I'm making mushroom and spinach omelette tonight!
Rock.

 

[Andy M.]

Pasta with meatballs and tomato sauce.

We're going to Michigan tomorrow for about a week to visit my in-laws and cook for my FIL (my MIL is in a nursing home), so I made about a gallon of lasagna sauce yesterday to take with us (not all of it ). I kept a pint out of the freezer, made rotini and mixed them together. I also made salads and no-knead bread.

 

[jennyema]

Peanut butter Sammie and tomato soup :-(

 

[Katie H]

Thick ham slice cooked in the grill pan. Sides included baked sweet potato, a dab of leftover Italian green beans and the last, of the last, of the last of our ripe tomatoes. Iced tea completed our meal.

 

[blissful]

Quiche no crust, buttered pie pan, chopped green onion, chopped ham, mixture of swiss cheese, 7 eggs, 1 C cream, S&P, 40 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes. mmmmmmm

 

[Cheryl J]

Home made split pea soup with carrots, onions, a little celery, and some ham I found in the freezer. A corn muffin on the side, from a Jiffy mix.

 

[dragnlaw]

Olive Cheese Melts - then I defrosted and started to heat up some Leek & Pear Soup. Got distracted so I guess it will be breakfast or lunch tomorrow.

THEY ARE COMING THURSDAY
AROUND 1300 HOURS
TO FIX MY OVEN​

Be still my beating heart! It has been more than a month.

We met up with Himself's cousin and his wife at their local Ruby Tuesday . Good Lord, I can hardly wait until I get to cook again. The company was much better than the food , which was...adequate.

 

[Kayelle]

I brined and browned a couple of thick boneless pork chops and finished them simmering in a sauce of shallots/wine/Dijon mustard/heavy cream with fresh thyme. Mine was served over wilted spinach, and his over mashed potatoes. Glorified salads were on the side.

Dad was out hunting "wild cow" all day. I asked Mom what she wanted for supper--her choices were homemade chicken soup with dumplings, a burger, or venison tenderloin. Her choice--the tenderloin. We went with the tenderloin.

I have a couple of venison hearts to "deal with" tomorrow while Dad is out hunting again. I am thinking of cooking them with pickling spice and then smoking them (stovetop smoker) using plum wood chips. Should I cook them first and then smoke, or smoke first?

I am making Scandinavian pumpernickel bread to make heart sandwiches. I have this craving for smoked venison heart. Just can't decide if I should smoke first and then finish, or cook them in the pressure cooker first and then smoke. Any thoughts on that? The tenderloin, btw, was excellent. Love "wild cow."

 

[medtran49]

Craig made Scramburgers. Sides were some of Aunt L's slaw made previously and smushed new potatoes.

 

[GA Home Cook]

Big crock pot of chili with Fritos, cheese and sour cream.

 

[dragnlaw]

CSW - this is coming from someone who has never smoked a thing in her life - (other than horrid accidental disasters) but I should think you would want to smoke first while the meat is still 'open' . Would not the smoke flavouring penetrate deeper that way?

I can't stand eating out anymore. Everytime I go out, I'm thinking of how I can make this better at home. It drives DH crazy.

Agree 100% - if I must go out I try to get something I wouldn't or can't make at home. Something I've never had and want to see if I like it enough to even try.

And add in the part about how you can make cheaper, too! I'll tell Himself "I could have made us X servings for what one of our dinners cost". ?

I don't mind paying for quality, but I'm annoyed when a meal is just ok.

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

ME TOO!
When we go out to eat, I ALWAYS order what I don't make at home, or something I've been wanting to try at home.
Now DH n the other hand, orders only what he knows, he's not very adventurous when it comes to food.
DH: EWWWW, what's that?
moi: escargot
DH: WHAT?!
moi: snails in garlic butter, try it, it's delicious!
DH: EEWWWWWWW, NO!

The exact reason I never order seafood at a restaurant. We are also at the point, restaurant wise, that we save up to go to a great place for dinner, going out very few times a year. Don't mind paying for great food and service.
