I I like it even better than brown rice or pasta.<br /> I am intrigued by all sorts of exotic meats and would definitely give kangoroo a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner/page/2#post-144945 Sun, 18 Apr 2010 02:14:08 +0000 chewyspaghetti 144945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have some great cooks here!<br /> Tonight I made chicken enchiladas. The last time O made them they were *so* good, and this time they were just ok. I don't know what I did different.<br /> I don't think that I could eat kangaroo, but there are lots of animals that I can't eat- buffalo, goat, rabbit, veal, most seafood.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner/page/2#post-144916 Sun, 18 Apr 2010 00:43:10 +0000 Dusty 144916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last night we ate out (it was just okay) and tonight we had Honey-spiced chicken with carrots and grapes on rice and a salad (and then we went to McD's for cheap dessert). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner/page/2#post-144909 Sun, 18 Apr 2010 00:16:26 +0000 anne 144909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim, I though the roomeat might raise a few eyebrows!. As Fi said, it is a lean red meat. It is not really mainstream in australia (though a staple for indigenous australians and for early settlers) and I am stilling getting used to the idea<br /> It is hunted in the wild. There are heaps of kangaroos - it isn't endangered or anything!<br /> Here is a bit more info<br /> <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-488902/Eating-kangaroo-meat-cut-green-house-gas-emissions.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new.....sions.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144821 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 19:33:55 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 144821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim - Kangaroo is a very lean red meat.</p> <p>We met friends very briefly at a wine bar last night (at a favourite place of mine called Terriors) for a quick drink and some shared plates of food. The star was a plate of grilled squid with a aioli.</p> <p>Tonight we had falafel and I made a potato salad with little new potatoes and a tomato salad drizzled with lemon olive oil. Kind of bits and pieces put together.</p> <p>Hanna - Malayasian food is my favourite. There are some fantastic Malyasian restaurants in Wellington, NZ and if I get home this week I will definitely be indulging! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144715 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 12:42:36 +0000 Queen Mum 144715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debora- I'm calling the authorities </p> <p>Anne- kangaroo? does it taste just like chicken? I guess I'm really uninformed but I had no idea you guys ate kangaroo down there. facinating! Do people hunt them in the wild, or are they raised on ranches for food like cattle? Hmm....the longer I think about it the more disturbed I am getting of the idea of you all eating kanga and little roo ;-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144711 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 11:04:31 +0000 April 144711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>S.O. is here for the weekend so we went to one of Philadelphia's vegetarian Chinese restaurants. It was fabulous: we had vegetable dumplings, General Tso's "chicken" with steamed broccoli, and Tofu Home Style. Yum.</p> <p>Debora -- there goes that Mother of the Year award! Damn, and you were so close. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144699 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 09:36:23 +0000 rute 144699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made grilled salmon with broccoli (wich my daughter loves) and strawberries for the desert.</p> <p>We love fish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144698 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 09:20:54 +0000 bigi 144698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smoked mackerel with steamed potatoes, cucumber salad and sour cream (no dairy for me unfortunately, so - a soy alternative). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144681 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 06:23:52 +0000 Tansie 144681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sat. morning here, but last night we had what my husband calls "prison food". There is no recipe for this delicacy but it involves onions and garlic, various spices, capsicum, tomatoes and sometimes corn. I serve it with rice and chopped avocado on top. I really like it! My poor, long-suffering husband doesn't but still gets to eat it about once a week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144675 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 05:27:13 +0000 elpgal 144675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cooked up a storm today - chickpeas with kale, roasted cauliflower, potatoes and broccoli, lentil soup, rice. Hopefully, I won't have to see the inside of a kitchen till Mon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144653 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 03:31:39 +0000 marianna 144653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We ended up going out for Korean BBQ. Delicious and really healthy (no carbs!) but expensive. I need to learn how to cook. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144639 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 03:17:56 +0000 Debora 144639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My son had frozen Eggo waffles while my husband and I had heavy hors d'ouevres at a fancy event tonight. Does that make me a bad mother? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144617 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 01:32:25 +0000 anne 144617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sat morning here too.</p> <p>We arrived home from our holidays to discover our freezer had gone on the blink (while my inlaws were here) Consequently our fridge's freezer was jam packed so I tried to relieve the pressure.</p> <p>We had spaghetti bolognaise (sauce from the freezer) and peas. The sauce was made with kangaroo, which I am trying to use more, as it is more environmentally friendly and healthier than beef. And we had a blackberry and apple tart and icecream from the freezer, which is untypical of me, as I don't usually buy this type of desert. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144611 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 01:00:37 +0000 Angie 144611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, I want sushi tomorrow night! </p> <p>Michelle and hanna, when are you inviting me over for supper? </p> <p>Sure Maya, Indonesian translates well into vegetarian cuisine. We often eat veggie Indo. </p> <p>Rosie, don't forget to have your carrot cake :0)</p> <p>Theresa, your supper is often our brekkie. Very yum.</p> <p>Agrace, no cook books. It's all in my head - which is why I am the WORST person to ask for a recipe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144606 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 00:47:09 +0000 Sandra 144606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our fridge is overflowing with veggies from the CSA box and eggs from our chickens, so I think it's going to be a chard and green garlic souffle tonight. With wine, of course, as always. I'm also going to make a salad of red cabbage, red onion, red pepper, cherry tomatoes and feta cheese in a thyme vinaigrette. We're not vegetarians, but we eat that way several times a week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144597 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 00:16:25 +0000 Kristine 144597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, it all sounds good!

