Here we go everyone!

Post what you would like to share about your evening time meal.
Especially interesting would be some photographs of your meals; however, no photographs are required. 
Recipes are sometimes posted too.

Bon appétit!

My sweetie and I went to a nice affordable local restaurant and enjoyed good food.  Then she provided dessert at her place.

I had a ribeye steak and she had a New York Strip steak.  Plus I had French onion soup and she had chicken soup.  We each had a small salad and there was bread and butter to share.

Today will be leftover homemade pizza heated in air fryer to keep crust good.  Toppings = ham, pineapple, red peppers,  and black olives.

I just realized my old schooling thinks noon is dinner and evening is supper.  LOL  I don't have "evening dinner" planned yet.

I enjoyed lasagna with my sweetie but she had something else going on this evening so no further sharing, no dessert, and no continued good conversation this evening.  A girl cannot be disappointed though because she was a delight to be with for the meal.

Quote from: ChrissyRyan on November 20, 2024, 09:38:56 PMToday I had chicken pot pie.

What is a pot pie? I know of this term but don't know what it is. I am going to assume in the UK we just call it a pie. But 'Muricans have to specify it's in a pot of some description? And not made of something eye-twitchingly sweet with a side order of Diabetes?

I don't think I have ever posted in this thread before, lol. Tonight I had bangers and mash. But the mash was made with my new-fangled potato ricer. The greatest invention literally since the invention of the potato. By the dude who also made BMX's. It's like restaurant quality mash without the Gordon Ramsay obscenities. Also, I battered the sausages, because it's freezing cold here, so... reasons, lol. And thick gravy. If you can't eat it with a fork, you clearly don't understand gravy, or live in London. :P

Thats right, you have to eat gravy with a knife and fork. I also hate runny custard. "posh" lamb curry tonight, marinated in yogurt and spices for 24hrs then has almonds added that have soaked for the same time. Cooked on the hob till simmering then cover with foil and the lid (used my cast pot) and cooked at 160c for an hour.

I had a big lunch today at a seminar.

Nevertheless, I stopped by a chicken place and got some of their famous original recipe chicken.  This were better than the frozen tenders I cooked yesterday evening.  I cooked fries in my air fryer tonight though.

Christmas candy!

My apartment complex doesn't have assigned parking spaces, but those of us who have been here the longest have "our spots" where we always park. Today someone was in "my spot" and I was hauling groceries from my car in a small cart.

My neighbor (from Scotland) asked what I was doing. I said that some Yo-Yo in that blue Toyota (her car) parked in my spot so now I have to haul all of my stuff all the way across the parking lot. She got this guilty look on her face, reached into her car, and handed me a little gift bag of candy. We hugged and said, "Merry Christmas".

She was leaving, so she got out of my spot and I am having chocolates, mints, and candy canes for dinner. I have some really awesome neighbors.

Monday night my sweetie visited and we enjoyed a pizza.  She likes extra cheese, that is okay with me.  She likes green peppers, I can take them or leave them.  But we both liked the other toppings.

Again, she provided a most tasty dessert.  This time it was strawberry ice cream.

Udon soup with eggs, a mushroom, other veggies, with shrimp tempura.

No I did not make it.  It was very good.  Hard to eat the noodles with a soup spoon, so chopsticks or a fork worked better for the wide, long, flour Udon noodles.  It seemed to be in a soy sauce type of soup base.  It was very good. 

An unusual meal for me but it is good to try ethic foods occasionally.  Also had some rice and a small salad.  Unsure what the salad dressing was, but the salad was good too.

Today is Saturday.  I had lunch out with a friend, enjoying a beef brisket sandwich on a big Artesian roll.  Mighty good, it was.  Had some waffle fries with it too.


So. . .  I am not hungry and again unsure about what I may have for an evening meal.

I wonder if a McFlurry will be a good meal substitute?

I hope you enjoyed your Turkey Manhattan!

Yes, it was really good.  I bought a fully cooked turkey breast and carved off some slices for the Turkey Manhattan.  The turkey was so good.  Astonishingly good flavor, it had.

There is a deli in NY City that serves good pastrami and good turkey sandwiches.  The turkey sandwich is not cheap, about $28!  Harry and Sally went there as actors in a romance movie.  If you wanted to have as a meal what Sally had there, you would have the turkey sandwich.

I was out shopping, so stopped at A&W. I ordered a small cheeseburger, small french fries, and a small root beer. Total $8.72

I waited for quite a while for them to bring my food. I thought it was strange because no one else was there. Soon a man came out with a bag (I said "Dine In" so it should have been a tray). He asked if I was number 83. I said that I didn't know I ordered a cheeseburger and fries and showed him my receipt. He set the bag down and walked away.

There was no one else around, so it must have been my order.

So I had a large double-cheeseburger and a large order of chili fries with my small root beer. Order total was closer to $20 than the $8 that I paid.

I kept waiting for someone to show up looking for their order, but no one did. I was prepared to pay the difference if anyone asked, but no one did. I have no idea what happened to my order. It must have been Fate.

