Meal idea to bring to husband's work?!


Question: Meal idea to bring to husband's work!?
My husband is working a 24 hour shift tonight, so I'm bringing him and a co-worker dinner!. What's a good home cooked meal that I could bring that would stay warm or that could be heated in a microwave!?

I just made a lasagna and enchilada casserole this week, which I wished I planned one of these for tonight instead!

Thanks! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would make up meals of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and either green peas/carrots or green beans!. Just some good-ol' home cooking would probably be very welcome!.

Maybe make individual banana puddings for dessert!. I've never met a man yet who doesn't adore banana pudding!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Does your husband work like a microwave oven - how can he work a 24 hour shift in one night!? Take him some hard, dry and curly cheese sandwiches or the next thing you know if you make him something good he'll like it and work these long shifts all the time!. Make him suffer a little, make him appreciate his warm bed at home!. Never allow him to think you are enjoying having the house to yourself, leave him all your dirty crockery to wash, dry and put away, show him who is the boss, burn your bra, join the movement, send the joining fee into my bank account!. You know it makes senseWww@FoodAQ@Com

My sister!.
Here is a recipe that would suit your needs to a T, and impress your good man fellow!.

Bread Fritters;
Go to the bakery section of the store where you normally buy bread!.
Ask the baker for an "unbaked" loaf of bread!.
He must put exactly the same amount of dough he would have used to bake a bread with in to a plastic bag for you, and it would cost no more than a loaf of bread!.

Take that home and in a pot warm some cooking oil to about half the depth of the pot!. (Smaller pots take less oil than bigger ones do)!.!.!.
The oil temperature should be medium hot!. (About half the heat that the stove plate will go)

Now cut from the unbaked dough a slice about the size of your palm, and with a little water on your fingers (to prevent the dough from sticking to your hand), stretch out the dough in all directions until it is about the size of your whole hand including the fingers!. That brings the cutting of dough to about twice the size it was when you cut it!.!.!.!.

Now with care, drop the stretched out dough in to the hot oil!.
It would rise almost instantly!.
Fry it in the oil until it is golden brown all over, taking care to turn it over occasionally!.
It would be puffy and crisp when done!.

With a large ladle or sieve, scoop out the bread fritter and place on an absorbent kitchen towel to rid it of most of the oil still on it!.
Repeat this process until all the dough is done!.

These bread fritters are extremely filling, and can be cut open and filled with almost anything from grated cheese to minced meat to cold processed meat, syrup or jam!.
Try it, you will probably have some left over for two or three days, which you can take to work if you like!.!.!.!.
Bread fritters can be frozen and warmed up again if you have made too much, but the dough cannot, so rather make the whole lot and freeze what is left over for another day!. If you decide to freeze them, do so without a filling!. Fillings should always be made fresh!.
Finger snack variety;
By making the bread dough cutting about half the size when cutting off the raw dough from the batch, you can make smaller sized bread fritters and fill them with fancy foods like tuna mince or savory beef mince for buffet snack parties

Fried chicken is great even at room temperature or cold!. Salad with everything in it, and the dressing on the side, to be added at the last minute!. Buy a family sized mac & cheese to be microwaved when they are ready to eat!.The name brand ones are pretty good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Chicken and dumplings, beef-vegetable soup and cornbread, spaghetti, also--most men love sweets, too!Www@FoodAQ@Com
