sweetowen: I thought I start a thread to see if we can get & give different ideas on dinner ideas! Enjoy!
I'll start it off... my friend invited me over for shrimp scampi & salad tonight.
May not be having anything special tonight, but last night had a stew I threw together at the last minute for unexpected company. It wasn't too bad, but could have been better.
Well, half a portion.... I guess the idea when you strain the water is to put something underneath first.... and not pour half of the Tortellini into soapy dishwater.....

Sorry about you losing 1/2 your dinner...yes, a colander helps.

I hadn't really thought about it, and hate cooking for one...but I might just go all out with a chicken leg, rice and asparagus. Now you've got me hungry and a full dinner sounds really good. If anyone is close enough and wants to join me, I'll make enough for two!

Cooking is a passion for me. Even though my daughter's grown & out of the house, I still love to cook great meals just for me. Then I make sure I have enough for my lunch the next day. It makes my coworkers' mouths water!

I have leftovers, and was thinking of having them tonight...but it's only baked beans. This made me think about it and I've discovered lately that I actually enjoy cooking a little bit. (Never will it be a passion, though.) Now, when I return to the work force, I'll have to keep that part about making their mouths water in mind!
There are times when I bring in a bit extra for them, depending on what I've made. I know the one guy won't eat my food because he's a vegetarian. Well, that is, if I've made meat.
Once we were having a get-together for a holiday in our building, & we each brought in a dish. I brought in a crock of broccoli-cheese soup. They were all RAVING about it! When they asked me for the recipe, I said, "It's actually very simple. I open the cans, pour in the milk & stir!"
I had taken the easy way out & bought Campbell's soup.
I'm having salmon fillets, brown rice cooked in stock, and salad...I may have yeast rolls also...not sure if I'll have time to fix them before everyone wants to eat....

OK, never mind...I'm not cooking my dinner (shuts oven off)...I'm on my way to AL. Save me some!
