What's for Dinner, Fri., Dec. 23, 2022

[NJCher]

Roast chicken with sage and thyme. Stuffing and gravy.

Salad, tossed green with tomatoes, pepper, red onion, and cucumber.

Dessert: should I open this Junior's cheesecake I received as a gift?

I need to give 95% of it away.

I have a big pot of hibiscus tea to get me through the cold evening, not to mention one heckuva furnace that kicks out the heat when needed. Radiator heat: I love it.

1. Spicy Thai noodles, cookies for dessert if

the kiddo hasn't already finished them off.

3. Curried chicken vegetable soup from leftovers

I bought a deli chicken 2 days ago. Yesterday, I had a small dinner with family and friends. I took leftovers from dinner and the rest of the chicken and made a pot of soup. Kind of recharging my batteries before we drive for the hoop tomorrow night

It is -1 F, here, wind chill makes it feel like -16 F. I just finished giving cookie gifts

Enjoy your tea and heat!

4. What a coincidence!

We’ve returned to the Lower Catskills for the holidays and here’s our dinner for tonight:

Roast chicken with sage and thyme. Stuffing and gravy.

Salad, tossed green with tomatoes, pepper, red onion, and cucumber.

Chocolate ice cream for dessert. We haven’t had it much in months because it doesn’t last long on our boat!

[NJCher]

6. that is so funny!

Is that where the greenhouse is? If so, did a door blow open and did you have to go out in this horrendous cold and shut it?

[PJMcK]

16. Incredibly...

…some of the plants are still viable!

It feels good to be warm!

[PJMcK]

22. The Landlady's herbs and spices are still alive!

Incredibly, her parsley, rosemary and thyme were still fresh when we got home so she brought them indoors before the cold wave hit. It was -1 degrees this morning so she was probably just in thyme, (ha, ha).

[NJCher]

23. I carted 2 parsley

And six dill inside. The good news is maybe they can go back because the weather is going to be great after this weekend.

There is nothing and I mean nothing like fresh herbs for those interested in culinary pursuits, so happy to hear you still have herbs with which to cook.

My greenhouse door blew open but I caught it before it got too cold in there.

7. WOW! You're FAST, PJ!

[PJMcK]

15. Courtney has a lead foot! (n/t)

5. steak fajitas

and Mexican rice



ice cream for dessert

[irisblue]

8. Left over Juniors cheesecake?! You are telling lies Cher

grumbling grumbling

I made a ham & cheese cake, hot decafe tea, 1lump of sugàr

[NJCher]

9. It's not leftover

It's a brand new cheesecake that was shipped to me. It has been sitting in its original box, sealed, in my refrig for a week! I have to find people to give it away to because I'm supposed to be watching my glycemic levels, according to my doc.

If I leave it unopened, I can maybe take it to the food bank?

21. Is there a neighbor who has a lot of family over for Christmas

or goes to a big family gathering?

Let them have it, surely there is someone who can take it off your hands.

[elleng]

11. Baked sweet potato

(helps warm the house!) and 1/3 ham/cheese croissant sandwich.

[stevil]

12. Chicken Vesuvio

I added some asparagus to it as well.

[Retrograde]

13. Fried rice

need to use up the rest of the leftovers from Chinese takeout earlier this week - I keep forgetting that the place has larger than usual portions

[littlewolf]

14. didn't know what to make so

went with the standard backup

rotini with meat sauce
salad
home made fudge

got the water heater covered in insulated blanket
got the outside spigots covered

we are as buttoned up as can get

buckle up kids could be a wild ride

wind is really wailing here ...
sppose to drop into the 20 here ..

[mike_c]

19. stay warm and safe!

K and I did pasta with meat sauce last night. It just never gets old!

[mike_c]

18. I stir fried some pork and cabbage with zha cai and doubanjiang

Kind of like twice cooked pork but only cooked once, lol. Served with jasmine rice and a chef salad. I baked almond poppy seed bread for dessert, with tea or chai for me. Ms K usually avoids caffeine after mid-afternoon. She'll probably have some herbal tea.

20. round 2 of the 15 bean soup. Better tonight than last night

Also I never made the cornbread because I was all wrapped up in baking a bourbon cake and as I was putting it in the oven, I realized I would not be able to bake the cornbread.

So tonight we had the cornbread. It was really good; nice and crunchy on the bottom, just like my mom used to make.
