What's for dinner tonight?
Just put a big roasting pan in the oven filled with chicken thighs, fresh artichokes, onions, and potatoes. I doused them in good olive oil, lemon juice and herbs de provence. Wondering what everyone else had to eat for dinner tonight...

Grilled cheeseburgers, macaroni salad, sun-dried tomato hummus & mini pitas, kalamata olives and blue-cheese stuffed olives.

i'm having friends over for dinner in a couple of hours. artichoke soup, feta cheese torte {courtesy of melissa clarke in this week's times,} green beans with tarragon, tomatoes in mosto, a salad, and chocolate mousse with whipped cream and some shortbread cookies. hope they're hungry. i'm burned out from cooking and cleaning all day!

Thanks for this question!
Until I sat down to look at the latest threads, I had no idea what to make for dinner, but now I'll copy Pinotnana and grill some burgers.
Great idea!

Chicken Pot Pie, biscuits, broccoli salad & Raspberry pastry bars.

Honestly, I'll probably just make a sandwich--avocado, tomato, red onion, cheddar, and mustard on whole grain bread. I've been cleaning and organizing my apartment all day and I don't think I can handle much more domesticity.

Warm "salade composée" - glazed baby red carrots, sautéed pattipans, shiitakes and ramps, steamed artichokes, mixed herbs and baby greens with a meyer lemon and young garlic aïoli, along with halibut "en papillote" with shallot, thyme and grape tomato over roasted sunchoke purée. Pouring a Santa Inez Sauv Blanc. Making a strawberry lime granita, and got some rugelach and chocolate babka from Canter's.

Rajma (kidney beans with potatoes), unchicken tikka masala and I'm going to experiment with a side of tangy okra with dried pomegranite seeds. All eaten with a side of raita, fresh basmati rice and naan. Now I'm hungry!

Mussels steamed with red wine, garlic and diced tomato over angel hair. It was my first time making mussels and they were so freaking good (and cheap! 2# for $5)

We're having homemade pizza tonight. My fourteen year old son requested it as his welcome home dinner after returning from a trip over spring break.
dhorst at 6:41PM on 04/19/09
I work at the restaurant tonight, so I get fed dinner after we close. It's a gorgeous day out, so probably not a LOT of customers, and the rush will be late, after 7... My guess is the cooks'll be too busy at the end of the night for anything awesome tonight so probably nabe. With over-cooked shumai or gyoza melted away into it. blech.
mikaque at 6:46PM on 04/19/09
Mesclun salad, crostini w/ lima bean puree, broccoli rabe w/ capers + dried apricots

Split pea and ham soup I made the other day for both me and the Bf.
For him- he wants a cold ham and cheese sandwich and some sides like pickle spear and maybe some fries.
For me- a hero sandwich that I will add scrambled eggs and bacon to and maybe some chips.
For dessert- a sugar cookie schmeared with Nutella with sliced strawberries and whipped cream on top.

After talking with my father last night, who mentioned that he was going out for bun bo hue, the idea was lodged into my soul that I had to eat a bowl. So...for dinner tonight we ate at our favorite Vietnamese restaurant.
We split an order of banh xeo, a very large, crisp coconut water+turmeric+rice flour crepe, stuffed with bean sprouts, meat, Thai basil, and shrimp. We ate cut pieces with cucumber, daikon, and carrot slices wrapped in lettuce, dipped in nuoc cham. I ate a bowl of bun bo hue (spicy beefy lemongrass soup with round noodles, beef brisket, Thai basil, bean sprouts, lettuce chiffonade, and a squeeze of lime), while my husband ate a bowl of pho.
A hearty meal to start off a 12 hour fast.

Spent the day getting my boat ready to go fishing, so diner was a Philly cheesesteak on home made roll...wit.
dmcavanagh at 7:39PM on 04/19/09
Tonight I roasted some salmon and seabass, served with an asparagus and lemon ravioli and an heirloom tomato, fresh mozzerla salad.
Just a little something to feed the family.

I don't know why I subject myself to reading this... as I do, I'm eating Cup Noodles ("Much More Than Soup!") out of a styrofoam cup :( Sad thing is, it's better than a lot of cafeteria food!

Lasagna rolls sitting atop a lovely béchamel sauce, stuffed with spinach and sweet Italian turkey sausage. Nothing fancy, but it tastes good.
blisseau at 8:04PM on 04/19/09
seared scallops with browned butter and thyme. Deglazed the pan with lemon juice. I didn't feel like making a not side dish, so I served it over a salad using the pan sauce as dressing. Sort of a tuna nicoise with scallops instead of tuna, and no olives (ok fine, so not really a nicoise at all). I tossed the cubed potatoes and blanched green beans in some pan sauce as well. It was yummy.

