Df, if I was trying to tell you anything like that, you'd better get the Guinness Book of World Records people here!

Take out pizza preceded by 3 hours of fun w/friends (accompanied by 2 shots of crown royal). Lovely way to celebrate the half-way point of the school year. :-)

Boneless pork loin ribs (? or something like that - from Sam's Club) and mashed potatoes. Hoping to make a mango pineapple smoothie a bit later on.

I called dinner tonight " a sort of jambalaya"
All you southerners, please don't hate me for the liberties I have taken with your dish. I never actually thoroughly read a recipe for it, and bless my heart what I came up with was really good. DH wants it again. This is what I did.( And you know about "bless...heart)

1 lb chorizo sausage, cut in chunks (about 2 sausages)
1 cup frozen cooked, broken, tails off shrimp
1 cooked pork chop, left-over from the other night.
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 10oz can of mushrooms pieces, well drained
1 19oz can of tomatoes, broken up
1 box sodium-reduced chicken broth
1 1/2 cups small pasta (I used ditali, but shells, or macaroni, or elbows would be great)
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp cajun spice (or more...DH and I can't handle the heat too well anymore)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pepper

In a dutch oven or large sauce pan heat 1 tbsp of oil,
Add onions, celery, mushrooms and sausage. Saute until veggies are soft and sausage is lightly browned.
Add everthing else, except pasta and heat until simmering.
Add pasta and cook for 10 minutes or so. (Until pasta is al dente, and not mush.

Serve with crustly bread or rolls (I had ciabatti rolls)

If someone can come up with a good name for this, I'd be happy, until then it's "Sorta Jambalaya"

Roasted chicken and a new side I made up tonight. I love just plain rice with some butter but hubby doesn't. So tonight I made rice and then added a can of cream of chicken soup, poured that into a pyrex bowl, put lots of mixed shredded cheeses on top and browned it in the oven. It was delicious! Hubby and I both loved it! I love it when I experiment and it comes out good.

A bit of shrimp sauteed in about 1 tsp of butter, mixed in with some of the quick cook Chow Mein noodles (3 minutes in boiling water) and some siracha sauce.

Oooh, Mamie, that is inspiring. I should make potato soup for dinner. DH and I love it. The kids can eat hot dogs, I guess. They're too picky and don't like some of the foods we grown-ups like.

I'm more than a little proud of myself - I made homemade flour tortillas for the first time tonight and they came out fantastic! I also made chicken fajitas with fresh roasted poblano, jalapeno and red peppers. The tortillas take a bit longer than corn ones (can't use the press) but they don't require frying AND they make a lot more...so it was a delightful dinner with leftover tortillas for lunch tomorrow. :-)

Just to revive the chili debate... i couldn't sleep and was watching foodtv. the "Secret Life Of...." show came on and it was about chili. Here are some fun facts...
Chili originated in Texas with the Apache and Commanche indians using dried beef and spices....no beans.
The spanish brought cumin over when they settled in Texas and that gave the chili it's more familiar to us flavor...no beans.
Chili was first served 'officially' in the 1800s in San Antonio by the 'chili ladies'...no beans.
Cincinatti Chili was started by a greek gentleman and called Chili because he was afraid that no one would eat it if it had a greek name...no beans.
Skyline Chili, the most famous of Cinicinatti Chili's original 3 way chili has...drumroll please...no beans!!!

Thanks Annie, those are great suggestions! (A pal suggested dicing it and putting it into a stew, but for some reason that sounds just wrong. I mean I've heard of chicken stew and beef stew, but pork?)
