I think that administrators can go in an edit the name of the person that started the thread to V M or Cindy to preserve this fun thread’s authorship, I do not need my name on it as its creator. I think that Cindy started this a long time ago and V M kept it going with the next thread as the old one got filled-up. V M, we miss your presence here lately. I hope you are feeling and doing well.
Thanks go to our many frequent posters. This thread’s posts often have great recipes and wonderful pictures.

Yesterday evening I made a pumpkin spice loaf. Very moist.
I just added a few ingredients, I did not make it from scratch.
I also ate a salad. Did you have anything good to eat yesterday evening?

Tomato chicken curry, tonight a fish curry (salmon as it was on offer) Masala . Also made a northern Indian veg curry with poppy and mustard seeds as a base, butternut squash (instead of bitter gourd , recipe said so) potato, carrot, aubergine and courgette . Also has a spice mix called Patch Poran , the mustard seeds make it quite warming!!
-
Broiled chicken breasts with shells and cheese.

Lunch today. I’m at a Whirlpool appliance manufacturing facility. I visit a lot of different places in a given year, usually manufacturing facilities. Most offer nothing to eat and I go forage for whatever I can find in local shops and restaurants. Whirlpool has a really nice cafeteria with delicious food. Today was chicken Parmesan with noodles and a side of wild rice.

I am hungry already thinking about it. Maybe some mozzarella cheese too.

I was presented with fried potatoes fried with sweet pepper pieces in them, an omlet, and some bacon and sausage patties.
i have not prepared food for myself for several days now, everybody tries to feed me. I really like this!

That's sadly a rarity. Lots of pharma companies I visited had really lousy ones. I have to say that the NNSA site in Kansas City has a great one, and Sherwin Williams R&D in Cleveland also has a really fantastic cafeteria. The myriad of other places I spent time at either didn't have one or had one that made the lunch ladies at elementary school look like Julia Child.

We had two different counters, one with the slap it onto the plate style food, and one for a little more money with really good stuff. We also had a sushi bar. It seems that the wanted to keep us happy!

Will it be Cheesy Peas or a peanut butter jelly sandwich?
I will figure it out later...

I had an acorn squash with butter, and a German Knockwurst. Grapes for dessert!

Was with some friends at the restaurant "Sweet Tomatoes", a vegetarien place. I really liked their vegetarian chilli!

I haven't been to a Sweet Tomatoes in years. They were pretty great as I recall.
I had a sriracha chicken flatbread sandwich from one of the little campus cafe things. It wasn't half bad.
-
I tried making that Keto friendly Cauliflower pizza crust. Added mozzerella, pepperoni, and a little sauce and well...
It's weird. It looks, tastes, and even crunches just like normal pizza crust. It's missing that carbolicious satisfaction. It just wasn't filling. Strangest feeling ever eating that. You keep expecting to feel stuffed since it's pretty much exactly like normal pizza, but never do. I'm not sure I'd try that again despite it being quite good. I recommend you try it. It's a strange feeling. If you're on a diet and feel a must for pizza, it's worth a shot. It's right on the money as far as taste goes.
-
I found that the cheese based crusts are a bit more filling, especially if you throw in more psyllium husk or ground flax seed.

I'm doing a pasta dish. I guess you could call it Italian stir fry.
Brown up some Italian sausage, out of the casing or just buy it loose. Hot or mild, whichever.
Dice 2 bell peppers, a medium red onion, one bunch of green onions, and 2 heads of garlic. Saute them in olive oil with sliced mushrooms. Saute until the onions and peppers start to soften, but aren't mushy. Throw in the sausage, and add four diced roma tomatoes, fresh basil, oregano, and anything else you'd like, salt to taste and cook until the tomatoes get soft. Cover while you boil the pasta.
Boil up some paste of your liking (I like farfalle for this one) and toss it into the mess you just made in the other pan. Mix/toss it thoroughly, toss it on a plate, and throw a bunch of shredded Parmesan cheese on top.

I will need to try this out.
When I do not have the veggies around or simply want to add seasoning, I use something like Mrs. Dash from the shake bottle, it adds ground spices and veggies as a seasoning. There are different varieties of Mrs. Dash. This does not substitute for eating any veggies of course but it makes some vegetable dishes even more tasty.

I didn’t know anyone outside of Cedar Rapids ate goulash. Growing up in a predominantly Czech and Slovak city, you could always find goulash being served. I’m not sure why the Czechs and Slovaks brought that dish with them since it didn’t actually originate from Czech and Slovak culture.

Goulash originates from Hungary, and since Hungary and Czechoslovakia were part of the Austrian - Hungarian Monarchy, it spread to all the other parts o the monarchy and also into all countries with German language. Goulash was a very standard dish for us. But what they call Goulash here, is mostly different from the original stuff. It is made with ground beef in Minnesota and Wisconsin, I don't know about Iowa, but I bet it is the same. (germans, Czechs and Slovaks tended to settle close to each other because of the common history and culture)
The original stuff is done with stew type meat chunks (a little smaller than the typical stew chunks, and is made similar to a roast on the stove top, and paprika and other spices are added to the garvy.
There are two kinds of Goulash, the standard Hungarian style is made with beef or half beef and half pork, and the Szegedin style (https://www.daringgourmet.com/szegedin-goulash-szekely-gulyas/), which is made with pork. They stress in this recipe to use German sauerkraut only. You can get this stuff sometimes at Aldi and it comes in jars.
Szegedin Goulash is finger licking good!

That originated in Poland, but because Poland was part of Prussia, it also spread to German speaking countries. I think the Polish people also settled close to the Germans, because their food and culture is also overlapping. It is very difficult to find clear food and culture borders in central western Europe, because people moved around and married, etc. At least half of the people in the German Ruhr Valley have Polish names, because Polish miners settled there.
My case also shows that people moved around, my mother was Dutch, my father was German, and this was nothing special, because in the borders were drawn different in the days of the kingdoms and fivedoms, 150 or so years ago!
And yes, I like Kielbasa, because I grew up with it.
Another thing which is puzzling for many Americans, specifically Americans of German heritage, the dance Polka did not originate in Germany but in Czechoslovakia, and simply became very popular in Germany and the emigrants brought it over to the US.
It was pretty much out of style when I grew up, so I never learned this dance!

Now that I think of it, I've never actually ordered chop suey before. Not that I have anything against it, I just never tried it.
Tonight though, I'm having Bosnian cevapi sausage and some sort of veggies for dinner. Probably Brussels sprouts but we'll see.

The basic difference it seems, between “Americanized” Chop Suey and Chow Mein is that Chop Suey has rice and Chop Mein has noodles.
I was unimpressed with this evening’s taste of Chop Suey.

I hear than some lesbians do not care for trans-women who identify as lesbian.
I do not know if that means they are anti-trans or if are not necessary anti-trans but they do not like that the “former men” did not have to struggle with male privilege. I am unsure.

I had a discussion with a TERF one day, and she threw all the stuff at me. After I told her that I am XX karyotype and have hypogonadism, she changed her tune and all of a sudden I became acceptable, male upbringing or not!

Yup. The gyro plate is like an overstuffed gyro with extra meat, sauce, tomatoes, onions as compared to just buying a gyro. The meat and bread may be rewarmed okay. That can be a lot to eat at one seating unless you are really hungry.
This should taste just like a Greek gyro plus tomatoes and more onions.

I sauteed some oyster mushrooms in the leavings from the steak while it was resting and it was quite a nice combination.

Tonight it's baked chicken and asparagus with some Syrian cheese and Moroccan olives.
Syrian cheese was a total impulse buy at the local Middle Eastern market. It is very mild, and quite similar to Mexican queso fresco. If you've never had that, imagine a really mild mozzarella that has a slightly crumbly texture.
I can't stand the canned black olives normally eaten here in the USA, but these wrinkly salt cured Moroccan ones are just wonderful.

Hi Folks, 20 November 2019
Don't know yet. I no longer drive after sundown so I can't go to Mickey D's. Of course I don't go there when it's sunny either. I will say they are have the best "Tasteless" everything.
I do have a "Hungry Woman" frozen dinner in the freezer. Just a tad heavy on the salt.
Might try a pork flavored Raman noodle package ($0.28/pack from wally world) with fresh frozen vegetables tossed in to redeem the overall low quality of this food stuff. It does taste good, but what does it do to one's health? It's one redeeming quality: It's easy on the budget.
Maybe I'll call Jet Pizza and have them deliver a thin crust, extra sauce Pepperoni and Italian Sausage pizza with mozzarella cheese. Their pizza is good.
Now all I have to do is make up my mind which it will be.
Tune in tomorrow for the next episode, same Bat time, same Bat channel.

