What is for dinner? (May5 09)

THURSDAY, 05/21: I've eaten heavy- and lotsa red meat all week, so tonight will be a meatless supper: either some cheeses, a few crackers and grapes & a mango, or if I am more hungry and require something heavier, possibly an omelet using some leftover broccoli from Wednesday night's T-Bone spread.
 
I roasted a chicken last night. Today I made some homemade hotdog sauce. Tomorrow we will have beef hotdogs with salad.
 
Last night I made venison kabobs and vegetable kabobs that I marinated overnight in Greek marinade, then grilled. I served with tzatziki.
 
I made some herb roasted corn on the cobb. I honestly think I like corn without all of the herbs more. Roasting in the oven was delish though. Jon had porkchops and rosted new potatoes. I seasoned the chops with herbs de provence, salt and pepper and used the same on the potatoes plus minced garlic and evoo.
 
I had salad with some leftover roasted chicken breast tossed in.
Jon seems to be sleeping the day away lol.

My Eddie is doing the same Janie! Gesh we should be neighbors!!!

I took the girls to have their portraits made at Wal-Mart's photography studio, did a little grocery shopping, and just watched TV once I got the house spic-n-span! It's a rainy day here and my better-half is in alot of agony with the damp weather so he camps out on the heating pad in bed!
 
Jon has the same problem. His joints are bothering him from the rain today.
I messed up my back packing heavy computer stuff the past few weeks and the rain hasnt done alot for me either. Aleve has been my pal today lol.
It has rained so much here people are having trouble getting their gardens out.

I love to toss cold leftover chicken into salad. Then I use the carcass to make broth.
When Jon got up I made him some asian grilled shrimp and he had brownies for dessert.
I marinaded the shrimp in molasses, soy sauce, green onion, red pepper flakes, sesame oil and garlic.
 
I followed janie's and eddie's lead tonight and tore-off the breast from a Wal-Mart rotiserie hen and tossed it w/ 2 crisp caesar side-salads from the Wendy's drive-thru window. Tomorrow I'll remove the meat from the remaining legs & thighs and either toss w/ another salad or maybe add some to an omelet- or perhaps a quesadilla!
 
Chicken rolls stuffed with dressing loaded with herbs and garlic and herb risotto.
I have tons of basil and thyme to use lol.
 
We ended up canoeing after all. We spent the day paddling up the Olentangy river. It was so beautiful. I took sandwiches of grilled balsamic vegetables with gorgonzola mayo and some delicious potato and pea salad. For dinner I made provencal tuna steaks with a french remoulade, steamed artichokes and roasted baby carrots. For dessert it was all American chocolate chip cookies and milk.
 
I slow smoked a roast on the grill. I cut a few cherry limbs from a tree to allow more sun to the gardens. I used some of the green wood for smoking. I made a Jack Daniel Sauce that I used for a glaze. I brushed it on during the last half hour or so of cooking. The meat was so tender when it was done. I really enjoyed the smoke flavor more than using hickory or mesquite chips.
 
I did all my cooking over the weekend since I’m working the late shift again this week. We will be having soup au pistou for lunch and moussaka for dinner the next 3 nights. After that I’m off to Chicago. I won’t be cooking again until next Tuesday. I made Chicken Stefado and some spinach-dill rice pilaf to put in the freezer so when I come back dinner only needs to be defrosted.
 
Last night I went w/ a buddy to "Niro's Gyros" and ordered a triple-gyro platter to ensure that I've have enuf meat and tzadziki leftover to place atop a mountain of greens tonight for a big 'ol gyro-salad. So that's my plan!
 
Buttermilk fried chicken legs and salad. I made french vanilla shakes for dessert with a splash of amaretto. I made pizza for lunch. I used garlic pizza crust and topped it with pizza sauce, italian sausage, mushrooms, olives, pepper rings, fresh mozerella and parm.
 
Thurs. 5/28: I'm going hi-protein/no carbs again tonight (those slacks are getting looser and looser around my waist- I should have no trouble pullin' them on, come Sunday!) So, I'm having fennel/garlic/cayenne-seasoned pork ribs and a wedge salad w/ thick buttermilk-blue cheese dressing, crumbled bacon and a few split grape 'maters.
