What's For Dinner? - 2020

[klunick]

Husband said we are having Roy Roger's tonight. Fine by me.

Think I'm going to have a toasted, or grilled, cheese and tomato sandwich. And another peach for dessert.

Did my shopping yesterday. WORE ME OUT! However, if necessary, I could go six months without buying anything but bread and eggs. I'm STOCKED! I did manage to score some really pretty tomatoes...not "home-grown" pretty, but "grocery store" pretty. I keep them on my counter, but did stick one in the fridge to chill, and had a wonderful tomato sandwich for supper! Took everything I had to slice the silly thing, I was so worn out!

Tonight...um. Dunno. I'm between roast beef and cheddar sandwich, ham and Swiss sandwich, or hot pastrami and Swiss sandwich. I cleaned and did laundry today, and am kinda wiped out...again!

Breakfast: One slice of Great Value NY rye bread toasted with sunflower seed butter sample. Yuck, it was so bitter! Also 2 diced up Kiwi.

Lunch: Veggie sammich on Great Value NY rye bread toasted, mayo, red french, sriracha, swiss chard, tomato, tortilla chips, dill pickle slices, kiwi, mozzarella cheese. Something went wrong with this mix, probably the kiwi.

Dinner: Practiced making a stir-fry, I have a few more ideas of how to improve it.

I have half of a nice chuck roast in the fridge. Half was used for beef stew on Thursday night. I'm going to make beef pot pie with the rest of it tonight. With a bit of pickled cabbage.

for dinner last night i had a veggie wrap and cottage cheese. for breakfest this morning i had oatmeal, cranberry juice and canned pears and lunch i am havimg spinach, brown rice and salad. i told the aide that i don't want anymore canned fruit or cranberry juice. the only other juice they have is oj but that is not vegetarian. i am going to ask my brother to bring me some v8 juice and bananas so i can get some potassium.

 

[maggiedemi]

the only other juice they have is oj but that is not vegetarian.

What is in the orange juice that makes it not vegetarian?

 

[muffy]

oĵ has omega 3's in it usually derived from fish, anchovies in partidular. when i was in the hospital they gave me oj that had vegetarian on the carton. i have never seen that in a store.

 

[LTS3]

What brand of orange juice was it? Tropicana has a Heart Healthy orange juice that does contain omega 3 in the form of fish oil and fish gelatin.

I think I'll make a quick pasta with butter and frozen veggies and grated Parmesan cheese for dinner.

 

[muffy]

i do not remerber what brand of oj it was. i did a search and could not. find any oj that was vegetarian.

We had cottage pie tonight.

Salsa's (Mexican restaurant)
Husband will have burritos. Youngest and I will have nachos. Oldest will miss out because he is working.

 

[rubysmama]

Black bean burger tonight. And another peach.

I'm still filled up from earlier today - we treated ourselves to another new veg breakfast/lunch spot that makes delicious bowls. They opened this year and only serve cold bowls now but plan to start serving warm bowls once the weather gets cooler.

Yeah, I was looking at some Omega nut butters and they all had fish in them! Weird. There must be some vegetarian form of omegas they could add.

another peach.

I wanted to get some peaches in our Aldi order, but there was a peach recall! So I tried to order a Peach Salsa, but they wouldn't let me have that either! I was craving something peach.

that makes delicious bowls

Well aren't ya gonna tell us what is in the bowls? I just can't guess.

 

[LTS3]

There's a list of vegetarian sources of omega 3s here: 15 omega-3-rich foods: Fish and vegetarian sources Nuts, flax seed, seaweed, and kidney beans are some good sources. I'm not sure if any of those would affect how orange juice taste, although I'm surprised orange juice that contains fish oil as the omega 3 source doesn't taste fishy.

Freshly squeezed orange juice obviously won't have any added stuff to it. Commercial brands that just list 100% juice as the ingredient are just that. Fortified juices may contain vitamins and minerals from animal sources. Google is no help with coming up with orange that is specifically labelled as vegetarian or marketed towards vegetarians.

Commercial brands that just list 100% juice as the ingredient are just that.

Good idea, thanks. I'll look for ones that say 100% Juice.

Breakfast: Aldi Millville Oats & Honey crunchy granola with Sun-Maid dried mango and regular cow milk. This dried mango is so hard and chewy! It's really different from other dried fruits like cranberries and raisins.

Lunch: Veggie Sammich on Aldi Turano Panini bread toasted, mayo, red french, ghost pepper sauce, Aldi sharp cheese, raw broccoli, tomato, swiss chard, cucumber, green onion. I love this bread, it's so huge! The ghost pepper sauce burned me into next week.

Dinner: One hard boiled egg, tortilla chips, and a roasted tomato, broccoli, onion, garlic mix. I put red jalapeno sauce on top. I really liked the egg with the tortilla chips! My brother puts eggs on Mexican food.

Is a green onion a Shallot or a Scallion?

Very colourful, but like M maggiedemi , I can't tell what's in the bowls either. Well, other than the blueberry, raspberry, and pecan.

I wanted to get some peaches in our Aldi order, but there was a peach recall! So I tried to order a Peach Salsa, but they wouldn't let me have that either! I was craving something peach.

A peach recall too? The ones I bought were Canadian origin, so ok, hopefully.

Is a green onion a Shallot or a Scallion?

I posted that question to Google, and here's the answer.

The true shallot is actually a bulb with a more delicate garlic-like flavour than an onion,
while the scallion, also known as spring or green onion, which is thin, with a white bulb
and edible stalks, is in fact an unripe, sweet onion that is picked before the bulb matures.

So sounds like a green onion is a scallion.
