Grilled Giant Madagascar prawns on a bed of rocket and mixed fresh herbs, rosemary roast potatoes, as a dessert Belgian chocolate cheesecake all washed down with a glass or ten of chilled Prosecco.
 
1/2 lb Angus burger, medium, provolone and cheddar, on a kaiser roll, side of specially seasoned broccoli.
 
Prawn cocktail with a small side salad of rocket, dandelion and mint; followed by lightly floured, pan fried sea bass fillet with asparagus seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice and mustard; to finish fresh strawberries in sugar and whiskey. The lot washed down with a bottle of chilled Rosé Anjou.
 
Grilled Merguez, grilled aubergines, grilled peppers and cous-cous, the beverage is iced tea with lemon and mint.
 
Bringing home a bacon, mushroom, sausage, pepperoni pizza for the roommates and I, plus garlic bread and hot wings.

:D
 
I chuckling reading this, and remembered seeing this "real Italian treat" : ;)

Scary thing is that, in college, I brought home some fellow Computer Science majors to do some coding and having lunch while the school's main frame was under a quick - 4 hour - repair. I had leftover spaghetti in the fridge, along with meatballs and sausage.

One of my fellow nerds asked if I had ketchup and hot dogs in my pasta, since that's what his mother taught him what "real" Italians had. Needless to say, I had to teach him what the owners of the restaurant where I was working would say to him if they heard him. I also converted him to "Baked Leftover Spaghetti with Meatball and Sausage Pieces" - cut up the meat, mix in the spaghetti and through mozzarella on top.

Ketchup!

You sound like my son's college friends, who like to show up around 4, 5 pm and see what's for dinner, and seeing that I'm making meatballs, will go to the supermarket and come back with more garlic bread, sausage meat, bread crumbs if I need it, mozzarella and ricotta....

geez Louise, you are killing me here! *wipes drool* and yes, I would love to go to the store for you so I could have a night where I didn't have to be the one cooking. :D


I guess I should say what I am having for dinner since I haven't done that yet and it's the thread subject. :eek: I think we are going out for Chinese tonight. :)

Oh, it gets worse: When I was the stay-at-home parent, it would not be unusual for me to make homemade cinnamon rolls...once a week....


Tonight's leftovers...wife and I grew up with our families cleaning up the fridge once a week and eating whatever is in there.
