What's for dinner?

Loeffelholz · May 2009

James Bond loves good food, and...since this a Bond fan site...and I love to eat... B-)

I thought it might be interesting to have a culinary thread. What are you eating right now, or later today, or what did you eat just a while ago?

I'm very fortunate, inasmuch as Mrs. Loeffelholz is a wonderfully accomplished cook, who seems determined to assure that I don't depart this world in an 'underweight state'

Tonight it was Asian stir-fry. Over white rice (spiced up with some soy sauce) is served beef and crab meat, bean sprouts, snap-peas, carrots, broccoli, onions, mushrooms, green peppers and bok-choi in a Szechuan sauce. With vegetable egg-rolls and sweet & sour sauce on the side. Beverage: domestic American beer (Natural Light, by Anheuser-Busch*)

I've been instructed to say that we've got plenty for everyone, if you're in the neighborhood!

My meal was not as exotic as your Loeffelholz but it was delicious. My wife made a pot roast with potatoes, carrots, and onions slow cooked in a crock pot for 6 hours.

Dan Same · May 2009

I have simple tastes. My favourite food is Spaghetti Bolognise. Recently I had some pizza (cheese and tomato), which was great.

Mr Martini · May 2009

My favorite thing to cook is Garlic Shrimp Pasta. A little time consuming, but well worth the effort.

You need:

Pasta (any type should do, I prefer Barilla Thick Spaghetti )
About 4 to 6 cloves of minced (or chopped)Garlic (I've used 8 to 12)
1/4 Cup of Parsley (dried also works, use less than a 1/4 cup)
1/8 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
2 Tablespoons Corn Starch
1/2 Cup Of Water
2 Tablespoon Of olive oil
1 Can 16 oz Can Of Chicken Broth (any brand will do)

Start heating your pasta water now. Turn burner to high so it comes to a boil quick.

Open your can of broth and put in a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of water and two tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix throughly.

Heat your frying pan and add the 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is hot add the Garlic, Parsley and Cayenne Pepper. Cook for 20 t0 30 Seconds then add shrimp. Cook shrimp until Pink. Once the shrimp is cooked get your broth and mix throughly again. Add broth to hot frying pan and begin to stir broth and shrimp. By this time your pasta water should be boiling. Add pasta to boiling water. The pasta should be cooked by the time the broth thickens. Drain pasta and add to the frying pan. Mix for about two minutes then serve.

Mmmmmm, Mmmmmmmm, good. I hope I haven't forgotten anything. i did that from memory.

Lexi · May 2009

well I was at the pub last night, trying to play pool (not great, to say the least ;% ) - my head hurt this morning, so I'm afraid it was a dirty Maccy D's for me

)

However I am cooking chicken now (Roasted, to have cold with boiled new potatoes and salad for later, while watching BGT) and probably some wine, to help with my headache

Golrush007 · May 2009

I live in a university residence, and the food is pretty average, so nothing too exciting to report. 8-) Going home next week so looking forward to some better food!!

Lady Rose · May 2009

Cooking really isn't my strong point and there is a large collection of take away menu's in my kitchen where the food should be ;%

As it was the BGT final is was pizza courtesy of Pizza Hut tonight, washed down with some wine and 'half baked' Ben and Jerry's

When I put my mind to it though, apparently I make a mean Shepherds Pie and I'm not too shabby with a roast dinner either

....

My favourite food is curry. Friday nights usually - very easy for Dad to do at the end of the week

Tonight he did a BBQ.

Hot Dogs to start - proper sausages! not those awful tinned things....

sardines - the first time i have ever tried them and was not impressed. started off well but far too many small bones that i wasnt keen on, even after being repeatedly told "You can eat them!"

sweetcorn - on the stick variety

chicken and red/green peppers -done on skewers and dipped in mayo

mini roasted potatoes with butter - yum!

cucumber

big tomato - a rare as i usually prefer the mini ones

lamb chop - another first and something i am keen to have again!

beef burger - no onions or sauce - no nothing! i decided considering how much else i had had id better try and be a tad more healthy...

... but that was chucked clean out the window when i later had 2 Roses chocolottes

Sounds lovely!

Tonight it's a lettuce (iceberg) salad for starters, with croutons and French dressing. Then a ribeye beef steak, cooked outdoors on the grill (cooked 'medium'), plus sweet corn on-the-cob, with butter...

Higgins · May 2009

my wife is away for 4 weeks, so, I have had white aspargus with sauce hollandaise in pancakes.

BBQ'ed german sausages and beer tonight as the weather is brilliant!

Mister White · May 2009

My wife was out to a lecture yesterday (she's an accupuncturist) so when she got home I had dinner ready for her.

