I have wanted Chinese food for the longest time and frankly just couldn't afford it so tonight I took my son and grandson out for Chinese. I'm not sure it was worth it.

Hubby hates Chinese so I brought a Quarter Pounder home for him. I think he got the better deal.

Oh well.

When I get a hankerin' for chinese food (which is rare) I hit Bel Aire Grocery Store. At 6:00 they have a 'happy hour' and their chinese food is $5 per to go plate. It's a TON of food, rice, chow mein, fried chicken leg and your choice of sweet & sour pork, orange, chicken, kung pow chicken, beef & broccoli, etc. One plate feeds 3 people (well, me and the two little kids) and two plates feeds DH, myself, and all 3 kids.

That sounds a lot better than what I had tonight and the price sure is better. We don't have any Bel Airs here though.

They had a lot of choices there and I ended up with a couple different kinds of shrimp, some mussles, some (I think) orange chicken, lo mein, zucchini, egg rolls, and a chinese donut my grandson didn't want. The donut was the tastiest thing! I kept wondering if tomorrow my new motto will be "Never eat seafood off a Chinese buffet", lol.

Next time I want chinese, seriously, I'm going to buy the stuff and cook it myself. I just did not feel like cooking tonight.

Must've been Chinese food week - we had it last night (I actually had Thai Red Curry).

Tonight- it was spaghetti, but I added a bit of Italian sausage from our local meat market. We usually go vegetarian w/our sauces, but I had a hankering for something more hearty. It was delicious - and there wasn't even enough fat in the sausage to drain it! LOVE local markets. :-)

I have a dinner question. Tuesday my family voted for tacos for dinner and in addition to them my 21 yr old was going to have her boyfriend eat over and my 13 yr had a friend over as well. So I made a lot of meat only to have dh stuck in traffic and by the time he got home was no longer hungry. Dd's friend was picked up early due to same weather issues that delayed hubby and 21 yr old ( and therefore the boyfriend) decided to just not come home for dinner. So Tuesday only 2 girls ate tacos and last night they all ate them again but I still have a lot of meat left. Looking for suggestions..... having brain fog and all i can come up with is sloppy joes. We had spaghetti on the weekend so don't want to go there again and the meat has taco seasonings anyway.

I didn`t even think about that!!! Done and thank-you. I usually enjoy leftovers better then the original meal but having the same meal three days in a row is really pushing it. LOL

One of my favorite things to make is Potato Mexicali. I put out all the taco fixings for folks to pile on their baked potato. I had it at a restaurant in San Francisco way back when.

Ha ha, isn't that funny that BR came up with such an easy solution? I was thinking along the baked potato line, but it never crossed my mind to freeze it either. Rissa, I guess we're dorks of the day

We made our own mini hot pockets. Taco, pizza, whatever. You just roll out bisquits and cut them in halves or quarters, fill with taco meat, cheese and salsa, and cook them according to the bisquit directions. They freeze great and very easy for the kids to reheat later.

Leftover chili, salad, cornbread. I think I should listen to my own idea up there and freeze the rest of this big pot of chili!! Rissa and Huk'd are 2 of my fave dorks-of-the-day.

LOL You get your mind stuck in one gear and just can NOT think outside the box. I haven't even had a sloppy joe in at least a decade but the image was stuck in my brain and wouldn't budge.

(and now I am having a chili craving :-))

I'm having seafood lasagna, frozen from the Great Canadian Superstore...I think it's President's Choice brand...it's good, but Babyruth's dinner sounds better to me. I'm too tired to cook tonight, it's the first of the month, busy, busy time at the bank.

I'm having Birdseye Asian stir fry.

This is the best thing ever! I'm slowly becoming vegetarian, and this makes a terrific meal all by itself!

Babyruth - I often have salmon with baked sweet potatoes too! Excellent!

Was going to do SW chicken - but forgot to buy chicken! A galpal's mom makes tamales upon occasion, and she happened to have them for sale today at school! Soooo--- we had a couple tamales with the beans/corn/salsa combo that would normally be in with the chicken. Perfect AND easy! :-)
