What's for Dinner ~ Friday Nov 23rd

[Lucinda]

I have no idea yet.


You? ♥

1. Anything but turkey.

2. Daughters are home from school. Whatever they want!

It's still too early. Yesterday they were saying just salad. I think that'll change.

[SoapBox]

3. Leftovers!

After we shoveled in dinner last night...we noted that we hardly made a dent in the stuff on the table.

So, we will be repeating, repeating, repeating the same dinner!

OH, but, just thought...maybe open faced, hot turkey sandwiches? Slathered in gravy?!

[Lucinda]

14. I usually do turkey, dressing and cranberry sauce sandwiches for a few days

I didn't cook this year though, so I am missing out!

17. I thought everyone was going to say that

Round 2 just as good as round 1/

4. I'm ordering Chinese food.

Probably mu shu beef and eggrolls. Today is a lazy day.

5. LOL. Good call. I'm wondering if I'll do the standard turkey, cran sauce, stuffing, gravy sandwich.

Or stuffed bell pepper - I've some rice and meatloaf, mushrooms I didn't use yesterday, that would fit the bill.

I'm leaning bell pepper.

8. I'm cooking a turkey breast on Sunday...

since I left all the leftovers at my niece's, except for what my niece-in-law took home for my nephew who had to work.

The bell pepper sounds good, but I'm a sucker for the whole turkey thing. The turkey (as well as cranberry, stuffing and gravy) are all on order, but it's not being delivered until tomorrow (I'm still not going to the grocery store), otherwise I'd be tempted to cook it today.

13. I'd kill for a can of jellied cranberry sauce right now

Bill looked at the store for me earlier and they had NONE. No fresh berries either, just cases and cases of berries in sauce.
I like the jellied on sandwiches - and since I did cook this year, I didn't have any on hand. :]

6. (aside) Have you ever had Vietnamese style egg rolls, "spring rolls"?

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. Yes, I've had them, but I much prefer good old eggrolls...

though I do like Vietnamese food. In my old neighborhood, I lived about a mile from one of Chicago's two Chinatowns -- this area also had some excellence Vietnamese restaurants.

[pinto]

10. Yeah, I'm still an egg roll fan. Spring rolls I found as an amazing side treat, though.

When I did restaurant work in the DC suburbs a co-worker and I would occasionally ride into to Arlington for a meal. He was Vietnamese. (Arlington has the 3rd largest Vietnamese population outside of Viet Nam and France.)

It was usually diner food. No menu, specials posted on a wall board, only Vietnamese and French spoken. Our host, Khan, ordered for all. The spring rolls were a gem. Thin rice flour rolls wrapped tight (like a taquito), filled with lemon grass, shrimp, some radish, scallions and citrus.

[Lucinda]

12. Sounds yummy to me!

A friend has requested Bill cook Chinese on his next day off, and I can't wait!
I do wish we had a take-out place close by, that would rock.

9. Surf & Surf & Surf

Calamari for appetizer. Then grilled steelhead and fried Walleye! And salad.

[Lucinda]

11. I sense a theme!

15. roasted chicken legs with roasted brussel sprouts

we didn't cook all the brussel sprouts last night, so i'm going to roast them with some red onion and i'll probably heat up some of the leftover mashers we have.

16. Duck tacos.

Flour tortillas, refried beans, chopped lettuce, fresh salsa cruda, and goat cheese.
