Dear reader: I beg you to tell me what you had for supper last night.
I was scheduled to the teeth this weekend and very little cooking went on. (Though I did manage to get certified in CPR and drink beer in a bar with the baby.)
Friday was Buddha Pie. Saturday was a 3 p.m. clubhouse at Axis. Tonight I fell into a pile, so Wayne made pasta, a creamy, no-recipe crazy-ass Wayne pasta with shrimp, white wine, butter, mushrooms and pepperoncini that was out of this world.
The house was too disastrous to find my camera to take a shot. My eyes are so done with the day, they’re bleeding. The laundry is Mt. Etna.
So: You?

Sunday night we had slow cooker chicken with home made teriyaki sauce. Another KT creation.

It was that kind of weekend for so many – you, however, are now a life saver! I bellied up to the peninsula and made a giant batch of tomato sauce. Enough for 3 freezer containers and a giant meal and many more meals to come. I know you’ll have a recipe soon enough but I like the classic onion, garlic, bouillon cube, bit of sugar, salt, pepper, wine (generous) and lots o’ fresh basil added right at the end – and of course tomatoes. Saute all veg, add in wine, let it boil off, add bouillon cubes, salt, sugar, add tomatoes, simmer, blend till smooth, more wine, salt, pepper as required – basil at end. Then I got ambitious – zucchinis about to bid adieu to this world got thrown on the bbq after being tossed with garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper and some italian sausages (separately on the bbq, not tossed with the zucchini). Then I did the crazy…went to the Chopper and bought pre-fab garlic bread. A no-no in our house but what’s a gal to do when she wants something?? (It was divine, btw!)

Mmm getting hungry and inspired reading about what other people eat.
We had sushi in a bowl. Brown rice topped with julienned carrot, cucumber and red onion, avocado. Along with shrimp stir-fried in lemon juice, tamari, and garlic. Once the shrimp are cooked I add wasabi paste to the sauce left in the pan and this becomes the sauce for the whole dish. Then to finish it off I top it with nori sheets cut up into bite size pieces and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds.

Huzzah!
This is wonderful, folks.
Gelstein: See “January Pasta” for my favourite tomato sauce these days.
Dylan: On a scale of one to 10, how useful is a slow-cooker for a half-vegetarian household that doesn’t eat a ton of beans?
And speaking of vegetarians: Wayne’s in good company. There are so many great veg ideas above. I swear to god I’m going to figure out how to make your recipes searchable here. And then none of us will ever go hungry again.
Please keep your delicious instructions coming.

Pretty useful I’d say – Krystyn is making chana masala in ours as I write this (or more specifically, she started making it before she left for work) so there are definitely some good non-carniverous things one can get up to.

Krystyn adds that you could probably make tasty fish in a slow cooker, and Google concurs: http://bit.ly/9KNdXn

I just discussed this with Wayne and we think we may need a slowcooker! Is there a Cadillac of slowcookers, or are they all the same?

I don’t know if there’s a Cadillac of slow cookers … I got mine for Christmas year before last but am just really figuring out how it works. My goal this week was to make all slow-cooker dishes (except for tonight when I’m home alone and made that yummy Thai soup you suggested a while back. did I mention it is YUMMY?). Aside from the pulled pork and pulled chicken, every recipe is vegetarian – chana masala (chick pea curry), minestrone soup, aloo gobi (potato and cauliflower), and a pasta concoction. For the last one, basically the slow cooker will turn my tomatoes into sauce over the course of the day and I can throw pasta in for an hour at the end. Oh, and stuffed peppers, which are more balanced than some of the other dishes because of the black beans in the bottom. Oh, and a butternut squash thingy …. And I only just realized that I planned way more meals than days in the week 🙂 I’ll let you know if it succeeds (Or if you see a pizza delivery man at the door, you will know it didn’t).
