What's for dinner?

[Pauleo1214]

The premise for this one is simple, take a photo of your dinner. If it happens to be a Hungry Man TV Dinner, you will be judged, harshly.

Tonight I prepared bouillabaisse.

My kids always whine for "something else" unless it's kraft dinner or pancakes so I threw a cheap can of black beans in a pot as decoy dinner to be refused so they would shut it and eat these sandwiches. Oh also they only mess with bologna right now.... sigh. I miss actually cooking.

It's chicken nugget tuesday so of course we had chicken nuggets, curly fries, steamed frozen broccoli, and a little bit of leftover farro

My wife and I are trying for a kid. Not having a kid makes it easy for me to imagine saying that something else would be "nothing." Then again, that could lead to said theoretical kid looking like he/she belongs on a Unicef ad. Also, please tell me that's not hair on the plate.

Not Taco Tuesday? Sacrilege!

Yeah the "nothing" option is just buying yourself some "I'm hungry" about half an hour later. And no, I try to keep the pubes out of my sammiches. That's just a few decades of forks being dragged across the cheapest plates from ikea.

I make a big pot of beans most weekends and then use them to make meals the rest of the week (tacos, enchiladas, burritos,etc.).


Last night it was bean tacos with pico de gallo and fried panella cheese. Here's a terrible photo, they taste much better than they look!

Specifically chicken nuggets off the floor. Chicken nuggets served on the plate don't taste as good apparently hahahaha my daughter will throw all her food off the plate so she can eat it off the table or floor

New food cart in my neighborhood. The owner is from Bari, Italy so this pizza has been deep fried aka panzerotti. Holy shit it's good. I got the simple barese and a pesto version for my kids but this one for me has 'nduja and mushrooms.

Fuck ya! Nduja is one of my favorite sausage recipes. I’ve made it at a few of the restaurants I’ve worked at in the past. Greasy goodness

I didn't take a pic but tonight was "chopped italian". It's just the contents of an italian sub, chopped up. Not sure who thought to do extra work instead of just laying this stuff in the bread and being done with it, but....I think it's better. All the meats, cheeses, peppers, romaine, oil,vinegar, and seasonings get mixed together and seem to be more consistent across sandwich bites this way. Plus if we make too much for one sitting, the next day, after it all chilled together overnight, subjectively better.

As a general rule, yes.

However, I have a 4yo who will murder some tacos. He's our "Mikey", he'll at least try anything, and there is little that doesn't get eaten. He often eats more than one dinner. Whatever he would have normally and then minutes later, whatever my wife and I have.

On the flipside, my 8yo. Lunch and dinner is 4 Tyson Fun Shapes (dino nugs, each cut into 3 pieces), Nacho Doritos, sea salt veggies straws, and mini Nilla wafers. Only other nuggets allowed are McNuggets and Wendys. Anxiety and Autism make for certain standing items on the grocery list. He does eat some other stuff, but they aren't considered part of lunch/dinner, even if consumed directly adjacent to those two meals. Neurodivergent thinking, I suppose.

Last night I made pizza dough and cut it and shaped it into balls (or boules) this morning (well, technically my wife did the shaping because she used to work in a bakery). I also made a focaccia dough that I just finished. It’ll be ready to bake tomorrow morning.

Here’s the focaccia in the pan, ready for tomorrow:


And the pizza dough before it was cut into boules (I forgot to take a picture of the boules):

It's football season and things are cooling down weather wise, so I'm thinking it's a Chili night. Of course, tomorrow will be hotdogs smothered in chili and I'll be off to an explosive start of the week!

Lol I just bought ingredients for chili and cornbread this morning. ‘Tis the season!!

I forget who brought up the abomination that is Altoona style pizza but I found this yesterday. For whatever reason, I'm super in to these weird minor league team alt logo hats. There's a series that feature "local delicacies" so the Altoona Pizza is now found on a hat.




This one's even better!