Whoever ordered the double-cheeseburger with chili fries, thank you. It was delicious.  ;D

You were supersized or upsized at no additional charge.

I have found that leftover fries can be reheated and made less soggy by using an air fryer.
A&W at one time owned Long John Silver's, a chain that has dwindled in number of restaurants and has been sold numerous times.

That is an extremely good price for a 4 lb. turkey breast, if it was already fully cooked.  Uncooked, that is still a good price.

So, I told her that I would pick her up and suggested a place that serves fish and chips and some other entrees.  I probably will get fish and chips myself but maybe some pan fried fish.

I have a small portable bathroom heater. Yep. Electric, just like my heating pad and electric blanket. If it gets too cold, I will fire up the propane space heater. It works very well and is made for indoor use. (Many are not safe due to carbon monoxide.) I have used it in my camper and my tent both times that I was homeless, so I know it works well. I just don't want to use my propane if I don't need to.

To my pleasant surprise, my sweetie brought over some delicious lasagna and breadsticks so we did not go to a restaurant.  After eating we enjoyed sitting in front of the warm fireplace.

I am teetotal normally, but my friend got me some Tequila for Christmas. Hoo boy. It always makes me think of the movie "Poltergeist 2". With the whole worm thing, lol.

You do not want to see a drunk Lauren. It doesn't mix with my meds. Makes me slightly unhinged. But damn, tequila tastes nice.

No worms in tequila. That is Mezcal. Both are made from Agave, but tequila is only made in certain districts in Mexico, and only using the Weber Blue Agave plant. Anything else is considered mezcal.

The worm is a parasite that feeds on peyote cactus, so is thought to enhance the intoxicant effects of the alcohol.

It is like champagne. Real champagne is only made in Champagne County in France. Anything else is considered sparkling wine.

The main difference in these is there are strict quality standards on the ingredients and the distilling process. Therefore, no worm impurities in tequila.  ;D

Fortunately, there is an On The Border restaurant near my place, and my bestie is always up for a free meal, so I don't have to eat alone. Win - win.

We plan to pig out tonight.  ;D

This is a sit-down restaurant, not fast food. More like a Chili's or Chi-Chi's (when they existed).

I had a chicken fajita burrito with Mexican rice and refried beans. I couldn't eat it all and brought half of it home for tomorrow night. Maybe if we hadn't eaten two baskets of chips with salsa and guacamole.  ;D

Not me. We had the Flaming Pu-Pu Platter as an appetizer. It had two of each of egg rolls, chicken wings, pork ribs, crab rangoon, and something on a skewer with pineapple, chicken, and beef. My friend had cashew chicken, and I had sweet and sour pork, and we split a bowl of fried rice. We had tea to drink, and they had to wheel us out when we couldn't eat anymore. We both have takeout boxes we brought home, and we are feeling quite fat and lazy now.

So worth it. The food was excellent. I will definitely plan to go back soon.

Dear Chrissy:
Yes, eating alone when out of town is not a happy time...
...if I was not with a client or with a co-worker, instead of going to dinner, lunch,
or breakfast at a sit-down restaurant I would often just do fast food and many times
take it back to my car or my hotel room to eat.

Travel safe...
HUGS, Danielle

I have recently tried chicken potstickers.  They are easy to cook and easier to eat.
Potstickers sauce though makes them better, and a little bottle of that you can get from Amazon and likely Asian groceries.

Four (whole) chicken wings. 

If at all sports or a wings restaurant those four (4) whole wings would be considered to be eight wings.  Note that each whole wing has a drumstick like section and a wing like section (plus a section that has almost no meat and is tossed).  So they charge you for two wings for every whole wing you order.

Today I made me a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich, and enjoyed a glass of milk with it.


It was not a fancy meal like Tuesday's supper but it was satisfying to me.

The issue I have with a lot of these store bought bowls of food is the often high sodium content.  Especially for bowls of soup.  An occasional consumption would likely not be an issue.

Very true. I don't live off of them. Some days I get very busy, and before I realize, it is dinner time and I haven't had lunch! So, rather than spend 30 - 60 minutes cooking, which I hate doing anyway, I just pop a meal in the microwave. This brand is new to me, so I decided to try it.

So very good!  Especially when made with fresh rye bread, not the marbled variety.
Reminds me of the Reuban I had at Carnegie Deli, Manhattan back in the day; 02:00 hours after a super long day sorting out a trade show.  That sarnie was heaped over 4 inches thick with the deli corned beef, the sauce so creamy the sauerkraut fresh from a barrel....so yummy.

I discovered the Jersey Corner in Parowan, Utah a couple of weeks ago that finally, after 30 years, gave me that experience once more.

Try peanut butter (if no allergies), mustard, and onions. It makes your mouth do strange things, but it is a good sandwich.

I have also tried peanut butter, mayo, and Fritos corn chips. That is tamer than the above but good eatin' fo' us po' folks waitin' on dat gubment check. Sometimes, it gets tough between paydays.  ;D
