What's for Dinner, Wednesday, September 2, 2009?

[msmofet]

i am thinking of using the other 1/2 pound pasta and making more fettucini and garlic bread for dinner tonight. i only use 1/2 lb pasta for 4 people and sometimes the other half a box gets lost in the pantry LOL. they all loved it last night soooooooooooooooo i may make fried cauliflower, haricots verts and stuffed tomatoes as side dishes for the fetucini with alfredo or tomato sauce. i have lots of stuff to use up including some fresh basil.
well thats the plan at the moment. subject to change at any time if i get input from the family that i like (or complaints i don't want to deal with ).

what about you?

Tonight, it's polish sausage with cabbage and potatoes..... not sure how I'm doing the potato, yet.

Tonight we are having burgers on the grill and cole slaw. I just ate the last garden tomato on a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich so I hope there is another one out there for the burgers.

need advice:
i just got a request that i make mini fusilli with cheese sauce. hmmmmmmmm i have a can of cheddar cheese soup that has a date of 2007 on the bottom but the can looks fine and isn't dented or bulging is it still good? i bought it awhile ago and forgot about it because my daughter wanted it and never made it. i never use canned cheese soup for homemade mac and cheese but i want to use it if possible and i have sharp cheddar i can grate and add to it. so do you think the soup is still good? or i can just add the shredded cheddar to the alfredo sauce (i have never done that before but there must be a first time to become TNT right? maybe add some baby peas also) or just say next time LOL

Nothing special, just canned chicken, with cooked noodles, cream of chicken soup, canned peas, sour cream in it as well.

That's not squash... that is potato that was baked with butter. The sausage is polish sausage... and they are caraway seeds.

I think I might have used too much butter... lol... Paula Deen and I would get along great. Emeril Lagasse always used plenty of butter and garlic, too.

thank you. i only make a 1/2 lb of pasta for 4 people so i needed to use the other 1/2 lb of pasta and everyone loved it last night. the alfredo sauce is light without any egg yolk and not really cooked. the tomtoes were just the right size 4 nice bites. i made a fresh batch of garlic butter. i grated the garlic, a touch of ground red pepper flakes, grated romano and parmesan cheeses, olive oil and parsley and i used french bread tonight which really makes a difference.
