Thursday Dinner Club

[want2live]

Hope this is not a silly idea, but I am going to cook something good from the comfort zone tonight, and humbly invite you folks to join me by doing the same.

Perhaps a Thursday night tradition?

Rules:

1. Dinner should be free of any HCV related conversation and thought. Put it away for awhile and try to enjoy yourself like you used to.

2. Must be one (or more) of your favorite things to eat.

3. Post what you are having so we can all get drooly thinking about it.

This is such a sweet idea - thanks for doing this want2live and getting this thread started.

I am cooking a pot of vegtable stew for dinner this evening which my husband and I will probably nibble on for a couple of days afterwards. I am also making some homemade biscuits (ok they are Grands by Betty Crocker) and a cold cheese and tomato salad.

For desert, we are going to have a chocolate chip cookie with a wonderful milk chocolate/vanilla DOVE ice cream bar!!

Let's see since I have gianed SO much weight on tx 30lbs so far and everyone is away for the night I think I will have a ribeye steak on the grill (62 degrees in Nashville today) cooked medium and a tossed salad. I'll skip the bread though.

MikeSimon- did you really know the difference or did you look it up? and if you do know than that means you probably know how to cook all of them so when are we having a BarBQ at your place?

To supplement Mike's exhaustive definitions:

Spare ribs are what you typically get a rib house--lots of bone, meat on either side, slow cooked.

Baby-back ribs are smaller than spare ribs. Chili's or Appleby's makes a big deal of theirs. I can't taste any difference.

Country Spare ribs look like pork chops and, to me, are not "ribs". They can be cooked higher temps and shorter times than spare ribs.

When I think of ribs, I think spare ribs.

I have no idea of what I'm having for dinner tonight, but omelettes are high on the menu these days (Western omelettes most likely since there is a ham in the fridge) and salad. I used to be a good cook before everything made me nauseous.

This is a great idea!  I've really been having a problem these days with descriptions of dinner.  Set it in front of me,  I'll eat it, but don't describe it to me.   Reading through all these sounded wonderfull but has just about done me in for dinner tonight.  Sorry hubby, he'll have to make his own way through the kitchen.

Thanks to the thread (and to you, want2live), I have been inspired. Tonight we're having organic lamb sausages with browned onions, garlic smashed potatoes, peas, and a salad. (They were in the freezer).

I really like to cook, but these days it's just so hard. Can't wait till September (last shot 9/3, last riba 9/10).