I just know that I don't want to cook tonight (my knee doesn't like me standing for long periods of time)! Probably leftovers, or whatever my husband brings home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144587 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 23:52:42 +0000 Theresa 144587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agrace I know that feeling - the girls both have loads of allergies and so do I, but I'm now tolerating a lot more, so I cook myself very different meals to them - and of course there are days when they just simply want to eat different things so I often end up cooking 3 meals just to get everyone fed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144585 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 23:49:48 +0000 agrace 144585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's probably a disgrace to call what I make curry but nonetheless, chicken with vegetables in a red curry sauce that will have lite coconut milk (for my husband and I) with steamed rice. For my children, that chicken with veggies and rice. I'm something of a short order cook often times b/c we have numerous food allergies in the house!</p> <p>Angie, did you use a cookbook to make those dishes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144580 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 23:43:52 +0000 hanna 144580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i try to prepare malaysian food as much as possible here, so tonight it's:</p> <p>masak lemak cili api (or cili padi) -- a spicy coconut gravy spiced with turmeric and bird's eye chillis, with chicken and potatoes. the closest approximation i can find online is at <a href="http://everydaywife.islam4parents.com/2008/11/free-printable-recipe-ayam-masak-lemak-cili-padi/" rel="nofollow">http://everydaywife.islam4pare.....cili-padi/</a></p> <p>ikan bakar -- grilled fish wrapped in banana leaves - <a href="http://rasamalaysia.com/grilled-fish-with-banana-leaf/" rel="nofollow">http://rasamalaysia.com/grille.....nana-leaf/</a></p> <p>...with a healthy helping of warm white rice of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144572 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 23:30:08 +0000 Theresa 144572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Rosie glad to be of inspiration!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144568 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 23:26:15 +0000 Rosie 144568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Toast and peanut butter is one of my favorites.

If I go that route I'll steam some asparagus to go with it.</p> <p>Hmmm, Corey just voted for guac burgers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144531 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:20:56 +0000 Rosie 144531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All you ladies are making me hungry! Angie, yum. </p> <p>I have some leeks I have to make and a new CSA box I have to explore when I get home. I will probably get some chicken to have with my leeks. Also, it's Friday so a piece of carrot cake might be in order! </p> <p>On the topic of food, I just got a rice cooker for the first time. The one I got is by Lotus Foods and comes with a steamer, too. (Big discount if you order 4 instead of 1.) It is all stainless steel, so no weird chemicals to leech into food. My mom got one, too, and between the two of us we have made a variety of things apart from white, brown and wild rice, including farro, lentils, even beans. Throw your veggies in the steamer towards the end, even cook seafood in it! I sound like an infomercial, but talk about something that can create a really easy meal or sides with sooo little work! I highly recommend it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144525 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:15:38 +0000 marianna 144525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No idea what's for dinner yet. I like Vani's idea of brinner. Easy! BF and I just had a late lunch of sushi and miso soup. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144520 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:09:55 +0000 Dawn 144520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just came home from a barbecue where I had two beef burgers- I'm way too full now. I also made lemon meringue pie this evening for another barbecue which I'm going to tomorrow afternoon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144503 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:47:31 +0000 Maya 144503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I hope you will make me Indonesian food if it can be made veg friendly!</p> <p>I think we are having leftover homemade spiced veggie burgers. Not sure what's on the side. Probably a salad of sorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-for-dinner#post-144502 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:43:37 +0000 Angie 144502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yummy, Khris! Enjoy that bottle of child-free wine, Kim and you are making me hungry Louise.</p> <p>We're having ikan boemboe bali, nasi phuti, atchar and steamed broccoli. That's Indonesian for hot spicy fish, sticky rice, sweet cold cucumber salad and broccoli. I made the food yesterday and we'll finish it off tonight. Selamat Makan! </p>
