OT/MISC OT/MISC Quilt Squares or just "What's for Dinner?" Sunday, March 17th, 2024

[Seabird]

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! It's 80 degrees with a white clouded blue sky!

Spring break is over for us and it's back to the wood pile! It's been a blessed week and very productive.

We have 2 weeks left before the big move, 8 days from getting the keys to the new house. So, needless to say it's been crazy busy. I am moving because I needed to reduce how much it costs to live, and in the effort to go down to just one job. I am praying it turns out as I hope. The hardest part is that I still am working the second job and trying to pack for the next weeks. It's been a crazy couple of months. But it will be over soon.

Dinner will be sweet and sour chicken over pasta.

How about you? Share a square or just "What's for dinner?"

Best of luck on your move We ran to Walmart just to get out ( I know) it's quite on Sunday mornings. We are having Chinese today.
Have a great week everyone!

I don't know how you do all you do in the first place, Peggy !! Plus moving on top of it all. You are Superwoman !!



As for dinner, I think just some linguini or fettucini with meat sauce, and a salad.

Everyone have a lovely week.

 

[Sherrynboo]

I found a frozen filet mignon steak in the freezer so that with a baked potato will do for today
It has been raining on and off today but I did manage to get a 3 mile run in between showers. It started sprinkling right as I was finishing up and it felt good.

 

[SouthernBreeze]

It's a rainy, dreary, and coolish day here for us. No plans to do anything but lay around and be lazy. We have books to read and soccer games to watch.

I put a beef chuck roast in the crockpot and made onion gravy to pour over it. That's cooking. I'll have mashed potatoes, purple hull peas, slaw, bread and butter pickles, and cornbread to round out our meal. Homemade warmed peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

eta. I made biscuits instead of cornbread.

 

[moldy]

Kinda overcast here and a lot to get done! Making soup and some coffee cake for our big meal at lunch (since we slept late, OK I slept late - lunch may be around 3 pm!). Soup is leftover veggies from corned beef yesterday, kielbasa, beans, and stuff from the fridge. Coffee cake will use some plums I canned a while back.

 

[SlipperySlope]

Only 60 degrees and overcast. We should hit a record low tonight/tomorrow in the lower 30's.

Dinner was a corned beef reuben sandwich with melted cheese on it in honor of my great grands who emigrated in 1905 from Ireland. I also had 3 bean salad and squash casserole.

Have a great week ya'll!

 

[Texican]

Corned beef (which is great for I grab a quick bite.), asparagus, greens and maybe fresh baked bread if the DW starts feeling better. Ice cream for dessert.

May everyone have a great coming week.

Texican....

 

[Terrwyn]

Good luck on your move and less working.
It's gloomy here in the high desert but kinda nice. I also have a chuck roast in the slow cooker along with carrots and I used beef bone broth to cook in with bay leaves on top. Will add potatoes later. Also still have to make coleslaw and finally throw together some biscuits.
I am happy to say DH is eating really well and his new nurse is great.

 

[TerriHaute]

Cool and sunny here today. We are having what we always do on St. Patrick's Day: corned beef, cabbage, and whole peeled potatoes simmered all day in the slow cooker. My mother always called this New England boiled dinner. Actually, I add the cabbage, cut into wedges, the last hour of cooking so it doesn't turn to mush. Irish Soda bread on the side.

 

[mzkitty]

Oh, I forgot -- We have vanilla Panda Paws ice cream for dessert. It also comes in chocolate and other flavors.

 

[Cardinal]

Corned beef in the Instapot, will have that with kraut (Hey, it's cabbage) and swiss cheese wrapped in an eggroll and air fried.
It is warm here, but overcast.

 

[packyderms_wife]

Well I requested steak and eggs with asparagus for lunch and got steak, half of a sweet potato, and asparagus instead. We have left over hamballs, from Fareway's meat counter, and green beans with bacon and onion for dinner.

