What's for Supper?

15 years ago

A harvest supper tonight. Grabbed a couple young cabbages from the garden, and cleaved them and pitched them into a pot, added a few slices of ham, a shallot or two, some Kosher salt and ground pepper, and it's simmering. Just took out a couple pans of Ozark pudding from the oven, a wonderful old farmer's dessert when you're swimming in apples and into the hot oven went a pan of cornbread. The batter sizzled as I slid it into the hot bacon drippings.

The DH wanted some spuds boiled in with the cabbage, myself I prefer a pan of crispy fried, but I did it his way.

We'll have some homemade applesauce I put up last week from the wonderful, spicy and juicy apples from the mystery tree down in the grotto. I planted it a decade and a half ago, and don't remember the variety, if I ever knew it. But, the last of them are gathered, and they're not long-keepers, so I am pining for next year's crop already. Or, some radishes I picked from the fall garden.

We have fresh Amish butter, homemade strawberry jam or some honey to eat with the corn bread when you're done dipping it in the cabbage and some ice cream for the hot pudding.

Suzy, that sounds YUM!

I went to the village's farmers market earlier this week and they had the prettiest sugar pumpkins. It reminded me that this month's issue of Everyday Food (awesome mag for seasonal menu inspiration) featured a recipe for roasted cubed pumpkin with shallots and sage with rigatoni and goat cheese... we're having that and a salad.

Izzy thought she'd died and gone to heaven because me dicing a peeled pumpkin involved errant cubes leaping to the floor at tantalizing intervals. She (like most dogs) loves pumpkin.

DH found a new recipe he wanted to try and it was yummy! Sort of an Asian stir fry with chicken, lots of veggies and a sauce of peanut butter, curry paste, chicken broth and other wonderful flavors. We had it over rice, and a couple of cookies for dessert.

Wow, what scrumptious sounding meals! Shirley, so nice to hear from you; I hope that you're doing well. I'm a fan of cabbage myself, no matter how it's prepared, including raw. That stuffed cabbage sounds good, I may have to dig out my recipe and make a batch before hot weather gets here. Your chicken sounds good, jazzy. Aren't you glad that you had some leftovers? Texas Gem, I haven't had a taco salad in years, but I used to eat them all the time. And loved them. What a great combination of flavors and textures! Oh Raven, I hope that you had a relaxing evening! You must be absolutely exhausted between all of the stressful traveling and family events. And the illnesses, oh my. Mor, I had to look up flageolet beans and I'm intrigued. Tell me what you like about them. Supper sounds so good. grainlady, as always, I'm in awe. I've often wondered what your kitchen must be like. I'm having blood drawn today and can't eat anything.....why the heck am I reading about this wonderful food? My tummy is growling like crazy, lol.

We were going to have a cold dinner of last nights roast chicken leftovers, whatever else I could find in the refrigerator. Lots of odds and ends, berries, yogurt, blue cheese dressing and lots of salad fixings.... A friend down the street walked in a couple of hours ago and said it had felt like a 'chili' July day. He had chili in a slow cooker, and if you can believe it....the sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, hot sauce all in little bowls. Cornbread, butter, honey. I asked him why he thought he needed to bring cheese, onion, butter, honey to my house (it's not like cupboards are bare here ;0) and he said he just wanted to make sure everything was on hand. We dropped what we were doing (I was cleaning my office), we sat down, ate. We're having a group here for pastitsio, pizza, salad on Tuesday. I'd better call his wife and invite them too.

My son brought me half of his turkey, dressing, I made some mashed potatoes and gravy to go with it. So what did I have? Leftovers of course, without having to make the 'firsts'.

My supper last night consisted of all the leftovers! Not near as good as yours sounded Suzy! It is getting cooler now so that means the oven will be turned on more for roast, chicken and possibly some sweets here and there, like your Ozark Pudding!

It was a braised pork-loin-chop baked on a bed of leftover rice and some of the last of the tomatoes, marinated with onions in balsamic vinegar.
When I want rice,I do have to cook for left-overs, I find it's not possible to cook rice for one.

Supper last night was a ham sandwich, potato chips and a beer. We did go high class with the mustard, though. Grey Poupon and all that. Hey, we spent most all day on the river and didn't get off the river until well after sundown.

Today it's going to be different. Amberjack is in season in the Gulf and my favourite seafood shoppe just happened to have some.
This afternoon it will be grilled amberjack, oysters on the half shell, and seafood jumbo. Have mixed up a batch of Sangria. Red wine, sparking water and slices of apples, oranges, and limes, never the same way twice. Have a key lime pie made just in case we need a desert.

No, I'm not cooking yet on my solar cooker. Just waiting for the additional mirrors I have ordered come in. Early experiments are promising.

It's another ever so pleasant of a day. Gotta dilemma, though. Alabama and Georgia, who are ranked 8th and 3rd, respectively, play tonight just about the same time that Darius Rucker, Beausoleil, Kansas and 38 Special are playing.

Life is full of little decisions....

I would definitely go hear Beausoleil!!!

Our supper last night was so mundane, I won't even discuss it! You good cooks really put me to shame, though I love reading what you're cooking and eating. Saturday night's supper is almost always a big tossed salad with "windings" bought from the store. It's our one foray into fried food! Of course, having it once a week (the fried chicken) means that it's not really a rare treat, is it? :>)

Just lamb chops, will broil some eggplant slices with them. Leone made an apple cake from our own supply of apples. Looked like she put at least 4 to 5 cups of chopped apples in the batter. Sure smelled good while it was baking.

The plan for tonight was a bit ambitious. Nice spaghetti sauce simmered with meatballs and chicken legs. I love chicken cooked in sauce. Then the sauce was to go on stuffed shells. Since Christy is a major carnivore I planned to make her chicken parm. Well, the rain the past days had me hurting so much that I had to compromise. I skipped the meatballs and made the sauce bolognese style, but with tons of fresh basil. Skipped the stuffed shells until later in the week. I did make the chicken parm and it came out better than ever. Butterflied the breasts and used fresh breadcrumbs. Fried quickly on very high heat then finished in oven for ten minutes, with cheese going on last five. Excellent. We had cappellini to go with the sauce and the chicken parm. Some nice refreshing salad and we were good to go.
