What's For Dinner?

[Quinn]

Suggestions anyone?

Right now take-out Chinese sounds good. Except my favorite place doesn't deliver and I don't want to go out. In the heat. And the rain. And the Tornado warning.

 

Do you like Chinese food?

Shrimp...boiled shrimp and wine....going to sit in my jammies and watch the Cotton Bowl and stuff myself with shrimp.

Pad Thai, direct from the take out joint in the little town down the road.

Wow! It's Shrimp & Thai night!

We had Tom Kha w/shrimp & mushrooms & scallions that was really good!

And not Pad Thai, Stir, but chicken & green beans in a Thai peanut sauce on Thai noodles. Almost Pad Thai.

And red wine.

Very, very, very nice.

I'm enjoying a wonderful date night in.

I'm having  Rosted Chicken & Bowtie Pasta, with a Vegetable Medley. All prepasared by my favorite chefs at Stouffer's. Watching the Cotton Bowl. Rooting for Kansas State.

Hi  CC, Nice PJs.

I'll probably have a beer or few later.

These little Thai wraps that I kinda made up. Take some roasted chicken from the deli, shred it, warm it up in a pan with some garlic salt and tuck that into a steamed tortilla with some stir-fried broccoli salad, some slivered red onion and a splash of Thai Peanut Sauce - I use the "Bangkok Padang" stuff from any of several local grocers. Zap all of that under a steamer cover for about 30 seconds or so, and they're pretty tasty....

Okay, I wanna elaborate on our meal tonight. 

I love Thai. I was glutened terribly after my Celiac diagnosis in a fabulous Thai restaurant that responded so arrogantly & indignantly to my queries about them being able to provide a gluten free meal for me. I was very ill for about 5 weeks. That was over 3 years ago. I haven't been able to bring myself to try another Thai restaurant since. Thai is my favorite cuisine, so I've missed it terribly. So tonight I used some prepared foods, which I usually don't do, and it turned out quite good. Yay! "Thai Kitchen" has a canned (yes, canned!) Tom Kha. They call it "Coconut Ginger Soup". I added a little Coconut Milk & a little chicken broth & brought it to a simmer. Then, minutes before serving I added sliced white mushrooms, fresh shrimp & chopped scallions. It was good! Seriously. I'll have it again. And again. And I also made chicken & green beans & onions in Peanut Sauce using the "A Taste of Thai" kit & Mary Chung's Thai noodles. 

It was a passable Thai dinner. I quite enjoyed it. '-)
