Mashed potatoes on the sandwich, do you mean, or as a side? I always liked to put potato chips on my sandwiches or once in a while I stick french fries on one. (And I have the nerve to wonder why I'm fat, lol!)

It's very different from what I knew as goulash when I was growing up. That was a dish made with elbow macaroni and ground beef. I like this much better.

Make in a heavy 6 to 8 quart pot: Fat rendered from 2 strips of bacon (remove bacon from pan) 2 onions, medium dice 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 1/2 pounds stewing beef, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1 garlic clove, crushed Pinch caraway seeds 2 tablespoons good quality sweet paprika (see cook's...

We usually have pizza on Friday night, but ds went to a football game with some school friends and they met at a park near the school and bbq'd beforehand. I never did stuff like that with my friends in high school! We got the pizza tonight instead.

Did you see my post a few back?

My personal favorite is Nanaimo Bars, which I understand is a popular Christmas cookie up in Canada. Bottom Layer: ½ cup unsalted butter ¼ cup sugar 5 tbsp. cocoa 1 egg beaten 1 ¼ cups graham wafer crumbs ½ c. finely chopped almonds 1 cup coconut Melt first 3 ingredients in top of...

I wonder if you're thinking of Russian Tea Cakes? That's what we always called them when I was growing up in Western PA, where there are lots of Eastern European immigrants and descendants. Now I live in Southern California, and I more frequently hear them referred to as Mexican Wedding...

I think that Casey should count her lucky stars that they decided to take 3 instead of 2, because I don't see any way they could've avoided eliminating her last night otherwise. You have to hand it to Dale, he brought it when it counted. It should be a really interesting final!

I'm in the "don't care for it" crowd. But then, I also don't care for catfish or trout (except for the smoked variety). I have given it a few chances but it just isn't for me.

I saw that and totally agree with your review. It mystifies me how it could have been so popular.

I couldn't sleep last night, so I watched "The Last Castle" with Robert Redford, James Gandolfini and Mark Ruffalo.

Wow, lots of tri-tip tonight. I'm planning to try a recipe for Hoisin Marinated Tri-Tip Roast that I found over on Chowhound (which, in turn, I discovered via a link here on discusscooking!) Hoisin-Marinated Tri-Tip Roast Recipe - CHOW

Will order a small pizza for ds and finish up the roasted chicken myself, instead of the medium I usually order for us to share. If I don't, it will need to be thrown out and I hate to do that. Dh is working late and will eat there or have whatever pizza is left over.

I haven't eaten yet, but am taking the day off work. I might make myself eggs and bacon to celebrate.

Ham and navy beans. It was just chilly enough last night for enjoying some soup.
