What Did You Have For Dinner Last Night?

^^^ I hope you feel better by the hour.

Last night I made rosemary roasted pork loin with a port wine fig sauce, wild rice and broccolini. That sauce was pretty slammin'.

 

Peppermint candy ice cream and sugared strawberries and a Sangria Fizz.

 

^ Really? YUM!

I had pizza. I got away with not cooking at all this weekend. It was awesome!

 

Pizza from Old Chicago

 

They're probably not. They may just have purchased a warehouse full of them in 1993 and have to use them up.

 

Not haggis, that's for sure.

That's good to hear.

 

An elk steak, sided by penne and sauce.

 

I mentioned this little anecdote to a friend today and she suggested that it probably had nothing to do with cost-cutting at all, but rather to reduce the risk of lawsuits from peanut allergies. She heard somewhere that the allergens can get into the air and recirculate with the enclosed cabin space and a/c in a plane, potentially causing a reaction in people with nut allergies even if they don't actually eat them themselves.

*shrug* I guess that's plausible.

 

A fantastic, hearty, beef and barley stew that I made in my slow-cooker on Sunday--I had the leftovers tonight. I'll post the recipe here if anyone's interested, or just PM me for it.

 

Soup and sandwich.

 

^sounds great right about now!

Green Bean casserole and a salad - green night at our house - meat free. Not as much fun as it sounds . . .

 

Something that the cafeteria claimed was chicken.

 

Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy.

 

BBQ Sandwiches & Potato Salad.

 

A pizza.

 

The same thing I have every Tuesday night Pinky, a pizza!

 

We had chicken wraps, and cinnamon muffins for dessert.

 

Boneless pork rib TV dinner. I understand that the cafeteria won't always have something I can eat (wheat allergy), but having to skip over half of the meals that I have to pay out the ass for ahead of time is getting a tad old.

 

Blackened sword fish with mango salsa. We had a couple of freakishly warm days here, and I'd picked up a fresh mango, so figured I'd take advantage of both and fire up the grill. Did grilled salmon with tzatziki (left over from the souvlaki last week) the night before. We're sort of in a fish mode this week.

 

Roast beast. Tomorrow I'll make the best damn stew anyone ever tasted with the leftover. YUM!
