What's for Dinner, Thurs., Nov. 17, 2022

[NJCher]

It is raw, windy, and cold here, so an appetizer of soup is in order. Carrot-kohlrabi-Savoy cabbage creamed soup.

I'm serving this with olive hummus on wheat crackers and pretzel thins.

Main dish is flounder in orange sauce. I'm making the orange sauce with fresh oranges. Herbs sprinkled over the top; probably parsley.

Superberry kombucha.

Dessert: Apple slices and goat's milk Brie.

Later on tonight, probably during 11th Hour, a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows.

1. Fried cod sandwiches on whole wheat buns

Lettuce leaves and tartar sauce (that I made)

Pierogi cooked with onions

Side salad (romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion)

I won’t have dessert but we have fudge bars in the freezer for the guys.

2. Rib eyes on the Foreman and salad or light pasta dish undecided.

3. OBX burgers

We’re in Nags Head, NC and we’re meeting a colleague of the First Mate’s for burgers at a local joint. Here’s how they describe themselves:

Food Dudes Kitchen is a mellow eatery with a surf-shack vibe on Mile Post 9 in Kill Devil Hills, NC. Established in 2008, Food Dudes prides itself with the freshest ingredients and local seafood for their Carribean and Mexican inspired dishes offered on the Outer Banks.

I’ll probably have their Black and Blue burger with blue cheese, carmalized onions, lettuce, tomato and fries but they also serve crab cakes so I’m still not sure…

The friend was the Stage Manager for a summer tourist production in Mateo called The Lost Colony about the first intended-to-last English colony in the new world (1584). The colonists disappeared, hence the musical. It has a cast of 100 with songs, dances, dialog and multi-media elements. It’s quite extravagant!

4. Sounds good!

Glad you made it there!

[PJMcK]

10. How're you, elleng?

We enjoyed our visit with you on Solomon’s Island.

Your photos of the river are always beautiful!

[elleng]

11. Fine, PJ. Getting COLD!

Ham'n cheese tonight.

Was great to meet you 2, and now to 'follow' you!

[PJMcK]

13. The Reedville fish factory article you posted made us laugh!

Since we had anchored there before we knew the fish factory was there.

There’s also a small airport there and when the planes took off at 6:00 am we were a bit startled!

Still, it was a pretty and safe anchorage.

[elleng]

14. I didn't laugh, re: stinky fish; gotta follow up.

[PJMcK]

15. We'll, the subject of the article was serious

The over-fishing of the menhaden species is a proper concern and the Bay fisherman have a legitimate issue with the open ocean rules.

We were only amused because we had unknowingly been right next to the factory and their fishing ships. It took about 5-6 miles to shake the smell of stinky fish!

[elleng]

16. It is a serious issue. HOPING enough fish around to feed 'my' osprey,

spring-23 hence, and rockfish for all of us!

WOW, 5-6 stinky miles!

[PJMcK]

18. The smell curled our eyebrows!

Have a good evening, dear friend.

[Bird Lady]

20. two years in a row...Without babies!

This is unfair punishment! Come on Salmon, you need to come on and comeback to us!

[elleng]

21. Sad!

[hippywife]

5. Finishing off the bbq pork tonight

with tots and peas. Had baked whole sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with it last night.

Sorry weather's being ugly up your way. Was in the 20s here in the southern plains last night and most of the morning. I was so cold when I got out from under the blankets, I had to put on two layers of clothes. Not going to be better tonight or tomorrow, either. I just really can't take winter anymore.

Making more dark chocolate edibles tonight. This time blueberry flavored. Last week was raspberry.

6. mini pizza. yougert and meds . along w milk.

[MissMillie]

7. Soup and sandwiches

Homemade chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Cold day calls for soup.


Cold day doesn't prevent us from eating strawberry ice cream for dessert.

[phoenix75]

8. vegetarian chili, crackers, green tea

[elleng]

9. Pre-Thanksgiving Honey-Baked Ham (and Swiss cheese)

12. Low carb boneless pork chop recipe cooked in bacon grease (like my Grandma did) with

salt, pepper, and garlic. I made gravy with almond flour and cream (lower carb than milk)...turned out great. I had asparagus on the side. We are doing low carb to help with inflammation and to lose weight...mostly the pain thing. I have some arthritis in my left knee and a shoulder injury...can only take Tylenol because I am on blood thinners for the A-Fib gifted to me from Covid and hubs has progressive poly-neuropathy...causes pain in the legs and hands...the diet has worked pretty well. He has pain meds as well. And we have a medical card for marijuana.

17. classic Buffalo wings, fried potatoes, and green salad

[chowmama]

19. Soft shell tacos

Chorizo sausage from the freezer, refried beans, fried onion, cheddar and salsa verde (tomatillo chili) from the pantry.

I'm considering mixing the rest of the salsa jar with a jar of potato leek soup to make a Mexican potato soup in a couple days. It sounds edible, should work. Grilled cheese sandwiches should use up the rest of the cheddar.

Thanksgiving pay period, I plan at least a week of meals straight out of the pantry to save the budget for the big blowout. However, DH couldn't care less about most of the holiday meal as long as there's a big vat of stuffing. And gravy. The turkey is almost an afterthought, just the container the stuffing came in.
