So...whats for dinner?

Yum Sandy! Your meal at RPM sounds sublime.
Valstim, that is what I do. I take the classics from my youth and make them my own with fresh ingredients. Have been doing this for years cause when my kids were growing up, they wanted lots of processed stuff like Hamburger Helper so I made my own with real cheeses etc. Works great when you want to control sodium, fat and quality. I still make my own Chinese take out like Fried Rice and Lo Mein. I do love the full on fat egg rolls from delivery though. I can't get mine to taste as good. Oh well, once in a blue moon...LOL
Tonight I am grilling some London Broil that I will marinate for a few hours first. I am thinking Terriyaki or using a dry rub. It comes out tender on the grill if you slice it thinly against the grain and it was so cheap. I have been craving beef and steak is too pricey right now so this will work. I will make some grilled peppers onions and tomatoes in my grill basket and some mushroom and Spinach Risotto (in the kitchen) with it. I am hungry!
We have been ordering take out lately because I have painters at my house and they have everything upside down! They will be done Friday thank goodness. I am selling my home soon and we had to paint as it hasn't been done since we bought it in 2008!
Have a great day and Eric, try to stay cool. I cannot believe how hot it has been out west lately.

Dinner tonight will be the yummy steak-and-sides leftovers from RPM…but none of that Barolo Bob mistakenly opened the other night: my PCP just messaged me that I need to give up alcohol (not just NSAIDs & aspirin) until my next CBC July 16, to see if my hemoglobin stops dropping. If it does, that means I might have to give up all wine! (Unless he just says to go ahead and supplement iron). He doesn’t think my ferritin (13) is lower than “low-normal” (normal being 11-300), but Bob (my husband the cardiologist) says that for a postmenopausal woman, anything <100 is “low.” PCP also says my last upper GI endoscopy didn’t show serious enough erosion to constitute a bleed, nor did the colonoscopy show my hemorrhoids were bleeding. He wouldn’t prescribe a capsule endoscopy unless my hemoglobin continues to drop. (Bob says he’s pretty sure I have a tiny AVM in my small intestine, but would treat it with just iron supplementation).

Dinner tonight is complicated. Italian family's plane is very late so they will arrive during our normal dinner time. Will need to delay, I guess. Grilled prime boneless ribeye, salad, and a baked sweet potato.
Had a long nap today. Totally knocked out. Guess that is what I needed.

Silly thing going around Facebook today. Usually, I don't play along, but I like marking where I have been.
-
This Italian family is so cool!!! Communication is a bit complicated, but who cares? They are such nice people. The young girl has the best English. She and her Dad have a competition about how to use our language. He won the shower competition. Take a shower, vs have a shower. But I know that she is the better speaker of English. He does too.
*susan*
-
Susan, how cool! (My Italian is limited to “due cappuccini, per favore” and “dove e la toilette?”).

I got permission to share this recipe that Ruth posted on the Book Lover's Club. Her comment was - just eat it from the pan. No point it dirtying another dish because it will be gone before you can turn around.
Our own Val made it last night. I love her comments & she said it's OK to re-post. >>>>Ruthbru, what a dessert. We stood around the island and everyone ate from the pan. My dd3's husband is a finicky eater and he ate the most.... Oh boy!!!!! My grandson who thinks i'm the best ever anyway (ha) had chocolate all over his face.....

-
P.S. - this recipe so reminds me of the great QUICK things that the founder of this thread, Laurie, used to whip up. I think some of you are still in touch with her. Please tell her we still think of her.
-
joycek - Shepherd's pie and penne sound good to me too!
Tonight will be bratwurst, roasted sweet potato chucks tossed in olive oil, S&P, and cinnamon and roasted, and a kale Caesar salad.
susan - glad you are enjoying the Italian fam - I will be curious to see what they think about their visit. Had they been here before?
chisandy - you have me beat - I can handle buongiorno, grazie, cappuccino, Peroni, and gelato. So... good morning, thanks, coffee, beer and ice cream! I could decode menus decently as long as they were not too complicated - but we are all probably pretty familiar with Italian food words, lol!
-
My idea of basic foreign language proficiency is the ability to order coffee & eggs and not get motor oil & rocks