Ramen with frozen veggies? Now you're sounding like a student!
Tonight I'm making a cross between regular Indian curry and butter chicken but I'm using pork instead and throwing in some zucchini. Definitely not authentic but it should taste pretty good. (UPDATE: it's super good, dangerously so)

Hi Folks, 21 November 2019
It's tomorrow and now for that next episode, same Bat time, same Bat channel.
You'll have to excuse me, the Bat time slipped a bit. My fault.
Of the things I listed yesterday, I didn't have any of them; instead I had 4 frozen waffles heated in my super duper 4 slice British made toaster. To top off the waffles, I saturated them with genuine(?) maple syrup from Wally World.
This evening I had Pork Raman with a beaten egg mixed in right after the pot was removed from the electric flame. Dang, that was good. It's quick to fix, tastes great and is fairly healthy.... and cheap (about $0.80). Try it sometime.
Best Always, Love

Waffles are twice the cost of pancakes, 25cents per serving 2.98/16 versus 1.96/16=12 cents. About 180 calories, More if you factor in the need for refrigeration. I like the Hungry Jack buttermilk mix and preheat the pan to 350 to 400 degrees, measuring with an cheap IR thermometer so the first pancake is perfectly cooked.
The biggest savings for me is managing what I buy so I rarely waste stuff. I eat a lot of rice because it is easy to store.

Now I don't know if you pancake mix is like ours but I make my own as its only flour eggs and milk (or 1/2 milk/water),finished off my dry veg curry with some meat (beef) and tomato curry.

Maybe some stuffed peppers, from a frozen meal from the grocery.
Nothing hard to cook later tonight, that is for sure! This sounds easy.

I ended up not putting much effort at all eating last night.
I simply opened up a can of chicken rice soup, warmed it up, and found it better tasting than expected!
What did you have for a meal last night?

Sichuan shredded pork with garlic sauce (Yu Xiang Rou Si, 鱼香肉丝)
Ingredients
For the meat
• 300g / 10oz pork fillet
• 2 teaspoons Shaoxing rice wine
• 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
• 3 teaspoons water
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon corn starch / potato starch
For the vegetable
• 2 tablespoons Sichuan pickled chilli (See note 1 for substitute ideas)
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 teaspoons garlic
• 60g / 0.5 cup pre-soaked wood ear (about 5g dried, see note 2)
• 60g / 0.5 cup bamboo shoots
• 40g / 0.5 cup carrot
• 1 stalk spring onion
For the sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 0.5 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons black rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons corn starch
You also need
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil
Instructions
1. Slice pork fillet then cut into long thin strips (see note 3). In a bowl, rub the pork (with your hand) with rice wine, soy sauce, salt and water until no more liquid can be seen. Add corn starch then mix well. Set aside.
2. Mince Sichuan pickled chilli (or fresh chilli), ginger and garlic. Cut wood ear, bamboo shoots and carrot into thin strips. Finely chop spring onion.
3. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce and stir well.
4. Heat up a wok (or a deep frying pan) over a high heat. Pour in oil, then stir in marinated pork. Transfer to a plate when all the strips become pale.
5. Fry Sichuan pickled chilli, ginger and garlic in the remaining oil (add a bit more if necessary). Add wood ear, bamboo shoots and carrot. Stir fry for half a minute or so then add the pork. Cook a further half a minute.
6. Pour in the sauce (stir well beforehand to avoid starch sitting at the bottom). When it becomes thick, turn off the heat then sprinkle spring onion over (see note 4).
Notes
1. Substitute for Sichuan pickled chilli: If you have trouble getting Sichuan pickled chilli, please feel free to use other type of pickled chilli available (e.g. Spanish ones) or simply use fresh chilli (choose the hotness level that suits your palate).
2. Wood ear & how to soak it: Wood ear (木耳, aka black fungus) is a type of edible fungus commonly used in Chinese cuisine. It’s black in colour and usually comes in dried form. Soak it for 10 minutes in plenty of hot water (it will expand a lot) before use.
3. Tips on cutting the pork: Wet your cleaver / knife with water when slicing to avoid sticking. It’s much easier to slice a more solid piece of meat, so if possible freeze the pork fillet for a couple of hours beforehand (time may vary depending on the size).
4. Serving suggestions: This dish is typically served with plain rice. However, it’s equally nice to stir it in a bowl of freshly cooked noodles.
If you want to try it, Amazon has most of the weird ingredients. Worth the purchases. Especially the sichuan chilis and rice wine. I use those in other things. Wood ear, I admit, doesn't have too many uses past this so I tend to use those japanese mushrooms sometimes.

Perhaps a few egg rolls or chicken breast strips.
Again, nothing fancy like Sichuan shredded pork. Sounds good Julielynn.

Hi JudiBlueEyes, 27 November 2019
Thanks for the post here. You jogged my brain and reminded me that yesterday evening I took a can of SPAM out of the freezer and placed in the reefer to thaw out so I could make a SLT on a toasted English Muffin for my Supper.
Thank you young lady.

I have never been a fan of Deviled Ham.
Change of plan for supper tonight. Frozen dinner prepped in the MWave. The Spam LT will be for tomorrow's lunch with the Love of my Life, Dena.
EDIT CORRECTION & UPDATE:
The Spam LT will have to wait until tomorrow 29 November 2019. Turkey today; who would have guessed.
I Hope everyone has a Very Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks Judi.

Hi Folks, 28 November 2019 Thanksgiving Day 2019
Cooked the Butterball Turkey breast I bought yesterday. I wish I had stuck to the original plan to have a Spam LT sandwich.
I have bought and cooked turkey breasts before and they were good. This thing I cooked today sucked; what is left will go down to the pasture for the Coyotes, if even they will eat it. I have my doubts, my Coyote friends are picky eaters. Guess I have fed them too well.
Three cheers for SPAM !!! It's so good it's almost impossible to mess it up.
The thing that is really bugging me now is the crummy after taste of that lousy turkey meat. I'm sure Butterball injected seasoning into the two breasts I bought. It sure has a powerful after taste. The second breast is going back to Wally World tomorrow, The meat looks like it might be Buzzard Road Kill; whatever it is, it is weird looking and tasting.
I am going to do the Spam LT sandwich shortly after I finish this Post, which is right now.
Best Always, Love

Hi Christine,
Sorry to hear of the bad turkey. Target had Butterball turkeys on sale, but even the smallest ones are too much meat for one small person. I passed.
I'll have Spam Hawaiian style, on top of steamed rice and wrapped with seaweed.
I'll also fry it and have it with a glaze of mustard and brown sugar.

Hi Marion, Chrissy, 28 November 2019
I didn't take the turkey down to the pasture; I was afraid I'd tick off my Coyote friends so I fed it to the sink Alligator, which acted like it didn't enjoy having it crammed down its throat. I hope I can find my receipt so I can get my $20.00 back; $20.00 will buy me a lot more SPAM.
Marion, Please post your recipes for the SPAM Hawaiian and the glaze; they both sound good and I'd like to try them.
Thanks Marion and Chrissy, I'll do better next year.

Hi Folks, 28 November 2019
I did it, made my Spam, Lettuce, Tomato and Mayo sandwich on a toasted and buttered Thomas' English muffin. It was great, better than that lousy Butterball Turkey I bought at Wally World. I can assure Butterball I'll never buy another of their products.
Maybe I'll make having Spam for Thanksgiving my tradition.
Aside from going to Wally World tomorrow to get my money back, I'm going to call Butterball and complain to them.
Hope everyone had a Wonderful Thanksgiving.

Easy way to not get dry turkey is to just get one of those little roaster ovens. Put the turkey in a roasting bag, set the temp for about 35 degrees lower than whatever it says (typically around 285 degrees) to cook it at and roast it until it's 165 degrees in the breast, and 180 in the thigh. Give a ton of time. Mine took 7 hours last night. It'll be juicy and fall to pieces every single time. No need for a knife even. It was a Butterball.
Though I have to admit, that Spam sounds actually really good. Might have to give that a shot soon. I can't eat left overs night after night.

