What's For Dinner - Part 2

[DrPusey]

I actually made something real for dinner for a change from the routine lately - bulgur pilaf, served with pumpkin seeds, a little sour cream, and shredded jalapeno jack on top.

Tomato feta pizza. Salad of arugula, sliced apple, and almonds with a mustardy vinaigrette.

[DrPusey]

Tonight I'm having baguette slices and a Pixie Crunch apple with some surprisingly nice Stilton from Trader Joe's.

[RachelB]

We made Deb Perelman's "fall-toush" (brussels sprouts, squash, onion, pita chips, with a lovely tangy, herby dressing).

[RachelB]

Pita with hummus and [ur=http://www.seattlepi.com/lifestyle/food/article/Cook-It-Balilah-Chickpea-Salad-1259154.phpl]balilah, with feta, cress, and chopped tomato.

[RachelB]

Lemon ricotta ravioli. Steamed fennel with walnut oil and lemon.

Polish Chicken patties and egg noodles. Hubby is over his tummy issues so we have to fatten him up. I'm making a cheesecake on sunday. Tomorrow night is either Buffalo Wild Wings or Brother Jimmy's BBQ. Its so nice to see him able to eat!

I had a veggie burger w/sauteed onions & 'shrooms, curly fries and coffee at my local greasy spoon.

[RachelB]

Vegetarian onion soup using hard cider. Baguette and cheddar.

A dairy-free carrot cake on the border of sweet and savory.

Sauteed mustard greens.

[DrPusey]

Tonight we had pierogi with sauteed cabbage and grated Parmesan.

[RachelB]

^ swoon.

[RachelB]

Roasted eggplant pizza with feta and tomato. A crisp, tart apple for dessert.

[Reverend Ladypants]

Brown rice noodles with butternut squash (steamed, mashed, mixed in).

[RachelB]

Last night was fried butter beans with sorrel, garlic, green onion, and sumac. Crusty bread.

Tonight, I'm contemplating having the last of that augmented with some apple-cress salad. It wasn't supposed to be so hot today!

[Geechee Girl]

Liquid dinner while I cram for a French exam. :martini:

[RachelB]

^ I hope it went well!

I'm making rice bowls with roasted sweet potatoes, chard, onion, and a miso-ginger sauce.

Maybe chocolate atole for dessert, seeing as it's that time of year.

[Geechee Girl]

Tonight's dinner is spicy creole shrimp with red potatoes.

Thanks! I should have my grade Monday. I felt like I did well, although I'm more worried about German.

Happy Day if the Dead to you! Chocolate atole sounds delicious!

[RachelB]

Last night, fried rice with bell peppers, ginger, and baked tofu.

Tonight, eggplant pizza.

I made the "wacky Cincinnati chili" from Vegan Slow Cooking for Two or Just You.

It was OK, but bland. In the future I'll revert to the Hard Times Cafe vegetarian chili recipe I used mumblety years ago when I used to cook and see if it scales down. The peanuts make it awesome.

Hubby's appetite is back and he put in a request for cheese ravioli and fried eggplant. Much better than chicken broth and yogurt.

[RachelB]

Coconut-based apple curry. Rice. Pineapple for dessert.

[DrPusey]

We went out to a new local place. I had a fried tofu po'boy, which was quite tasty. MrDrPusey ate the red skin potato salad that came with it, since it had egg in it and I'm not a fan of that. He had a fried catfish basket. I snarfed some of his hush puppies, which were a fine specimen of that food group. The restaurant makes them from locally milled corn.

[RachelB]

Rotini with chard, raisins, pine nuts, and a spiced light cream sauce.

[RachelB]

Last night, a local restaurant was hosting a chef who cooked a riff on low-country food:

pork fritters (of which I did not partake, because meat)

nettle fritters with a pepper relish (of which I did partake)

benne wafers with pimiento cheese

fennel bisque (with prawns for the meat eaters)

farro and chanterelles, accompanied by mustard greens and benne (I could have happily just eaten the mustard greens all night. SO GOOD)

duck with turnips, lovage puree, sunchokes, and yacón (subbing mushrooms for the duck for me)

benne-apple-huckleberry tart

It was a lot of fun! And there were some unfamiliar-to-me flavor combinations, so I learned things, too.

[cindyluvs24]

NY strip steaks with mushroom sauce (w/o the mushrooms, because hubs doesn't like them), with apple corn cakes and root veg that I cheated and bought ready-made from Legman's.
