What's for Dinner?

But I'm p.o'd because I just paid $1.79 for 1 avocado today. It's one of my favorite things, so I'll pay the price. I had a veggie lunch so guac is going to be dinner tonight.

I usually wait until they're on sale, a lot of times I get them 2 for $1, either at the supermarket or the Sprouts natural food store. I love homemade guacamole, we usually make nachos with it.
 

Chicken breasts bone in baked in the oven with a honey, garlic sauce .....
Steamed mini potatoes in butter..
Coleslaw..
Pot of decaf coffee..

Breakfast; omelette for my Princess and bran flakes for me.....
Lunch... As usual, nothing....
 

It's like hunting for the holy grail to find someone who makes sausages as they used to be, beef and fat with sage and thyme and not too much salt. I've no problem with the right amount of salt in things but everything is getting overloaded with it now.
Sausages were called 'mystery bags' in my youth but the stuff they cram into them lately is the real mystery.
Most of them are just indigestion bombs that burn your tastebuds off before you can realize what you're eating.
 
Di: Katy that's cheap for Avocados, they grow them around here yet still charge $2.50 each in the supermarket. They can hardly be charging for extra transport costs.

It's the supermarket prices I'm complaining of and I have no one to blame but myself. I stopped at the Farmer's Market yesterday and they were only $.79 each and much better tasting than what I bought earlier in the week. My bad, for being willing to pay that much with Farmer's Markets all over town. It's convenience only that allows them to get away w/their ridiculous prices, especially when, in your case, they're grown there.
 
Tonight I made some comfort food for supper.. Meatloaf...
I made a meatloaf using minced turkey..
Added diced mushrooms, onions, garlic, tomatoes, herbs and spices, grated mozzarella and one egg...
In a loaf pan at 375 till brown on top and the edges pull away...
It was simply delicious !!!!

Fresh beets from the garden was the veggie....

Breakfast; omelette
Lunch; Don't ask !!!!
 
I was totally bewildered yesterday as what to make for supper.. I had some veal sausages defrosted (that I thought I would BBQ) but I decided to try and create a concotion of some sort..
I skinned the sausages from their skin.. Wedged 2 red onions.. Sliced 3 large mushrooms.. Finely chopped 3 garlic cloves.. Finely diced a carrot..
Cooked them all in a fry pan with some red wine, stock, herbs and spices.. Added some chopped raisins just for fun..

Served the concotion over cooked linguini..
Well, don't ask what a GREAT meal that turned out to be..

Breakfast;.. A bagel sliced with the hole made bigger and an egg fried in the hole.. This is called a "Steve Special"
Lunch;.. Nothing !!!
 
I made a salad of small spinach leaves, shredded red cabbage, onions, tomatoes, garlic cloves,and celery, topped with shredded cheese and chopped boiled egg.

BTW Steve... what did you have for lunch?
 
We NEVER eat lunch as we get up and out of bed around 11:00 am or often later.. Even after noon many days..
I make a big breakfast which we finish around 1:00pm or so and till we finish our mug of coffee it is afternoon..
I make supper around 6:30 to 7:00pm and there isn't any necessity for lunch..

We do have a fruit, yogurt, piece of cheese, or diet pop but that isn't a meal to call lunch....

That is why I say...........
Lunch.... Nothing !!!!

We are Night Owls and NOT Early Birds..
 
Tonight for supper I made a (one very large) chicken breast pounded thin, breaded and fried in EVOO till golden..

I also made my broccoli salad that should last for several days..
Broccoli, onion, carrot, cheese all in a mayo sauce.....
If anyone wants the recipe, just ask.....

Breakfast; Omelette with a toasted bagel with cream cheese..
Lunch.. I won't mention it...... But.... an apple

I'd like your recipe, Steve. We make something similar without the cheese, but with garlic and cauliflower, and then toss it all with ranch dressing. Sometimes diced bacon on top. Yummy. Maybe you could put it in the recipe thread, so we don't lose it. :)

Ahh; you had lunch...we usually have an early lunch instead of breakfast, since we're not hungry for awhile. However....breakfast is good anytime.

Today I'm planning on a breakfast meal for dinner. Sausage patties, fried eggs, grits and toast.

I like your way of thinking ... breakfast for dinner! .. Have done that often over the years, the sausage, eggs, hash browns, etc., in the evening.. It worked out well when my husband would come home late from work and didn't want to go with a heavy meal.
 
Here's a quickie meal for those times when you only have a minute or so.

Break and egg into your favourite coffee mug,.. sprinkle in some salt & pepper,...whisk with a fork for 10 seconds,.. place in microwave oven and cook for 30 to 50 seconds on high.
The egg mixture in the mug will puff up and rise to fill the mug. Remove from microwave and break it up with the fork for a few seconds and enjoy.
 
I've been doing scrambled eggs in the nuke like that for years too Tezz. In a flat bottom bowl though, with a bit of milk. Mum loved it like that, not my preferred way of scrambled eggs but she liked it kind of 'fluffy'. Did it in 30 second bursts, stirring between to keep it cooked evenly.

I don't hold with some things only being eaten at certain times of day. I eat what I want when I want. Often have bacon and eggs for dinner, or last night's 'rons' of a baked dinner for brunch. Never get up early enough these days for it to qualify as breakfast.

When I was working, the night shift crew would bring in bits and pieces, chops, veges, dessert and we'd cook up a 'dinner' at 2am. That was in the good old days before OH&S got to be OCD and the meal room still doubled as a 'pop up' kitchen.

Some of the most memorable 'dinners' were 3am pie floaters fetched up to Central from Harry's Cafe de Wheels by a hungry train controller with a car, a sense of adventure, and the kindness to ask if anyone else would like him to pick some up for them. That didn't happen anywhere near often enough! Yumm.
