My grandmother used to make chocolate butter cookies with chipotle. Oh, soooo yummy.
Chicken nugget leftovers have edged into breakfast territory (I'm a horrible adult, don't be like me).

I have no illusions about food only being appropriate for certain times of day.

So in the end I went with cubing the chicken, sauteeing in oil and butter with mild herbs, then tossing that, bow tie noodles, canned cream soup, pasta water, frozen veg, sour cream and parm cheese into a dish and baking it all together as a cassarole. I topped with fried onions mixed with potato chips and more parm. I thought it was going to be too heavy or bland but it was good enought that even the girls finished and the wife and I had seconds.
Tonight: hibachi at a local place. My wife got a Groupon so we're going out and bringing the girls with us for a family date night. We've been here before so the kids will like the hibachi and my wife and I LOVE the sushi. For a place in suburban MN it has great, fresh sushi as good or better than stuff we've had in Minneapolis.
Oh man I've been looking forward to this all week! I even ate light today: so far I've had a bran muffin, some breakfast sausage and an apple. Think elastic waist pants are tacky to wear out to dinner?
I made some chicken curry soup the other day. It has been my primary food group since having been made.

I baked a big salmon filet and have a bunch left over. Not sure 'salmon salad' is a good way to go. But what else do you do with the leftovers?
Mix 'em with some rotini, some chopped veggies of your choice, and a lemon juice/olive oil/herbs vinaigrette, then let chill overnight. Before serving, grate on a little parm or crumb on some feta/goat cheese.
Yeah, I was gonna say casserole.
I've never had good luck with re-cooking salmon. I'd say go for the salad, and add a good amount of dill plus extra pepper to the vinaigrette. Alternatively, Penzey's sells a smoked Spanish paprika to which Crazy has become addicted. It works miraculously well with salmon, although it is a bit fussy about heat, so it's best to sprinkle it on just before serving. A little bit goes a long way, too.

Omelette, with goat cheese or brie, arugula and capers. Serve with a dill, Dijon, and yogurt sauce on the side and a a bloody Mary, if you are into that sort of breakfast.
Came down with wicked congestion. Do I go to the sandwich, or do I have the sandwich come to me today?
Let the sandwich come to you.
You'll appreciate it more when you don't have to put effort into it
It was finally kinda warm here in Madison today, so the food carts were out on the Library Mall. Unfortunately I had like 25 pages to read in Tale of Genji before class so I didn't get a lunch.
There's this one food cart, Umami Buns, that I've been hankering for. They have really awesome Japanese steam buns, and my favorite is spicy bulgogi. Holy crap good. 3 buns + wanton chips for $10!
Wednesday can't come soon enough.
Wanton chips, eh? *waggles eyebrows* Tell me more.

Feed it to the cat/throw it in the garbage, as you should do with all seafood.
Congestion be darned. I need this coffee. :|
It is finally warm and sunshiny in the TCs. Soon there will be farmer's markets and spring gardens. Soon there will be FRESH asparagus. Soon...
Until then store-bought asparagus in olive oil with pepper, parm cheese, and bacon.
Congestion has migrated to mostly ears. Now ears are ringing.
I wish today had been burrito day :(

I did that two weeks ago and ignored it, which is why I'm now on a 10-day course of antibiotics. And chicken soup.

Been there, done that. =/

I still want to hear more about those indecent and possibly dirty chips meatrace was eating.

Have you never had fried wantons? It's like that without the filling.
And the carts were woefully absent, I had to make due with shwarma and moussaka.

Is that in any way akin to dirty rice?

Made my own chicken strips yesterday, pan-frying them after double-breading, once with flour, once with roasted garlic panko crumbs. They were so easy and much more delicious than anything from fast food places! I've pan-fried chicken before but it sometimes doesn't cook through before browning properly. The strips were thinner than whole breast filets and cooked better.
Go me!

I've had them often. I was just hoping my play on words would be caught the second time around. It's why I usually use the spelling "wonton" so as to avoid confusion. [/humor fail]

Wanton soup is souper sexy.

Chew on some red peppers. Clear that out fast.
That and do the thing you do on the airplane where you hold your nose and blow. had 3 expensive trips to the ear doctor before they showed me that, cut my visits in half afterwards.
Last time I did that, BMW, I got an ear infection and pinkeye.
Never again.

Yeah, it actually makes the problem a lot worse. I've gotten into the habit of doing the saline rinses, plus, the doctor gives me stuff to put in them which treats the congestion and swelling. I still get the occasional sinus infection, though. Wonton soup is a wonderful way to soothe the soreness and get my nose unplugged.

The redpepper are intended for internal use only...
*Looks into the 'fridge* Hmmm. Chicken. Does this sound familiar to anybody? *Looks into the pantry cupboard* Hmmm. Tuna. Okay, maybe with noodles or penne pasta, dill, and pepper in a light sauce of some kind. Or actually, with that paprika that Crazy is crazy about. That takes care of tomorrow. Saturday is every man for himself, and Sunday will be the ginormous pan of lasagne. That works.

No, goofus, the blowing your nose thing.

I had a burrito this afternoon. And the sun was out. And I feel better. It is a good Friday :)
We're going out for Indian food. Beef vindaloo here I come!
Protip: If you're melting chocolate in a boiling water, don't use heat resistant glass
Hmmm... Waffles vindaloo...?
Sean's last day? Now I'm all depressed, even with waffles.
I could go for some waffles...

See, I was sad, but this perked me right up.
And Sean rides his waffle into the east...
O. M. G.! I must make these soon: Baileys Irish Cream Pancakes. And a Kahlua version.

My wife and I made bahn mi sandwiches for dinner. They were amazing, even with their lack of waffles.
Just got back from playing in the "Skull & Shackles" game. I drank too much rum. And there were no waffles.
We had pancakes with strawberries on top this morning. Looking at campsites for this summer this afternoon. I found one with tide pools with starfish in. Very excite.

Just find a spot you like turn around three times to flatten the grass and lay down. Done!
