What's on the menu this evening?

[krystl]

Do you mean with whats for dinner tonight? Because we aren't putting them on skewers tonight.

And to get them to stay on the skewers takes much skill and practice

Don't mind me. I know you said you weren't putting them on sticks.

You're too cute Karen

My son had leftover sloppy joes and I'm having chips and salsa.

I think it's been like 30 years since I've had a sloppy Joe. I've kept thinking about those, but never actually went to the store and got the stuff.

I should just make this over the weekend. That and a bunch of other stuff I've been putting on the back burner.

The last time I had a Sloppy Joe was in my high school cafeteria and 30 plus years later it's still repeating on me.

I made meatloaf last night. Instead of breadcrumbs I used cheddar cheese goldfish.

I think the HS cafeteria is about it. Now I see that they use green peppers and stuff. Some people add more ingredients than necessary. I say that ground round + onions and spices are fine. Mebbe some gravy or summin'. Wot-evah.

Really easy...once again, I use a packet mix for sloppy joes. Ground beef, browned, then drain the fat and add the packet mix and a small can of tomato paste and some water. Cook for like 10 minutes and serve on hamburger rolls.

My kids love them and I enjoy them too.

Tonight we're going to a Japanese Hibachi place for Nick's birthday. Yum.

[Dave Visbeck]

I think tri-tip.

[4bronxbombers]

I have my friend's son staying over (I owed her ) so I think I'm taking the 4 kids out to eat. I might try that Red Robin place or the Cheesecake Factory. Except.........3 boys. yikes. They better behave or I'm gonna smack all of them.

Red Robin might be the better choice. Or some place that has video games or something.

Why is Red Robin more conducive for kids?

I haven't been there, but I think it sounds like a more family/kid friendly place. Maybe I'm wrong?

I haven't been to Red Robin before and I've only been to the Cheesecake Factory once. Idk....we'll see. The Cheesecake factor is only 4 blocks away. I figured we could walk.

[4bronxbombers]

I wish there was a Japanese Habachi place around. I love going there.

There's 2 places within 3-4miles of here. We like one better than the other. We don't go too often because it's not cheap, but we usually go for birthdays because it's a treat.

I think Red Robin is burgers and stuff, right? I think I remember looking at their website the last time you mentioned it because we don't have any around here.

You should take them to Macaroni Grill if you have one nearby. They can color on the tablecloths.

[JDPNYY]

Really? How did it taste?

Quite good.

[LDG]

I'm taking the kids to see Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie tonight so we'll grab dinner somewhere in New Haven. Daughter is lobbying for Anna Liffey's (the oldest Irish pub in the city) and the son is looking for Wooster street pizza. Mom has no idea who's going to win that battle yet.

[krystl]

Quite good.

Was it a recipe or did you just wing it?

[JDPNYY]

Was it a recipe or did you just wing it?

It was a regular old recipe for meatloaf. I just substituted the goldfish for the bread crumbs.

There was one down the road and it closed. Of course I never used the gift card either.

I have a gift card for there too but the closest one is in Jersey. It's good for a few other places too though. Chili's is one of them.
