In response to Sarah's
"I was just informed one of our friends and his wife are joining us for dinner. That'll take care of someof the extras."

Don't you just love unexpected dinner guests? Do you have to replan what to serve?

Not at all. Everything I'm making serves at least 4, and is decidedly not kid friendly.

The pots de creme set!

Now they are in the fridge chilling. Hopefully the panna cotta sets, too.

You have been cooking up a storm today!

It clears my head and makes me feel human.

Do you have a good site to convert American measurements to metric, Sarah?

barleychown · « **Reply #5 on:** Feb 12, 2010, 09:11:56 PM »

If you type it into google, google itself spits out the answer. All the sites I've found are more confusing.

Cool, I brought home several cookbooks from New Zealand and have been sent more. Some is OK because a cup is a cup both places. And a kilo is 2.2 pounds, etc. But when they get into grams I have to research.....

Got the roast in the crock pot.

Is anybody making anything special for a Valentine's dinner?

barleychown · « **Reply #9 on:** Feb 13, 2010, 09:44:34 PM »

Prime rib, hasselback potatoes, salad and a dessert yet to be decided.

sunsoaker · « **Reply #10 on:** Feb 13, 2010, 09:49:04 PM »

Hassleback potatoes? What are those?

Dianna · « **Reply #11 on:** Feb 13, 2010, 10:22:09 PM »

Hasselback Potatoes

sunsoaker · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 13, 2010, 10:34:35 PM »

oh man, those sound good - and easy to make.

barleychown · « **Reply #13 on:** Feb 13, 2010, 10:47:58 PM »

They are outstanding...and if the oven is on anyway...

sunsoaker · « **Reply #14 on:** Feb 13, 2010, 10:59:06 PM »

Are you saying you forgot to turn on the oven?

Sunflower · « **Reply #15 on:** Feb 14, 2010, 10:47:21 AM »

IE:Valentines supper...yup, making a big roast chicken dinner with all the fixings today.

Dianna · « **Reply #16 on:** Feb 14, 2010, 05:52:55 PM »

Jim has steaks on the grill and I will be making some diced potatoes with onion to go with them. Might open a can of green beans, too...

Tasty deli wraps for dinner tonight. Quick, easy, not too unhealthy, and little cleanup.

sunsoaker · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 15, 2010, 08:33:41 PM »

Cookies. Late getting home and other things to get done. And cookies just sound good. lol

Dianna · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 15, 2010, 08:55:48 PM »

Barb.

Just because you live alone doesn't mean that you shouldn't eat right. Remember that to be healthy, your body needs to be fed healthy foods. Especially when you have diabetes to worry about. Find something good to go along with the cookies. Please?

I had leftovers from the Thai House that we had Saturday and Jim had leftover steak from last night. Sure felt good not to have to worry about cooking...

Tina · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 15, 2010, 09:12:56 PM »

I had brussels sprouts. I may have something else later, crackers and cheese or something.

sunsoaker · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 15, 2010, 09:30:28 PM »

I had real food at lunch. I promise! It had penne noodles, a highly seasoned tomato sause and lots of cheese, baked to perfectness. I'll be eating it all week since I haven't learned to cook for one yet. lol

Penny · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 16, 2010, 06:53:51 AM »

Tonight is pork tenderloin.

Has anyone ever tried Ragu spaghetti sauce in a jar? I have always made my own but Colby, my grandson, won't eat it. He will however eat Ragu Original Sauce. I added mushrooms to a jar last night and it's really good.

Triss · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 16, 2010, 12:27:35 PM »

I do pick it up on occasion when the kids want spaghetti but I do not have time to cook. We get the original meat sauce one.