I had anemia (actually, around 10) back in Jan. 2013 at a followup after 6 weeks of dieting & Lipitor for high LDL & triglycerides. The upper endoscopy (a repeat of the one I had along with my 2011 colonoscopy) revealed some slight erosions “of probable chemical origin" (the GI doc's words). I was put on oral iron, yanked off oral NSAIDs (but not topicals, nor my heart aspirin) and told to eat more red meat, egg yolks, dark green leafies, and dark chocolate. The cause was all the Aleve I'd been taking for post-RTKR rehab pain and pre-LTKR bone-on-bone arthritis, so I wouldn't have to take opioids or near-opioids (like tramadol). Post-LTKR, I had to make do with no NSAIDs at all. (Took longer to wean off Norco & tramadol, but I did it). The diet (with a short vacation during my LTKR rehab to allow for a little bit of ice cream as my PT workout reward before weaning off Norco) and the effort of PT led to a 40+ lb. weight loss I was able to maintain until bc dx in Sept. 2015 and AI therapy starting New Year's Eve.
I never resumed the Aleve & Advil. I started taking celecoxib (and using Voltaren gel & Flector patches) in Aug. 2014 after I tore the head of my L gastroc. while hiking in Vail, and again in Feb. 2015 after I got bursitis and tore two glutes after a combination of shoveling snow and then walking through 3-ft. drifts (using ski poles to avoid falling) the next day to a Super Bowl party. I noticed the celexoxib kept me from hurting in general, so I continued taking it; and used the Voltaren gel on indiv. joint pains, and the patches for the bursitis during a trip to Spain in spring 2015 and again when I threw my lower back out this past Dec. My current deep muscle strain has been a real trial, with nothing to treat it but Baclofen, warm showers, and exercises. (And my topical placebos from the drugstore, mainly Traumeel arnica, Blue Emu and Bio-Freez).
Never needed any transfusions (except during surgery), but came close in 1996 while in rehab from tib-fib fx open-red. int. fixation surgery, when my hemoglobin dipped into the high 7s. But iron pills brought it back up.
With the “dueling opinions" by Bob & my PCP about whether my 13 ferritin level is low (Bob) or “low end of normal" (PCP), I will ask my MO (to whom I e-mailed all my latest test results at her request). She will be the “coin toss."
-
I caught up on reading but let myself get too far behind to comment to everyone. Nance, I am relieved that you sound more like your normal self, back to cooking and enjoying food. Very positive update on your dad. The most surprising fact about his status is that he's allowed to get about in an electric wheelchair. My mother would be thrilled if she could use hers. But safety for all concerned would definitely be an issue. She wrecked her house, running into things. Backing up was a big challenge for her.
Dinner tonight will feature a pork tenderloin that is marinating in a mixture of olive oil, fresh rosemary, minced garlic, s & p. If the weather permits, I'll cook it on the grill. Side will be a good tossed salad and boiled new red potatoes with butter and sour cream.
I bought more cotton yarn today. The stack of crocheted dish cloths is growing. I am using one and it works great.
-
I recall my own mom’s first attempt to pilot one of those electric shopping carts at a Wal-Mart in Boca Raton. She careened happily down the aisle, bumping into shelves (and narrowly avoided taking down several endcaps). She normally got around with a Rollator (or for longer distances with someone to push her, a wheelchair). Thank goodness she decided she was able to use a regular shopping cart as a de facto walker at Target & Costco.
I’m defrosting some halibut, but if Bob wants to go to Cellars for dinner I will drive so we can take home the wines I bought last week. (No chance of DUI—I’m teetotaling till 7/16). If they have the softshell crab, I’ll order that. Or maybe the fish & chips (saving half of it for Gordy). The Palm has a 4-lb. lobster special, so that’s a thought too. Need to back off the red meat for a bit, as I had steakhouse leftovers two nights in a row after our dinner out.
-
Just for grins, how much is the Palm's Lobster special??? Last time I was at the Palm - 6 or 7 years ago - I didn't think the meal was worth the price. Oh never mind, I looked it up. $99.00 for two. So say $65 each after tax & tip. And that's without their pricey drinks. That just about goes over my budget for an ENTIRE MONTH - one meal out a week under $20.
Tonight was leftover pizza. Last night's HUGE salad and two giant pieces of pizza was $12.00 and that provided two meals. Earlier this week I met a friend at Chuy's for a margarita & mexican food - total $14.00. Last week I had dinner at Katz Deli - $9.00 and way too much food.