Around here there are good lunch specials during the weekdays. I had Szechan pork in garlic sauce today. I got my food really quick, ahead of the table that ordered before me. ;D

Hi Folks, 29 November 2019
The problem with the turkey I bought was it was a breast and had been infused with who knows what in the way of spices. There was no mention of it being spiced up. I like turkey that smells like turkey when it's roasting in the oven. The breast I had didn't have a nice aroma.
As I said previously, the meat, after cooking, didn't look like anything I've ever seen on a cooked turkey. Looked like something I've seen before, just don't remember what that was. It came apart in flakes like some fish do after being cooked.
At any rate, I'll be more careful next time; I'll probably stick with SPAM.

A few years ago I was looking for the best way to roast a turkey since I was tired of having uneven cooked dinners. I came across slow roasting and it is a winner. Works for any weight, and probably other meats too. I put the thawed turkey on a roasting grate in the pan, and add a few cups of liquid. I roast for one hour at 450 degrees (F), then I cover tightly with aluminum wrap and turn the heat down to 175 degrees (F), cooking at this temp for one hour per pound. A little extra time doesn't hurt. Since it never goes beyond the temp you ultimately want it to cook to, it doesn't dry out. And it falls off the bone. This is foolproof as you don't have guess about the cooking time.
Christine, I don't eat SPAM Lite preferring the original version although I can see the merits of the low sodium, low cal version.

Chrissy
Hi Chrissy, 29 November 2019
The Wally World I went to had one selection of turkey breast; I bought two of them; it didn't say which version they were. I probably got the one created for April Fools Day. Today, I returned the one I didn't open and the empty wrapper from the one I attempted to roast. They refunded my $19.92 for the two; spent it on 4 cans of SPAM. When I got home I put the cans of SPAM in the freezer. It should last until I want SPAM again.
When I was preparing the SPAM yesterday to get it ready for the oven, I sliced all the SPAM in the can, thirteen slices if I remember correctly, and baked it like I do bacon. I used two slices on my sandwich last night and ate 4 like I do bacon. There are 7 cooked slices remaining in the freezer. Think I'll make two Spam Lettuce, Tomato and Mayo sandwiches on toasted English Muffins for supper tonight.
That Bitterball Turdkey left a bad taste I need to replace with the pleasant taste of SPAM.
I was born before WWII. I remember the rationing and all the things people had to do to survive. SPAM was a staple, I ate lots of it when I was a kid in them there days and liked it then and still like it now.
Hi Judi,
I like the original regular SPAM. That light stuff has other ingredients like chicken, road kill, etc. Bought it once and after the first bite threw it out.

Yes, freezing and refrigerating stuff really adds to the electric bill, so I try not to have too much in there. I'll make an effort to make sure it is nearly empty once a year. My electric bill for a small house is under $40 a month. Oil heat so I don't use electricity for hot water.

Freezing it in the can prolongs its life expectancy.

Things keep well in the freezer. I've been thinking of freezing some money to see if it will keep its value better. Yeah, that'll work about as well as a Soup Sandwich.

How to make it :
Brown ground beef and prepare as taco meat according to the seasoning package (using water).
Pour enough fritos into a 9 x9 pan to cover the bottom.
Top with taco meat.
Combine soup and milk in a sauce pan and heat through until smooth.
Top taco meat with cheese sauce.

It was lovely and the lamb was as soft as , finished of with a stuffed paratha .

I am still in Montana with my ToothFairy sweetie at her parents ranch/home finishing up celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday time and now we are all preparing for Christmas, cutting the tree from their property and all the decorating tasks on the tree and around the inside and outside of their home.
There are 8 of here for dinner tonight so it is an all hands on deck preparation task for dinner. I am making the Beef Stroganoff, my ToothFairy is preparing the cooked broccoli and cauliflower with cheese sauce, and others are making a salad and setting the table, pouring water, etc. For dessert my ToothFairy's mother made two Apple Pies.
Quite a collection of good cooks here in Montana.
HUGS,
Danielle

I did the whole counting calorie thing for a bit and it's really surprising how little chili dogs are. I was using it as my low calorie treat for a bit. You have to shop around for better buns than normal, but I got it down to like 150 calories per dog. Damn, that was an awesome meal for weight loss.
Tonight for me was pot roast. Needed to cook up the meat I bought on sale.

Because of being diabetic, I try to keep carbs as low as possible, and I eat my chili dogs without the bun, just the hot dog onto the plate and lots of chili over it.
Tonight I was served lemon pepper chicken, with potatoes fried together with peppers and onions.

Hi Folks, 07 December 2019
I was going to post about the lavish supper I was planning and decided to can that idea and do something reasonable. So here goes:
Had two chicken fingers from two nights ago that I had frozen; took them out, nuked them on defrost for a couple minutes, placed them in the oven @ 300° for 10 min then turned the broiler on for about 5 min and they were done. Had "Sweet Baby Ray's" as my dipping sauce for the chicken, a bowl of Bush's Baked Beans with the same BBQ sauce and a bowl of Maruchan Pork Flavored Ramen, a glass of milk and a small bowl of Strawberry ice cream.
I'm Stuffed.
Best Always, Love
Christine

I keep my carbs low just to keep the weight coming down. I'm close to 200 pounds and decidedly need to lose a lot more. What's some of your favorites then? I'm always on the hunt for low carb meals. They always seem to be filling without being heavy in the calorie category.

I like meat, cheese, dairy, vegetables, fruits, seeds, and tofu BUT I certainly enjoy the carb laden foods, such as potatoes, rice, breads, etc.
I try hard to avoid food with added sugar.

Before my daughter moved in, and took over my kitchen, I lived mostly on veggies and fish (and once in a while I indulged on Air Fryer French Fries). These days I eat what she puts in front of me (she is a very good cook), I just watch my carb intake.

No washing up for me either as out for Hot Rod club Christmas meal, cheese and leek tart starter, roast turkey main and toffee apple crumble for pudding .

Cheeseburgers and onion rings.

Hi Devlyn, 10 December 2019
That sounds good; so good you should have that for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It'll do wonders for you.

I made some good lasagna last night. I did not eat much of it though.
I will warm some up and have some this evening.
Chrissy

I will be eating barbecued chicken with potatoes.
-
Taco meat and refried beans mixed up with lettuce in cheese in a soft tortilla. Simple, but yummy.
-
Big side salad, and a homemade hamburger with lots of different sauteed veggies as a side.
-
Turkey Pot Pie, glass of OJ, glass of milk and a six-pack of LornaDoone Shortbread Cookies for dessert.
-
I ate more lasagna last night. I still have leftovers.
Chrissy

We had Chinese.

To start with, as a continental European, i hardly eat any cereal at all! That stuff is good for horses, but for humans???????
I had chili hotdogs again, I like them, and will have some mixed berries for dessert.

There's a Sum Yung Gai punchline in there somewhere. :laugh:
Last night we had a turkey dinner at Megan's work Christmas party, then late night pizza watching
the election results. Which pleased us mightily.
-
Last night it was a Salad, and almost a whole can of broiled sliced Spam. Only four small slices remained, which I'll have for lunch today.
Canned SPAM is good; it has to be, many members of our Armed Forces survived on it as did many folks in war ravaged Europe and Asia during and after WW II. During WW II rationing in the US, it was one of the few meats that were available to the average citizen. I remember eating a lot of it and have always loved it.

Spam fritters, a trick I learned almost as soon as I got to the UK. Give them a try.
We had toasties, or grilled cheese sandwiches as I call them, made with our homemade cheddar.

A lot of SPAM was sent to the UK during WW II. I believe it was made there until 1998; now produced in Denmark.

I might eat a ham sandwich or just some ham.
But I as have a little bit of lasagna leftover, I am tempted to simply finish that off and “ham it up” tomorrow. :)

Two friends and I went to eat at Perkins. I had a steak and wonderful crispy hashbrowns!

I decided to freeze my lasagna leftovers and wait on eating more ham until maybe this Sunday morning with some eggs. So I just ate some black grapes and some cheese and crackers.

We have a Five Guys here in our little country town of Southlake, TX; was there about 6 years ago. Found it to have over-priced, greasy and tasteless burgers. In-n-Out Burger has better burgers at 1/3 the price.

Cajun seasoned Tri tip steak with brussels sprouts.
As a side note,
Going to try my hand at a challenge presented to me. Make Raspberry Macarons. Looked those up and it doesn't seem too bad. I hear this is one of the more difficult recipes to pull off perfectly. We shall see. Finally a use for my old flour sifter lol

Did a "all in the hole" for tea last night, that's sweet potato and courgette as well as sausage in a toad in the hole. Today its a white chicken korma.

