I'm really excited for dinner tonight

I'm marinating chicken thighs as I type in a delicious sounding store-bought lemon and herb marinade. FI will BBQ them when he gets home. I think I'll cook a side of fresh asparagus with olive oil, garlic and herbs, and rice with fresh onion, parsley and chicken boullion. And then we'll have salad with it.
I know it sounds really simple, but I haven't been cooking much lately with all the holiday insanity and then getting back into the "normal" routine, so this is a good step.
What are you having tonight?

We had Thai takeout last night. So... leftovers it is. I'm wanting pizza though.

Or I might be boring and make some pasta

<div>Popcorn flavour. It's really the only one I like - the rest just taste kind of fake to me.</div>

[QUOTE]DetArt - Leftovers rock my socks! I'm hoping for leftovers tonight so I can have them for lunch tomorrow. I never know though - sometimes FI eats a ton, and sometimes not much at all. And Mookow - <strong>I've never used a wok in my life.</strong>..I wouldn't know what to do with it... The extent of my ethnic cooking is a stirfry in a frying pan. FI and I are not adventurour eaters.

I hadn't either until tonight! FI spent a few months in Asia last year and he brought back all these recipes for things that he ate there / things he wants to try and recreate from his trip. Most of the things we've made have actually been super easy.
Married!
[QUOTE]Ahstillwell - The only things in yoru post I'm familiar with are pasta and rice (oh, and spaghetti squash), but I'm sure it was all delicious!

Haha! I admittedly eat very weird foods. Kelewele is seasoned plantain fried in coconut oil; oyakodon is chicken with egg, onion and kale in a tamari and fish broth sauce; and dal is curried lentils.

<div>Haha thanks for clearing that up! </div><div>
</div><div>I'm the first to admit that I eat basic foods, and don't do a lot with exotic spices. It's how my mother cooked too. It's not that our food is bland or lacks variety, it's just...easy to pronounce haha.</div>
