i was going to make chicken something but it is still frozen and hubby has school at 3:30 so thats out

i was going to make this pizza casserole thing at first but everything is frozen for that too but maybe I will make that for when he gets home from school.. we will see

ok we had grilled ham and cheese and some leftover mac and cheese from yesterday.. holy cheese overload hubby only ate his grilled cheese though....

tonight I a think I am going to make that pizza casserole.. It is a new recipe but it looks good...

Delicious Ground Beef Pizza Casserole

# 1 lb lean ground beef
# 1 large onion, chopped
# 1 medium green pepper, chopped
# 1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
# salt or seasoning salt and pepper
# 3-4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
# 1 lb pepperoni, divided
# 1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushroom, drained
# 4 cups pasta sauce
# 3-4 cups rigatoni pasta (cooked to firm-tender and drained, do not overcook the pasta)
# 4 cups mozzarella cheese, divided
Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.

Cook the gound beef in a medium skillet with the onions, green peppers, garlic, salt pepper until meat is browned and veggies are tender; drain fat, and mix in the Parmesan cheese.

Stir in the 1/2-pound pepperoni (chop this pepperoni to add to the mixture, leave the remaining half pound pepperoni sliced), mushrooms, pasta sauce; stir well until combined; simmer for 20-25 minutes on top of stove.

Set oven to 350 degrees.

Place the cooked rigatoni pasta on the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Sprinkle with 2 cups mozzarella cheese over the pasta.

Layer with pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.

Top with the ground beef/pasta sauce mixture.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

Remove from oven, sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups mozzarella cheese.

Return to oven and bake for 10 minutes longer, or until bubbly.

Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.

OMG, that sounds good. I am STARVING.

I think I am going to mix the sauce and pasta together or put the sauce on top of the pasta and then the pepperoni and cheese... if you put the pasta and then the pepperoni and cheese and then the sauce the pasta doesn't really get the sauce.... hmmmm

I am making Chicken Hurry tonight... one of my favourites...

1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1 package onion soup mix

mix all together and pur over about 2 pounds of chicken parts...

I thawed some sirloin chunks that I'd cut up to make shiskebabs before I knew that my husband was working late tonight. So I guess I'll make that anyway, even though he doesn't like a real meal when he wanders in at 11:00pm. I/we'll have that with rice.

Krikit.... i am coming tonigh at 7 pm !
(lol your post sound good way too often)


There is what is watching your cat

lmao ! excellent

Well, we are actually going to make/eat dinner in tonight, for the first time since Nebraska - well even then we didn't do any of the cooking!

Anyhoo, I still remember how to cook, just having garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus and steak

Yum!

Don't tell Melusine, though. She'll invite herself over.

I have soooo much learning to do in my cooking skills.... you have no idea how bad it is !

Hubby bought Lunchables - mini burgers and mini hot dogs - in an attempt to recreate Krystals at home. The Lunchables are honestly the cutest things imaginable ... but teeny tiny since they are made for 5 year olds. My pregnant belly will need a little more food, so hubby is cooking regular burgers too!

Big bowl of oatmeal.

That sounds good!

It's filling and with some sweetener and fruit, it's pretty tasty.

What?!!! Give yourself a shake, woman! You are FRENCH! You cannot know how to cook! Oh, the shame.

Well, last night I got carried away at the Walmart (hey.... it was virtually empty of trailer park types so I took advantage) and didn't get back in time to make shiskebabs. Instead we had chicken wings and french fries. Total copout.

Tonight we will have shiskebabs with rice.

I love Chicken Hurry. Tonight is going to be a roast cooked in the rotissirie and rice I think, perhaps some stir fry veggies.

Mel was teaching last night so me and my stepson had grilled cheese and tomato soup. Mel had some leftover chicken taco's when he got in.

I am on my own tonight- Mel is teaching again and my stepson is with his mom. I think I will just make some tuna salad for sandwiches and leave some tuna for Mel when he comes home.

Yay for grilled cheese! We had one for lunch yesterday.

So we sat down to eat our steak last night and about 5 mins later the guy shows up with a dryer (the one in the place we are renting wasn't working). So my Husband nicely stands there and I go in to the bedroom and finish eating.

Tonight, not sure, maybe pork chops andddd beans!

Sheesh. That's always the way, isn't it?

We had grilled cheese and tomato soup on Monday night! (Another late night for hubby.)

OMG. I'm suddenly starving.

campbell soup
even though it's so hot here

I just don't feel like cooking yet =)

so I am not the only one who has had Chicken Hurry?? my mom found the recipe in a book years ago.... I love it....


hey Stacey, did you try that chicken recipe...??