Because of the cake and cupcakes the last two days that have made their way down to my belly, I hope not in a way that expands it, I have to either exercise more or eat less! I did skip lunch except for the desserts, but I doubt that made up enough calories as I usually eat a simple block of tofu. So tonight I just ate some ham.
I receive some Ghirardelli peppermint chocolates, some Godiva chocolates, some Dove chocolates, and other items. Those chocolates can be mailed to Christinej78, although I did eat one of those peppermint squares. Very good, it was.

Hi Chrissy, 20 December 2019
To tell you the truth, we both have a LOT of chocolate stored in our freezers.
Short story about chocolate and me:
Eleven years ago I found myself feeling great one minute and 10-15 min later I would feel like I was ready to fall off the cliff. I went to the doctor numerous times over a three year period. They ran every test imaginable and then some that were unimaginable; they did a Brain Scan and found nothing; that was encouraging. The only diagnosis I received was that I was in perfect health. No one could explain what was causing the strange feelings.
My office is connected to the kitchen on the west side and the living room on the south. My normal point of ingress and egress is the west facing door, through the kitchen. On my way through that door I have to pass the reefer on the north side.
One particular day, as I went through that door, I did what I had always been doing when I got to the reefer, I opened the door, reached for the top shelf and grabbed a handful of dark chocolate chunks. All of a sudden it dawned on me that I was eating an enormous quantity of chocolate every day. I had three large containers of various dark chocolate, large Hershey Special Dark 1/2 lb bar broken into chunks, Dark semi-sweet chocolate chips, and a container full of Hershey Dark Chocolate Kisses. I realized at that moment I was eating over 1 pound of chocolate each day, and had been for the previous three years.
I decided at that moment that I was destroying my health with this crazy and unhealthy obsession/habit, I grabbed all the containers containing chocolate and dumped them all in the sink-alligator. There was one unopened bag of chocolate chips in with all the other stuff. I took that bag and placed it in the bottom of the freezer so I'd have a reference point for when this took place. Three days after dumping the chocolate, I felt good and stayed that way.
Dena and I both love our chocolate; Dena has never done what I did. She eats it in moderation and has gotten me to do the same. I owe Her a lot, so far, she has saved my life three times. I Love You Dena Dear!
Best Always, Love

OposaCoon, Opossum stuffed inside a raccoon and baked at 426° for 4:26. The high temp is required to destroy the strange pathogens carried by these virulent creatures; the cooking process is more like a controlled Cremation.
One nice thing about having the oven up to 426 degrees is it stays warm for a couple days after and is clean as a whistle when done.
This is similar to a TurDuckIn, a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey. I hear they are really good but I'm going to stick with OposaCoon; definitely reduces the number of place setting needed for dinner.

Just started a ham bone soup in the slow cooker. Bought a cooked spiral ham, 9 lbs at $1.50 a pound and sliced off most of the meat and stored that in the refrigerator. Put the bone in the slow cooker and added enough water to cover it. Already had an onion and a can of sweet potatoes, so went to the market last night and got the celery and carrots. Saved the celery leaves for salads. Should be ready for eating in about six hours.

No, but I noticed yellow arches and one (1) silly looking guy who does not know how to apply lipstick well. He wore a yellow jumpsuit with red and white striped arms. Goofy shoes. Could use a rhinoplasty, goes by the name of Ronald. Little fashion sense.

Smoked salmon and Philly cream cheese on a toasted bagel.
I had a lunch special bacon hamburger and fries before heading over to Target on Thursday. There isn't much of a lunch crowd where I live so there are good lunch discounts. After a week Target increases the discount on leftover holiday merchandise from 30 to 70% off, so I bought a couple of summer sausage/cheese/cracker boxes. ;D

Pan fried spiral ham. It was already cooked, so I just cut it up and stored it in the refrigerator. Steamed rice and grapes.

Yesterday finished off the turkey from last Sat roast, made a Jalfrezi (my friend took some home with her) also made a soup from some "end of life" veg .ok had some tined toms, mushrooms ,carrots and shallots that needed using and found a soup recipe in my cooking for 1 or 2 book. It had a hand full of broken spaghetti in it as well , didn't have any pesto so chucked some dried herbs in and it was tasty. Slow cooker on today with 4 chicken thighs , home made chicken stock and the turkey stock with a veg and a chicken stock cube and chicken gravy granules topped of with 2 shallots 2 garlic cloves, carrots, potatoes, swede , parsnips and the water they sat in overnight. Should last a few days!!!

Fried chicken

Tonight I decided on one of my custom recipes. I'll list what's in it ands you can tell me if that sounds any good. It's easily my favorite food of all time.
1 pound of chicken
1 pound of sausage
1 can water chestnuts
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
8 oz mushrooms
1 package dry noodle soup
1 cup rice
half an onion diced
Red pepper
Garlic powder
It's pretty much all that stuff, cooked, chopped up and thrown together in a pan and baked
I always called it chicken stuff, but I've never really had a name for it. Came up with it on accident as a teen throwing everything leftover I had together. Slowly tuned it into that. I've never seen another recipe get anywhere near to what that stuff is.
-
I browned some ground beef and Italian sausage, then added spicy spaghetti sauce and simmered while cooking 2 oz of spaghetti. Ate it with lots of ground Parmesan cheese.
-
Baked chicken

ratatouille, except fried. Southern touch on an old french dish.

Leftover chicken!
Chrissy

I just ate a can of green beans. First thing I've had in 25 hours. I'm getting over the flu :embarrassed:
-
It didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but it was alright. I have been cheating with the instant pot and the air fryer lately. Fast, healthy, and delicious is my goal. Some times I have to settle for 2 out of 3.
Sorry you have had the flu Sophia, I know how miserable that can be. I was feeling bad the last few days too, I think a few things are going around. Maybe some chicken soup with crackers today?
-
Sorry to hear you caught the flu Sophia. May you recover quickly.
Marion
-
Maybe some cheesy peas.
-
Fish pie, salmon, breaded cod with the coating removed cooked in milk , made a white sauce with the milk from the fish and added a pack of parsley sauce mix and some dried parsley . Wanted it thick as the packet mix is thin but ran out of milk so its solid!! Mash on top with a coating of the bread crumbs from the cod and topped of with cheese.Some broccoli and carrots as well should last 4 meals.

Toast and jelly, and milk.

I am going out in about a half hour for a second night out in a row for sit-down, at the restaurant hot food!
I think I will try a ribeye steak. Should I get mushrooms and onions on it, or just savor its naturally flavored goodness?
Chrissy

Yes indeed, I did get to enjoy a nice ribeye steak last night.
For the third night in a row, I will eat out, this time, looks like it will be an early dinner because of winter weather.

A nice steak.

The last of my tomato ambiguine rice with some beef curry. have some salmon steaks to curry for tonight , not decided on the recipe yet as the one I want to do has coconut milk and tamarind past in it and have run out of both but do have coconut cream and lemon juice that make substitutes.

Well, 4th day in a row and actually still loving it. Added some kale with it (because everyone needs their greens) and a game changer, Harissa sauce. OMG, why was't this in our fridge already? (Okay I know the answer, because nobody in our house likes spicy food except me and I already have Siracha, Cholula, Frank's Redhot, numerous, indecipherable spicy-sauces of Aisian origin and of course the spicy Taco sauce! And everybody knows Dragons love tacos but hate spicy sauce so Daddy has to hide it!)
Dragons love Tacos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ItaYeSJQX4)
Anyway, love the Harissa, lots of magical sweet spicy flavours to add to the already delicious Harira. One day we'll get to go to Morrocco and try their cuisine for ourselves. One day ... (no Dragons invited >:-) >:-))

Yesterday, a pork fritter. This is a poor quality tenderloin sandwich I guess.
Chrissy
-
Burritos. Nothing special, but a fav.
-
I will have a pan fried, medium rare, ribeye steak for supper later.
This one looks like it has a lot of fat, so I will cut that out before eating.
But it is labeled prime, so it should have more of this marbling.
Doubt I can eat this all in one sitting. Says it is 1 pound and 9 ounces.
Chrissy
-
I may not even get around to cooking this steak.
I have been eating some delicious black grapes and they seem to be quite filling also.
Maybe I will just eat more of these grapes!

