Had mum over for a roast Chicken and Vegies on Tuesday night for her birthday. Had plenty of chicken left so used it in a Pasta dish last night for dinner.

Tonight (Thursday) im thinking ill raid the freezer for some left overs of some description. Sitting at my desk at work and I already know, or have decided that I cant be bothered cooking tonight.

The weathers going to be another stay indoors weekend. Rain , Hail and strong winds. Oh Goody !!!! Its a good thing I LOVE to cook

Tonight, it's shrimp stir fry. I'm making it with sweet red and orange peppers, spring onions, green beans, and water chestnuts. It will be colorful if nothing else! Making the stir fry sauce myself too (kind of a lemony one). Having it with steamed rice (with a little butter, minced onion and parsley) and a baby spinache tossed salad. I already cut up the veggies.

The shrimp are from frozen but pre-cooked. We just get them in bags at Walmart and boil water then remove the water from the heat and put the shrimp in to hot water for a few minutes and then remove the tail. They are so tender and good! We like the medium size ones over the small and jumbo. It's amazing how good they are and go in all sorts of dishes with nearly no effort.

Anyone else like me, where you cannot ask me "what are you doing today?" Without me including details about the food I hope to eat?

Not sure what will be on the menu tonight. Tomorrow ill head off to the Market and buy the ingredients to make the paste I use in so many curries , stir frys etc.

So many ingredients in it and it takes a while to cook. But once its done I put it into little containers and into the freezer.

Last night I had little Egg and bacon Pies that I got from a place around the corner from work. They were not too bad at all. ill definitely be getting more for the freezer as they make a perfect resolution when you would really like a "night off" from Cooking .

Im a day earlier than most of you but have a lovely weekend

Right now, I've got some spaghetti sauce in the crock pot. That over linguini with some salad and bread will be dinner tonight... maybe also some chocolate chip cookies. I may not be able to resist lol

We went down to the bridge and BBQd steak with my in-laws. We provided the meat, they provided the fixins
 
it will be leftovers here tonight. The spaghetti sauce over linguini, tossed salad, and bread.

For tomorrow, instead of freezing the sauce that's left over though, I think I'm going to make it into lasagna. That might have Harvey doing a happy dance!
 
Hi everyone! I haven't been able to post or anything because our internet was out. They had to move our antenna. I think maybe the tree branches grew enough the last few years and got in the way to interfere.

Haven't made anything new and exciting lately. We've had good old pizza and spaghetti (though last night I added Italian chicken sausage to it) and chicken white chili, etc. Have made cookies twice. The oatmeal raisins got a little too brown, but they got eaten up. The other day I made chocolate cookies with mint chips in them. mmmmmmmm! The cookies turned out kind of like fudge brownies, so double mmmm! We went to a 4-H open driving show today. Forgot to put anything out, so I don't know what to make. H is going to body clip a horse, maybe two (wants me to do one-blech!). Personally I've had enough for the day. Our club's show is weekend after next, so he wants to get at least the one done while they are clean. That way the clipper blades will last longer.
 
I dug potatoes this morning and made potatoe salad, horses are feed, and hubby is outside grilling chicken right now. I'm not a big fan of grilled chicken but I'll eat it. Love hamburgers on the grill. Found out this morning squirrels are the bad guys eating our tomatoes.
 
I'm going to use the spaghetti sauce to make lasagna today. With salads and maybe some bread. Yum yum yum!!!
 
Oh, I dearly love potato salad! H won't eat it cuz he doesn't like mayo and he tried german potato salad but didn't like it either. Oh, well.

We both clipped the horses last night. I did the heads and along the manes and tail heads. He did the rest. Tuxedo went the fastest. He always seems to have the lightest coat and thinnest skin. He is the one who has a real arab look. Deeper dish, wider between the eyes, big dark eyes, longer neck, etc.

I made pizza and salads for supper. I had a "Boboli" thin crust and I put on a small can of a real tasty pizza sauce and topped it with pepperoni (H's side, I'm not a pepperoni fan) and some bits of turkey bacon all over and mozzerella. It was good! I like the turkey bacon on it a lot and H seemed to too.

I think I want to do twice baked potatoes tonight. But didn't put anything out to go with. I will have to micro-thaw something.
 
Baked Flounder - Love baked Flounder

Well I made some curry paste on the weekend , turned out lovely apart from I forgot to grind the pepper corns and Corriander seeds before adding it to the other ingredients. Still tastes good to.

Made a Honey Soy chicken Stirfry for dinner Sunday night & Last night we had a chicken korma Pie with steamed vegies.

I even made a cheesecake , was good but a little short on the biscuit base as when I took the case off from around the Cheesecake it crumbled .......

Tuna casserole and mashed potatoes tonight.
 
We ate an early dinner today. I made sausage, onions, and bell peppers again. It also has tomatoes, mushrooms, and penne pasta. Harvey really likes it, and I think the friend we often send food to does as well. I like it, but I especially like that it doesn't heat up the whole kitchen since I can't make it in one big skillet.
 
Ryan if you ever come to the states please come stay with me. We can exchange recipes.

Last night I cheated, we had chicken alfredo, and all I had to do was bake two breats and open a boxc of pasta alfredo, believe it or not it was good.

Tonight we are having pork chops baked zuccinni with mozzerela cheese.

I've got six pints of relish in the canner, got to get them out.
 
steaks and twice baked potatoes last night. LOVE those twiced baked taters! Frozen pizza tonight. Going to try another different brand again.
