Let’s have dinner!

[BongoGal]

Sometimes beer, depending what we’re having. Like with pizza, it’s beer usually.

There used to be a brewpub in western MA that served a basil infused beer called Bazilla. After a single sip, the cravings for pizza would be overwhelming.

I just celebrated 39 years clean last week. I can still close my eyes and smell the swamp cooler...see the color of the carpet...walls...the blood on my arms...and remember everything that made me change my life. I never want to go back there. I know I would never have another chance. I have learned....it really wasn't about the drugs or alcohol. It was about why I used the drugs and alcohol. Those were the only tools I had to cope. So I don't drink.

It isn't that I am against it. I have had a glass of champagne at a wedding. Or a good wheat beer at a BBQ. It is just I don't need it. I do it only to make others comfortable...cause for some reason...it makes others uncomfortable. If you come to my house....I don't offer you a drink. If I go to yours...I may accept...I may not...it really is how important you are in my life. If you are important...and it makes you happy...I will have a beer. But I never accept a second.

Today for me it’s pasta carbonara, which I haven’t eaten for a very long time. Lately I wasn’t feeling very well when it comes to food and my stomach. When I found https://betterme.world/articles/24-hour-fast-timeline/ I understood that I should try fasting to reset my stomach. After I did that, I started feeling much better. I also began eating healthier and lighter food. But once a week I allow myself to eat one very tasty and unhealthy meal. So that’s why today I’m having my favorite carbonara.

I had chili with bean tonight and a rice cake.

Hi friends - sorry I've been away. Been a busy week.
But thinking of food, for better or worse, never ends when you have to feed a family!

We're due a snow storm here so the shops were busy as all get out.
That makes me wonder...

What is your cold weather comfort food?

I don't have one specific thing but I got the ingredients for chili (there's also football on Sunday, so...chili, going to make some corn dip recipe I saw to eat during the game), some things to use for baking, and stuff to make everyone happy for a few days.

 

[Jeanie99]

Beef stew and cornbread. Any kind of stew actually. Its good on a cold day

 

[Dribble]

I made my extended meal list. It includes meals i can cook...mre's with a heat pack...and meals we can just eat...depending on what we get.

I got stuff to make chicken and noodles, lasagna, chicken enchiladas, along with chili and spaghetti sauce in the freezer. I always have stuff to make Mac and cheese and Alfredo and several kinds of sandwiches

 

[CuriousRick]

I plan on making a big crock pot of chili tomorrow morning. Let it simmer all day

 

[Noor]

I just had ribs for dinner

I’m going to do that Sunday. Veggie but still.

Is that still chili? How do you layer the spices with something veggie based? Cause I start with onions and green peppers with 3:1 ratio of lean ground beef and sausage....and that is where I add the first layer of spice...before I add any liquid

same as you, just with beans instead of meat. I have a lot of spices, usually cumin, a few different chili powders, oregano, tomato paste, blah blah. I can add zucchini, sweet potato, whatever. FIBER!

Soup, stew, chili of any kind is good when it’s cold, but I’ve been particularly craving potato soup with bacon.

ohhhh I love potato soup.

I plan on doing some baking.

 

[Noor]

Since I had dim sum and spring greens salad for lunch, I’m going to a chicken sandwich, sweet potato fries and cucumber salad for dinner.

 

[cole4258]

How about some pasta with Alfredo sauce and shrimp and Alfredo sauce green salad and garlic bread

 

[CuriousCat89]

Pasta is always a good idea

 

[cheekygirl75]

How about some pasta with Alfredo sauce and shrimp and Fred green salad and garlic bread

Who's Fred and why does he have a green salad named after him?

Fixed the typos

 

[cole4258]

Today will be a home made chili

 

[CuriousCat89]

It's still too damn cold here, so I'm drinking more tea than ever. I made a delicious brothy rice dinner last night and it hit perfectly.

Brothy rice forever.

 

[sandybrooke]

I just had ribs for dinner

Snowed in and decided to make ribs. Tried a crock pot recipe and browned them in the oven. The honey that was in the BBQ sause brunt the fuckers! I was so mad at myself for not checking them

 

[Dave88ITA]

Being Italian I think I bear a heavy responsibility! Homemade pizza today, ham and cheese, nothing fancy

 

[Dribble]

I am glad I stocked up. I am hearing up to 2 weeks before county roads are passable. Too much ice...too many fallen trees. Salt trucks can't make it up the hills here. And we got it easy. I pitty those far worse off

Since moving, I don't really have one (don't experience cold weather unless I'm up in the mountains). Chili is a common one, but I eat chili all year 'round.
