Saturday Supper 2025 August 16, what did you have?

[taxlady]

I made an easy supper. I heated some of the red lentil soup I made last week and added some lemon juice, hot sauce, and a blop of yogourt. I had it with a couple of open faced ham and cheese sandwiches on whole grain wheat and sunflower seed bread. I toasted them in the toaster oven.

 

[pacanis]

I had a small bowl of leftovers from the previous night.
I had wanted to make Dorado tacos, so maybe tonight.

Made some rabbit ravioli at the restaurant today and brought some home and a garden salad including some of our local cherry tomatoes spring onion, basil and mint.

 

[Steve Kroll]

I had cheese and potato pierogies with onions and sour cream. Broccoli on the side.

 

[forty_caliber]

Boudin tamales, rice, and beans.

[cjmmytunes]

Leftover pizza from Friday night.

 

[pacanis]

I have one of those combination air fryer/toaster oven, and that thing works fantastic for heating up leftover pizza. Oftentimes the pizza is better the second time around.

 

[Meryl]

My daughter cooked rice noodles with a seafood mix and soya sauce, then she made humous and we had that with crackers.
All very delicious!

 

[dragnlaw]

While butchering a simple recipe for scalloped potatoes my granddaughter invited me upstairs for pizza. My DIL makes great ones. This was a simple one just sauce and cheese. Very yummy,

Later, finished the potato (I made 3 containers) ate one of them, taste was passable but I really did mangle it. Ah well, just 2 more of them to go .
Will cook the last one today and probably freeze them.

 

[Andy M.]

We had panko breaded pork cutlets with a spinach salad and a potato and cheese dish with bacon.

 

[Katie H]

We had the last of the chili, biscuits and cinnamon-swirl cake. Left a nice open space in the refrigerator that will, no doubt, be filled up as usual.

We'll begin again on tomorrow, Sunday.

That reminds me.
Elsewheres, there was a thread on canned chili. Yes, I know, but I'm going there, lol.

So somewhere in the talk about chili, there was mention that some areas in the US, I don't remember where now, eat cinnamon rolls with their chili. Much like normal people eat saltines or cornbread

Being the adventurous type, I picked up a can of Wolf Brand chili (that someone said wasn't too bad) and a package of those cheap cinnamon swirls you see in gas stations and whatnot.

And the two were made for each other. A bite of Wolf chili, a bite of the swirl. It was actually pretty good. Not like adding cinnamon to your chili at all. Unique flavor combination.

 

[Katie H]

I'm not aware of the combo of chili and cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon-swirl cake was our dessert, but I'll have to investigate eating chili and cinnamon rolls together. Perhaps the combination of spicy and sweet is something good.

So much so that I feel like making a run to the store for lunch

Wolf Brand is the only canned chili I will use. I get the no beans version, and put it on a baked potato with some shredded cheese, or pour it on Fritos with cheese to make. "Frito Pie," a Texas staple, especially at Friday night HS football games.

The stuff I had was no beans with sirloin... something like that.
It wasn't my chili, but it wasn't bad either.
Up til then I had only bought Hormel's no beans, when I was making a dip.

And... back in "the day", I did a personal challenge where I made a food item the team playing the Browns was known for.
So I know all about Frito Pie made with Texas Red
I just don't know where the thread is.

 

[Kathleen]

We often have a weekly "Tailgate" thread for each football season. You could kick it off!

 

[pacanis]

That's Frank's thing. The PPPC was just something to motivate myself. I just wish I had done the first season in it's own thread like the second, but I didn't keep good enough track of the recipes anyway Some of them I'd like to make again.
Cincinnati's Goetta not being one of them, lol.

Here's my Texas Red recipe. I've never used it for Frito Pie, but it would work.

Traditional "Texas Red" Chili

This is my version of the original Texas Red chili, and a photo of my Texas Red. No beans, no tomatoes. Here is a recipe. You can adapt it to your tastes. Originally, chili was hearty chuck wagon food for hard working cowboys/vaqueros. You can also use a plant based fat, like vegetable oil, if...
