What's for dinner? # 2

[Inertia]

So its the first day of winter - and we decided to ring it in with style...

Osso Bucco on mashed potato and pumpkin followed by a nice warm self saucing chocolate pudding. Yum!

Indeed. It was the first way I liked pumpkin - until DH introduced me to butternut, which is yummy any way!

Sounds delish Niliac! We are having chicken too, but a little less on the extravagant. DH wants another Chicken Cacciatore, so I'll be throwing that together tonight.

Haven't worked out dessert yet. chocolate mousse i guess.

we are having soy anf ginger steamed snapper with grean beans and bokchoy rice and mango tiramisu for dessert feeling exotic

OK, question here - how many of us have dessert as a regular thing (eg: every night or nearly every night)? Or more than one course at an everyday meal?

We rarely have dessert now (since we moved to Nth Qld and DP started drinking beer instead of red wine he is not as keen, and I am less inspired to make it if I'm the only one to eat it, especially now that we have a kiddo), but on the rare occasion that we do it is something thrown together like fruit and cheese, or a few pieces of good dark chocolate, or a bowl of ice-cream or sorbet, or I might poach some pears. I used to bake a lot but don't really have the time any more, or maybe it's a colder climate thing? Hmmm, it's got me thinking. Now I want dessert.

ETA: not sure what we are having for dinner. We've been packing all day, so probably something from the freezer. I think there's some goulash in there somewhere. Or Moroccan lemon chicken.

its only an occasional thing in our house, but does tend to happen in runs of 3 ights in a row then nothing for 2 weeks.

tends to be basic thought eg ice cream or cakes bought from bakery, or frozen cheescake rom supermarket or those mini microwave puddings.

Last night we little lemon tarts from bakery with ice cream and tonight or another night this week i have the very yummy king island belgian choc desert things delicious expensive but yummy!!!!!!

I'm meeting one of my best friends partner tonight (he just flew in from the US yesterday), they are coming for dinner. So we are having:

Antipasto with Brie, Sharp Cheddar, Procuitto and Warm olives w/Chorizo

Baked Chicken with Mushrooms, tomatoes & Brandy, on sauted spinach w/garlic and Cauliflower rice.

Pears Poached in red wine with syrup and vanilla bean ice cream.

And lots of red wine and laughter (and maybe even some coffee table dancing )

Oooh everyone is having fancy stuff!!!

Spag bog here tonight - and I don't have a store bought sauce, so I'm just gonna chuck everything in, close my eyes, and hope it comes out edible.

My word, Niliac! That sounds absolutely amazing. I hope you have a wonderful time (I am sure you guests will with a menu like that!)