I ended up eating more grapes and decided to slice the big steak thinner and cut out the two chunks of fat. Maybe I will cook it this evening and another soon.
Have a nice day!
Chrissy

I cut steaks into 6 oz portions. Down to 4 oz if it expensive tenderloin. I have a good eye for "cherry picking" the best cuts of steak so I often go to a market that sells a ton of steak so I can buy good cuts inexpensively.
Last night I had ribeye that I cut in half. I'l grill the other half tonight.

As I do not like to cook much, I doubt I would cut a steak to less than 8 ounces, unless this was after cooking because I got full.
It is good to save money when we can too! ;)

Nothing wrong with a bite tho...

Well... the steak was good last night too. That was two days in a row for steak.
Tonight I warmed up some chili I had made and froze more than two months ago. I am going to start eating it, usually it seems to freeze well and it ends up being rather tasty.
Have a nice evening!

Dear Chrissy:
I just got home a little bit ago, I had made Mac&Cheese this morning and put it in my refridgerator, so it is now heating up in my oven..... Hot Dogs and Mac&Cheese is one of my go-to comfort meals. I am also steaming some Brocollii ....
.... then I will go sit in front of my fireplace and warm up, it was cold today and then late tonight it is dipping into the bitter sub-zero temperatures... perhaps minus -26 degrees overnight before morning arrives..
HUGS,

Curry "stew" of course you can as its all about the spices. Have some one pot hob to oven recipes, made oven baked chicken today (it marinades in yogurt and spices overnight) that will last me several nights as used 1 kilo of thighs and legs. To go with it dry veg curry and a red lentil and garlic dish that's good enough to eat on its own .
BTW curry just means gravy. Can pm a recipe if you want

I will likely have some leftover lasagna, but I have been wanting to try another variety of this rather quick to make rice or noodles packet dinner. Simply plop the packet contents in a bowl, add water, some butter, and perhaps some milk, heat in microwave... then eat. (Knorr brand.)

On a related note, I stopped in the grocery store to get milk and a few other items today. It was a zoo! Many shelves were empty. You'd think the apocalypse was upon us. I turned around and left.

Interesting. This week I had a slice of pizza so bad, I did not eat the crust. Just the cheese topping, and any sauce on it! The crust looked as if it was half soaked in oil, so I skipped it other than for one bite from a drier looking area, and it was not good. I decided to not make a fuss over it.
Chrissy

I decided to eat a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It was good.
Also, a glass of milk.

I wish!! just one of my many cook books I have collected. Plan is to have Sweet and Sour prawns with the Bok Choi (its looking a bit rough as its been in fridge for 2 weeks!!) and a beef in whole spices (that was to take up to my friends but GIC cancelled due to virus ,now phone interview) as defrosted the beef. that's OK as can refreeze for another day. Also to freeze is a chicken and leek pie filling before the leeks go off , will make that tomorrow.I always cook to much, found cutting down the recipe spoils the taste , being on my own its hard to judge portions when cooking as well. Anyone want to come to dinner?
-
I use a cheap digital to precisely measure ingredients. It is the easiest way to measure out flour accurately.
I just bought a tri tip steak and cut it against the grain into 6oz portions, then marinated them.

I am unfamiliar of leeks and how they go off.
I gather they are a vegetable that might spoil if not eaten soon?

Had to add another tin of toms , trouble is it made it watery. Tasted OK though , some left for tomorrow so will dish it out with a runcible spoon to make it thicker. Also made some samosa to take to work for lunch.

more spaghetti , the bolognaise was much better with a BIG shot of Worcester sauce and cheese on top. Made an upside down peach pudding but I don't have custard, might have a go at making some.

Yesterday, trout.

This evening, a lean hamburger.

Not sure what yet, maybe just some grapes!
I do not want restaurant food Ickes up or delivered, and I do not want to make much of anything.
Been busy with chores but I have not got hungry yet.
It is early still! Maybe I will make some scallops I have in the freezer.

Last night was my 28th wedding anniversary. Back in December I bought a bone in beef rib roast to have on our anniversary (it was on sale- I paid less for a 6 pound roast than 3 pounds ground beef). Seasoned it with olive oil infused with garlic, salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary. We had this and baked potatoes and mushrooms. The roast was cooked to perfection.
Never would have guessed it in December that this would by the only option for an anniversary dinner. There was no meat for sale. Everything from tenderloin to cow tongue was sold out!

Hi Anastasia,
Great hearing how your anniversary dinner turned out!
I haven't been in a store for a week. I may wait another week or two as I still have plenty of food.

I made Chicken Marsala from scratch tonight with fresh steamed spinach. I threw in some diced tomatoes into the Marsala at the very end because in my kitchen, there are no rules! Yummmmmmmmmmm - Totally worth cooking that, and I have two meals worth of leftovers. :D

I am skipping my evening meal.
I hope yours is delicious!

I thinking about a nice restaurant meal tonight for take-home but I may put that on hold.
It may be better to simply stay at home and enjoy an at-home prepared meal. Scallops perhaps?
Maybe meatloaf and potatoes? Or a simple salad?
Hey does anyone here have to share a nice, easy to prepare meal idea that can be made at home without any hard to find ingredients? Nothing spicy though. Thank you! :)

I know people these days like to slam potatoes as a food, but if you do a vegetarian meal, don't fry the potatoes and limit the butter, a potato is an excellent "main course."

And youve both given me an idea - mashed sweet potatoes and grilled chicken (spiced of course)...

I'm going to do a Japanese noodle recipe this week. Been a long time since I did that. I need to go on Serious Eats to find a recipe...I'm sure Kenji has a bunch of noodle recipes on there.

Finished off the lamb stew last night, defrosting some curries for the next few days as they need using , some have been in there for 6 months--------------- Doing a dry veg curry to go with them and maybe a dahl and roti .
Watched a Madhur Jaffrey cooking program last night making Bangladeshi and Himalayan curries in the UK . Picked up some tips like cover frying onions to make them steam cook .

I just planted an onion to get a source of green onions this summer.

Slow cooked vegetable stew, plus a chicken breast.

I think that tonight that I might pop into the oven a store-bought frozen cheese pizza.
I have not had any pizza for awhile.

Whipped up a pot each
spicy beans & rice,
veggie Italian sausage in sauce to go with spaghett squash or pasta.
That covers me for a while on this thread!

stuffed paratha (used the Keema) and a dahl with a spoon of dry veg curry and a chicken thigh , of course that was curried!!! Peach kulfi for afters
-
Tomato soup with leftover fish and some vegetables thrown in, so it kind of turned into a tomato-y fish stew. It was mediocre at best...but I had to use up the leftovers. More leftovers tomorrow; then I can get creative again.
Sarah

Yesterday, thin crust pizza with plenty of cheese.
Tonight I had two bratwursts, no bread.
Plus an oatmeal brown sugar cookie.

I did enjoy some really good hamburgers last night.

Leftover kielbasa and sauerkraut that I had made last night. And wow, was it a good batch! Absolutely delicious. Leftovers just as good.
Plus I used up the rest of the half-steamed asparagus from last night, stir-fried it quickly in a very hot pan and then topped it off with percorino, salt and pepper and a little splash of lemon juice. Folks, it just doesn't get any better than asparagus in season with grated percorino on top. Soooo good.
Sarah

Potato and cauliflower curry (aloo Gobi ) , very healthy as it uses the leaves and stalks as well as the florets. OK not that healthy as florets and pots are deep fried first!!!! Had a curried chicken breast with it, its defrosted turkey curry to go with it tonight.
-
On Wednesday, two egg rolls and an apple.
Chrissy

I am thinking that I will cut a frozen pizza in half, and use one half for suppertime.
I may put some mushrooms on it, sausage, as well as bacon bits. I think I will need to jog a few more miles!
Chrissy

Chicken Fettuccine that I normally would have for lunch and Lemon Ups GS cookies.
Found some yeast in the pantry that isn't too old so I may make some bread and cookie dough this weekend.
Plan is to store the dough in the freezer and bake bread and cookies in little batches.
Marion

I just planted an onion to get a source of green onions this summer.
How deep is the onion planted?
Does it matter which way the onion bulb is oriented, when it is planted?
Do you remove any the skin?
Must it be a fresh onion, or is one that has sprouted required?
Chrissy
-
I planted it with the roots down and the top just beneath the soil. But this is just an experiment.
https://www.wikihow.com/Plant-Sprouted-Onions

They suggest dividing the onions to avoid competing plants.

