Official Dinner Thread Friday the 14th

[Andy M.]

Rubbed and grilled country-style pork ribs, buttered egg noodles and steamed broccoli.

 

[JohnDB]

Fried pork chops, mashed Idahos, and a loaf of homemade sourdough ourselves....

Similar but not the same.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

Beef roulade (bread stuffing, not dill pickle), chicken in a rosemary cream sauce, garlic mashed redskin potatoes, and green beans almondine. Wedding cake for dessert.

 

[taxlady]

I ran out of spoons in the afternoon and decided we should order out for supper. We ordered burgers.

 

[msmofet]

I still feel lousy, so quick dinner.
Chicken, mashed potatoes, and steamed cauliflower.

 

[cjmmytunes]

Sausage links, eggs & cheese, toast with butter and low-sugar Smuckers grape jelly. .5 Costco blueberry muffin and a walk for dessert.

 

[blissful]

Broccoli and veggie basmati rice. We ate a lot of bready stuff yesterday, whole wheat blueberry yeast pancakes and calabash quick bread. Sliced apples with date paste for snacking all day.

 

[dragnlaw]

divided up a rack of spareribs into 4 portions, kept 1 portion out of the freezer for my supper... and forgot to take a pic.
Delish with a side of rice and garden green beans.
Those ribs were really meaty!

Wedding cake?
That's the one food deemed the leading cause of misery in men?

I avoid eating it at all costs.

 

[Marlingardener]

JohnDB, wedding cake is not the leading cause of misery in men. Eating crow is.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

@JohnDB it sounds like you haven't found the right partner. Himself and I will celebrate our 48th anniversary next month, his sister and her husband crossed the 51 year line in August, and both parental units had long marriages. We all ate wedding cake.

Um. Heh.

Married Men Live Longer, Have Better Sex, and Make More Money

 

[taxlady]

Um. Heh.

Married Men Live Longer, Have Better Sex, and Make More Money

I was going to mention that.

 

[JohnDB]

Ladies,
It's just an old joke my Grandfather used to tell.
I'm very very very happily married to a wonderful woman. I actually made our wedding cake because the wedding was in the middle of nowhere and getting one made with a good buttercream was going to be impossible...much less 4 tiers. (Extremely expensive too)
We did good to get away with the topper. There was nothing left. The preacher ate 4 slices himself.

 

[JohnDB]

Here's a picture. Not my best work but I was really out of practice when I did it.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

Love that topper, @JohnDB Is the bride pushing you to the altar, or pulling you back so you don't run away? Himself wants to know.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

The cake is great too.

 

[JohnDB]

Trying to keep him from running away...and thanks. It was
cake baking and decorating as if my life depended on it so to speak.

 

[dragnlaw]

It's great JohnDB! Looks fantastic, well done for your bride!