We're taking out the parents' brigade to Shalimar restaurant in the University District. I love that place.
Mango lassi, anyone????

me me me!!!!

Mmmmmm Indian. I'd like to find a decent Indian restaurant around here.

Oh wait. I take that back! I'd like to change it to .....

Damn you, going out for Indian! What's wrong with you? Why can't you eat at Cracker Barrel like the rest of us losers?!!!

(Just trying to inject some hostility in this thread. The lunch thread got there in only one short page. And yet here we are at Page 79 and not one peep. )

I miss not knowing where the good indian restaurants are here..
IT'S EMBARRASSING CUZ I'M INDIAN!

Shame!

And good on you krikit for bringing some of the hostility from the lunch thread to the dinner thread. Hey, what if we eat at a buffet, should we have a buffet thread?

I was thinking of making pork chops, but after having the super duper fried piece of chicken from Albertsons, I'm not really hungry. There is an Indian restaurant around the corner from here, will have to check that out, also a Thai restaurant.

I know! I asked our next-door neighbour (who is Indian) where a good Indian restaurant was and he didn't know! (And he owns a freaking hotel, too! ) So then I asked him where an Indian grocer was and he told me. I went there and it was total CRAP. I was so bummed.


OMG!!!

You have no idea how loud I just laughed!

I know of a good international grocery so far so that makes me happy...

all the indian restaurants I have to try =)

First, I feel personally attacked by you and will report you --- or perhaps open a poll about your bowel movements
Second, I will most certainly NOT THANK YOU for your rudeness and absolutely uncalled for comment ()
Third.... darnit, I need to hang out more often in Off Topic. I just cannot be as mean as they are

Thanks Krikit

Liz, I promise to have the mango lassi in your honour.

I saw that poll! But I didn't dare venture in.

Alright.. in celebration of today's discussion,
I just wanted to report that I have officially commenced cooking an Indian Meal

What's on the Menu?
so far Bombay Chicken Biryani

Ohhh I just discovered this thread! It's so nice and friendly in here!

It's kind of like walking around in a busy mall on a Saturday, lots of people and kids screaming and running around (clearly that is OT) and you just walk into a department store to get away from the traffic, and suddenly you can hear the easy listening music play and people are relaxed and friendly and the air smells good and it's all very lovely.

Finally, someone who has described us perfectly

(p.s. don't venture in to the lunch thread)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm *drool*


Oh, isn't she sweet? Let's keep her.

Don't venture into the What's For Lunch thread.


Ohmygod, we just said the same thing at the same time!

I checked the lunch thread, but I don't feel desillusioned

I'll just stay here and enjoy the nice atmosphere

I am just eating marshmellows for dinner by the way. Or rather a "before bed" snack, since I had cereal earlier

Rock on! Do you do cheesecake for breakfast like me?

Yes...or even better chocolate cake...the bread like texture leaves the impression that it could be bread and therefor totally suitable for brekkie!

The other day I had guacamole for breakfast. That was really good too - maybe the onion breath was not so much appreciated in the office at 9am, but it was really yum.

Yeah. *ahem* I think I draw the line at guacamole.

It was PMS related guacamole cravings.

FINE. Since my aggression was not returned in an equally devious manner (you amateurs ), here goes my contribution for tonights' Indian dinner chez Liz.

Spiced Rice according to Len

4 cups'o H2O
2 cups brown basmati rice
3 cinnamon sticks
5 green cardamom pods
cloves to taste
cayenne
cumin
garam masala
vegetable oil (say 1 spoonful)
mustard seeds (a bunch)
curry powder

OK. Now boil the water blah blah blah. while water is boiling, heat the oil and add mustard seeds til they pop pop pop. Then add all other spices to oil and stir (ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO SHAKE YOUR OWN BOOTY WHILE ADDING SPICES) to a nice rhythm. when water boils, add rice and spice mixture. Low heat yada yada yada. Voila.

Sh1t. I forgot Chicken Biryani has spiced rice as part of the recipe
oh well, never mindddddd

I had panzerotti and pasta salad at Pizza Delight tonight.

OHHHHH NICE!!! I think I'm going to try that recipe, Leni. Thank you! (But I totally don't get the reference to Chicken Biryani. )

phew..
I am hot!

IT's tough to get this whole indian feast going in the kitchen when there's just a fan cooling the living room

We have the chicken biryani and chana masala on the stove!

TOTALLY EXCITED FOR DINNER ALONE NOW!

WHATEVER . you don't have to thank me, you know....
And if you ever call me Leni again, I'll unleash a hungry Mumsie on you
