We used to love Boston Market, but the 1 close to us has such horrible reviews I wouldn't get food from there for any reason. I usually am willing to give a place a chance, but not when 90% of the reviews are mediocre to bad.

There are edible, non-animal based casings. Never tried them, but they were in the sausage making supply catalogs when we used to make sausage enough that we'd buy things through them.

Happy Birthday Katie!

We had something similar with our malamute/golden retriever mix. She was a big girl, around 95 pounds and nearly as tall as me, 5'1", when she stood up on back legs. First time, I had put a beef roast, not a prime rib thankfully, on the counter, to warm up a bit before roasting. We left...

As far as lasagna noodles,, you can't leave them in water. They will continue to absorb it and get soggy. What you can do is store them in a bag or whatever with a tiny amount of water. If there are any that stick, you can soak them in some warm water and they should unstick. I do this with...

The 1 brand of shelf stable gnocchi we tried had a gummy, gluey texture to it. Been a long time so I don't remember brand name. I did try making gnocchi with instant mashed potato flakes per the ATK or Cook's Country recipe a while ago. It wasn't as good as homemade baked/riced potato...

Tovala meals. Meatballs with marinara with ratatouille plus homemade garlic rolls.

Duchess fritatta, a Lorraine with added ham, and fried potatoes.

We had breakfast out, sausage gravy and biscuits, with iced coffee with coffee ice cubes and a steak skillet for Craig. Dinner was courtesy of Tovala, BBQ chicken with loaded tots.

Cook the eggplant like I do, roast whole until just beginning to soften, then cool, slice, then fry, allow to cool, then peel off the skin. It usually comes right off. If you roast, then fry, you won't need as much oil. Eggplant soaks up oil like you won't believe...

Sheesh, cleaning out a pumpkin...

It's the skin only, same with pumpkin guts. Both make me and DD itch like he//.

Tovala meals of honey mustard chicken with mashed sweet potatoes and crunchy fried onion pieces. Green beans from the grocery. Craig prefers full blown country style beans, nearly falling apart, but I prefer just past crisp tender, so a compromise. I started eating before I took picture, sorry.

You would if you are allergic to it. Trust me.

I bake my eggplant per David Rosengarten, one of the original FN hosts. Then, slice and quickly fry it. After that, I peel the skin off the slices before putting the dish together. I've never tried Julia's recipe, but I love his!

We had 2 kinds of quesadillas last night. Corn, and chicken with onions and red bell pepper slices. Both using fontinella cheese.

Tovala meal. Lasagna bolognese with added grated ParmR, plus homemade garlic rolls.

Chicken, green chile sauce enchiladas, black beans (Craig), homemade guacamole and sour cream.

Had a big lunch at a speciality burger place. I had a smash burger with cheese. Craig had 1 of their specialty double burgers. Both with fries.

Tovala meal. Chicken and red bell pasta with some leftover Papa John's cheese bread.

Smothered pork shoulder blade chops, mashies, and green beans.

Thanks all!

Birthday brunch at Cheesecake Factory with bacon and avocado calabrian hollandaise for me, chilaquiles for Craig. I got a free slice for my birthday so Godiva for me and Cinnabon cheesecake for Craig to go. Nap time, AKA food coma, for me because i ate both of my egg stacks, minus the English...

Pot roast with carrots, parsnips, mushrooms, Yukon golds, and pearl onions. I'm stuffed!

I had half a can of Progresso beef vegetable and barley soup with half a baked potato with butter and sour cream. Craig had a sub with ham, Genoa, hot Capicola, hot cherry pepper relish and red wine vinegar and EVOO dressing. We both had the same for breakfast today.