For the holiday I treated myself to a movie today. Saw Beguiled. I'd probably classify it as an art show - brooding, emotional, but very picturesque - Virginia 3 years into the Civil War. I won't give away any of the plot since it just opened in theaters. I only go to a movie 2 or 3 times a year. Since it was 11am, I got the senior price of $9.00. But my goodness - the smallest popcorn was $8.00. The smallest drink was $7.00. Luckily I had a stick of gum in my purse & there was a water fountain outside the door.
Sorry if I sound parsimonious, but I'm trying to make sure my money might possibly last until I die. Especially since we have no idea what will happen with our social security down the road.
-
DH made a slow cooker pot roast tonight, it was very good
-
Dh has gone back to VA to work so last night and again tonight I had leftover boiled shrimp and tossed salad. Planning on going through some more closets, doors and drawers this weekend to "declutter" and let go of stuff we are not using.
-
It took me 30 years to figure out a good pot roast recipe..... :-)
-
Well, we can afford that lobster every now & then, and we have a very decent retirement fund (haven't started taking Social Security yet, but given health issues and that we're both past official retirement age we probably should). Sorry to give the mistaken impression of gloating—and I hope, on the flip side, that nobody here is being judgmental, either.
Yeah—I realize how very, very lucky we are. Bob works long & hard and has earned the right to play hard. (And we are lucky to have been raised in such means, at such a time in history that hard academic work, tuition-free college, and hard work again made decent-paying careers possible—not everyone gets to be, essentially, born on (even) first base: some don't even get to the on-deck circle). We may well have been the last generation in history to have enjoyed a higher standard of living than our parents had.
But getting back to that lobster: they usually give us a 5-pounder for the same price; I don't bother with their pricy drinks (I don't do cocktails and the only wine they have that isn't wildly overpriced isn't really worth the calories or the bite it takes out of my "alcohol allowance;" and I'm strictly teetotaling for the next three weeks); and their portions are so big that I can usually get at least 2 or 3 more meals out of that first meal. I believe in leftovers. We ate for three nights in a row off that anniversary steak; and tonight I had round three of Sun. night's meatloaf & broccoli leftovers.
-
joycek I agree with you. My dd3 and ds2 are true savers. Funny they are the ones with advanced degrees, have owned 2 homes etc. DD1, though gainfully employed, exists in a world of financial feast or famine. All due to her spending habits. Basically, she eats out all the time, buys whatever she wants, spends on lavish vacations, and then is broke. Literally. All 3 raised the same way. Both my husband and I are recipients of scholarships, parents saving for our education etc. Then we worked hard, saved, and then saved more. These days, my miser kids have to save and scrimp and even then, if they lose their jobs, there are not ready jobs available anymore. So we may very well be the last generation to live better than our parents. That was my parents only wish, that we live and achieve more than they did. That was a high bar that was set, as my mom was a physician, dad an engineer. They acheived all of this in Chicago in the 40's and 50's. Mom was african american, dad was irish.
I digress. Dinner last night was sauteed shrimp from our last trip to Charleston Sc. I spiced them up with red pepper flakes, garlic and olive oil. Sauteed zuchinni with garlic, tomatoes and fresh parmesan was the side.
-
Sharon and DD escaped the heat for a week by going to the Southern California beaches....so dinners were abbreviated. They got home last night.
Breakfast this morning was baked potatoes, tomatoes, eggs and fennel from here under the Tuscan Potatoes and Eggs panel. I *love* fennel, so I really liked the breakfast. I skipped the "assorted color" potatoes and just cubed a small potato. It worked fine.
I haven't decided what I want to do for dinner, but it probably won't be much. The hedge on the side of the house is trying to take over the sidewalk, so that needs to be "beat back" with a trimmer....working in hot weather is a sure appetite killer. :-)
-
Again, the camera didn't manage to take a photo before we ate our entire meal. In an unusual move for us, I made an appetizer. Rhode Island calamari– spicy, greasy, and garlicky. We ate this while the fire outside got started. Then dinner was a 2" inch thick Salmon steak, green salad, and the ciabatta I made today.
Tonight, I am making some tandoor chicken on the grill. I may skip the lentils tonight and just concentrate on that lovely cauliflower we found at the farmer's market. Rice, maybe some naan bread. We shall see. I am just a bit exhausted. This is the lowest day of the cycle. Managed to finish Nº 4.

