Dinner Tonight? (2-2-09)

Tonight was Homemade Chicken & Noodles at my sister's house. Our family's tradition is to serve them over lumpy mashed potatoes w/ corn. (I know weird... the 3-starch thing!) I also took over some coconut-lime shortbread bars made w/ the last half-pint of lime curd given to me from a friend in Cali who has several Kaffir Lime trees...
 
Cookie, when I was a kid, we use to make sloppy joes with the meat, onions and peppers and seasonings, then dump half a bottle of catsup into the mix. I still like them that way, 40 years later, lol.
 
Last night we ate at our fav chinese place. I hit up their sushi bar.
Today Im making pasta puttanesca and bruschetta with cherry tomatoes, garlic, fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil.
 
Bucatini all Puttanesca is among my wife preferred dishes.

This evening i got nothing, i ate so much at lunch... still replete
 
Just the name of it sounds so lovely! No wonder your wife loves it!!!
Of-course I have no the least idea what it is since I do not understand Italian:eek: Maybe you can elaborate and let us know, please!

Thanks, Cathy

By the way after a particularly horrible day I open 2 cans of Armour Corned Beef Hash, browned it in the iron skillet and placed eggs on top and cooked them sunny side up, served the meat and eggs along nice warm biscuits and jam! It hit the spot!:p Washed it all down with nice cold glass of milk. I drained the fat from the hash alot until I got almost all the fat gone!
 
Jon and I did not care for puttanesca sauce. Olives, capers and anchovies in the same dish are a bit salty for us.
 
I had my SLOPPY JO'S for lunch today. They really did remind me when I was a kid, I just Loved them. It brought back good memories when my Mom had 16 girls over to our house for my 7-Th Birthday Party and she made Sloppy Jo's in a crock pot for the party, then she had a tape recorder and had every girl say there name and when she came to me I said "I'm the Birthday-girl."!! You had to be there it was Cute! Cookie
 
Bucatini alla Puttanesca

Hi Cathy,

here is the recipe copy pasted from my book. I have attached the picture too.

Bucatini alla Puttanesca

Ingredients:
Bucatini 1 Pack (500g)
Extra virgin Olive Oil 4 tbsp
Garlic 1 Clove
Peeled Tomato 1 Can (500g)
Olives 100g - ¼ lb
Salt dried Capers 25g – 1 Oz
Anchovies oil preserved 2
Chili pepper
If I miss Bucatini?
I use Linguine or Spaghetti


Preparation
Wash the capers carefully in order to get rid of all the salt grains.
Chop the Olives, crack the garlic, take a frying pan and warm it on the stove. Pour in the Olive Oil, the garlic, the capers, the olives, and a bit of Chili Pepper if you like it. Add the anchovies and using a spoon smash them until melted in the oil. As soon as the garlic is changing its color, but I implore you! Before it gets brown, take it out of the oil, take the pan off the ring and squeeze in it the peeled tomatoes (pay attention to oil spatters) put the pan back on the ring and let the sauce cook. Now you can salt your boiling water and put in your Bucatini (they cook just 7-8 minutes)
As soon as your pasta is ready put your colander in the sink, drain it and add it to the sauce pan, mix it carefully and Buon Appetito!

RE: "Corned Beef Hash, browned it in the iron skillet and placed eggs on top and cooked them sunny side up, served the meat and eggs along nice warm biscuits and jam! "

Cathy- I love most breakfast foods- ANY time of day! And your cb hash menu is one of my all-time FAVS! YUM!
 
I love putanesca sauce. I make it every few months. For me that is heavy rotation.

Today I will work late. Since I don't get off till 9 I'll be having my meals all by my self today. I'm working my way through all the left over bits and bobs in the fridge. 1 piece of bread with mustard, the last couple slices of turkey and the last slice of haviarti, 1 piece of bread with two little squares of laughing cow. Fried up all the left over potatoes and ate an egg beaters omlette topped with grated parm. Then for dinner I have 2 bowls of beef and vegetable soup with an apple. This way I can start fresh at the store for the next week.
 
I didn't cook today, we just had Popeye's chicken. The sides were mashed potatoes in cajun gravy and mac.cheese. Cookie :)
 
Tomorrow Im thinking honey bbq chicken wings and maybe some mashed potatoes. I got a good deal on some yukon golds the other day.
 
mmmm... sloppy joes sound yummy! (can't believe I said that after all the ranting I've done about Rachel Ray cooking only sloppy joes variations!) Served w/ tater tots!

And ya'll know I could eat Popeye's 7 days a week! YUM!
 
She was doing yet another burger the other day. Made me think of you lol.
When ever she comes on and I hear burger come out of her mouth I usually stop paying attention.
 
RE: "She was doing yet another burger the other day."

Y'know... I could really enjoy her if she'd get out of her RUT! The girl needs some inspiration! Lord- maybe she should log-on here at Spice Place and go thru OUR threads? Ha!

RE: "Then went over to my daughters to play Yahtzee!!!"

Cathy, your & Eddie's T-Bones sound yummy! janie had one a few days back too... between the 2 of you's- you've got me cravin' red meat! (BTW- We had a dog named "Yahtzee" when I was a kid- a white spitz w/ black dots on her belly!)

I didn't cook tonight. Ordered two portions of meatball lasagne from the pick-up window of our local "La Gondola". AND a slice of their yummy cornmeal cake w/ raspberries. Brought in the second piece of lasagne for my midnight meal here at work. One's GOT to baby themselves on Valentine's Day, afterall!
 
What a cool name for a dog! He sounded like he would have made a perfect dice to roll, I love unique names for dogs.

And ya' know Kevin I like your Avatar how totally unique it is also!!!
