What's For Dinner?

[Krikit 1,163]

I think they have a Pollo Tropical at the Seminole Mall? We drove by there a few weeks ago and I said to Mike ohhh that is the place that krikit said is good!

We didn't stop to eat of course as it was too hot

Yes! Well, almost. It's in the same area as the Seminole Town Center.... the next street over in the World Market plaza. It's a nice one. Their Caribbean fajitas are awesome. That's what I'm having. Actually, that's probably what both of us will have. You get an awful lot and I can't eat all of that. Unless he orders his own stuff, then he can have my leftovers for his lunch tomorrow. lol

dinner tonight is anybody's guess... I don't feel like making anything.. I just spent the last hour and half or so hobbling around at the laundromat

i am leaning towards mac and cheese but not sure what to serve with it.. hubby will want some kind of meat... oh, maybe those chicken finger things... yeah that might work oooh, and I just bought some Italian bread crumbs last week, so i don't have to fuss around making my own.. yeah that's it... mac and cheese and chicken fingers...

thanks guys

You're welcome Marilyn! What a funny posting. It was almost like you were here! Here, as in in my house.

Quiche was good last night. Sent leftovers with Gene for lunch. No idea what we're having tonight.

i totally had no idea what I was going to make for dinner when I first started typing that...

we had the mac and cheese and chicken fingers.. and some steamed peas... mmm, it was yummy... I prefer that kind of meal to a 5 star fancy meal

Last night we had crunchy pea salad, smoked sausage, and garlic cheese sauced pasta shells. Tonight I might get something from Costco to heat up. Maybe pizza? We're going away tomorrow for a few days, so I don't want leftovers in my fridge for all that time, and we'll be eating out on our outting, so don't want to eat out tonight. I dunno, I'll figure something out!

What puts the crunch in a crunchy pea salad?

I don't actually like peas - well that's not true, I like fresh peas - not canned or frozen or cooked

Pea salad is one of my Moms absolute favorite dishes.

The steak and rice for dinner last night was just awful, took the wrong steak out

Heres one Marilyn its got mexican, cheese, and easy as opening cans. Ill have ya all eating mexican yet

Mexi "CAN" casserole

Brown 1 to 2 pounds of ground beef in a deep skillet. Salt and pepper to taste and if you like onion in your receipe add onion at this time also. Drain thoroughly then add:

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 can Cream of Chicken Soup

1 can Mild Enchilada Sauce

1 small can chopped green chillies

1 can Milnot

Mix well and bring to a simmer . . . . .

Add:

11/2 pounds of velveeta cubed for easy melting.

Bring back to a simmer . . . .

Prepare a 9 X 13 baking dish by placing broken Dorito=s (or your favorite brand) chips in the bottom of the dish. Pour the above mixture on the broken chips. Top with a nice layer of chips on top and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 until cheese on top is melted and all is bubbly.

Note: This can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. If you are going to do so - wait to put the last layer of chips and cheese on until you have heated the casserole thoroughly in the oven at 350. From the fridge it usually needs to bake about 45 minutes, then add chips and cheese and bake another 15 minutes. Just make sure its heated through out

Okay, what is pea salad?

Just as I'd predicted, we ate at Pollo Tropical last night and had the chicken fajitas. Yummy. I'm not too sure what we're having this evening. Something quick and easy because we are heading straight out as soon as my husband gets home. I'm thinking hotdogs and mac and cheese? Or maybe baked ravioli and caesar salad. I dunno.

I had to google Milnot. Yeah.... don't think I'll be making that.

[Marilyn. 340]

that recipe looks interesting.. not sure if I will try it though... lol

Milnot is a canned evaporated milk ha awwwww try it u might like it pea salad to us (in Okla) is canned peas, boiled eggs, small chunks of cheese, onions if u perfer blended with mayo, kept cold

[brnidokiegurl 0]

here at work the girls make similar to this

PEA SALAD - FIFTIES PEA SALAD

Serves 3 or 4

2 cups of canned peas, drained, or thawed frozen peas

3 to 4 tablespoons finely minced onion

3 or 4 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 to 2 teaspoons sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1/4 to 1/2 cup grated Cheddar* or Cheddar in tiny cubes

Thawed frozen peas will taste better than the canned peas, but then almost anything tastes better than canned peas.

You do not need to cook the frozen peas; they will taste better if you don't. Believe me.

Mix sugar and milk into the mayonnaise.

Stir in the minced onion, thereby permeating the mayonnaise with those delicious onion juices.

Mix the mayonnaise with the peas, stir in the cheese, and serve.

* Maxine no doubt used Velveeta, the Official Cheese of the fifties.

to me about like the creamed corn you loved you know i show the girls at work here some of your things you all eat and have to say sometimes they say whatttttttttttt but i remind them fr a different region ha

[Marilyn. 340]

how can you not like creamed corn? lol.. mmmmmm yum...

I don't really eat it a lot... when I do buy it usually use it to make corn chowder... but I sometimes grab a spoonful of it before I put it in the chowder
