What are you having for your dinner tonight?

[EmmaG]

Just cooking some pastries for my other half, there is fresh croissants, pain au chocolat, and pain au raisins, I did pop a pain au raisin in the oven for myself as well

[Donna]

Just had lamb steaks with some mint sauce (not sure if allowed on low carb) and lots of veg's with cheese sauce. Very nice and very filling!!

[EmmaG]

Donna a little bit of mint sauce will be ok (it has got sugar in it though ) I wouldn't worry too much about your sauces/condiments as I think you are doing really well and they will not make too much difference unless you have having loads and loads of them.

I still have the odd bit of heinz ketchup etc

[Booktigger]

Well, I just had quiche and some raw veg. Didnt make enough to fill me up though!!

Delicious!

Greek food (especially in Greece) is fab. I'm sure it's a factor towards the Greeks being the most long-lived Europeans (especially as the men smoke like crazy and they drive like lunatics). There is a similar dish I've eaten in the country areas called Horiatapittaka or similar, made with a wild-growing plant they pick on the mountain/hillsides. Bit like Elvis and his Polk Salad Annie.

Another of my favourites ia stuffed courgette (zucchini) flowers. Loulathia. They are stuffed with rice, pine nuts and a little bit of spice and fried. Sounds wierd, tastes great.

Mmmm, now I'm ready for my breakfast! Bon appetit!

Eileen - here are a few Greek dishes you could google and see what you think
Kleftico - slow cooked lamb on the bone with tomato based sauce
Souvlakia - skewered grilled meat
Stifado - 'stew'
Moussaka - minced lamb and aubergine (egg plant) 'lasagne'

Thanks so much for the name of that dish (I will Google it later tonight!) I have a stifado recipe in one of my cookbooks & have fixed it; good! I love eggplant and pine nuts, so will look into that also...this is really a good post; pick up so many ideas & everyone willing to share

We've had almost no snow all Winter, but a big nor'easter came up the coast yesterday & dumped a seasons worth of snow: 6 to 10" I am NOT a Winter person....stuck in the house; buses in the neighborhood not running...so will comfort myself tonight with ham and cabbage with potatoes, carrots & leeks, with pickled beets on the side...and my usual ciabatta roll
