what are you having for dinner?

[wellington1869]

I'm having a subway sandwich. Turkey with cheese, yellow and green peppers, olives, and vinegrette dressing, on wheat. With a yogurt and a water.

Lammy's having microwaved twinkies with canned beans.

What about you?

[microsoft windows]

I had myself a ham and cheese sandwich, with lettuce and mustard.

[EverythingIBM]

Pasta. I like macaroni noodles because they cook nicely, and you can eat lots of them. Usually people get too full from pasta due to the type of noodles used...

I probably make the best pasta in the world (no joke).

Ingredients:
*Macaroni
*butter
*extra virgin olive oil
*milk
*cottage cheese
*ronzoni pasta sauce
*cheese

The cottage cheese helps give it a more smooth texture (sour cream will do too!). Olive oil is to help everything stick to the noodles, plus it's good for you. Butter gives flavour, and prevents noodles from sticking.

Sometimes I fry up eggs, with some onion & chicken.

[bigpook]

pasta with beans and spinach, lots of roasted garlic, red pepper and cheese.

[wellington1869]

we are a carb-heavy nation arent we.

good to see folks are squeezing some veggies in there though. I've been on a peppers kick lately (both yellow and green).  My brother-in-law made me a grilled cheese with yellow "banana" peppers inside, was surprisingly delicious.

[Daniel Beaver]

Corned beef sandwich. Not my favorite.

Vegetables are for hippies.

[HaaTa]

Corned beef .

Hmm, add some Swiss Cheese and some Sauerkraut and we have a Rubin Sandwich

Oh, and use Rye Bread.

[Oqsy]

Spaghetti

[Senor_Cartmenez]

I went to town on the chinese-mongolian buffet yesterday.
Monosodium glutamates ftw.

Might continue my health spree with some burgers tonight. If only we had more than Burger King and McDonald's in Germany ...

[Ekaros]

"Muikkukukko" and some butter

[itlnstln]

I had a barbacoa taco for breakfast this morning.  They're great after a long night of drinking.  I didn't drink last night, though.  I'm recovering from moving.

[wellington1869]

"Muikkukukko"

what on earth is that?

[keyboardlover]

I had pizza and salad last night. It was gooooooood =)

[itlnstln]

That sounds good.  I don't think I will partake in the buttermilk, though.

[itlnstln]

Moving is a *****.

Man, **** moving.  After having to get a refrigerator (this *****) upstairs into the townhouse along with a washer, dryer and 4 marble tables, I have a whole new level of respect for the pros.

Please send cards and flowers to NE Methodist Hospital, Room 911 while I recover from hernia surgery.  My forearms hurt so much from gripping the dolly that I can't even hold my **** to take a piss.

[bigpook]

Screw that. We paid a moving company the last time we moved. They packed up all our stuff and loaded it, delivered it and brought everything into the new house.
There is no way I can move all our stuff by myself anymore. I liked it better when we were younger and had less stuff. Much easier then.

[keyboardlover]

No way I'd let movers touch my Realforces. I'd handle those babies myself

[itlnstln]

Damn straight.

[wellington1869]

Screw that. We paid a moving company the last time we moved. .

seriously, i'm done with moving myself.  I swear to never lift another frikkin sofa bed as long as I live.

[itlnstln]

So anyway, tonight, I am having a baby back rib sandwiches (bones removed, of course) and salad.  For lunch, I am having Campbell's Chunky Soup of some variety.  Maybe, I'll be a pro (American) football player if I eat enough.

[wellington1869]

for the next few days i'm having veggie burgers (still havent recovered from the 'mechanically separated chicken' episode).

[erricrice]

for the next few days i'm having veggie burgers (still havent recovered from the 'mechanically separated chicken' episode).

Guh yeah.  That was pretty bad.  I thought it was taffy before I clicked the link.  Nearly died.

I had BBQ Chicken Wings for dinner.  With the bones.  Probably still processed in some way.  The fries were to die for though.

[wellington1869]

i'm convinced that perhaps 75% of the taste with meat comes from the sauce or the marinade. Take chicken for instance. Chicken meat by itself has very little inherent "taste." Its things like bbq sauce or honey mustard that makes it so delicious.  "You could put that stuff on a shoe and it would taste pretty good to me".

Do you have the link for that?

[wellington1869]

Do you have the link for that?

you mean the mechanically separated chicken episode?

[itlnstln]

Damn, I was hoping for a video.  That would explain the air bubbles I see in the chicken breast behind the deli counter.

