1. roast groundhog nt

[HappyMe]

3. LOL!

Well played.

2. Egg Rolls with dipping sauces, mushroom/tofu patties and a cucumber salad

But it is so cold and snowing - I should have planned soup for dinner. We live in the same county as Punxsutawney Phil - that darned groundhog better be right this year!

4. Either shrimp risotto or...

tempura/panko fried chicken. Haven't made up my mind yet.

[pinto]

5. For a start - Spicy tuna salad, cream cheese, pimento & chive tortilla "cigars".

Tortillas spread with cream cheese, fresh chives, pimento and mashed spicy tuna salad. Rolled really tight, wrapped in foil and chilled.

6. Feeling lazy so I am ordering Chinese.

BBQ pork and mu shu beef.

[pinto]

9. That's not lazy, it's a good choice. :-)

I recommend Chinese take-out over pizza delivery any day.

10. Thanks, pinto.

It was quite good. And there's enough for tomorrow night.

The thing with Chinese food (compared with pizza) is that there's great variety. When I order pizza, I like it with sausage, tomatoes and mushrooms so it's the same thing all the time. Also, this place doesn't use msg so it's relatively healthy.

7. leftover pizza

we ordered a bit much last night

8. So I told DH to go to the store and pick out whatever he wants

and I will fix it.

Could be interesting, but I would put money on the menu right now:

Lamb Chops
Potatoes
Peas

[yellerpup]

12. I could go for lamb chops.

You can run in several directions with those ingredients, it would just depend on the mood. Have a happy weekend!

[cbayer]

14. I was close - pork chops and potatoes (no peas)

Am going to oven fry the chops and make some blue cheese scalloped potatoes and a salad.

I really should do this more often. It gives him the chance to choose the menu and me a chance to experiment a bit.

Have a happy weekend yourself, yellerpup!

[yellerpup]

18. When I was still able to eat cheese

blue cheese was my favorite. Scalloped potatoes with blue cheese? I am sure I could finish the whole dish!

[cbayer]

20. It was absolutely delicious.

It was a stilton cheese from whole paycheck

[yellerpup]

21. Mmmm...stilton

I bet it was absolutely delicious. Whole paycheck is right!

[yellerpup]

11. Frozen treasure.

I found a bag of leftover tamales from last summer's party, pulled pork and yummy. I had a jar of chipotle/garlic/date salsa to spoon on top. Refried beans, chiffonade of purple leaf lettuce, showers of chopped chilantro and tostitos corn chips.

[japple]

16. Oh, the joys of having a large freezer. I love finding those surprises tucked

into a back corner. I found a bag of frozen shrimp from the coast and I can't for the life of me remember how old it is!

Your dinner sounds divine.

[yellerpup]

19. I have learned to appreciate my freezer.

I wasn't so sure when I received it as a Christmas present last year....

Good luck with those shrimp!

[htuttle]

13. Gyudon (aka Japanese Beef Bowl)

Simmered beef, onions, ginger and dashi over rice. What's not to like?

[NJCher]

15. urm....salmon salad?

LOL. Yes, I know, I have had salmon salad 3x this week, but I am still trying to get over this horrid cough.

Each time I make it, though, it's different and tonight's version is from Martha Stewart. Spinach, chopped cherry tomatoes, flaked salmon, pecans, and goat cheese. Used vinaigrette I made with fresh basil. Was so excellent.

17. DH and his friend went to a church sponsored pork and sauerkraut dinner.

I strongly dislike sauerkraut. I had a delicious pastrami on rye bread with spicy mustard sandwich.
