and gave some to neighbors. I was making squash bread so often, I knew the recipe by heart. It tasted like zucchini bread. Only thing was the outer shell would be hard and had to use a good sharp knife. Enjoy!

Made Buttered mash, ( loads left over to freeze) and had beans on the side with Bavarian Ham

 

[RadishRose]

Thinking about tossing a burger in the frying pan.
May also throw some frozen Brussels sprouts in the toaster oven.

Pray tell, what is buttered mash? Mashed potatoes?

Dinner will be paninis and salad with my daughter's family. She and I assemble the fixings, set up two panini presses and we all make our own sandwiches.

 

[RadishRose]

Had baby limas instead of Brussels sprouts.
Also made a small salad of lettuce, tomatoes and onion.

 

[Ruthanne]

Avocado sandwich on whole grain toast with miracle whip and sweet onion.

Fiddlesticks. I was jonesing for pizza tonight, but DD wants to pick up DGD from work and go out for pizza. My idea was pick it up and bring it home. It's cold and dreary, and I don't wanna go out. I asked her to just bring me a slice or two of pepperoni pizza.

@Ruthanne Avocado sandwich. Yum. I had a piece of avocado toast for lunch today. Not the same as a sandwich with Miracle Whip and onion, but still good.

@hollydolly Ok. Mashed potatoes. So bangers and mash is sausage and mashed potatoes? Then there are those things y'all call chips that we call French fries. And y'all call potato chips crisps. If I hadn't had the company of a Brit when I was in England, I'd have starved to death! Except for trifle. I understood trifle and ate plenty of it at every opportunity

what actually is Bologna?.. I've heard about it on US comedy shows talked about in a derogatory manner, but what really is it ?

In the U.S. Bologna is made from pork, turkey, or chicken, all of which provide a very mild flavoured meat. The American version of Bologna is much different in taste and appearance than Italian Bologna. In the U.S., Bologna is usually sold sliced as a popular luncheon meat or as a cooked and smoked ring sausage.

It's inexpensive lunch meat. Kind of like hot dog meat, only round.

Some people fry it, and make fried bologna sandwiches.

I made dinner tonight. We had ribeye steak, veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots), and the worst garlic bread I have ever tasted (from Aldi). The ribeyes at Aldi are good, at least good enough for me. I have to start eating more veg. Before I got sick, I made sure to eat 9 servings of veg a day, mostly to fill up without gaining weight, and because it made me feel virtuous. Also because I actually started loving them.

That meal took about 10 minutes to cook. Veg were frozen.

I buy Oscar Meyer beef bologna for fried bologna sandwiches. Thinking about it it is sort of like the flattened insides of a hotdog.

Yes! Exactly.

You're not missing a thing, Holly. It's pronounced "baloney" and is often spelled that way.