Val - Thanks for sharing. Wonderful story. Fantastic accomplishments. My Dad was a CPA and my Mom a teacher, but I too got some scholarships & worked during college. Then continued to work.
I only have one son who is also a "saver". Years ago when I went to the grocery store with a friend, of course both 3-5 year olds considered whining for the toys or candy in the check out line. I had always told my son he might get a treat if he didn't fuss, but whining automatically got you nothing. She immediately bought her son a "reward" to keep him quiet. That boy doesn't know much about delayed gratification yet at age 47.
Eric - the eggs & potatoes look really good. I'll likely try that.
Susan - the ciabatta looks delicious. Sorry for the low days. I am always amazed by your energy. How did the visit with the Italians turn out?
Sandy - congrats on your husband's new appointment. Not sure if you posted here of elsewhere since I don't want to go back & lose my post.
-
Susan, you always make me drool—even more so when you post food porn photos. Ciabatta….mmmm….must…heat…panini…press……
Bob promises to be home for a late dinner, so I will pan-sear halibut (or nuke it in parchment with fresh herbs from our garden) and saute some marinated asparagus. If he wants a starch I might also make some brown rice &/or rainbow baby carrots for him. He gets the chardonnay, I get the blood-orange seltzer.
Joyce, Val, my folks and my in-laws were two different case studies in saving and spending. Neither ever went into debt (except my mom, whose retirement condo purchase was the first home she ever owned—but who did the math and realized her investments yielded more than the interest on the rather small mortgage). My dad was an investigator/inspector (wages, hours, working conditions) for the NYS Dept. of Labor; my mom, who'd been a legal sec'y/quasi-paralegal when I was born (they married in 1940, I was born in 1951) went back to work and worked her way up the NYC civil service ladder (from clerk-typist to caseworker-supervisor at the NYC Dept. of Soc. Svces) by acing every exam she took. Neither earned much, but both had great health & pension benefits; after my aunt sold her summer house in the Shawngunks where we spent summers till I was 10—with Dad driving up for weekends--we took very modest one-week vacations at small Catskill hotels, to visit family in Montreal, or to DC, once a year. We ate out maybe once a week, at restaurants owned by friends.
My mom had a black belt in grocery-shopping: she would bargain relentlessly with the fishmonger, greengrocer (Brooklyn supermarkets had awful produce), and butcher; and would buy large cheap cuts of beef or lamb and cut them into steaks (to tenderize) and stew/burger meat. We always had meat, fish or poultry at every dinner, and always a soup or salad starter (but usually not dessert). She never paid retail for anything she or we wore—and chewed me out mercilessly when I'd saved my allowance and part of my summer-job salary to buy a high-quality lined wool skirt (for the extravagant price of $35) at Macy's one Sept. (I wore that skirt for ten years, well into my marriage). My parents never consciously denied themselves or us anything—our expectations of what constituted necessities, treats, and luxuries were simply lower. We never had more than one car, always bought for cash, and either used or middle-of-the-line end-of-model-year clearance-priced. It didn't hurt that both my sister and I went to Brooklyn College when it was tuition-free, commuted from home, and I had a Regents scholarship that paid for my textbooks and student activity/lab fees. When my mom died, she left us the condo (with a small part of the mortgage remaining but a high monthly maintenance fee, so we ditched it) and a tiny annuity for me and a small inheritance for my sister (who needed the money more than we did anyway—Bob & I were already more than self-sufficient).
My in-laws were very different. They never took vacations—ever. They never owned a car (neither knew how to drive nor wanted to learn). They never took taxis—just walked to the buses which they took to the subway and to the supermarket (schlep-cart in tow). They bought their eastern Queens house in 1950, brand new, for cash ($5000). If they ate out at all, it was the occasional solo jaunt to Burger King my MIL made because my FIL was a vegan. Bob went to YMCA day camp (we went to secular day camp, run by the local school system). My MIL was a full-time housewife—they married & had Bob late, and before she got married she'd been a bookkeeper and would take the train down to SC occasionally to visit her BFF in HS who'd married & moved to Charleston. Those trips stopped when my in-laws got married. My FIL had never been outside NYS, even any further than Nassau County or Rye Beach, until he moved in with us in 2008. He was an accountant (reluctantly, as he was an English major & piano performance minor who was rejected by Juilliard and ended up getting his M.A. in English Lit. instead—and wrote poetry all his life, even as he spurned all music till I began to record & perform). Eventually, he worked his way up to V.P. for foreign ops at Chemical Bank—but while his peers bought large houses in tony suburbs, he & my MIL remained in that tiny 2-BR half-cape in Queens until she died at nearly 96. He was forced into early retirement at 60—with a huge golden parachute—because of his dogged resistance to diversity and technology.
They saved every penny they could—and supplemented Bob's research asst. stipend at U.W.'s grad school (we'd met at Brooklyn College & married & moved to Seattle after graduation) until I finished law school and began working. Bob became a doctor. When my FIL moved in with us after my MIL died, he sold his house for $450K and invested the proceeds, teaching Bob how to pick stocks. He left us as much as Bob & I had already saved for our retirement; we hope to be able to leave at least a modest trust for Gordy.
By contrast, one set of my aunts & uncles were quite status-conscious and moved in wealthier circles (they were, respectively, a symphony & session violinist and a B'way pit-band French horn player, and their friends & colleagues were much wealthier). They spent lavishly on restaurants (though my aunt was a fantastic cook), clothes, luxury cars & furniture, took foreign vacations and bought a country house retreat. They went into debt a few times, but died pretty much even. (Their kids had already comfortably “self-launched" and made them grandparents and even great-grandparents).