Bucatini and meatballs. Homemade sauce with home-roasted tomatoes and homemade meatballs. Unfortunately the homemade meatballs were a little dry because my oven is so unpredictable. When I pulled the meatballs out, the oven thermometer I have read 40 degrees above the set temperature. >:(
Oh well...I basted the meatballs in the sauce, which partially rescued them. And tbh...pasta and meatballs is always going to be pretty tasty.
I had spinach as a side. It was good.
Sarah
-
Sorry to hear about the over-cooked meatballs. Maybe a non-contact thermometer will help, as you can watch the temperature on the surface of the oven to get an idea how things are going.
I often cook a batch of cookies with my meals. How fast they cook would also provide a clue. The smell of freshly baked cookies. ;) I am resting a new batch of dough in the refrigerator right now. ;D
-
I’m just very frustrated with my oven. Unfortunately I live in an apartment and can’t do much about it. I do have a hanging thermometer in the oven and I know the oven runs hot but how hot it runs can vary wildly. Today it was running 40-50 degrees hot, but some days it’s only 10-20 degrees hot.
Oh I definitely bake cookies by smell! When they get that just right smell, out they come.

Had a pack of sliced peppercorn beef (sandwich thin ) that was out of date today , found a beef Jalfrezi recipe that was like a bubble and squeak . Chunked onion, cooked potato's, chopped cooked beef with chopped chillies and lots of ground black pepper fried till it goes crispy on bottom. Hot and spicy but so tasty.

Tried a new recipe I'll pass along. No idea what this is called. Got it from a friend who makes it for kids all the time and they rave about how good it was so I asked how to make it. Made it for my GF's kids.
Kielbasa sausage
Potatoes
2 cans of green beans
Milk
flour
stick of butter
Put one inch of water in a large saucepan
Cook the sausage in it. put aside the sausage, keep the liquid.
Cook the potatoes in the liquid till soft, set aside, keep liquid.
Add a little milk, 1 stick of butter, and flour to make a sauce.
Add everything back in, including the green beans.
Simple, yet really hearty and the kids loved this stuff. Little too fattening for me, but I can see why kids rave about it.
-
It was my night to cook. We had a big batch of dirty rice.

Here is a trick to try with the kids: combine any smoked pork product (like the kielbasa) with green beans, and they'll eat the green beans. Green beans love smoked and cured pork - just steam the two together for 15-20 minutes in a pot and let that salt and smokiness infuse the green beans. If they need added inducement, throw on some shredded cheese.

I have been consuming a lot of my time this week with important things and people (no, no, I am not talking about consuming food, yet), so this evening I made some fresh sausage I bought; but, it was too salty.
I will need to toss that out and see what else I can come up with. Maybe a Pop tart. Who knows... how about one of those buttermilk biscuits Danielle?

Mixing salty meat with steamed rice may make it more palatable.

I am going try the second type of sausage I bought earlier this week.
This is Italian sausage. I hope I do not get any too salty sausages with this package.
I almost never add salt to prepared food before tasting, as often there is too much salt or sodium for my preference in it as is.
It amazes me that many people add salt to watermelon or an ear of corn before tasting.

I bought a slice of pizza at Whole Foods. Unfortunately, since they aren't making pizzas as regularly throughout the day with fewer people in the store, the slice had been sitting around in a box for a while and even though I heated up when I brought it back home, it still wasn't up to its usual standards. Guess I'll have to wait until after the pandemic to buy slices again *sigh*.

I finished off the marinara sauce on the pasta before it spoiled. It tastes better if I add some brandy to bring out the flavors while heating it up.

I may have a turkey sandwich. Not yet hungry though.

Hotdogs (American style from Costco) and homemade potato salad.

Caesar salad.

The SPAM Musubi turned out great! I fried SPAM slices, then added a a mixture of sugar and soy sauce and cooked it until the sugar began to caramelize. A strong sauce is required. I used an acrylic mold to wrap the meat in slices of pressed steamed rice with an outer covering of roasted seaweed. And for a little crunch I put bonito flakes and sesame seeds (Furikake) just underneath the SPAM.

I only liked Spam once in my life, and that is when I went on a hiking trip as a kid, and one night we had spaghetti and Spam for dinner. We had had a long day of hiking, and I was so hungry that the Spam tasted like a crown roast of pork.
After the trip, I told my mom that I had eaten Spam on the trip and thought it was delicious. My mom was a good cook so she kind of gave me a :icon_confused: look. But she humored me and made spaghetti and spam for me. After eating it, I admitted that it didn't taste nearly as good as it had been on the trip and that I significantly preferred her Bolognese sauce. She has repeatedly teased me about this incident for decades ("Remember the time you said you liked Spam???") :P.
I sheepishly admit that I have never had Spam since then, but I'm always curious about whether I could recapture the taste bud magic from the hiking trip.

I love Caesar salads...but only when I make them! Most restaurants mess it up with less-than-stellar ingredients, mediocre dressing and overdressed salads. And the anchovies are essential - not optional IMO!
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
I'm sure it helped that after that long hike your body needed to replenish salt.
SPAM Musubi is very popular in Hawaii. Next time I'm planning to season it with brown sugar, Tamari, and Mirin.
Tamari is gluten free, 100% soy.

A PB&J sandwich and milk. Easy to make and good.

Cheese burgers with cheese buns, had to slice the thick burgers in 1/2 as they were well crispy on out side and still raw in middle. Cooking them on rib griddle pan so cooked middle and then put slice of cheese in ,put back together and a bit more cheese on top. Toasted buns on gridle as well. Small salad.

This was so good last time, we’re doing it again.
As mentioned on the dumpling thread...a little soup Asian-fusion style:
Ramen broth, with spicy Korean-style dumplings, julienne scallions, and a touch of soy sauce and sambal. Yum - perfect level of spice and taste! Total umami bomb.

Cheesy Scalloped potatoes, ham, peas&carrots. Mmm, mmm, good

Spaghetti and tomato sauce and broccoli on the side. It was...ok. I didn’t put a lot of effort into it.
If I was smart like Maid Marion, I would have put some canned sardines in my sauce, which has always turned my pasta dishes from blah to yah! (And don’t get me started about fresh sardines if you have access to them...mmmm, so good.)

Grocery store sushi - so-so. I got one of those fancy sushi types with sauces and crunchy stuff on top, but every time I do that, I forget that I really prefer just the plain old maki and nigiri with none of the American enhancements.

Homemade Thai basil fried rice with shrimp. I used fresh Thai basil from the store and it was pretty good.
But basil fried rice is sooooo much better when you use basil fresh picked from the garden - that one upgrade completely changes the dish. Unfortunately, my Thai basil plants aren't quite there yet. They need a couple more weeks before harvesting can begin. Then, watch out - flavor bomb inbound.

Leftover basil fried rice - I think it was better today than it was yesterday. A couple bites of coffee oreo ice cream for dessert.

Enjoy your Spaghetti....
What kind of Pasta do you like? My favorite is Angel Hair. Homemade sauce or canned? I make lots of homemade meat sauce and/or Hamburger and mushrooms in the sauce. When served topped with lots of Parmesan and a side of Garlic Bread, and/or a tossed green salad.... then of course some red wine. This kind of talk is making me hungry !!! I am busy right now making dinner (Beef Stroganoff) for me and my sweetie.

I'm experimenting with different ways of seasoning SPAM musubi. I tried brown sugar/Tamari/Mirin but that wasn't all that great, even though the caramelizing was spot on. I'll try something else tomorrow.

Hi Sarah,
Great to hear about the perfectly cooked scallops!
I had grilled flank steak. The weather is great for grilling on the BBQ.
Tomorrow I plan to try my version of ANZAC biscuits using cane sugar, coconut, oatmeal, and coconut oil as the main ingredients. I have no idea why folks don't suggest using cane sugar instead of golden syrup, as golden syrup is made from pure cane syrup.

The best part of owning a house is being able to be a highly valued member of the community.
Even if they don't know my name they know that I grow the most gorgeous flowers in the town!
Several neighbors bought their home so they could live next to mine!
It is quite affordable as I can fix all sort of stuff on my own, though I leave the heating system to the professionals.

Tuna salad on a salad, with beautiful fresh lettuce, tomatoes and green onions from the farm stand - the lettuce was particularly good. Overall, pretty good meal...would have been better with the awesome Spanish/Portuguese canned tuna. But that is a rare treat, not an everyday meal.

