skymama 37 #27 June 6, 2002 Oh, no occasion at all. My parents watched this movie a few years back where everyone got together every Sunday for dinner. They make us do it now, and we rotate who cooks. It's ok.....if I have nothing better to do! So, now that I am on my own, and have to take my turn to cook, I'm not quite sure what to make, especially on a time crunch. But, you all gave me some good ideas today.AndreaI'm high as a kiteI just mightStop and check you out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hooked 0 #33 June 6, 2002 Make Spaghetti, garlic bread, salad! Lasagne has dairy, so that's out, right? You can buy prepared sauce, and "doctor" it up by adding ground beef, onions, garlic, basil, mushrooms, etc. Make the sauce ahead and then just reheat it as the spaghetti is cooking! Butter the slices of sour dough bread with butter and garlic (can be done before hand too) and bake that while the pasta is cooking. J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #35 June 7, 2002 QuoteOk, I falied to mention that when I was married for 17 years, I never did the cooking! Like a roast- what kind of cut is that, how much does 8 people eat and what do I do with it? I can't grill anything because I'm in an apartment and it's not allowed.You're screwed!Also, why did you invite these 7 people over?Suggestion: Order from a qourmet restaurant and pretend you prepared it. Works for me!"JANE, HOW DO YOU STOP THIS CRAZY THING?"Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #36 June 7, 2002 Andrea,Another thought: Your family probably already know you can't cook, so they're probably not expecting much. Hell, they will probably eat before they arrive and sneak the food into their napkins. I say throw about 8 lean cuisines in the oven. They are going to throw it out anyway and you'll probably be taken off the rotation list.BTW: Married 17 years??????? Looking at your pic, I wonder, were you married at age 10?"JANE, HOW DO YOU STOP THIS CRAZY THING?"Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #40 June 7, 2002 Lest you all think I'm the kind of girl who can't boil water, I want to set the record straight. I CAN cook. Put everything in front of me, and give me a recipie, and I can follow it. But, when it comes to figuring out what 8 people will eat with time constraints and everything, I was a little lost.So, here's the final verdict. On Saturday, I'm making chili (was that PhillyKev who suggested that?), and I'll throw together a salad and dessert. Sunday, I'll reheat it in the crock pot, and mix up some corn bread when I come home. Anyone else want to come? Now, I won't have to worry about it again until 4 more weeks for when it's my turn to cook again!AndreaI'm high as a kiteI just mightStop and check you out.

PhillyKev 0 #41 June 7, 2002 Yum...good call....I actually went out and got chili for lunch yesterday (everyone thought I was nuts because it was 90 degrees out). I couldn't get chili outta my head. I could go for some more though, what time should I be there?Free tip...add some finely chopped jalapeno to that cornbread batter....mmmm mmmm.cielos azules y cerveza fría-Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #42 June 7, 2002 And don't forget to put some beer in the Chilli...Top tip from top chilli mannie, the one and only Scotty Carbone..and If you overdo the spice, you can put in some demerara sugar to temper it a little, just a pinch tho...CyaDGR# 37Remember how lucky you are to see and touch the sky; the blind may only dream.

jfields 0 #43 June 7, 2002 The chili should work well. Here is a second free tip: make a lot.When I make chili or soup, I take an ordinary recipe and multiply it by somewhere between 6 and 10. I have a huge pot I "liberated" from a restaurant where I used to work. Now I make that stuff in quantity and freeze most of it. It lasts for a good long time in the freezer. In my freezer right now, I have homemade cuban black bean soup, split pea soup and chili. I also make mean pasta fagioli, but you need to eat that right away or the pasta soaks up all the soup.Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
