What are you having for your dinner tonight?

[Donna]

Think they should change this to the "donna and emma chat thread" Hope no one minds!!!!

[EmmaG]

lol I did think that earlier If anybody minds, please say

[yola]

Of course not . . . as long as you don't mind us all posting what we're having for dinner sometimes

[dinahsmum]

You girls could add your recipes to the sticky at the top of this section - then we can all find them easily!
Don't mind you nattering but trawling through 40+ pages (and growing) will become more of a chore.
PS - I didn't really understand Az's instructions in the sticky - so if someone else starts I'll put my recipes there as well!

[EmmaG]

DM I think Az just wanted us to post a link to the recipes rather than copying them out again. I have added one to the sticky, you will see what he means.

Everything has its fashion, even wine. Remember Chardonnay?
Your cheese & bics and glass of wine sounds a good pre-bed treat to me!

You are more enlighteded on your side of the Atlantic Here the weekly wine column in the Post regularly sneers at rose (has been known to comment on "a waste of good grapes"!) and the liquor stores have gazillions of shelves of reds & whites from all over the world, but skimpy on roses Again, thanks for that pasta recipe

Well I am having salmon tonight with creamed leeks and veggies

Oh anybody low carbing and fancy something sweet and like coconut you can have a few chunks of creamed coconut (solid block) It is low in carbs and fairly high in fat so quite satisfying.

I made a couple of coconut custards, one for this evening and one for tomorrow for breakfast yummm!!!!

Emma, how do you fix creamed leeks? I love them, but usually cook them, split open, sprinkle finely-shredded mozzarella & a couple of grinds of pepper then pop them uder the broiler to melt the cheese..

[EmmaG]

DM this is how I did them, trim leeks, split open and chop up, put them in a pan with a little water and some milk, cook on a moderate heat until nice and soft, remove leeks from pan, reduce the milk and water down so there is only a little bit left, add cream, butter and whatever cheese you like, heat gently, return leeks to the pan. Season with a bit of pepper

These were lovely!!!!

I am feeling lazy tonight so just having tuna salad, potato chips and curried cauliflower, and a sugar cookie with my tea! Our Whole Foods supermarket here specializes in organic foods: their baked goods are all organic and the sugar cookies taste exactly like the ones my Grandma used to bake & that I had on the back porch steps with a glass of milk when I was a little kid!!
