What's for dinner - Page 3 - A Meeting of Minds

Kater, that is one of the nicest things about it here, we have the best Mexican food anywhere. Anything you want we got it, in any degree of heat that you can stand. When I met my husband, he was from New York at the time, and he did not know anythng about Mexican food. Now we eat about fifty-fifty, Mexican food and Italian. The Italian, was his food of choice, so I have spent thiry years learning to cook it, and he has spent thiry years getting use to my food. So far it works great, we both get what we love and have learned to love the others.

Over the past 15 years with my husband my heat tolorance has increased but not to my husbands level! One of the best finds we ever made was an Italian restaurant (which I love) with a Cambodian chef. The deal the chef made with the owner was that as long as he could have some Cambodian dishes on the menu he would cook there!! Was great for us when we couldn't come to a compromise!!

Lady Maelin · Jan 3 2006, 03:22 PM

WOW, what a combination, that would be good for me too. My husband doesn't like oreintal food and I love it. I don't know anything about Cambodian food though, is it very diferent than Chinese or Japanese food?

Kater · Jan 3 2006, 03:34 PM

Cambodian is very similar to Vietnamese, Chineese or Japanese food. It is oriental in the style of cooking and some of the ingredients but the spice is quite different. It is very good but the level of heat my husband enjoys is much higher then mine. We usually would get a mild to medium with extra hot sauce on the side. Luckily both my husband and I love oreintal food as well as Mexican it's just our level of heat that differs.

ghyle · Jan 4 2006, 01:23 AM

Yum! All this talk of food is making me hungry. I shall, though, be having the old Australian standby: pie and chips, tonight.

Lady Maelin · Jan 5 2006, 08:32 PM

We both avoid any hot or overly spicy food, I have even toned down our Mexican favorites. The Italian is not hot so it is still the same, I think in my husbands next life he may come back as a new plant a giant garlic tomatoe. If any kind of food is covered in that he will find a way to eat it Well maybe not sweet potato's but everything else.

As for oriental food I have never tasted any of it that is hot or very spicy but the rest I love that I have eaten.

Im with you Ghyle, I am glad it is getting close to dinner time here, I am getting so hungry reading all of these.

Greenrider Tresa · Jan 6 2006, 02:50 PM

All Mexican food doesn't have to be spicy. Quite a few of my family's meals are pretty mild. In fact, I don't like a lot of spiciness.

Of Oriental food, I've pretty much only had Chinese, and liked most of it. My favorite's sweet and sour shrimp, though I fell in love with the stuffed dumplings the first time I had them.

Lady Maelin · Jan 8 2006, 01:01 AM

Tresa,
That is what I told my husband when I toned it down to suit his taste. To me Mexican food comes in almost every degree of mild to "HOT", he doesn't eat all the different kinds of Mexican dishes that I do but he does love what he eats. Wow, I can't imagine who wouldn't it is so popular.
I don't eat oriental anymore because of all the fat that is in it but I still think about it. I make my own version of it now and that is pretty good too, but not like the real thing. Oh well you do what you can or you do without!

ghyle · Jan 8 2006, 02:05 AM

I love making the student standby (spaghetti) but replacing the spaghetti with smaller pasta, and chucking in as many ingrediants that others may not normally use--zucchini, soy sauce, peppers, for instance; also favourites--mushrooms, olives, etc. into one big delicious mess. Then eating that fr several days stright.

Also mince, vegies and gravy with cheese lumps. Spiced up or otherwise, great on bread.

According to my nutrition guide, you can eat Oriental, just choose vegetable and rice dishes or stir fry. And an occasional treat of whatever you want won't hurt anything, so long as you don't overindulge. What I do is alternate, for example I can have 2 minisnickers on Saturday, and a pie on Monday if I want, but it's all healthy snackes Sunday to earn it.

Lady Maelin · Jan 9 2006, 03:40 PM

Tresa,
The diet that we are on is realy strict, we have to watch fat, sugar, and salt.

Hubby has a heart condition, and my med. crud. So I just make us what ever we want to eat and change the recipe to suit.

I am kind of proud of how good a diet cook I have become(as long as I don't burn

it)with all the things that we can't eat anymore. Even the kids would eat it,

so it couldn't be that bad!!

I make a thing called a "cinamon rasin roll, pancake"it is fat-free,and sugar free(except the rasins) and it is great!!

I realy missed cinamon rolls and donuts, so I made this so we could feel like we had a treaty.
I have never been one of those people who could have just a little of something gooooood! I have to have a ton of it so it is beter if I stay away or make it so I don't have to worry about it.

Myt · Jan 10 2006, 04:52 AM

I stay away from oils and salt simply because I don't like oily or salty food. No diets here!

Jayru · Jan 10 2006, 08:50 AM

Tonight:

Tofu and prawn stirfry. never had tofu before, so it should be interesting....

***Hans*** · Jan 10 2006, 08:55 AM

You're trying it just to be able to judge for yourself it's crap, right?

(And I'm not talking about prawns here)

Nuts. I've aleady defrosted it. Oh well, we shall see (in about 5 hours time)

**Cheryl** · Jan 10 2006, 09:18 AM

Well, as part of your sig says, all life is a learning experience. You've just learned about tofu (unless you chickened out, pun intended). Now you need not repeat the experience.

Haven't tried it - yet. Never know, I may like it

ghyle · Jan 10 2006, 03:27 PM

If you get used to it, tofu is a very versatile food. I enjoy it quite readily, especially silky tofu.

It's great in casseroles, if you cube it finely, and let it marinade beforehand. I generally use a honey soy marinade for mine, but then I love honey soy. I prefer the red wine marinades for my meat.

