Manwich, deli coleslaw, frozen Mac & Cheese, after ordering Pizza Hut last night. Sick of being sick.

Ok Lum, you've got me curious about a couple of things.

What are savory pancakes w/ asparagus inside? It sounds like something I would love.

And, what are dirty potatoes?

LOL, Lori, got another one for you. Dh changed the menu plan from peas to fiddleheads.

Savory pancakes: per person (diabetic recipe, but I have been making it long before I was diagnosed, because it's good):

40 g flour
2 egg yolks
1/2 t salt
enough milk to make a thin crepe-like batter
oodles of finely chopped chives (optional, but great)

2 egg whites, beaten

beat batter until smooth, add chives and fold in egg whites. Makes 2 pancakes.

Cook vegetable of choice (asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower work esp. well); make white sauce w/ butter, flour and broth, season to taste and add to veggies. Fold half of pancake over veggies and voila - dinner.

You can also fill them w/ leftover meats. It takes very little meat if you chop it into tiny cubes, add a little gravy and spread over entire pancake, fold in half and add a salad.

When I wrote "dirty potatoes" I wasn't thinking. When ds was little and I served them to him for the first time, he looked at me in total disgust and said "diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir-tyyyyyyyy, Mum!". Ever since then, parsley potatoes are dirty ones at our house.
Just basic boiled potatoes, drained. Add a little butter to hot spuds to coat, chop lots of parsley finely and fold in - voila - dirty potatoes.LOL

Fiddleheads (eatible fern)

Fiddleheads! Wow.. never even heard of those. They look fun! :-)

Thanks for the recipe Lumsis. I am going to make those pancakes. They sound really tasty.

DH loves fiddleheads. I could eat them if I was starving and no other food could be found. I do like the way they look.

eta: A small eatery downtown offers fiddlehead pizza when they are in season.

Must be a down-east thing, Lori. That's why Mak knows them, too. I think you either love fiddleheads or you hate them. We happen to love them. You just boil them, drain, add lots of butter, salt and pepper and serve them. Dh ruins his with vinegar (another down-east thing), ick!

Enjoy the pancakes, Lori! They are a much-loved staple on my menu list. Delish, versatile and a good budget stretcher.LOL

Never heard of fiddleheads, I was afraid they were some sort of beady-eyed crustacean.

I made an early dinner of chicken florentine with bowtie pasta because Colossus has lodge tonight, then Colossus asked if he could take the dinner down to a (very) elderly lodge member who is alone and suffering. Of course I said sure, so I'm having macaroni and cheese and very happy for it.

Colossus is good people.

Dfennessey, unfortunately Colossus only has sisters (so he has all of the oldest son/youngest son/only son issues that go along with it. Handful!!). I could send you his single sister but I doubt you'd like it (her a handful too and the black sheep of the family for starters. Nevermind that neither of you are gay).

A lovely fresh salad with almost all organic veggies from the CSA. Had a purple kohlrabi for the first time in it. YUMMY!!! I'm now bummed we only got one! LOL We'll be trying white turnips in the pasta and veggies tomorrow night, along with more bok choy, carrots, green onions and spinach.

OOooo...found a "patio basil" plant at Sam's Club yesterday, so our veggies and pasta tonight included FRESH basil, FRESH oregano and FRESH rosemary. Turnips could have overpowered other veggies, but I only put one in, so it was fine. Loved that it was colorful - asparagus, bok choy, carrots, red peppers, mushrooms, onions, turnips, three green herbs - verra' bonny indeed. :-)

Hubby had a craving for KFC, and now I'm stuck with feeling like I swallowed a brick and it's stuck in my chest. Man I hate that oversalted crap.

Was going to make tilapia tacos, but wussed out an bought corn tortillas, fried 'em up and filled 'em with shrimp, red onions and red peppers that had been sauteed with cumin, lime juice, cilantro and garlic. Much faster - will make my own tortillas and use the tilapia with them when school is done!

Sounds tasty, Teach. I've got some Maui ribs, beet salad, and veggies w/ dip. We're finally seeing some sun in Vancouver today and I'm celebrating with vegetables. :-)

Late Lunch/Early Dinner for guests today. I served a hodgepodge of goodies: Lox (smoked salmon) and cream cheese on crackers, mini spinach quiches, green salad, chicken pizza, melted brie with raspberry jam and crackers, pomegranate/blueberry juice (with gingerale for fizz), and individual ice creams for dessert. Then we played Scrabble. :-)

I was also going to serve cheese pirogies (sp), but decided it would be overkill. LOL
