That bread is beautiful MsM!!

I'm feeling better Dawg, although weak and shakey because of all the meds I think. I'm not a very patient patient. Thanks for asking.

Thank you Kay. Glad your feeling better. Wish I could send you a bowl of soup and some bread.

SIL is arriving from Florida so I have no clue. We may go out or do something simple here.

So, it's settled. SonIL wants Chinese, so were off to a restaurant for dinner. That's never a problem for me.

 

[bakechef]

Who told you I was coming for dinner? I wanted it to be a surprise! LOL Sounds like a wonderful dinner. YUMMY

A little bird told me,

 

[bakechef]

Sounds good!

The important question is what's for dessert?

The guests might be bringing dessert, if not, I have some apple spice cupcakes in the freezer and I'll whip up a quick cinnamon buttercream to top them off!

I would be terrified to bring dessert to your house!

Have fun!

LOL, that can be a problem, I hate that people feel intimidated. Luckily, these friends and some others are brave souls!

If I would have known they were coming earlier, I would have baked some fresh bread, but since I didn't, Harris Teeter to the rescue!

 

[Somebunny]

Sounds like whole lotta ham happening today on this thread ;-). I will add to that..... I am thinking Jambalaya which will allow me to use the last of that inferior ham from the other day, lol! I have some prawns and some andouille and some chicken thighs, that should do it.... protein packed! Maybe coleslaw on the side and some crusty bread.

 

[purple.alien.giraffe]

Got the soup on the stove. The house smells like onions and garlic and ham and bacon.

 

[babetoo]

leftovers same as yesterday. i like not having to cook on the week-end.

 

[spiceoflife]

Grilled (on the BBQ) wild salmon (Yay Costco... it was sooo hard to pass up the boneless short ribs due to the thread here) on a bed of quinoa pilaf and a big old pile of swiss chard/silver beet sauteed with a little garlic and olive oil. Drinking an unoaked NZ Chardonnay.

Hey if I can't go out to dinner, I might as well have date night at home. Happy Saturday night guys!

And the kids are making strawberry muffins with my help.

I ended up making a steak salad from romaine, carrots, onions, tomatoes, blue cheese, croutons, french fries, grilled ribeye and ranch dressing.

Nice, VB! Extra fork please?

Pac, I knew you would do good!

And all you guys with a Costco need to stop it! Right now! Dang, I love Costco. We don't have one.

 

[danbuter]

I ate at Panera Bread for lunch. Got the greek salad and tomato soup. Both were excellent.

I had a bowl of manhattan clam chowder for dinner.

Basically, I took the day off from any serious cooking .

 

[Katie H]

We had mashed potatoes, stewed cabbage/onions/tomatoes, grilled Polish sausage, iced tea and vanilla pound cake for dessert.

 

[Somebunny]

Some good looking/sounding meals tonight folks ;-) My Jambalaya turned out well, very tasty.

 

[spiceoflife]

I never knew Gumbo or Jambalaya until recently. Made a friend who is from Louisiana and she has been feeding me these things. How could I not have known these things my entire life?

Thank you for these amazing comfort foods. When I first tasted them it was like coming home.

 

[msmofet]

That salad sounds good PaC.

chicken pot pie

This looks absolutely fantastic. Beautiful mouth watering picture. Is that biscuit crust? Have you posted this recipe?
