Half of what was left of my roast chicken became wild rice/mushroom soup tonight. Awesome. Used the recipe from the Dayton's River Room restaurant where it originated. It was a signature item that Marshall Field's kept on their menu when they bought Dayton's. (In case anybody has had it in either of those department stores.) How could it not be good with heavy cream and sherry?

The other half of the leftover chicken will be in a veggie stir-fry tomorrow. I just discovered that the cauliflower I thought was in the fridge has wandered off, and there is no trace of the frozen bag of stir-fry veggies. It is 2:30 am. I'm trying to decide if a trip to the all-night grocer is warranted. All I have on hand is celery, carrots (nice, from farmer's market), colored bell peppers, onion, and frozen corn. Hmmm. Oh, and some kale. Is that too strong-flavored for stir-fry? I'll have to give it some thought.

I LOVE having everything prepped when I start dinner shortly after waking up in the afternoon.

LOL, Pam, that reminds me of why I prefer to buy crayfish already pulled from the shell. I think of the t-shirts we saw in craw-daddy country that said, "You want me to suck WHAT?"

They eat shrimp, and a crab cake.. but picking out a Md Blue Crab is not thier thing...LOL... I am a MD transplant (37 years) and they don;t know what they are missing... My one little cousin wanted to try it but was embarassed.. Heck we were all novices once, and they are so worth the work! My Mom is pretty good at it, and my Aunt watched today, and admitted the backfin we passed her way was pretty yummy. She had never had cream of crab soup.. and she loved it!! We are takeing the Aunt and Mom to Ocean City this week for a Vacay.. Lots more yummy Md seafood in her future.. as she is now visiting quite a bit for a week at a time.. Her prefered food is doughnuts..

Well slight change with dinner. I ran it by hubby since it is his birthday and he opted for the porkchops but wanted Mac n cheese and asparagus. And of course his birthday cake for dessert. I tried something different with the chops. I fried them in a skillet with a little olive oil and then once cooked, simmered it in a mixture of apple juice and honey. Wow that was a great idea!

My grilled salmon was good. Only used a little olive oil and Old Bay seasoning on it. I think salmon has such a wonderful flavor all on its own. With it I served mashed sweet potatoes (so I could try out a new ricer) with butter and a touch of honey, and fresh peas. As a child I HATED, HATED peas. But as an adult I discovered I hate overcooked (canned) peas. Fresh are a whole 'nother veggie.

For tonight I have a whole chicken roasting. Smells good! Maybe worth it for the aroma in the house. I'm not sure I've roasted a chicken since local stores started selling rotisserie chicken.

Elizabeth, I've been thinking of lasagna lately. Haven't made that in a long while, either. Tell your husband he inspired one of my meals for next week!

Well chili was great last night, but hubby ca,e home from the hospital this Mir I got. It's his birthday and we were going out for dinner but he is not up to it yet. So tonight will be pork chops, rice and gravy and corn on the cob.

Wow, Elizabeth, that is something to be grateful for, and I would be too. Our kitchen is basically closed (mostly to my husband) until I am sure the ants don't find a new path inside. I am becoming hypervigilant so as to protect him from the ant spray and inviting ants unknowingly. I have cooked in there, but it's scary.
Clean up is harder because there is a baby powder trail to prevent ant crossings.
Dinner, as always, is going to be late!

Our dinner was leftover take out lunch. This restaurant makes local dishes along with mainland dishes. I save up enough so that I have extra money to splurge for a large bowl of beef shank soup with cabbage and 2 scoops of rice on the side for $12.99. They are not stingy with the meat. I come home, cook 2 cups of rice (so sis and I can have 1 scoop per meal.). I put the soup in a pot, pour water in it, add soy sauce. When I ate it for lunch, it tasted odd. Someone Added a spice into the recipe. I don't like that.

So for dinner, to cover that spice taste, I made a side dish of vinegar, soy sauce and water. Mix to fit my taste (a bit sour with a slight saltiness. I squashed and cut up a long red hot pepper in it. Cut up several cherry tomatoes so that my vinegar soy mix will soak into it. Yum!! It definitely covered that odd spicy taste in the soup.

Can you believe despite having that soup for lunch and dinner, we still have leftovers?

I had my cheeseburger at about 2 am, at a near-by Perkins. Then I did my grocery shopping. All the posts here about salmon must have been rattling around my brain. That is what I'm fixing tonight.

Chili is always good...even in the summer...nice and tasty...

I was hostess for my aunt's 99th birthday in June. we had barbecue, beans, etc. etc...There was a lot of barbecue left, so I ground it up, added the left over beans and jalapeno peppers and onions and it made for a really spicy chili, and a lot of it. So I have frozen small containers for whenever it is desired. marymember

Tonight is chili. We have some left over ground sirloin and everything we need including sour cream and cheese, biscuits and lots to out in a salad. Dinners are so much easier when hubby isn't around. Mom is not picky at all.

Last night, many people were having Salmon. We did, then this morning, the ants made a new path and ended up looking for the minute ( If possible) tiny, smallest amount of salmon oil in the garbage disposal! Passing by the recommended baby powder barrier , they went around, the clean kitchen and counters, really was clean, and I am keeping it that way, and down into that disposal, which was run and rinsed last night.
Tonight, the ants may create a longer path, into the bedroom, into the bed, and up to my mouth where they might get a whiff of the cheesburger! Buying or borrowing an anteater from the zoo next.

Our household dinner is over. But ... I usually have my next meal after midnight. Hmmm ... I just have to think of a late-night or all-night diner and go have me a cheeseburger! (Too full from dinner for that to sound good now, but maybe by midnight ...)

Salmon tonight with sweet chilli and ginger space laced with brandy (I have to use it up and mum isn't allowed to have it neat so I burn off the alcohol) and served with buttered noodles with chopped fresh herbs.

Then we are having a treat bananas strawberries, raspberries and meringue topped with cornish clotted cream ice cream and finished with grated chocolate over a peach sauce - Mum loves it but we only ever have it once a year or so because it sure as hell aint healthy although I could argue it was if you wanted me to!!!!
Fruit fine
Meringues is egg white - that fine and sugar....well Sugar is vegetable based so that must be good
clotted cream comes from cows who feed on grass which is vegetables so must be good (if not it d*mned well tastes good)
peach sauce fruit and sugar see above
and chocolate well milk sugar and cocoa all vegetarian using my reckoning above!!!!!!!!!
Now I really must take my tongue out of my cheek

It is 2:45 am here. I need to take melatonin at 3 am, so I'll hang around till then. Then I'm off to the all-night grocer to pick up a couple of ingredients for tomorrow's dinner. I should be back in plenty of time to get all the ingredients ready and make my 5 am bedtime.

I'm not quite used to this yet, but I'm working on it!

Hi 1amCristina, where are you from? As you probably know, Malungay does not grow in any US back yards. What kind of store might it be sold in here? Do you have favorite ways to prepare it? Or are you talking about herbal supplements?

This thread is mostly about making dinner. What's your favorite use of mulungay for dinner?
