I invited a friend to come watch the game with us tonight. I asked him on Tuesday, and he asked if he could get back to me, and I said yes. He finally let me know last night at 10pm he's coming!
I've got no food in the house, a conference call at 9:30, a brunch/networking with a colleague at 11, and probably won't be in a position to shop until 1pm or so. So, most crockpot meals are off the table at that point, even if I had inspiration.
And I don't want to spend hours preparing food today. I've got a ton of other work to do.
Here's the pain: He can't eat tomatoes. Any time I think of something easy to make, it always has tomatoes in it.
I'm sure I'll come up with something. I'm just venting. Thanks for listening!
Re: Regrets about inviting a friend over tonight - what to make?
I hate when that happens, a friend takes forever to get back to you so you start getting used to the idea of him/her not coming over. I'm sure you'll have a fun night!

this can be done in the crock pot, or just on the stove...
step 1: pick meat of your choice...chicken, beef roast, pork loin, hamburgers, ribs, whatever you have
step 2: place in crock pot or pan
step 3: cover with 1c. ketchup and a can of regular or diet coke
step 4: let simmer until meat is cooked and sauce is thick and tastes like bbq sauce
when i was still eating meat, i would make this allllll the time. The meat falls apart and is soooo tasty! i actually did it for the super bowl last year for my meat eating friends with chicken, when the chicken was cooked, i shredded it up and served it on dinner rolls as sliders.

This sounds good -- i'll have to try it another time, since we can't do the ketchup! But thanks -- going in my files!
I bought 2 rotisserie chickens from the market, and some fresh bread and cheddar cheese. I'll make grilled chicken sandwiches -- chicken sliced up, in the skillet, melt cheddar on them, and place on a toasted roll.
Thanks for all the ideas, guys! Helped get my juices flowing!
LOL I thought you said he loved tomatoes!!! Yeah bruschetta wouldn't be good than.. I think Rotisserie chicken would be great and the sandwiches sound good
