What are you having for your dinner tonight?

dandysmom · 14-02-2006, 10:41 PM

Another stir fry tonight: shiiatake and button mushrooms, scallions, cabbage plus a strip of crispy bacon crumbled, & over rice. Also, kim chi. In the freezer: bacon, pizza crusts & pizza sauce, swordfish, shrimp shiu mai, pork potstickers, ciabatta and sesame seed rolls,pesto sauce, sliced mozzarella (freezes very well), baby limas (the default vegetable in my house when nothing at the market appeals or isn't fresh...the fresh spinach has been AWFUL lately), part of a ham, a rainbow trout and: a couple of unidentifiable things in foil wrap that I have no idea what are

and have probably been there too long and that I should just throw out!!

Loved the riff on venison...you all are MAD; that's why I love this site

Whoops! Just re-read my last post about what was in the freezer & forgot the frozen meatballs!

Meatball subs, spaghetti & meatballs

As to canned tomatoes (I couldn't cook without them!!!) be careful as they are VERY high in sodium...190 mg in a 14 1/5 oz. can. Suppose they must be the same in UK?

DM I thought I would see how the UK tinned tomatoes compared with the US, now my 400g tin of tomatoes states it has less than 0.1g of sodium, so I am presuming these are quite low in sodium???? They are Sainsburys Premium peeled plum tomatoes??

Emma, I don't know metric at all; wasn't taught in the schools back in the Dark Ages when I went; is a gram more or less than a milligram? (I suppose I could Google it, but easier to ask you

My brand is Hunts Whole Peeled tomatoes and 411 grams in weight and, as I said 190 milligrams...I guess I just answered my own question ...obviously grams must be larger

!! Should have looked at a casn BEFORE starting this post....Duh!!

EmmaG · 15-02-2006, 10:28 PM

lol I think 1000 mg = 1 gram

Therefore your 190mg of sodium is .19g per tin, therefore my Sainsburys has less sodium that your brand.

yours is .19g whereas mine is less an .1g, not much in it really

Tonight is Wednesday and Wednesday is ALWAYS pizza night in my house...love the stuff

And the accompanying green salad. Emma, I think what you have are probably no-salt tomatoes, or possibly low salt. Next time I'm in the market will look at a can of each & see how many mg they have. It's interesting to compare, isn't it?

EmmaG · 15-02-2006, 10:31 PM

Yes it is very interesting, especially as you Americans seem to have far more choice of food than we do

Donna · 15-02-2006, 10:33 PM

Glad I can use tinned tomatos still!!

EmmaG · 15-02-2006, 10:55 PM

Yes Donna you can still use them, it would be interesting to know what your sodium levels are on your tins though