Homemade Asian peanut noodle salad with chicken. I used peanut butter as a base for the dressing, and I think I should have gone with peanut oil instead.

Did this again with leftover chicken and dressing...it was much better with the addition of sambal and lots of fresh cilantro, though I think sriracha would have been better. I chilled the ramen after I cooked it, which was smart. The peanut butter base of the dressing was still too dominant, but I had to use up the leftovers. Will definitely use peanut oil next time...and more vinegar.
Can't learn to cook without some missteps along the way. :)

Dear Devlyn:
A good (and tasty) thing you can do with all of your very prolific and extra Zucchini is to make
Sweet Zucchini Relish

Frankly I like it much better than pickle relish on my grilled burgers and dogs.
I usually make enough and "can" it so I can enjoy it all winter.

Today is board game day and pot luck at a friend’s house in San Diego.
We’re playing among other games Hellboy: the board game, the Luchador scenario. We are stuck in a post WWII time rift in which all of our characters are wrestlers fighting the big bad evil trying to save the world from the ring.
So with the awesome Jack Black movie Nacho Libre playing in the background, we’ll have a Caesar salad, corn on the cob in honor of Jack’s sidekick Steven, cheese enchiladas, pork and beef tamales, chips with homemade salsa and guacamole, cheese plate, an assortment of wines, cervezas, and cocktails, plus some assorted unknowns goodies.
Cheering and wildly yelling while pile-driving your opponent is highly encouraged. Tag team rules in effect. As will be disqualification rules, so no biting, gouging, or elbows to the neck, but jumping from the ladder and flying leg kicks are definitely ok. And yes I will be wearing my Eddie Guerrero mask. 👺 💪🍻

Made a quick seafood bake in a pot. Spicy southern sausage, lobster tails, snow crab legs clusters, white shrimp, red potatoes, various vegetables, onions, garlic, corn on the corn, hard boiled eggs, in a Chardonnay and chicken bone broth. Good times!

The seafood bake sounds delicious!

Yeah, we figure 90 seconds with two 120° turns at 30 second intervals should be perfect.
Temperature, you say? It runs at 500°C, or 932°F. The cheese was already at a rolling boil on the one minute pizza.

No it has a removable front door for loading, unloading, and turning. We got the Frya, it runs on wood pellets. Other models are multifuel, logs, charcoal briquettes, or gas.

I saw a video a few weeks ago where J Kenji Lopez-Alt did a bake-off between the Ooni and the Roccbox. Both pizzas looked pretty darn good to me!

Alas, I live in an apartment and cannot use 900 degree ovens on my patio. But one day I hope that I will have a backyard and when I do, I intend to get a Big Green Egg or some other Kamodo-type grill on which I can make pizzas as well as other delicious things. The Ooni looks so fun but I don’t think I can justify such a specialized item...or can I? >:-)

(https://i.imgur.com/Aa3HCg7t.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/1nqeyp6t.jpg)Spaghetti with meat sauce for one in the Summer.
Cook 2oz of spaghetti in water seasoned with salt for 8minutes in lightly boiling water. I use about 1inch of water in a 1 quart Pyrex dish. Drain water of spaghetti in a colander. No need to use more water.
Brown 3oz of hamburger and 1oz of spicy Italian sausage in a small skillet. Be careful not to burn the meat as small skillet gets very hot if you aren't careful. When the pink is gone, spoon away excess grease . Turn off heat and add pasta sauce and Parmesan cheese. When the sauce is at the desired thickness, remove from stove and use it to top the pasta. Enjoy!
No leftovers and minimal heating of the kitchen when the weather is hot. Splurge on good pasta sauce if you can afford it. Pasta sauce constantly goes on sale. Stock up on the good stuff. It is better from a food safety standpoint to cook small quantities to avoid having food constantly passing through the "danger zone" of 40F to 140F. I keep the meat in the freezer until a day or two before I need it. Then it goes into the refrigerator.

Yes, what my tooth fairy and I had for our dinner was indeed Atlantic Lobster, Maine Lobster to be precise... the Pacific Lobster is not technically a "true" Lobster at all... much smaller and no claws.

We're feeling pretty confident. Megan is getting pretty good handling the dough and toppings, and the settings for this oven and the type of pizza it makes are "full tilt". :laugh:
We're currently turning the pizza a quarter turn or so every 20 seconds, and taking it out at around 70 to 90 seconds, depending on the pie, the wind, luck, etc. ;D
Devlyn:

Tanks! Tonight's pizzas were cooked with apple wood pellets following a load of mixed hardwood pellets to warm it up. Even though it was a couple hundred £ investment, we're seeing that the oven is going to save us money in the long run.

I find it amazing that a pizza can be properly cooked in 90 or less than 90 seconds.
I am surprised that the pizza turning that should cause heat loss still has the total cooking time pretty low.

Chicken bulgogi. It was ok, but needed more zing...more ginger and maybe a bit of gochujang (which I was out of). Also, I need to break out the wok next time or I need to really get my cast iron pan super hot. My pan was just never got hot enough. I might try broiling as well.
Sarah
-
Hi Sarah,
I keep ginger in the freezer and microplane some off when I need it. Then I put the frozen ginger back in the freezer.
No need to defrost it before microplaning. I'll also freeze onion that I intend to caramelize.
If you are cooking for one or two consider buying tiny skillets that are just big enough for the food you want to cook. The smaller the pan the hotter it will get.
Marion

Yeah - I agree on that pan trick. Good idea.
I didn’t know about freezing ginger, but that method makes sense.
I tried a bit of the leftover chicken before going to bed. Tasted better. Could be pretty good by tomorrow.

It was very strange when I realized my way out of the liquor store I had bought some Jack at my 12 year olds request. When she was done measuring and mixing the ingredients for the glaze, she asked me if this was going to taste good because all the ingredients smelled horrible. I told her yes and she continued. Once the glaze began to cook down, she realized it was going to be good. And it was.

Danielle,
It made for a really fun prep because they didn't have a recipe and just kept throwing whatever they wanted in! The pineapple and mango added a nice sweet fruitiness that worked well with everything else, and everyone had a different dressing with it. My oldest had a balsamic vinaigrette, my youngest didn't think it needed dressing at all. I doubled down on the sweetness with a dash of Catalina!

Dear Chrissy:
The Pasty or Pasties (similarly pronounced like nasty) is basically an Cornwall, United Kingdom invention.... handheld potato and meat pie.
I have had them in Upper Peninsula Michigan (Mackinaw City) where they are made to the old country specs.... usually served with gravy. I found them to be a little too "dry" for my taste.
I have made them at home and usually make them a little more moist, much like a Chicken Pot Pie.

Chrissy
I have had many pierogis, the quality of which has varied a lot. I'd say the challenges with pierogis are: (1) making sure that the pierogi isn't too doughy, (2) getting the meat seasoning right (some regional versions of pierogis have a seasoning mix I didn't like), and (3) for me personally, making sure that the final pierogi is crisp, not mushy or oily. I think I tried making pierogis once...mine weren't successful and it's actually really challenging to make them proficiently.

Anyone here try a Pierogi?

@Maid Marion
Marion-
I have to ask- did you make this like a burger with fry-bread as the bun, or more like an Empanada?
Caela
-
I had them separately. The yeast dough was sweetened with sugar, much like you would have at a fair or festive event. It had lots of rise in the hot coconut oil. ;D
Lots of carb calories from just the fried dough, so I didn't need more from a hamburger bun or bread coating.
How to eat fattening food without getting fat. :D
I ought to make some Empanadas.

I always regret frozen pizza. It’s teases you in the frozen food aisle with convenient tastiness but it never satisfies. My preferred at-home easy pizza fixes: English muffin pizzas or pita bread pizzas prepared with your ingredients and cooked in the toaster oven.

Not sure. I had some pulled pork for lunch and it was good.
Nothing right now sounds very good. Perhaps I will eat later, it is early any way.
I have been thinking of some problems some people I know have and that is more on my mind than food. Many a time you should just listen to people say what is on their minds, not offer possible solutions unless they ask, and then they need to make decisions and take action themselves.
I think a lot of times many do not want to hear of any possible solutions. They just want a caring person to listen. So I listen. More comfort and understanding is what they seek.
It can be cathartic.
But, I still think about what they are going through. So, I am thinking.