As it was a very warm day I had made a Greek salad with cucmber, tomatoes, onions, green olives, fetta goat cheese and pesto. For meat we had delicious mergez sausages.

With that I served rice with raisins, butter, pepper and sugar.

We usually split the cooking based on who has the busiest day. Tonight however we are eating out, as it's my mother-in-law's birthday.

scottmu65 · June 2009

For my main meal today I had something simple, new potatoes, bacon and beans, it was nice but not very filling so I then made a cheese and tomato pizza which was soo nice! I also eat alot of cheese toasties through the day.

Loeffelholz · June 2009

Tonight it's barbeque pork ribs, baked beans and pasta salad---very 'summer'

TonyDP · June 2009

Now this is my kind of thread.

After seeing Terminator: Salvation today, my brother and I went to one of our favorite restaurants for an early dinner and got one of our favorite combos: a surf & turf of chicken breast teriyaki and lobster pie, with a side of spinach rice pilaf and a couple of strawberry margaritas to top if all off. All in all, not a bad way to end the weekend.

Krassno Granitski · June 2009

This morning I cooked scrambled eggs with American cheese, ham, sliced tomatoes, with biscuits, washed down with some ice cold Orange Juice, coffee black, no sugar.

Lunch was nothing special.

For dinner I Bar-B-Q'd marinated diezmillo para abar (sirloin steak) with green peppers, serviced with Monterey Jack cheese. Rice, beans, homemade salsa, and corn tortillas. A hefty protion of sour cream, guacamole, and fresh limes! Cold coke for the beverage.

Now that is my kind of BBQ - and it sucks that I now live in a flat (apartment) with no outside - so no BBQ

(Probably one of the only things my ex was good at

) )

Aww, thanks for that. You never know, I might just take you up on that offer

Higgins · June 2009

...but contact me at first, Asp9mm may be here and you don't really want to meet up with him.

He's not used to be in touch with the opposite sex and drinks too much beer for his size

Barbel · June 2009

Bride Of Barbel's a vegetarian, which (to quote Pulp Fiction) pretty much makes me a vegetarian too. That's okay, mainly, though it does mean that every time I'm eating solo I tend to go OTT on the steaks, hamburgers, etc...

8420 · June 2009

I just love food (I'm Not fat) :v I am having waffles ,beans and fish cakes later :x

Lexi, I've also got a BBQ. You could come over to my house instead!

RogueAgent · June 2009

Baked Lemon Fish and some mixed vegetables dish. Looks good...

But I'm hogging out on Crunch 'N Munch until dinner's ready.

I love Crunch 'n Munch...but right now I'm snacking on Cheese Nips while I wait B-)

Loeffelholz · June 2009

Tonight's one of those nights when busy schedules and tight timeframes prohibit the leisurely preparation of a fitting repast...

It's frozen pizza---but good! Supreme---sausage, pepperoni, onion and green pepper---baked at precisely 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 14 minutes. Delicious B-)

Dan Same · June 2009

Last night I had two pieces of my Mum's chicken schnitzel as well as toasted bagel with caviar (not real caviar). It was a great meal.

Krassno Granitski · June 2009

Just got back from an all you can eat "Chinese" buffet;

Plate one - Tossed Salad with tomatoes, onions, cheese with ranch dressing. A corn and peas mixture as well as a sea food combo - Shrimp and crab.

Plate two - Chinese Stir-Fried Noodles with a large amount of Huy Fong Chili Sauce, Coconut Shrimp, Orange Chicken, and wanton's.

Plate three - Crab legs with hot melted butter....

I am now going to pass out!

Loeffelholz · June 2009

I love a good Chinese buffet...ironically, one of the best I've ever eaten can be found in Lincoln, Illinois...a small operation called 'Chopsticks' B-) The owner/proprietor, a Chinese immigrant who works endlessly, is a friend of my mother's...and we go there whenever I come to visit...

At the Loeffelholz residence, tonight featured another long-standing tradition: "Clean out the refrigerator" night! Leftover BBQ pork ribs, with hash brown potatoes and corn-on-the-cob. Yum yum!

Napoleon Plural · June 2009

2-for-1 hotdog type thing at Banger store in London's Victoria Station last night.

A bit of a mistake.

Also trying out the Cabbage Soup Diet.

This is also possibly a mistake...

TonyDP · June 2009

Last night it was sauteed shrimp over ziti in a light marinara sauce, with a little bit of heat and a little bit of garlic. Add in a nice, thick slice of Italian bread (buttered of course), and a couple of mozzarella sticks to round it out and it's the next best thing to being back in the Old Country.

What's for dinner?
