Marinated flank steak, potato patties (made from the box) and asparagus. The potatoes turn out much better if you use instant potatoes. I think tomorrow I will grab hubs card & go get some really good Italian hoagies...like 4 of them.:-4

Pulled-pork sandwiches with salad and fries. NCAA is on, a good meal to watch the games.

Good old tacos tonight. I had a craving for them. No, I am not preggie. :yh_rotfl I just crave some weird things sometimes. It is like my body knows what it needs or something. It may have been subliminal from a comercial I saw as well. Food comercials can do that to me too.

My job lately has involved contact with a lot of chefs and has resurrected my interest in cooking.

Tonight we are having pork loin steaks with a mustard mash (Maris Piper potatoes), creamed savoy cabbage and a cep mushroom and chardonnay sauce.

If anybody needs a recipe for stilton sauce I have the BEST and EASIEST one ever! (took me about 6 tries before I got there lol) :rolleyes:

OH! My bf has also arranged for me to spend a few days with one of the chefs in one of the posh hotel kitchens! I start with veg prep - move onto meat station - then I have no idea where I am going as they won't tell me! :-2

Cool experience. There are mini chef tutoring establishments popping up in upscale shops. You pay a fee and learn to cook a fabulous meal hands on with the chef and a small group of participants.

One day Ill try this.

Stuffed shells with homemade spag. sauce, garlic caesar salad & Italian bread.:-4 Last night we made a stir fry from the left over marinated flank steak with green, red, yellow peppers, onions, peas and Chinese noodles. also made twice baked potatoes with bacon & cheddar cheese.:-4

Ok, tonight we are having peppercorn pork loin, fried potato patties & peas. It's a P night.

I usually use Old Bay if it's around, but if it's not I know what's in it and make it myself... sometimes I might even add a new spice or two to the recipe, depending upon my mood.

Pork stir fry with veggies. Darn, no dessert tonight:-5

YZGI · Post by **YZGI** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 9:05 am

Anyone here have fried green beans before? I'm sure some have. Well last night I did a variation. I had a bunch of fresh asparagus that I soaked in milk then sprinkled some flour then back in milk then sprinkled with corn meal. Fried them in a super hot frying pan with a litte olive oil for just about a minute or so rolling them around. They turned out legendary.

Love stir fry.

Nice salad and a rice cake on the side, TKD nights are small meals. But I don't get very sick anymore from running then.

qsducks · Post by **qsducks** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 6:22 pm

I should have had a salad tonight. The stir fry gave me heartburn:-5. One tbsp of baking soda in a glass of water did the trick.