Leftover half of an Italian sub that I also had for lunch. So bad, but so good.

I had Japanese style chicken and egg over rice. I seared the cubed chicken thighs and then carmelized the sauce and onions so it was very good last night. Then I added more sauce for cooking the well beaten egg.

Wasabi is hot but these chips have just the right combination of taste and texture for me.
They don't overdo it like a lot of other products. They aren't overly aggressive with the shrimp taste either.

Its from last night but I wanted to send this to my girlfriend SarahEL and figured I might as well share. Its Cuban Steak which I've only had once before. Miami Florida 10+ years ago. I know little to no spanish so when it was explained what it was I thought it was "horse" (Shaking head) I raved how good it was but how horrible to use a horse as food. Half the restaurant heard this and laughed. I can be pretty dumb.
Anyway its thin slices of steak marinated in fresh Lime juice (Use limes not that bottled gunk) and Garlic. As you can see I went overboard on the garlic. You then Pan Fry it in some olive oil. Flip it to cook both sides then remove the meat fill the pan with slices of sweet onion and put the meat over the onions until they done. The longer you let it marinate the better (more tender and flavourfull)
Serve with black beans or (any beans is good beans) or refriend beans.

Do you like Mochi? I put it it the oven and it puffs up, and I dip it in soy sauce. I get the plain white mochi rice “cakes” frozen at the grocery.

Hearty Beef/Barley soup and homemade biscuits with lots of homemade blackberry jam and butter!!!!
Nothing like a hot meal to warm one up on a cold winter evening.
I have the soup in my timed slow cooker so it will be just about ready when I get off of work... then all I have to do is bake the biscuits so that they will still be warm out of the oven when I have dinner.

Hi Crissy,
Yes, I like mochi. I especially like daifuku mochi, which are small little balls of mochi with a sweet filling. The local Asian market imports it from Japan. The Chinese have something similar, called gau, which is rice pudding sweetened with brown sugar.

Cheated (we're self isolating due to Megan's upcoming surgery) and bought premade fresh ones at Sainsbury's. They're all beef. When I make my own I use a beef/pork mix, or preferably the beef/pork/veal Italian mix if it's available. Pic pending. :)

Quick run down, small cubed pork shoulder cooked slow (1 1/2 hrs) in honey and a spot of oil with onion and garlic, chicken stock . Then cooked down till most liquid absorbed, spice mix of ground roasted cardamom and cinnamon stick, turmeric, black pepper, salt and zest of orange and lemon added and simmered then yogurt ,toasted almonds and a good handful of chopped fresh coriander and flat leaf parsley stirred in .
Was very nice with sweet and sour butternut squash.

I think I finally located a frying pan for high heat cooking. Carbon steel is popular in Europe but rarely sold in the USA, which favors non stick (can't handle heat), stainless steel (uneven cooking), and cast iron (very heavy).

Someday, I will pass on to her my lasagna recipe and Benders secret ingredient.

We're having ribeye, too. We bought the whole cut and sliced our own, two inches thick. They're in the sous vide and we'll sear them in a pan at dinnertime.

Dear Sarah:
Soup is always a great winter time dinner meal.
Tonight I had homemade Beef Barley Soup (made by my sweetie Tooth-Fairy) with a Toasted Cheese Sandwich.
We finished dinner and then sat in front of my fireplace to be cozy and warm.
Hugs, Danielle

Went to an upscale food store to stock up on groceries.
Steamed mussels, an English muffin, and pecan pie. The English muffin was expensive but worth it.

Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy and a steamed vegetable.... or at least that is what my sweetie tooth-fairy is telling me that is what she is fixing for dinner. After work I will pick up a bottle of wine and head over to her home for dinner.
Then, as usual, after dinner we will sit on her comfy sofa couch in front of her fire place...
...at a temperature of minus -2 degrees(f) and continuing snowing that will be a nice thing to warm up to, a hot dinner, warm fireplace, and cuddling with my sweetie.
-

That will be my next shopping trip to the Asian market. I have a lot of food so I may hold off for a few weeks.
That will also give me time to think of foods to find. Perhaps an old favorite I haven't had in years.

Food truck night at my apartment complex and a good Greek food truck was there. So I bought a tasty gyro.

I was driving by the good French bakery, so I stopped and picked up a baguette. For dinner, I'm just having some pieces of bread with slices of really good gruyere, with a couple small slices of smoked brisket and homemade green tomato pickle. A dinner of few, high-quality ingredients.

Chrissy

It's a very simple yet effective recipe, sarahc!
Fry some onion and half of a pumpkin into a pan. When the onion is glazy, I add about 300 g of rice and from then on, I slowly keep adding vegetable broth to it. A small amount at a time, waiting until it cooks in. During the roughly 20 minutes that you do that, you have to keep stirring on a regular basis.
And then you finish that with some grated parmezan and spice it up to your liking. I added a bit of almonds and chopped spinach to the mix for a bit of variety. And voila, a couple servings of yummy food.
-
need to do something with that chicken "curry" I made, home made chicken stock is so strong it over powers the spices. Might just add more yogurt . Making a farmhouse style soup from the rest of the chicken stock and scrappy meat bits, potatoes, carrots and celery .
-
Aren't thinly sliced potatoes useful at pulling the spices out of too heavily seasoned soup?
I bought a quart of buttermilk on my last shopping trip to add to my recipes. The buttermilk sourdough waffle this morning was good. I'm now marinating a boneless chicken thigh in buttermilk, cayenne, paprika, salt, ginger, and garlic. I butterflied it with a sharp knife so it looks like a thin chicken breast.
Marion

Chicken Alfredo yesterday. I used bowtie noodles.
I just weighed myself and am five pounds higher than usual for two days now, so I will need to back off the next few days from all these cookies, snacks, chocolates, and gravy laden and starchy foods and see if I can get back to my two weeks after Thanksgiving normal weight. No wonder why the girls seem to be a bit bigger!

I like the baked beans with little pieces of pork. It is not spicy at all.
I have not tried cowboy beans.
Chrissy
-
It's a similar concept, but cowboy beans are pinto beans with beef. Also, you really don't need to slow cook cowboy beans like you do baked beans, because you're not trying to soften the beans up too much like you would with baked beans.

Wrapping presents tonight so whatever has the misfortune to be quick and easy. Braunshweiger and crackers. Clam chowder. Carmelcorn. Cheetos. Iced tea. So far, poor nutrition value, high bad nutrition. It all tastes good, as long as it's not together. Probably taco bell later.

I made this puff pastry Christmas tree for lunch. It's stuffed with a line of pigs in blankets for the trunk, and the rest is Branston pickle and mature cheddar cheese. The cutoff triangles are filled with Nutella and cinnamon. Brushed it with a beaten egg and gave it twenty minutes in the oven.

Nice one Devlin , had a bit of pastry left over from pie top so some cheese and the bacon from turkey made a filling.

Yes, puff pastry is good!
I have some Gala apples that aren't as sweet as I thought they would be, so I'm going to bake some Apple Crisp with them. I saved some lemon slices in the freezer for some tartness that is defrosting now in the refrigerator.

Roast beef salad. I chopped up the roast beef and splashed it with Worcestershire sauce, whipped up a horseradish-based sour cream vinaigrette, threw in some tomatoes, sweet pickles, lettuce and croutons, and tossed it. High taste-to-effort ratio, but I think I should heat up the roast beef for version 2 of the salad tomorrow. Might need a touch of garlic as well.

Fresh Asian noodles make such the difference! I would love to buy them more often. However, even though I live in a big suburb of a big city where there are many East Asians, there are no good Asian markets near me...the closest is 25 minutes away, and those markets are packed. I really hope someday a modern Asian market opens closer to me - I’m pretty sure it would do good business.
I guess I could make the noodles myself, but...it’s a lot of work.

Yes, I'm lucky to be able to zip into the Asian market whenever I want and go there when they have just a few customers. They sell large quantity items. I bought a 2qt bottle of soy sauce.
My father grew up into a poor family and learned how to make noodles for Oxtailsoup. He would do this while watching his favorite team on Sundays. Back then those bones were food for poor people!
My favorite grocery store doesn't salt their raw chicken. I salt it. Then I marinade it for at least an hour. After I fry it I deglaze the pan with Chinese cooking wine. Better to eat those tasty bits of food and make easier to clean the pan. ;D

Red Lobster has some good biscuits, and I think there is cheddar cheese in them.
