What's for Dinner #8

[Naomi]

Well I dug out our old Pie Magic and I'm making some beef (and hidden vege) pies for Hugo's dinner. Fingers crossed he eats it!

We'll be having chicken cacciatore with rice and veges, eventually, when DH gets home from work.

[Patricia]

I have always wondered what the Pie machines are like ...do you use it enough to justify buying it Naomi?

[Naomi]

It was a gift ... we've used it twice including tonight :hehe: but it was a hit tonight so we'll use it again!

[Leigh]

T-bone here :)

[purple_kitten]

we ended up having snags with macaroni cheese.

I have always wondered what the Pie machines are like

mum gave us a purple pie machine for xmas last yr. It makes 2 pies and they are so yummy. You can be so creative with them. i think the are great value.

[nj27au]

We were naughty and had Red Rooster tonight. I love their chips.

[~CJJHRA~]

[Naomi]

we're going to a friends house ... he's an older bachelor male and he just rang to let me know he was making 'toddler friendly' food so I don't need to bring food for Hugo with me. I thought that was lovely that he'd even think of that. (I don't mean we'll all be eating mush tonight :hehe: just that it will be straight-forward food that Hugo can eat too).

[Patricia]

Aww how thoughtful of him Naomi..I hope you all have a great evening out..Hugo included :)

[Naomi]

Thanks patric :) me too ... considering the small boy hasn't had a nap it could be a bit iffy, but we'll see how it goes :)

[Di Nana]

That is so thoughtful of your friend Naomi, sometimes I think these bachelor men are more considerate than husbands, my son is one he is 29 and he is so lovley to his sisters and he loves Briar to bits buys her little pressies and is beautiful to watch with the baby, but noway wants one himself:ots: sorry have a nice night:yes:
I am not cooking as I don't do Fridays, come to think of it I don't do any night cooking, amazing how long the gas last on the cooker:hehe:

Oh god I am sooooooo. hungry after reading what you are all having:d: there is no one here but me, so no point cooking and setting the table and sitting all by myself, who will pass the salt;(
anyway not to sure about the gas top, was leaning a little to close into the nice dinner my hubby was cooking the other night, and now I am missing one eyebrow half a fringe and numerous eyelashes, my fault I should never have gone near the dam thing:P

[Telori]

We had roast chicken and potato bake, baby carrots and peas with gravy...but I cheated and bought it from Summer's work :hehe: And it was worth every cent.

[Naomi]

We're having a late one ... chicken and salad wraps. DH is just putting Hugo to bed now and we'll organise it after that. (Hugo had porridge and yoghurt BUT he ate the whole lot! And he ate heaps at lunch too, YAY!)

Just salsa, chips, guac, tortillas and one cheese enchilada. Oh and 3 margs on the rocks

[Telori]

We had pasta bolegnase (sp)...I didn't feel like long strings of spag last night so I used pasta...easier for the boys too and I didn't want to have to clean them up!...we ate after our baths last night...But I'd had it simmering for half the day, should have taken stuff out for the boys earlier...

[grammyjo]

It's too hot to eat so we'll have a taco salad & watermelon.
Lots of fluids.
Jo

[Telori]

What's a taco salad? sounds like something spicy...

[yomamma]

????????????????????????
no idea

[grammyjo]

taco salad is layered spicy chips, lettuce, tomato, olives, choice of chicken or hamburgar, onions, sour cream, taco sauce & shredded cheese. You layer how ever you want making several layers of the same item. That's just the basic recipe. It's like a taco only in salad form. It's good, fast & great for big parties.

[sjc]

Don't talk about dinner, I had the roast chicken and vegies all ready to cook and the electricity went off. It didn't come back on until 5.30 too dam late I thought, so we had "Catch what you can" and besides I was too exited about the new bubby to worry about cooking. So it will be roast chicken tomorrow night.

[Patricia]

Got that chicken all ready tonight then Sheryl or are you still too excited to cook..I know I would be.
