and it's not very good.



I was too lazy to go grocery shopping so it's all I really had in the house. Pasta nugget-y things, carrots, red peppers and onions. Some italian dressing and lots of pepper.

bleh. it's a very boring dinner.


What are you having?

CarrieMpls said:

left over bbq'd turkey burgers, bbq'd corn on the cob, bbq'd pineapple slices, and broccoli

Nothing!

I never eat dinner.. Lunch is my biggest meal

Carrie it sounds yummy!

Mmmmmm, pasta salads my fave!

CarrieMpls said:

I just ate breakfast not to long ago. Dinner isn't for anothr 8 hours or so. Yeah, I will have dinner around midnight my time. But I don't have breakfast until about 1pm so it works out.

purplerein said:

ok, when you say BBQ'd, do you mean crilled, or that it's all covered in BBQ suace. Cause it all sounds yummy w/BBQ sauce, but that's a lotta sauce in one meal.


Sounds better than my dinner anyway.

Salad's all in the dressing

You want one with Olive Oil, Mustard, Black Pepper and Balsamic Vinegar

It's not awful. It's just not super yummy.

Spookymuffin said:

I have a rosemary balsamic vinagrette in the fridge, but that sounded funny for pasta salad...

CarrieMpls said:

Hmm..the rosemary sounds odd. I don't eat pasta salads, I can't stand 'em. It's either just salad or a full on meal with salad on the side.

Btw, when I say mustard, it has to be Dijon French Mustard - nothing else. I guarantee you, mixed right, it's delicious. Not too much mustard, a fair bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, a pinch of black pepper.

Spookymuffin said:

no, I know exactly what you're talking about. I just never keep mustard around. I don't use it much. a simple balsamic dressing is my fave. A good balsamic and oil, pepper, and maybe a little brown sugar. I do like the mustard though, too.

It's 8.37 in the morning here. Ask me a bit later.

althom said:

what did you have for breakfast, althom?

CarrieMpls said:

Boiled Cancer.

CarrieMpls said:

Poridge and coffee.

Spookymuffin said:

with bacon?

althom said:

Are you goldilocks?


What exactly is poridge anyway?

CarrieMpls said:

Yeah!

CarrieMpls said:

no, just bbq sauce on the burgers, the rest just have grill marks

INSATIABLE said:

It's oats and milk, cooked, usually with something on top like brown sugar.

Spookymuffin said:

So oatmeal?

Spookymuffin said:

I can't believe they've never heard of poridge. lol

althom said:

I've heard of it. Goldilocks eats it.

But yeah, here we call it oatmeal. I think it's the same thing.

CarrieMpls said:

Japanese soba noodles topped with seared carpaccio beef...I cooked them in a simple broth made with a boullion cube, sliced scallions, sesame seeds, ginger, lemongrass, and some cilantro sprigs. It was hot today here, but then it rained, so I was craving something warm and soup-like for the rain, but still light enough to keep me from falling over in the nightime humidity.

The pasta salad thingy doesn't really sound all that bleh...especially if it was hot over by you...I crave cold, salad-y foods on hot days. I would have made a cold penne salad for dinner (penne, hearts of palm, tomatoes, mozzerella, basil), but I cooked for a friend's birthday party and overdosed myself on all things Italian for at LEAST a week. It's a pity because I'm up to NECK in friggin risotto, fritatta wedges, antipasti, and enough homemade pesto to feed an army. It might be time for me to start delivering plates to neighbors

Ottensen said:

Oh, good Lord.

althom said:

I know...it's a disgrace!

Ottensen said:

yum yum yum!!!!

When I used to cook anything vaguely asian I always used boullion as a base for sauce, but now that I'm practically veggie, I really, really need something similar but without animal product. Darnit, where's irresistibleBitch, she may know...

Chips and beer, right now.

HamsterHuey said:

Chips from the little place around the corner.

CarrieMpls said:

Oh. No.

We call them crisps chips here in Holland. Sorry for the mix-up.