[itlnstln]

Here we go.  This is what I was looking for:

[itlnstln]

This one is OK, too, and the music is epic:

fs=1&hl=en_US">

[itlnstln]

No, actually, these are more like advertisements for the machinery, so they don't show things like the chickens going to slaughter.

You're right about Health teachers, though, mine was a football coach.  I bet your son won't drive like a douche now.

[zefrer]

OCN members do taste like chicken come to thing of it.

Someday I'll chew on the wrong one and get my head bit off though.

Baking Electronics I guess is popular there.

That particular baking is for fixing graphics cards believe it or not.

The story is that nVidia graphics cards specifically, over time, develop loose contacts on some of the capacitors and etc soldered on to the board and it no longer works. So what do you do? Bake it! That reseats the loose contacts and the heat liquifies to a degree the solder which then hardens in the new spot. Result is a somewhat fixed graphics card that previously would not boot. Doesn't last long but still..

If you search long enough someone may have confused it for his dinner tho.. :)

Some of them do. It's a known issue on my Thinkpad T61...some people actually fixed the issue by baking their Thinkpads in their ovens. I just sent mine back to the manufacturer for a motherboard replacement =)

[wellington1869]

oh. jesus.
i dare not click.

[itlnstln]

Dude, don't be a ****. Click it.  There's even soothing music for your enjoyment.

In reality, it's not all that gross.  I have pretty much made stuff that looks like that when making gyros, meatloaf, pate, etc.

[wellington1869]

I'm a ****, I admit it.
I'll prolly click on it but I need to build up the courage first.

I dont like what goes into the production of modern meat. The scale of it, the horror of it, and the bacteria of it.
I dont want to give up meat altogether (all things in moderation, and all that) but i'd like very much to scale it back a lot.

I have intermittent success with that. Sometimes I go a whole week without any meat and it feels great, i lose weight, and have a freer conscience. Would like to maybe eat meat twice a week at most.

[wellington1869]

spinach pie with feta for lunch.
Take that, chicken machine!

[itlnstln]

Like I said, I am having a rib sandwich.  My mom made some baby back ribs, slow-cooked using a dry rub.  Slap some rib meat on artisan sourdough and... damn!

Speaking of mechanically separated:

Ouch, that sounds like it hurts!

[itlnstln]

Personally, I prefer Jerkins or Lubrisperm, but hey, different strokes for different folks.

[microsoft windows]

Right now I'm making some lamb chops and will have apple pie for dessert.

[wellington1869]

after a very long day at work (including an after-hours moonlighting job that just paid for my lcd tv), I'm about to bite into:

1. Subway veggie 6" sandwich
2. half a spinach pie with feta
3. strawberry yogurt

hmmmm, leftover lunch for dinner!

Pasta Puttanesca

[lmnop]

the "Seafood Sensation" at Subway was my favorite. basically a lobster, crab and mayonnaise spread. I used to get tomato, lettuce, onion, extra cheese, extra mayonnaise, bacon, pickles, olives, salt and pepper, olive oil.

I ate it once a week for 10+ years until they removed it

[keyboardlover]

Made myself a turkey sandwich with cheddar and grilled it. Mmm...

[lmnop]

Dangerous Dan I love you!

West Coast Style

- Farmer market Green beans
- Saffron rice (I cheat - out of a box)
- King Salmon grilled
- Special Mayo/Pickle/garlic sauce
- Farmer market French Bread (some fancy name)
- Dry Gewurtraminer
- Shrimp appetizer

I'd take a pic but it would just make you hungry.

damn, your dinner kicks my dinner's butt.

[lmnop]

sounds good. I like grilled salmon

Pasta Puttanesca

looks good



with an interesting history

Another story about this dish's origin comes from author and chef Diane Seed in her book, Top 100 Pasta Sauces (p. 20) ISBN 0-89815-232-1:
 My introduction to this famous pasta dish occurred when I overheard two elderly priests discussing the pros and cons of spaghetti alla puttanesca ("****'s spaghetti") as they deliberated over the menu in a Neapolitan restaurant. Made of ingredients found in most Italian larders, this is also known as spaghetti alla buona donna - or "good woman's spaghetti" - which can be misleading if one is not familiar with the ironic insult figlio d'una buona donna - son of a good woman.[5]
 
To understand how this sauce came to get its name, one must consider the 1950s when brothels in Italy were state owned. They were known as case chiuse or 'closed houses' because the shutters had to be kept permanently closed to avoid offending the sensibilities of neighbors or innocent passersby. Conscientious Italian housewives usually shop at the local market every day to buy fresh food, but these "civil servants" were only allowed one day per week for shopping, and their time was valuable. Their specialty became a sauce made quickly from odds and ends in the larder.
