Cooked celery bothers me. Cold celery DOUSED in hot wing sauce is pretty much the greatest snack food ever. I could eat it all day. Try it that way-of course, you're really just eating a lot of wing sauce over solidified water...but hey, it gets you to eat your greens, right?

I planned on making spaghetti this evening. Such an easy meal!

I'm having the taco burgers I never got around to making last night.

I have a formal dinner tonight

Well, scratch the soup for lunch. My better half wanted Taco Bell, so delicious steak cantina bowl for me

Gnocci in a sage butter sauce.

I despise that Cantina grill menu. It looks like Chipolte or Qdoba for half the price, but it's a lie! and that weird dressing does not belong on Mexican food!

ahh well there is the problem, you are under the mistaken idea that Taco Bell is Mexican food.

This is true, but even imitation does not deserve this treatment.

Had fish & chips last night.

Looks like it might be "what ever you can find because i can't be bothered cooking" tonight too. These are my favourite dinners.

It's D&D night with my buddies, so that means pizza! Probably a $5 sausage pizza from Little Caesars

5 Hours in a heavy wool suit, shiney shoes and a bow tie isn't my idea of fun.

On the bright side, normally you get good food when you dress up.

I've always liked dressing up, whether it's in my military uniform or my suit. Nothing quite like looking good and knowing it.

I can't do the whole getting dolled up thing. It doesn't sit right with me. Clean jeans and a nice (non band) related t-shirt is about the best i can do formal wise.

I had chicken vindaloo made by my own fairhand last night (and tonight). It wasn't as good as it usually is though and I'm not sure why.

Last night we went out for sushi for The Boy's birthday. Tonight will be pasta with white sauce, one of his other favorites. Desert is a buttermilk chocolate cake shaped like a 2x2 LEGO brick. Frosting is not as smooth as I'd hoped, but that's what I get for using stuff that tastes good, rather then looks good.

Yeah I know its not authentic but I do like all the veggies in it , especially for fast food. I first tried in on the long roadtrip after watching the College Football Championship in Florida in January and it was the only thing on the menu that appealed to me.

Last night was grilled corn salad, washed down with two gimlets and then followed by a monster headache from lack of caffeine So I'm now on cup of coffee number 2 "D

Chicken tikka masala tonight - home made, apart from the naan bread.

Gonna have some good sausage rolls tonight, after moving the furniture around and doing general cleaning, all ready for the Easter roast lamb leg tomorrow Such finesse!

We're getting Mexican tonight

Ok, I have to ask, what is a sausage roll to you? To me, I think of sausages, preferably grilled, with sautéed peppers and onions, on a hogie/sub/grinder roll. Some sort of red pizza type sauce is acceptable, but not required. Baked beans would make a good side dish, but I'd never put them on the roll itself.

Now I'm a big fan of most things both sausage and roll, so if there is something out there I'm unaware of, please educate me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sausage_roll

The basic composition of a sausage roll is generally a sheet or sheets of puff pastry formed into tubes around sausage meat and glazed with egg or milk before being baked.[1][2] They can be served either hot or cold.

This is a sausage roll in its natural state;


This is one covered with baked beans;

tonight was breakfast for dinner, so a couple fried eggs and some toast with jelly

Tonight, I had kabob massallam, and pulao. so good.

Easter dinner with my grandparents today. Not sure what's cooking but grandma always sets a fantastic table. Usually with some excellent traditional German cooking.

Savta makes pot roast and mashed potatoes for Passover, turkey and stuffing, cranberry sauce, and always plenty of chicken soup.

Mmmm traditional German cooking. I know where i'm going for dinner.


Had chicken and potato stew with freshly made bread tonight. Spilt half of my first bowl on the floor though and the dogs got it before i could recover anything... Luckily mum always makes tons of it.

We'll be doing ham and mashed potatoes and whatnot. It will be pretty standard Easter food, really.

This weekend was spent visiting the family a couple hours away and Friday night was homemade pizza, with olive oil and garlic as the sauce, fresh, top quality mozzarella and broccoli sauteed with garlic and red pepper. Best pizza I've ever had. Dad is a phenomenal cook.
Last night was a Thai red curry dish (they liked what they saw when I made it last week) and we just added stuff (still very delicious).
Tonight will be a roast pork tenderloin with garlic and herbs rolled up into it, served with red mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts. I'm certainly lucky this weekend.

Dining with my folks tonight, and my Mother's steak pie is one of my favourite meals.

Last night's Chicken Tikka Masala (Gordon Ramsay recipe) went well. I omitted the star anise, and next time I'll reduce the brown sugar content from 1 tbs to a teaspoon's worth, throw in a cardamom pod or two and see where that gets me. The original recipe was highly recommendable though, I simply tend to prefer savoury over sweet.

Yeah probably the same here, with the added pleasure of gluten being allowed at the table, since my mother and sister are out of town this weekend.

I don't know what gluten is, but apparently it's delicious!

There is such a thing as standard easter food?

Corpses, Ham is traditional in most of the United States as far as I know, in the Irish community it's time for corned beef and cabbage!

Oddly in Ireland its ham. ham seems to be for every occasion on Ireland.

Growing up when my mom still cooked constantly corned beef was the meal to make for the spring time holidays, every other holiday was usually a turkey, with a ham sometimes subbing in at christmas. Turns out I'm like the only person in my family who enjoys ham. Which is lame because ham is delicious.

Cor, that roast lamb was something else..... along with the lamb gravy too..... I could eat it all over again!

Since it's in the low 60's today, I do believe I'll be grilling some brats and rosemary potatoes. The best part of spring/summer is the amount of grilling/barbequing I do

In my house it was always lamb for Easter, maybe we didn't get the memo

Turned out it was turkey! Yummy meal in all.

We had shrimp and lobster ravioli, garlic bread and some corn and bean salad.

Also trying cookie recipe #5 for the wedding reception

Me and the lady went to Atlantic City last night so I could throw away $200. But we hit the buffet so my Easter dinner consisted of prime rib, ham, roast turkey, fried chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, fried shrinps, some unknown fish with a creamy gravy on top, and mac & cheese!

Yeah, we were hungry.

Ooof. I don't even want to talk about ham. I have roughly two pounds my parents made me take after Easter this year.

I was a fat kid and went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Blues/Wild game tonight. And heck yeah, Blues won 4-1
