We had chicken adobo last night with brussel sprouts - Bee has had a phobia of the veggies in the past, but I convinced him to try it. And he liked it!

I think tonight's dinner will be Korean shortribs from TJ's with some rice, and maybe a salad. Num num.

Oh, how do you make that Nini? I have Adobo seasoning and I don't know what to do with it.

Well I definatly won't be taking a photo of the disaster ha ha. Damn now I have to remember to boil them a bit too, good thing you mentioned that. I will be making them for dinner tomorrow night, so will have a bit more time to read up on it...

It's ridiculously simple, and the recipe looks barbaric. We have this every week though

1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
generous amount of white or black pepper
three garlic cloves
two bay leaves

2 pounds chicken thighs
15-20 brussel sprouts, cut in half

Simmer vinegar, soy sauce, pepper, garlic and bay leaves in a saucepan. Add chicken thighs and sprouts. Turn 'em over occasionally until tender. Serve with rice - make enough for leftovers!

Ta-da!

Oh come on. Disasters make for WAY better pictures!


Oh. That sounds really good. I think I'll make that one night. But where does the adobo come into it?

Change of plan! I've decided to make bacon and potato chowder instead. With buttermilk biscuits. yum

Ok, pork loin chops dipped in egg and then rolled in crushed weetabix biscuits, sauteed with grilled sweet peppers, baked sweet potatoes and broccoli.

Tonight, Joel grilled pork chops and brushed them with honey mustard sauce (honey and mustard, no mayo) and he made homemade potato salad. I've not had to cook supper since Saturday...which is the day the grill came home with us.

I'm loving it while it lasts...

he will get tired of it in time...

that is what happened here.. hubby got a BBQ and he used it a lot but now I have to beg him to use it....lol

I had two instant kraft dinners last night... hehe

not sure what i'm doing tonight
it's getting late!

I'm so excited ... I ate real food for the first time in a week (I am SOOOOO sick of soup)

Had Mexican rice mixed with ground beef (seasoned with taco seasoning), topped with cheese, salsa and a litte sour cream. Also had a salad.

Glad your tummy is feeling better autumnchik!

We had baked potato soup last night. I adore this recipe, and it's the best one I've found. After my volunteer interview yesterday, when I was in a part of the city I hadn't been before, I found this awesome bread store called Breadsmith. They had about 30 different kinds of fresh breads! I bought a multigrain, and a rustic Italian. Couldn't pass up some good homemade soup with fresh crusty bread for supper so that's what we had! Tonight? Hmmm, I dunno yet....

Here's a link to Breadsmith's. You might have a location in your area. The bread was delicious.


http://www.breadsmith.com/

Ahhh Weetabix. The versatile food. I'm eating it for breffrus right now. Weetabix..... It's not just for breakfast anymore.


Yaaaay! Glad you're feeling better, Autumn!


Ohhhh, lucky you for having a bread bakery in your area, Carla. I'm jealous.

Yay weetabix!

We had dinner last night, hmm what was it, must have been memorable - oh right, pancakes and eggs and some chicken bacon - yes it was good.

I'm thinking spaghetti for dinner tonight, I have tomatoes, peppers and onions I can use with that.

Had pancakes and bacon last night...yummy.

Tonight is Chicken boobs on a bun with BBQ sauce and fried onions I think. Maybe some salad

We have Panera breads instead of the other shop http://www.panerabread.com/....yay bread!

Breadsmith sounds wonderful ... none near me unfortunately. I love Panera, but the closest one is an hour and a half drive (seriously, Northern NH really lacks chain restaurants .... you could make a killing opening a Panera up here!).

I am leaving for Florida on Saturday, may have to find a Panera down there.

I love Panara as well. Well, it's St. Louis Bread Company here. I've gotten bread there a few times, just a wee bit more expensive. The several that are nearby don't have a lot of the breads they have listed. Maybe I don't go early enough? They have about 5 or 6 types of bread in various sizes when I'm there. But I do love their bread. It was just nice to go to some place different, that has way more types.

Autumnchik, are you going for a little R&R? Enjoy your trip!

Also...don't click on that panara link... twice I clicked on it, and couldn't figure out why it was coming up page not found. That's because the "yay" at the end was included with the link. Duh me.

I just took chicken out, I thought, time to make Mr Ho's chicken!! Not sure if I will, or maybe spaghetti with chicken.

Did you two call each other last night or something?

I have a bunch of fresh veggies I need to get rid of before we go away, so I'm going to make chicken or pork chops with... carrots and turnip with parsnip and some broccoli. I think.

I've been to Panera Breads in Buffalo and I was very impressed with it. Haven't tried their breads yet, though.

We are having red snapper something

For a person who is not overly fond of seafood - I do like red snapper!