Jayru · Jan 10 2006, 03:54 PM

Well - it was bland! Ok, not awful. I'd eat it again, but make sure I add something to it to give it some flavour

Healthy eating can be so much fun. Tomorrow it's Bramley Apple Sausages (that's all they're made of!)

Lady Maelin · Jan 10 2006, 04:25 PM

Let me know what the apple sausages taste like

, but I am with Hans and Cheryl about the Tofu. Besides I am majorly alergic to it, sick,

sick! But I like the health food thing, I do it all the time now.

Myt · Jan 10 2006, 07:04 PM

Whats in tofu anyway?

edith · Jan 10 2006, 07:09 PM

its bean curd!

ghyle · Jan 11 2006, 01:21 AM

Yes, it is somewhat bland, no? That's why I love marinating mine. As I would.

I am trying to cut down on the ammount of meat I eat - so instead of eating meat every day (like I used to) I have cut it down to 3 times a week. The local supermarket has an "interesting" selection of vegitarian alternatives. The sausages are one... I'll let you know though!

edith · Jan 12 2006, 09:01 AM

I grilled herrings last night!
my kitchen now stinks!
don't think i'll cook them again in a hurry!
they tasted ok but the bones got everywhere!!!

ghyle · Jan 12 2006, 03:49 PM

How did you grill them Edith? With what extras did you grill them?--herbs, juice, etc.

edith · Jan 12 2006, 04:37 PM

just oil and pepper

ghyle · Jan 13 2006, 01:36 AM

Did you wrap them in foil (hopefully shiny side in)? That's how I do my fish (I hope to try that trick with haloumi cheese--the cheese normally doesn't melt).

I like them with lemon and lime juice and dill, or pineapple, rings top and bottom, the smaller, sweeter variety of pineapple.

edith · Jan 13 2006, 07:34 AM

nope just stuck them under the grill for about 10-15mins. I wasn't in the mood to do anything that exciting with them!

apple sausages taste quite nice. I was very surprised! It's meat night tonight, so nothing more exciting then a bit of grilled chicken.

edith · Jan 13 2006, 12:44 PM

they sounded interesting. Have you heard of Glamorgan sausages?

ghyle · Jan 13 2006, 05:37 PM

If you try grilling them in foil, taking care not to overcook them, you shouldn't have a problem with losing juices at all. The flesh should remain tender, and not dry out.

I don't know about the smell, though. Never cooked herrings, and the smell could be a herring thing.

I wonder what trout stuffed with cherries would taste like? :

Lady Maelin · Jan 13 2006, 10:52 PM

What is a Glamorgan, sausage? I have never heard of anything like that. So the apple sausages tasted good, what kind of flavor did they have, what spices were used?

edith · Jan 14 2006, 03:08 PM

Glamorgan sausages are a sort of poor man's sausage made of breadcrumbs and cheese. Why Glamorgan I'm not sure!

Well, they were bramley apples - not sure about the spice. I never thought to look at the pack LOL. We shall get some more, and I shall post the answer.....

Lady Maelin · Jan 14 2006, 07:36 PM

Thank you J, I love apples and I love sausages and things that you can do to them. If it has soy in them though I can't eat them, but other than that I am game. Maybe they have them at my local health food store?

Tonight is the homemade pizza breads, with the fresh made bread, cut in half, with tomato sauce and seasonings, turkey peperoni, turkey italian sausages, nonfat mozzarella cheese, sprinkled with fresh parmesan, then baked until gooey cheese and crispy bread served with a fresh salad. And then because it is a holiday(Martin Luther King's birthday) "Captain Papa"(as my Grand-daughter calls my husband) get his chocolate pie for desert.

ghyle · Jan 15 2006, 01:01 AM

I am having pasta, mince and vegies tonight. No cheese, but then I've run out of all but block cheese.

Mind you, I have a hanlkering for toast, for some reason, which is really weird. I don't eat toast (too dry).

edith · Jan 15 2006, 11:43 AM

soak it in butter!

I nearly set the kitchen alight last night. I use a wok alot and it normally sits on the front hob, but I didn't last night, but I did boil veg on the back ring of the cooker. Being in a bit of a rush I turned the hob on without thinking, and thus turned on the front one where I'd left a wooden spoon. Luckily I caught it just in time!

I have never heard of anything like that. So the apple sausages tasted good, what kind of flavor did they have, what spices were used? __________________ "To the Horsehead Nebula and back we shall make beautiful music"..."Together!"

Re: What's for dinner Thank you J, I love apples and I love sausages and things that you can do to them. If it has soy in them though I can't eat them, but other than that I am game. Maybe they have them at my local health food store? Tonight is the homemade pizza breads, with the fresh made bread, cut in half, with tomato sauce and seasonings, turkey peperoni, turkey italian sausages, nonfat mozzarella cheese, sprinkled with fresh parmesan, then baked until gooey cheese and crispy bread served with a fresh salad. And then because it is a holiday(Martin Luther King's birthday) "Captain Papa"(as my Grand-daughter calls my husband) get his chocolate pie for desert. __________________ "To the Horsehead Nebula and back we shall make beautiful music"..."Together!"

No cheese, but then I've run out of all but block cheese. Mind you, I have a hanlkering for toast, for some reason, which is really weird. I don't eat toast (too dry).

I nearly set the kitchen alight last night. I use a wok alot and it normally sits on the front hob, but I didn't last night, but I did boil veg on the back ring of the cooker. Being in a bit of a rush I turned the hob on without thinking, and thus turned on the front one where I'd left a wooden spoon. Luckily I caught it just in time!
