The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

[IrishHeart]

Jammies it is.

Man, first I learn I weigh myself incorrectly,

then I learn I dress all wrong.

What's next?

DO NOT ANSWER THAT you WISE MONKEYS.....that was rhetorical!

I think SKILisa is calling it her " Holy crap, I'm awake! anniversary!" and it's cause for celebration (and I know she likes these emoticons) Have a wonderful celebration, Skidoodle.

Just wondering if we should update and consider onesies for winter instead of muumus? I am having cheese for dinner. Maybe I should have something with it, but that would be adding unnecessary extra calories.

Have wine. If you drink enough you won't remember and if you don't remember the calories don't count!

(snort) onesies.... and you are adorable! You're trying to to use up all that glorious Stilton, aren't you?!! Kudos!! (do NOT try to use it in a smoothie.. )

Couldn't have said it better -- thanks guys.

I vote for very plush and cozy footsie jammies -- I have an adult sized pattern -- once we have the compound I will take orders in your choice of colors!

[GottaSki]

PS for Bunny - I like your taste in cabana boyz - I'll keep my eye out for the right candidates on the beaches - not a fan of the clone - but do think we can find a few to do your bidding.

Hahaha, I was wondering if I was the only Paul Newman fan in the crowd!

[mushroom]

No, no,no -- he's been a hottie for me all my life, practically. Those eyes..... And as a teenager, James Dean.... (in all his inarticulateness).

And sometimes painful overacting. When I showed Rebel Without a Cause in my Themes in American Film course, I had to stifle my laughter at the back of the room. He was awfully cute though. 'Tis a shame he died so young..

Bunz, I also loved Paul Newman! My guy has blue eyes like that, but there's a lot to be said for Robert Redford, too.

Happy New Year's Eve, Everyone! (well, actually Happy New Year, Shroom--you're already "there" aren't you? assuming you are still in NZ right now?)

Best Wishes for a Healthy, Happy and Adventure-filled New Year to all.

xxoo

yes....but this just brings this convo back to our original thought.

If we all just lived in our cottages in the gluten-free compound, we'd be able to graze from house to house every day.

Yes - I'm just picturing cattle and sheep grazing on Switzerland meadows. Not so bad!

[love2travel]

Tonight is British Pub fayre:

Cumberland Bangers with Mash (and my mash ain't no ordinary mash) and Caramelized Onion Sauce

Mushy Minted Peas

...and I'm working on something else. Not exactly sure what it will be yet. And no, this is NOT code for something cabana-boy related, Irish!

[Celiac Mindwarp]

Happy New Year one and all

Looks like I get to look after cabana boy Depp....

[IrishHeart]

Holy smokes! We just got an invite to have dinner with the angel who runs the Gluten Free Restaurant near us--in their home. Tonight.

Think I said YES?? you betcha!!!!!.

I'm bringing dessert. I'm a nervous wreck....she's a champion baker.

This should be AWESOME!!!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope that everyone is blessed with good health and minimal worries.

Tonight we are heading to my mom's where we always have snacky type food. I made bacon stuffed mushrooms and chicken cheese quesadillas. I know my mom found Udi's pepperoni pizza and she usually makes taco dip, hot spinach and artichoke dip, broccoli dip with potato rounds. There is always usually chicken wings and mini hot dogs, plus other stuff that I can't even think of right now. I will also be bringing myself a Zevia root beer so I have something bubbly to toast with while everyone else has their sparkling cider.

Yep, I kicked 2012's butt last night as he was sneaking out the door. And well he should sneak, preferably with his tail between his legs, for the miserable year he inflicted

It was a doozy (and good riddance to bad rubbish ...as my Dad would say)

and I hope you are feeling chipper and ready for 2013. Many blessings to you!

Last night's dinner was " Experimental Snack Night":

Bacon jam

Potato snowballs ( mashed potatoes around a piece of moz or cheddar, coated in bread crumbs and baked"

Mozzarella " sticks" ( spray mini muffing pan with a good coating of olive oil, breadcrumbs, cheese cube, cover with more bread crumbs & spritz of olive oil)

Champagne Cheddar spread

Apples, against the Grain baguette, assorted gluten-free crackers, encore cheese sliced

Verdict:

J didn't care for any of it except the left- over cheese and apples

M liked it all except he wouldn't try the RBJ

hub & I liked it all. He was surprised how much he like the RBJ. The potato balls were a bit bland. The recipe doesn't call for seasoning the potatoes. However, RBJ on top gives them a great flavor. Maybe put it in the middle and season the potatoes with salt, garlic powder, etc.

Put some RBj in the freezer, hope it freezes well.

Tonight: pizza

Trying to make a sourdough crust. Might put a bit of the RBJ on one pizza.