Minus,
The Italians are still here. They check-out tomorrow. Communication has not been easy, but all of us are nice people, so we have googled and played charades. They seem happy. They are very Italian. Off early in the AM. The two women enjoy a croissant or cranberry-walnut bread, while he enjoys a robust cup of coffee. The amount of sugar being consumed is rather astonishing, and they are all skinny people. They get off early in the morning and then return around 4PM for their afternoon nap. Showers all around, and then they head out to dinner. Tonight they returned to some Organic Orange-Almond cakes. Of course, I had asked if they would enjoy such a thing so that they didn't finish their dinner out with a dessert.
Next four sets of guests are all Americans. Far less enjoyable group of guests, I have to admit. Americans want things to be "just like home." They think we are too far from Boston. They don't like taking the bus to the subway.
Dinner was perfect. Neither of us wanted the dal, and found the cauliflower to so fresh and perfect.
*susan*
-
Realized the halibut wasn’t going to be big enough for both of us, so I also defrosted a small tail piece of Copper River salmon. Pan-seared them both, with just salt & pepper (no oil), and put them on a bed of arugula sprinkled with a bit of orange olive oil and sea salt flakes. Bob said he didn’t need a starch, so I blanched some asparagus and pan-seared them in olive oil, finished with balsamic vinegar & sea salt. Dessert was a little mango mochi ice cream ball from Whole Foods (they have a mix&match freezer case full of different flavors). We’re going to dim sum brunch tomorrow. (Yeah, it’s carby, but the portions are small and I can always fill up on the Chinese broccoli & braised duck feet).
-
I went down memory lane a bit today. Back in February, when I was clearing out my mom's house, way back in the back of a cabinet was an aluminum pan with handles on each side and a glass top.
I smiled when I saw it, glad that mom and dad had saved it. From my earliest memories all the way through high school, I saw my grandfather standing at the stove and using this pan to make popcorn.
When I found the popper, I bought a jar of popcorn but never got around to making it--until tonight.
Sharon mentioned something about popcorn and I decided to see if I could do what my grandfather did for so many years. I apparently remembered pretty well because there were very few unpopped kernels and nothing was scorched.
Now I need to go brush my teeth... :-) Popcorn is wonderful, but the hulls drive me crazy.
Oh, for dinner tonight Sharon cooked a broccoli and cauliflower pasta dish that was really good.
-
Ah, good ol’ Club cast aluminum! A dear friend of mine bought a set one piece at a time, on subscription. She passed in 1999, and her daughter inherited it. Now you have me craving popcorn!
-
My Mom popped corn in a skillet. We had popcorn many cold rainy afternoons in front of a roaring fire after we'd walked home from elementary school in our yellow slickers. I think I'd better have popcorn for dinner too.
Eric - I like all three of those ingredients - broccoli, cauliflower & pasta. Will you share Sharon's recipe?
-
You had me craving popcorn too! Just put some kernels in the air popper, which promptly crapped out on me. Back to the old fashioned pot and stove top.
-
You can make popcorn using regular kernels in a brown paper lunch bag in the microwave also - it works pretty well and it is super easy, but old school tastes better!. Just make sure you stop the microwave when you don't hear kernels popping anymore. Here is a link for anyone who is interested - I think we had this conversation previously back many pages - also discussed using a Pyrex bowl in the microwave.
