Friday dinner..9/2/16

[salt and pepper]

Chilled out and waiting for the steam bath, Maryland style that is.

The beer is ice cold, Karen made a potato-corn salad with Buttermilk dressing and time to get picking. We had some left over shrimp for a cocktail appi.

Now your talking, enjoy.

Made my grandma's chicken soup and dumplings. The elders are both fighting colds, so I thought some good ol' comfort food was just what the doctor would order.

Here's a pic of my lemon chicken and spanakorizo. Chicken turned out beautifully but spanakorizo came out more like porridge. It's not for me.

 

[GotGarlic]

It's edible and not bad, but I probably won't make this again. Somehow I don't think chicken and potatoes were meant to go together. Next time I might do potatoes and hamburger (with bacon) and instead of Parmesan cheese, I'll add cheddar.

Oh, I disagree. I think you need to work on the seasoning and find a way to add some texture. Fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy is *delicious*!

It is if eaten separately, but you don't eat the chicken mixed in with the mashed potatoes. If I mix chicken with anything again, it will be with bacon or rice.

I do Crunchy fried chicken breading is delicious with soft mashed potatoes and gravy

Then you're just weird, GG.

Then you're just weird, GG.

Yeah, so?

 

[rodentraiser]

I think I'll stay outta this one.

Have to admit I think GG is weird too. To each his own, but mixing all that food together, like those bowls of chicken, potatos, corn that a couple of fast food chains sell, or the sandwiches with fries, slaw, and the protein ----- just no. There are some things that mix well but there are some things that should never be mixed. I know, I'm weird too! C'est la vie!

When I was a young lad I had to combine my food together to eat it. Not sure how it started. Maybe because I didn't like certain things and my mother, or one of my siblings, told me that if you mix it together it will go down easier..I don't remember...I took a small scoop of mashed potatoes and then pierced a bit of meat with the fork and ate it that way. Always had to have a combination in every bite...I notice my brother, who is now 57, still eats that way...

Yes! That explains it perfectly!

I've noticed how foods are placed far apart on your dinner plates My brother hates it when his food touches, too.


"I eat my peas with honey;
I've done it all my life.

It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on my knife!"
