WHAT'S FOR DINNER TONIGHT?

[BEAVERMAN]

SWMBO says dinner for the next 3 nights is clean out the frozen leftovers so tonight she's having Green Chicken Tacos and I'm having Elk stew and bread and butter, tomorrow is Trout ( not left overs) we have a couple frozen that my 8 yr old granddaughter caught in Nov, time to cook them up so I'll smoke them with alder and apple for an hour them on to the grill to finish.

Funny . we're doing the same.  i think it will be more than three nights, though. too bad for the wife she never labels her stuff. mystery dinner for her.

Dinner Tuesday will be a 12 lb turkey that's been in there since Nov, going to smoke that one all day low and slow again with apple and alder and some apple juice for stem, very tasty that way! going to cook it here than drag it over to the Son's place to share with them and the grandkids, that wat were not stuck eating turkey for  a week!

Low energy evening tonight.
Made a pot of rice with chicken broth and added cut up mushrooms and frozen peas.
Turned out good.
Sorry to say, I didn't have enough left for fried rice tomorrow, but I do have some penne in the fridge, so I might make fried macaroni instead.
Hey, it might be pretty good.

I still make what my Mom would once in a while with leftover egg noodles, sauté a 1/4 cup of finely chopped onions or a little more, when they are soft crank up the heat to 3/4 , drop in the leftover egg noodles and a T of minced garlic and fry till they start to crisp on the edges, serve with some grated parm, great midnight snack!

That sounds pretty good, but I was thinking more like treating the penne like rice.
Slice a yellow onion into thin rings, cut up a couple of mushrooms and saute them on the flat top.
Once they are cooked, throw 2 or 3 eggs on the griddle and scramble them then mix with the onions/mushrooms then add the penne.  Then dribble some soy sauce onto that until it is all colored.  I was also thinking about adding chicken for the protein as well.
And if that isn't palatable, there's always a PBJ.     (I don't recall seeing anyone use the stooges meme, so I thought I would here)

Tonight I cooked up some garden rotini, then wondered what to add to them. Ended up using a recipe for spinach sauce from my Mom's old cookbook (name escapes me at the moment, durned aging!*).  Didn't have ricotta cheese so used cottage cheese, and instead of Parmesan cheese I shredded some mozzarella.  The later was a mistake as everything clumped together.  I should have thawed out the Parmesan!     But, my Sweetie liked it so I can't complain.  The dog licked out the pan and was busy for a long time getting everything loose from the bottom and sides!

UPDATE:  Well, I guess I forgot about making something like fried rice (fried penne?) and made Lo Mein instead, using the penne instead of vermicelli.  I am not a fan of that choice, bad decision.  Oh well...
