What's on the menu this evening?

[4bronxbombers]

I was glad to make dinner tonight - yesterday I had McDonald's for lunch and pizza for dinner, and I had a slice of the leftover pizza for lunch, so I ate my weekend's worth of takeout!

Hey Allybear - sometimes ya gotta go to McDoodles! Once in awhile I have to go through the drive in for a happy meal!

We had Dominos the other night.
My daughter loves Dominos, but that's not pizza to me. I'm not a big pizza fan but I'd rather have pizzeria pizza than that stuff.

I'm making a pot roast tonight. Hubby bought one for me yesterday. I love pot roast.

I'm having the same thing. I'm really looking forward to it. Pot roast is great.

It really is. It's so easy to make too. My friend couldn't figure out why her pot roast always comes out tough. I went over all the steps with her every time the conversation came up. Finally I figured out that she was adding too much water to the pot (covering the whole roast in water). In essence, she was boiling her roast. Not good.

Nice. I'm making a pot roast in the crockpot later this week...yum.

I think I'm making ravioli tonight - either that or turkey sandwiches and a corn frittata - we had quite a bit of leftover turkey from last night, so....

- I thought it was easy, too, until the first time I made it. Well, it is - I just forgot to braise the roast before the cooking ... ugh - the meat just tasted terrible. It took me a couple weeks to figure out what I did wrong. I guess I never watched my mom do that part.
I'm waiting for it to stay cold before I make a pot roast b/c ... well, I don't know why - it just seems like a cold weather meal to me. Although I really want one know b/c you are all talking about it
Enjoy your roasts!

My mom used to make pot roast in the pressure cooker. I was terrified of that thing! To this day, I have no desire to own one!

My mom used the pressure cooker for pot roast too...I never was scared of it, though. I remember the first time I heard they could explode - I was totally amazed. However, I've still never gotten one!

Yeah, the possibility of exploding always scared me, but I always thought that spinny thing was gonna fly off when it got going.

Stuffed salmon tonight

[krystl]

Well, I guess the pot roast will have to wait till tomorrow.
My son has been bugging us to take him to Chuck E. Cheese's for a long time now. We've never been there with him (I used to take my daughter when she was a toddler). So, since hubby got home a little early today, we are going to head up there in a bit so my son can get there before he's too old (as he says!)

OMG. I hate that place. You're a good mom for taking your kids there.

YUM. What are you stuffing it with?

[krystl]

Why do you think I haven't been there in like 12 years?

Make sure you bring those wipey things to wipe the germs off!

Boo! Well, pot roast, I think, tastes better the next day ;-).

I am going to make some fresh guacamole tonight. I just have to figure out what to have with it. Although, I may just have that (with tortillas, of course).

Sloppy Joes...

Bless you! That's cute that your son wants to go there before he's too old, though!

[RhodyYanksFan]

I think it's a breadcrumb/crabmeat stuffing.

[4bronxbombers]

I think it's a breadcrumb/crabmeat stuffing.

Sounds awesome. I love salmon.

[NYYfan24]

Leftover baked ziti from the weekend for the hubbie. Too bad I'm going low carb... ... I'll be eating a crustless artichoke quiche.

[RhodyYanksFan]

Me too. So healthy too.

Yeah, it would be better tomorrow, if I had cooked it. But I never did!
I will cook it tomorrow. Definitely.

Chuck E. Cheese must make all their money on the food. What a gyp.
We had 3 personal pizzas, 1 salad bar, 1 ham and cheese sandwich and 5 sodas. It came to 42 friggin dollars. Then we had to buy tokens. Well, we got 12 free with the food. But the tokens weren't as big a rip-off...everything only cost 1 token, so they lasted awhile.

At least the salad bar was all you can eat. It was pretty tasty too.

Me too. Haven't had it in awhile though.
I have some bluefish in the freezer from when my friend's hubby went fishing. He gave us 6 good sized filets and I cooked 2 fresh, 2 thawed out and have 2 left. I need to cook them soon.
