If you don't mind my asking, do you always eat potatoes with macaroni? I grew up poor and Italian, and times were never that tough. :)

I wouldn't call my lasagne macaroni. I know macaroni as a pasta shape you eat with cheese sauce or a disgusting pudding I was forced to eat at school, whereas lasagne, to me, is pasta sheets sandwiched with minced beef and covered in a cheese sauce.

Lasagne, salad, chips and garlic bread is one of my all time favourite meals - accompanied by a couple of bottles of wine.
 
soy ginger meatballs with either herbed rice or herbed couscous; i haven't decided which to prepare.

Next question, and I'm not sure I want to know. What kind of pudding do you serve with macaroni? :confused:

I think we may have some kind of culinary, cross continent language barrier going on here :D

It might be easiest if you Googled macaroni pudding, but it's macaroni covered with milk, sprinkled with nutmeg and baked in the oven - a cousin of rice pudding
 
Beef Stroganoff with homemade egg noodles. Strawberries with a balsamic reduction for dessert.

They used to make it into a milky pudding like rice pudding but with macaroni rings...it was a form of torture used by the British educational system to subdue small children...

What's for dinner here though is faaar better...

Roast local Lincoln Red beef, roast tatties and parsnips, runner beans, carrots and savoy cabbage, gravy and home made horseradish sauce with apple pie and cream for afters...

This dinner is fulfilling a fantasy I have long held of my beloved sitting at my dinner table with my family-today it's going to happen

Ah yes...the American educational system wasn't much different. To this day, the smell of stewed tomatoes makes me queasy.

One of the things I miss about growing up is the Sunday sauce my mom made. I'm close, but not quite.

Your dinner and company sounds wonderful.
 
tonight is a roast whole chicken not sure if I am going to pair it with a stuffing or mashed potato. for vegetables I am doing fresh baby spinach sautéed with minced garlic and almonds.

It's gonna be Seafood Bisque.....I don't make it though....I just pour the wine, offer encouragement, and try not to look stupid...off to get supplies
 
Mojo-marinated, medium rare (barely) grilled backstrap (venison loin) with rice & great northern beans; coooked to near mush.
 
Tonight it's a medley of sauteed veg - mushrooms, peppers, courgettes, cauli, broccoli, green beans - covered in a cheese sauce, sprinkled with grated cheese and bacon bits, then baked in the oven.
 
We had pomme frites & salad. And a nice dark bier.:)

I suspect there will be potatoes with every meal...
 
BBQ chicken done in the slow cooker, taters, beets, rolls and brownies for dessert.
