Gone all day, so had Applebee's Santa Fe Chicken salad done curbside -- DH and I both enjoyed it, and the best part was we didn't have to chop all the veggies. :-)

Took mom out for dinner last night, She had matzo ball soup and potato pancakes and blintzes. (Her appetite has been so much better lately, its a genuine miracle!) I had a yummy red-pepper quiche.

It's Karen's - kicked up a notch.

I chopped onion, garlic, ginger, zucchini, red pepper, and mushrooms. Sauted the first three in oil for a couple minutes, added mushrooms, cooked a couple minutes more, added zucchini, cooked a couple minutes, then threw in shrimp. Seasoned it all w/salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.

Mixed up 1/4 C soy sauce, 1/4 C water, 2 TB brown sugar, 1 TB cornstarch and 1-2 TB chili hot sauce. Poured that over shrimp and veggies and stirred until thickened. Served it over the chinese cooked noodles (not oodon, thinner than that - but they cooked in 3 minutes).

That's my recipe?? The sauce is nearly identical to a redeye chicken that I make, but I don' remember posting that. But I'll take credit for your tasty meal! :-)

We're getting take out of sorts tonight. Too hot to cook.

BTW, Teach - what do you use in your homemade taco seasoning? I posted one in the "From Scratch" thread a few years ago and then promptly lost my hardcopy of it, and that thread has been removed now. Can you share your mix?

It IS your red eye recipe, Karen - I just added the cornstarch in w/the soy mix to speed things up. With shrimp, no extra cooking time needed, so it was ready in 15 minutes or so.

My taco seasoning usually includes garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, red pepper (either flakes or cayenne), cilantro and lime juice.

I'm home alone tonight so I'm having a glass of wine and baking myself a potato. Nutritious, I know :P

Take-out Mexican tonight, so I had mole and poppers. Dessert is blackberry shortcake (we're trying something new- not sure how it will be!)

Teach, what is mole?

Mamie, I had a glass of wine, chips, and some cookies. So on the nutrition scale, you win.

Mole [pronounced mo-lay] is the most amazing thing in the world. It's so good you could eat it on kleenex. It's a sauce made up of a variety of things, depending which type you get (green, red, brown, poblano, negro) but they all have a variety of peppers, a hint of chocolate, cinnamon, garlic, onions, etc. I have a friend who makes it from scratch--it's no easy feat and it takes a long time--and his recipe has 17 different ingredients (this was for a brown mole). He was trying to teach me to make it because I love it so much, but I can buy it a half block away and that seems much more sensible to me.

Here's a recipe from Food Network that looks pretty authentic: link

Mole is a wonderful, rich Mexican sauce usually made w/chicken. I have a fantastic recipe from Emeril, but it's really time intensive. To see the ingredients, CLICK HERE. It's got everything from nuts, to tomatoes, to chiles to chocolate! Delicious if made correctly, but I've also eaten some pretty nasty mole too.

Pistachios and diet ginger-ale. I may add some spirits to my ginger-ale shortly.

Chiles, with chocolate and cinnamon. Hmmm...that would be a new experience for sure but after your raves, I'd certainly want to try it. However, there's a slim chance of finding it where I live. Cuban yes, but not so much Mexican. But it sure sounds interesting.

What did you put it on, Teach? Your poppers?

fired up the smoker - cooking a turkey breast, sausages, brats, hot links, and a rack of ribs. I made stuffing (from a box), green bean casserole, mashed potatoes & gravy, steamed cabbage w/bacon, canned cranberries, german choc. cake and choc. pudding.

we'll eat on this for days

We are having a huge blowout for my brother's 50th birthday tonight. Lots of good stuff! They have gotten one of those super-duper grills for the festivities. Can't wait.

Portuguese Chicken, steamed veg, and roasted potatoes, with a galpal at Churasco restaurant. (DH's poker night, so I went out with her so as not to be underfoot.)