We call each other every day!!

Crickey - where are you going?

We're heading to Denver for a week. Hubby's going on business and I'm tagging along. Which should be really interesting since I've left all my winter clothes in Ontario. Might need to do a bit of shopping while I'm there.

The house two doors down from me just went up for sale today, T! Want me to go check it out?

Yes, check it out!!

Oh I remember now, about Denver. You can always just wrap yourself up in a warm blanket and do like a bohemian look - need a back pack and a saucy hat and you are good to go.

You're right! I'll pretend I'm very artsy and hang around coffee houses with my sketchbook and beret.

Actually, there's a few houses for sale around me. (I'll try not to take that personally.) I'll go around and pick up those little information sheets from the ones that have them. The one two doors down doesn't have any. This'll give me an excuse to go to the open houses now.

Tonight is up in the air. I was planning on making thai chicken curry, but forgot to defrost the chicken breasts that are buried in the freezer. They won't thaw on time, so... I sent Bee a text message at work. His response: "restaurant?" Meaning... the local Belgian brewhouse in the neighbourhood. Mmm, cassis lambic.

We're pinching our pennies though, so I might put together a simple pasta and leave it at that.

No need for me to cook! From the timelines on VJ it looks like it will be at least another 6 months before I see my husband. I guess I have plenty of time to decide what to cook for dinner.

well, I have cooked all week so today it is good old hot dogs and those ichiban type noodles....

Its my last night as a single guy,lol So going to do homework for a bit longer, then chill with beer and Dominos pizza!!! No i wont do the play by play Pizza tracker summary this time!! lol

Yes you'll be nice and warm in your blanket while it's sunny and in the high 60's/low 70's. Of course it's supposed to get down to the ugly 40's next week so you'll definatly need it then...

Why not!?

Yes, hoping for R&R!!! My mom lives part time in St. Pete, has been wanting us to visit before the baby is due. It will be wonderful to get away from the snowy Northeast!!!

Yeah, come on, Flames. That was a hoot! And I'd just like to know.... do you get your pizza free if it's not there in 30 minutes?

Here's one, Trailmix. The only other house that had a brochure is a FSBO (for sale by owner) so it's not on MLS. I'll scan it and send it to you. If I venture out for a longer walk I'll pick up some more.


Oh, how lovely, Autumn. Have a safe trip and a wonderful vacation.

No its not free!!! I think yrs and yrs ago Domino's had a deal like that, but then something to do with speeding wasnt safe,lol Who knew?? lol

That house is so pretty crikey!

Flames have you ordered your pizza yet?

Anyway, dinner is almost ready, just have to make the spaghettini (I always use that instead of spaghetti). I fried the chicken and added yellow and green pepper, garlic and onions and spaghetti sauce.

Yes, pizza is ordered!! They used to have a deal $9.99 for a large, unlimited toppings, but it is no longer in effect!! I got a coupon for a large unlimited toppings for $12.99, BUT the code on the coupon would not work online!! So I had to call and talk to a damn human!! Robert was nice and all, but I really don't want to talk to a human,lol BUT I can still track my pizza, by going to domino's website and plugging in my phone #!! So I sit and wait!!

Isn't it, though? I want to move there now.

Found a prize for the Crazy Canucks!.... Canada "Cuisine".

Oh, I just HATE when I have to talk to humans now!

But now your virtual pizza has made me want my own pizza. I haven't had supper yet.... my husband is having to work late so I didn't make anything. And chips and dip just ain't cuttin' it.

Poor Crickey! Rogelio just left the store with my pizza!! I wish I could send u a slice, or send you Rogelio,lol

Joel is grilling again. Steaks tonight....marinated in a garlic marinade. I am about to starve! Mac n Cheese and his leftover potato salad.

*prays to the cooking gods that Joel doesn't lose interest in his new grill*

Rogelio sounds kinda nice.


No KIDDING. Think I'm gonna buy me a new grill.

Pizza is better,lol

Hmmmmmm....grilled pizza....now that sounds good! Here's my baby and his new love...."the grill"....

Awww. Just LOOK at that bright little happy face. He's got that "I got a new toy" sparkle in his eyes. I guess when that dims you're SOL.

Where is his beer?

Good point Flames. Are you sure that man's Canadian, Karen?

Good call Presidente Crikey!!

well, I had planned on having hot dogs but we ended up going to El Polo Loco instead.... we had yummy chicken with flour tortillas, cole-slaw and mac&cheese....

We are using up food in fridge since we will be out of town ... I made deviled eggs because I had a craving for them Hubby made a sort of hash brown concontion with diced potatoes, red pepper and celery. I am not a huge cooked celery fan, but it wasn't horrible (although not really good either).
