Jenny, yes you got me hungry.  Even for midrats. That is a meal and not a feral animal. 
At least is is not a repeat of your sky high pizza.
I had large boiled shrimp and a baked potatoes. Simple but so good.

Quinoa

You lost me on that one. (Just not a fan of quinoa no matter how I try it.)

I want a really good crawfish etouffee now. None of that tomato based nonsense, authentic original roux based etouffee! Where did I put that cajun textbook... (seriously, it's basically a textbook not a cookbook.)

Always a mistake to check this thread before lunch--everyone's dinner sounds so yummy! I did in fact make soft tofu stew with seafood. Homemade kimchi gives it a delightful flavor. I also made a double batch of fish stock. The only thing I love about cold weather is SOUP!

Try a heavy duty lentil soup with kielbasa. That's real good when it gets cold.

I will definitely have to try lentil & kielbasa--seems like that would be good with a little kale or escarole, too. Anyone else have a fav soup for winter? I can never get enough!!!

One of my more unique creations I call a Greek omelet burrito

   LOL, if you noticed I didn't use tomato either. I suck at traditional roux though. And that gumbo is the only way I can stomach quinoa as well. I know it's good for me, but don't care for the taste or texture. In the gumbo on a slow cook with the spices, can't even tell it's there until it settles in your tummy and you really feel full.

HUGS!

    Fav cold weather soup? Anything spicy: Chili, Gumbo, or even homemade Chicken and Rice or Tomato Soup with some spices and cayenne. As long as its thick, hearty, filling, and clears my sinuses then great.

HUGS!

Tonights Menu:  Squashage

    Quartered slices of Beef Smoked Sausage, Zucchini, and Yellow Summer Squash sauteed in an Olive Oil base, then turned into a sauce, over Pasta and topped with Parmesan.



    Saute base: Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Aged Balsmic Vinegar, Butter, Minced Garlic, Chopped Onion, Seasoned Salt, Black Pepper, Oregano, Basil, Rosemary, Thyme; sauteed for 15-20 minutes (until zucchini softens.) Then added milk, and shredded Mozzarella, Provolone and Asiago cheese, stirred and simmered until sauce is uniform, dash of cayenne added at the end.

    Pasta: Ti-Color Rotini cooked Al Dente, lightly seasoned with Olive Oil, Butter, Garlic Salt, and Italian Seasoning, Egg noodles or diced red potatoes work as alternative starches.

    Hope I got a few more people hungry.

HUGS!

Made a pizza 

Balti covered Lamb, that's 1inch cubed leg of lamb marinade in fine chopped onion , ginger, garam masala , turmeric, ground cumin, tomatoes , 2 green chilies sliced in rings, fresh coriander   and yogurt left in the fridge 24 hours. fry some chopped garlic then add mixture fry couple mins and then add water, bring to boil and then cook on low for 1 hr. Lamb was melt in the mouth and chilies made me sweat a bit , very nice   

A horrible, horrible thing was done this eve, but a few removed from the night of Samhain. A pact was broken. A PACT OF DIETING. ... Seriously, I made a giant lava brookie in a slow cooker and now I'm in pain, 1500 calories over budget, and regretting it so very,very much.

Oh, uh, and also I made Philly cheese steaks again since the original deal for london broil was 2 for 1. Dinner wasn't entirely the giant monstrosity I shall never speak of henceforth.

Monday I'm planning crawfish etouffee!

That lamb dish sounds divine, Davina! If I ever hop across the pond, I am stopping in for dinner!

May I ask what a "brookie" is and how one makes it in a slow cooker? Gotta feed my sweet tooth 

Did Sole in a yogurt and chili sauce with dry curry courgettes ,that was nice flavour but the bones are a pain, lots of fine ones

Brownie-cookie. Just toss brownie batter and cookie dough of choice alternated in the slow cooker until done to your liking. Gotta really watch the edges, and how it turns out is heavily dependent on your slow cooker.

Anyway, tonight i made my crawifsh etouffee. It was okay-ish, used a crawfish stock that overpowered the other flavors, should have stuck with chicken broth or water.

I made German meatballs with potato dumplings , gravy and red sauerkraut. My dad loves German meatballs but I don't make them a lot because they are kind of a pain with cooking them 3 times and all that.