 

[MaisieD]

We're having ribs, homemade oven steak fries, baked beans & leftover veggies.
Dessert homemade strudel coffee cake.
Have a happy and blessed week!

Didn't sleep at all last night then slept til 1 this afternoon. Raided the freezer for Chili for DH and pasta for me. Friend makes a to die for pasta sauce with hamburger, sausage, squash, mushrooms and all sorts of stuff in it. DH doesn’t like it so I eat it when I get the chance. Leftover pineapple dump cake for dessert.

 

[moldy]

@Seabird - prayers for your move, for energy and peace
@Texican - prayers for your wife - hope she feels better soon
@patriotgal - prayers that you sleep better tonight, and that all is well in your world.

Just had a visit from SIL and she took home some soup and coffeecake, so not a lot of leftovers. That is perfectly OK!

 

[patriotgal]

Thank you Moldy! I couldn't sleep for having just found out about a friend's death. I have good memories of her and will see her again someday. I also have a huge stack of recipes she gave me that need to be organized.

 

[Chicory]

Steak n mushrooms with collard greens, it’s an unusual combo for us. Just what we had in the fridge that we need to cook and use up. Laid low today after an exhausting week.

 

[psychgirl]

Corned beef and cabbage!!!
Yum!
Green beans and buttered bread

 

[WalknTrot]

It's a nasty, bitter day outside - probably around 20, a screaming north wind, and spits of snow enough to be annoying. Just came in from "last call" on chores, and the wind plus cold about sucks the air out of your lungs. The power has been blinking for the past two days, but so far hanging in there.

Supper was wild rice hotdish and steamed asparagus. Didn't do anything special for St. Patrick's Day, (even though being a good bit Donegal Irish) except taking two fingers of Bailey's to warm up my innards.

 

[Bubble Head]

Snowed in for several days. We where prepared and having the traditional corned beef and cabbage for St. Paddy Day.

 

[bracketquant]

New England boiled dinner - corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and onions, along with Irish soda bread. I had no time to make the mint cheesecake.

 

[straightstreet]

Everyone's dinners sound so good! For St. Paddy's day I usually make a corned beef brisket, cabbage and corn bread. Last year I even made Irish soda bread. This year I wanted to try something different since my Irish DH is not a big fan of corned beef. I made bangers and mash instead with a side of brussel sprouts fried in kerrygold butter and minced garlic. DH loved it!
Bangers and mash:

Bangers and Mash (Sausage with Onion Gravy) - Crunchy Creamy Sweet

Bangers and Mash - a quick and easy Irish sausage with onion gravy served over mashed potatoes. Pure comfort food for Saint Patrick's Day!

I pray everyone has a blessed week!

 

[Siskiyoumom]

Incredibly warm day with our false spring. Rain sand frosts expected mid week.

Hubby busy with outside chores and I busy with spring cleaning.

Green salad, artichokes, baked spuds and BBQ tri tip will be our dinner.

 

[Great Northwet]

We are having a sun storm in the upper left corner of the country. 73 degrees at the Ides of March is not normal so I thank El Nino for that. By next Wednesday back to the usual 50 degrees and raining

With the knowledge of what is ahead the charcoal grill made an early appearance this year so surf 'n' turf it is. Sockeye and sirloin on the grill with roasted bell peppers, bearnaise sauce over all of it.

I took a drive with the windows down in mid March...I can't believe it!

On this splendid day, the sun graced us with its warm embrace, casting a luminous glow upon the earth as temperatures soared to a delightful low 70s. As evening descends, culinary curiosity takes center stage, as we embark on an epicurean experiment. Behold, a sumptuous lasagna awaits, its layers adorned with Italian sausage, ensconced in a rich tapestry of homemade sauce and an opulent medley of cheeses. And lo, to conclude this epicurean odyssey, a lemon cake emerges, its zesty essence imparting a refreshing and delectable finale to our gastronomic affair. Truly, a feast fit for royalty on this enchanting eve.