whole wheat thin spaghetti alla carbonara
joyyy at 8:18PM on 04/19/09
Rice and beans! And roasted until really crispy skinned chicken thighs coated in butter and parmesan cheese.
chisai at 8:22PM on 04/19/09
Authentic, unbelievably good, basic and simple neighborhood BBQ with hot dog and hamburgers, sauteed onions two ways, tossed salad and great conversation with all our terrific neighbors that ventured outside today.
thegoch at 8:49PM on 04/19/09
We are having rigatoni with garlic, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes and grilled chicken in a cream sauce. My wife's favorite!
southeasterneater at 8:51PM on 04/19/09
It was such a beautiful day, after spending most of it doing yard work, I wasn't in the mood to cook, so we went out for hot dogs, curly fries & milkshakes...all were wonderful!
mepolo at 9:04PM on 04/19/09
Shepherd's pie (a casserole of ground meat on the bottom, peas in the middle & mashed potatoes on top) made with elk and a homemade red wine gravy. Got the elk free from a local hunter - great way to stretch the budget.
foodfreak at 9:16PM on 04/19/09
Made some venison burgers (from the Farmer's Market) with roasted peppers, mushrooms, onions, garlic, beets and potatoes served on homemade wholemeal ricotta rolls. Yum!
HappyMuncher at 9:43PM on 04/19/09
whiskey. maybe (instant)ramen later. long, slow day at the restaurant...
sailordave at 10:55PM on 04/19/09
A dozen fresh bagels from the local bagel shop and a jar of natural peanut butter with honey, all to myself. Mmm, such a guilty pleasure. And yes, I housed them all, along with the entire jar of peanut butter. I'm now basking in the glow of post-bagel and peanut butter nirvana.
cycorider at 11:02PM on 04/19/09
I love this question! Everyone is making such nice, interesting things and this provides us all with great ideas, not to mention a glimpse into what other people really are having for dinner. How fun!
yayfood at 11:48PM on 04/19/09
Baked gnocchi in a very un-traditional and probably blasphemous sauce, brussels sprouts, and salad.
dbcurrie at 12:06AM on 04/20/09
A veggie burger smothered with sauteed mushrooms and onions, and roasted asparagus and broccoli. It was awesome.
sweethunibabi at 12:31AM on 04/20/09
@sailordave--your meal sounds so Bourdain!
@cycorider--did I misread your post or did you have a dozen bagels, all to yourself, with peanut butter?
HeartofGlass at 7:58AM on 04/20/09
@HeartofGlass, nope, you read that right. Ate a burrito later that night too. I am so screwed when my metabolism slows down.
cycorider at 8:16AM on 04/20/09
We are out of town tomorrow (again) so tonight I'm transmografying leftovers to empty the fridge.
Bought some turkey pastrami and plan to make hash from roasted potatoes (leftover). Might throw in some chopped asparagus (leftover). I am planning to toaste up some rosemary bread (leftover) and make a nice green salad (already have lettuce). I have some cinnamon bread and a banana and want to make a bread pudding for dessert.
therealchiffonade at 2:28PM on 04/20/09
@cycorider--I run, but you are the mistress or master of the metabolism! I bow in awe!
HeartofGlass at 2:51PM on 04/20/09
It's recycling day today! I am making a baked fritatta with leftover roasted beets, mushrroms, onions, butternut squash, leeks and zucchini, topped with mozarella and basil. I am also recycling some homemade curry sauce into some cannelini beans to serve on the side.
HappyMuncher at 3:31PM on 04/20/09
@HeartofGlass, ah, then you understand! 24 miles, 3 of which were at tempo pace. I wanted my food. :-D (And you also understand why I was in no mood for cooking after that, and was pretty much only in the mood to go buy bagels and peanut butter.)
cycorider at 3:54PM on 04/20/09
Whoops, submitted too soon. Mistress of metabolism...gotta train just in case I someday meet Michael Phelps, so I can impress him with my eating ability as we work together to get kicked out of a buffet!
cycorider at 3:56PM on 04/20/09
Tonight it's homemade pizza and salad. Plain pizza bianca for me (mozzarella, asiago and pecorino romano), tomato sauce, caramelised onions & peppers, ham and pineapple for my OH (it's his choice, I don't want to hear anything about pineapple on a pizza being wrong:-)).
brooke29 at 4:36PM on 04/20/09
@cycorider--I definitely understand, but unfortunately, I would have to stop at a single bagel. Damn, and I thought I had speeded up my aged metabolism...and glad to know that some single SE readers don't do a home cooked meal every night ;)
Haha--I agree re: Michael Phelps, but remember he also has some 'herbal refreshment' to season his appetite!
@brooke29--ATK had pizza bianca for its 'offering' last night and I thought of you--are you sure you aren't married to a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
HeartofGlass at 5:25PM on 04/20/09
I got to cook tonight. We had grouper and red snapper, rice and a fabulous salad with tons of veggies, tomatoes, bacon and goat cheese. So good!
I just sauteed the fish, but everybody raved. It really was delicious.
PerkyMac at 12:19AM on 04/21/09
@Heart - this made me laugh!
@Perky - your dinner sounds fantastic!
brooke29 at 12:34AM on 04/21/09
It was in the 90s today, so we ate from the Bar Menu at the Four Seasons Aviara (Carlsbad, California).
Sat on the patio with a view of the water; had awesome sirloin burgers with parmesan fries, and a divine apple cobbler for dessert. Nothing fancy, but the FS makes it feel like a special occasion!
serious1 at 8:33AM on 04/21/09
A beautiful, sunny day in Portland so we grilled up chicken breasts drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with sea salt, black pepper and fresh thyme. On the side were fresh corn, squash and green beans tossed in jalapeno butter. Chocolate brownies for dessert.
Great dinner but company was even better...Brother and sister-in-law came over.
