Steph, I've been trying to find out what "langusten" is and the nearest I've been able to figure is it's related to lobsters ... a form of crustacean. All references seem to be in German but I've been unable to get a literal translation.

One 'English' paragraph was, "Beside Langusten can be prepared also lobsters, emperor garnet (Scampo) and giant shrimps like the Tigerprawns in a fruchtigen Tomatensauce. All kinds of crustacean profit from slow refining by moderate heat. Thus the meat remains tenderly and juicy."

I know that doesn't read well, and don't know if that helps, but it's about the best I could do. :rolleyes2

:D

Tonight, it's a roasted chicken with steamed asparagus and a nice green salad on the side. Then later...I'll sneak into the kitchen and abscond with the carbs I so desperately need!

Thanks for the langusten updates! I'm craving seafood now!

Man, I really think I'll be having a healthy dinner of Mr. Freezies and juice. Too. hot. to. cook.

What I am craving...not necessarily what we are having for dinner...

Romaine Lettuce with chicken, strawberries, blueberries, walnuts & poppyseed dressing... yum... :D

1 pkg. (10 oz.) romaine salad greens
1 pkg. (6 oz.) OSCAR MAYER Oven Roasted Chicken Breast Cuts
1 can (15 oz.) mandarin orange segments, drained
2 cups sliced strawberries
1/2 of a medium red onion, sliced (I omit this and replace with blueberries)
1/2 cup PLANTERS Sliced Almonds or Walnuts
1/2 cup KRAFT Special Collection Creamy Poppyseed Dressing

TOSS romaine in large bowl with chicken cuts, oranges, strawberries and onion.
SPRINKLE with almonds or walnuts.
DRIZZLE with dressing.


Steph - with all of that multi-cultural cuisine you are making me wish we lived near you! :D

OMG! How can you EVER omit one of the best foods in the world?!?! :faint:



I know that's not the only reason you want to live closer.

*wink, wink, nudge nudge* :rofl: :x:

Just finished the dishes.

Fried chicken breasts, black eyed peas, biscuits, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, sweet tea and brownies.

We had company over for dinner....

A huge mixed green salad, tempura zucchini and tempura prawns... and a big glass of sun tea.

:x: ;p

tonight I'm going easy and simple ... egg drop raman soup ... most of the liquid drained off ... I add a few veggies just to keep it balanced a bit... and wild cherry flavored sparkling water.

hot Mexican salami (screw you veggie salami, you imposter!) & provolone on rosemary crustini & a baked red onion (ahahaha Cheyanne, that's right!) & tomato salad


If there is a world record for Mr. Freezie consumption, I am well on the way to beating it

LOL @ Steph... I like onions! Just don't like them with my berrie!

Tonight - frozen pizza (cooked of course)..

cheddar and potato perogies with onions mushrooms bacon and red peppers with sour cream...just have to get it out of the freezer and nuke.

i'll give you a hint.....i needed that mcchicken sandwich like i needed a hole in the head :p

Spanish Rice O Roni with some burger mixed in.

*bump* soon I'll have a kitchen to cook dinner in again.

Food :D

dunno yet dinner time is too far away

Yay to the bump! I kept meaning to find this thread again but I guess I was too busy eating!

Today was a stir fry but yesterday was gigantic spareribs & a potato salad with a bunch of different mini taters with dill.

The day before was unreal! Cod, giant shrimp and scallops in bacon! I am so unvegetarian now!

On the menu for tomorrow is Artic char, eggs & seven-year-old Canuck cheddar.

Yes, I'm planning on buying a sturdier chair soon.

a salad from the salad place at the mall.....and, okay maybe i pilfered a chicken nugget or two :p

Tostitos....obviously. :rolleyes2

I had 2 soft chicken tacos... yummy

I had PB&J after I got home from work cause Boog took kiddo to Micky D's. :(

spaghetti and meatballs i think

I got caught feeding the remains of my omelet to the dog today. :blush: :D

The chef put the Arctic char in the omelet and it was a bit too rich for me. I assumed it would be on the side.

shish kebabs

mmmmmmmm^^^^^^^over rice?

yep jasmine rice

double mmmmmmmmm^^^^^^^

We were talking about a trendoid restaurant in town that serves swordfish impaled on a sword. Apparently, shish kebabs are served that way when done authentically, also.

I feel like a nerd right now. :blink:

Don't feel like a nerd, I was telling the kids and their friend who was over, something about that when we were eating them.

So, the underlying message is that you're in denial about your nerdom status, too?

Who knows? I haven't had breakfast yet!

But I *do* know I am making more baba today. :)

^^^Looking at all the yummy stuff and still contemplating that stuff Steph doesn't know wtf it is!

Shame too...cause till just this Friday I had a German girl working with me...and I am sure the spelling is definitely German and I coulda asked her for exactness. Where's "German Steve" when we need him??? *sigh*

Anyway...to get back to the topic...Mr. Lixy is in charge of meals this summer (and prolly all summer's before this one) as I have no time to plan meals and shop for them and cook. He does the BBQ thing nearly every night. Tonight we are having fresh Blue Fin tuna on the grill (mmmmmmmm), corn straight from the farm down the street (picked today) and sliced tomatoes from Jersey (baby sis...from Jersey...came for a visit last week)!

He'll grill the tuna just slightly because it's so fresh that you could use it for sushi (sp?) and it's prolly the best tuna I've ever had. His boss goes out for a day and brings us some of his catch. Can't overcook it or it'll be ruined. Has anyone ever had fresh (never frozen) tuna steaks straight from the sea to your table? OMG! It's good eating personified!!!!!

I grew up on the ocean. Not too long ago, they caught a 600-lb. tuna near my place. I wish I had been on the shore when they brought it in!

I was lucky enough to have a piece of cod almost straight from the ocean as my last meal before I became vegetarian. I think I shed a few tears at its unbelievable goodness.

Last night it was homemade chicken fajitas with rice, black beans & a salad on the side.

Tonight it's meatloaf, roasted red potatoes with dill & a local farm grown tomato salad with fresh parsley, shredded cheese & onions. :slurp:

yum^^^^

i've got a rib eye roast for tonight. i'll do potatoes of some kind and zucchini with stewed tomatoes, pine nuts and parm cheese.
last night was shrimp scampi over linguini with a salad

mmmmmm.....I love shrimp scampi!

sushi or salad....whatever I don't have to cook

had a chef's salad... again
