I made sausage and peppers last night in a light tomato sauce.

Then at the last minute, I threw in a box of frozen green peas and mixed the peas and tomato sauce with some freshly steamed white rice.

Not quite a risotto, because with risotto you actually cook Arborio rice in the liquid (wine, broth, sauce, etc). It was more like an Italian version of paella, I guess. Whatever you want to call it, we were licking the plates because it was delicious.

Tangleguts?

I made comfort foods tonight - meatloaf, macaroni and cheese and green beans. My daughter paid me the ultimate compliment - "This mac and cheese is even better than Kraft from the box!"

Or is it cheese and macaroni?

Chicken tagliatelle last night.

Tonight is bangers and mash with lovely onion gravy

Bangers and Mash?? Yum.

We're having lamb chops. However, I only have 12 and my daughter just informed me that her boyfriend is joining us. We need 12 just for him!

One of my favs! (My mom's, too)

Too bad we missed it.

They were damn good, too! I marinated them in soy sauce, sherry and rosemary. We grilled them and they were so delicious.

Only 12 lamb chops?

I take it he is not a big eater?

Ha ha! He just turned 20 in December, eats with us about five days a week, and he's getting rather expensive to have around. When they saw the teeny, tiny lamb chops, they went out for Chinese last night. It was either that or I would have had to go back to the store.

The good news is that before they did, he went to the local hardware store, bought what was needed and fixed the upstairs toilet. He earns his meals.

All *I* do is check the chlorine and Ph levels... skim and vacuum the pool, and look continuously hot in my banana hammock while serving drinks. K, sure, one little screwup and I'm not invited back!

That shows what YOU know. We don't HAVE chlorine. It's a salt water pool!

And you should know by now that the Welcome Mat is always out for you. ESPECIALLY when the banana hammock is on the scene!

We are having a Thai salmon stir fry tonight. Whatever that is?

I do know we have a cheeky little Australian Chardonnay to go with it

I do enjoy a cheeky wine!!

My daughter and I made meatballs and gravy (sauce to some) Sunday night for dinner. We have some leftover, so I yesterday I picked up some chicken cutlets and mozzarella. We'll have a nice chicken parm dinner with some spaghetti on the side.

My youngest daughter got her braces off yesterday, and she requested a big steak for dinner and a candy apple for dessert. Polished it all off, too!

Good for her Babe.

Jennifer,my eldest,currently has a brace on. Will do for at least another 6 months but it will straighten out her twisty fangs so she isn't complaining.....

Much

It's been just over three years from when she started. She still has a retainer, but at least she can take that off when she's eating. And that painful tightening is over!

I think Jen is still going through the tightening stage. She twists her face so much however at everything in general it is hard to tell

That's the age, Yogi. Expect it to end in another 6 years or so.

I had braces in Jr. High School. The worst 3 years of my life.

Meat loaf, mashed potatoes, corn and green beans tonight. Comfort food.

We went to Pizza Hut last night. We were at the movies to see SHERLOCK HOLMES and the Pizza Hut is right next door. We only had an hour or so, so we had their special deal. A starter,a main and one drink for only £7 each. Sounds great eh? Think again. The starters were awful. For the mains they had run out of pizzas????? how does PIZZA HUT run out of pizzas My wife had lasagne which was cold and had to go back. I had chicken arriabata which was fairly awful. The mains were bought out whilst we were still eating our starters and when we ssked for the bill it took them forever to bring it. It was only when we stood up and started to walk out that a minion produced the bill. I flung the money at him and exited. My wife flung some abuse at him and exited

The worst service i have ever experienced....

The movie was good though....and the nachos and popcorn were deeeeelishus

Oh, macaroni cheese tonight by the way. Home made and lovely. Just the way i like it

So how was dinner, Yogi?

Tonights dinner not quite ready PB. We have to wait for all the kids to come in from various after school clubs.

Last nights i don't even want to talk about

Yogi... OMG... Pizza Hut??? Can't you get any better pizza there than that?? Aweful. lol

Yes we can get better pizza here than from the Hut....

Yes the Hut is crap

Swedish Meatballs

I like Swedish meatballs but have never made them. As a matter of fact, it's been a very long time since I've had them. Sounds good!


TIS

Not Pizza Hut for sure...Thanks, Yogi!

Speaking of "pizza"... Not tonight, but a couple weeks ago, went to Chuck E Cheese for the first time. Wow, So NOT impressed! But it's not about the food there, it's about the kiddies and their enjoyment -- so 4.5 stars!
