I'm Back With Pictures To Share

15 years ago

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't been around much. Life's been pretty crazy lately (long story). Now I'm back with pictures to share!!!! I hope you brought your appetites!!!

Tonight, mom and I made cole slaw. She doesn't like carrots in hers so I told her yesterday how about using that Vidalia Onion Dressing in it? So we made it and when we did the taste test, it was good! Here's how we made it.

First we mixed up the dressing in the bowl, then chopped the cabbage using this old fashioned chopper (works like a dream and is a great stress reliever!).

Now add salt and pepper and just mix it all up....

Pour into covered bowl and chill!

We used a medium head of cabbage for this batch. Here's the recipe for the dressing again (we doubled the recipe that I'd written on the card):

2 cups onions

4 T. vinegar (I used red wine vinegar, the original recipe calls for rice wine)

2 T. brown sugar, packed

1 cup mayo

Here's a dish that's one of my favorites: chicken fried steak! (Also called country fried steak). So simple and delicious! (The corn on the cob we got from Schwan's and the potatoes and gravy were instant LOL!)

Finally, I wrap up with the famed, ever so satisfying, BLFGT. Heaven between two slices of toast! With the dressing!

All ready to eat! This really hit the spot!

Enjoy!!!!

Brad, I love coleslaw, so that looks especially yummy to me, although I wouldn't pass up the BLFGT either!

I love that you cook for your Mom. :-)

Teresa, your post didnÂt get lost, I think it was on the other thread, grin. IÂd like to cover Wales, Scotland and the lake district next time. I wasnÂt as impressed with Bath as much as everyone else is. Over run by tourists, and IÂm more interested in history than architecture. Mitch, nope, we were heading for dinner next door at the time, so no Sally Lunns for us, I figured I could make them at home, myself. Bizzo, LOL, I tried pushing through that wall heh heh, would have been shorter than the drive to OxfordÂs Christ Church college for the dining hall of Hogwarts. Linda, wait a bit. The dollar is a bit stronger (1.6 exchange, better than the 2.0 of a few years ago) now but it was still horrifically expensive. Pam, nope no cupboards for me, LOL! There are whole HP filming site tours, kids weren't interested, :-(

I have been doing craft shows since 1996........biggest year i did 14 show dates, about 11 shows, almost every weekend from the end of sept till 1st week in dec. MAJOR burnout!! Some are just good learning experiences, some you actually make money at! What ever you are SURE will sell never does...and the stuff you think you couldn't GIVE away people want, I mean really want! Just don't set yourself up for a let down (like saying, I KNOW I'm going to sell EVERYTHING & make tons of money) & you'll be fine. Just go, & plan to have a good time, & learn some things & you'll be fine. Hazel

I'm back - 1st draft of our houseplan and kitchen input please
Q

Hi all. We met with our house designer today. The goods and the bads. Bonus - he was able to give me another foot on the fridge wall (yay) so that helps with the blind corner (I want to close it off to preserve drawers) and the pantry was also enlarged which will allow for my small chest freezer. The overall kitchen dimension is 9' x 15'. The 'it will have to do': pantry is still around the corner. I think it will be okay. It will keep my peeps out of the sink/stove area. They will access pantry for cereal and snacks and the fridge is right there out of my work zone. I could get creative and have the kitchen side cabs open to the pantry and put the cereal and most used items there - how fun would that be? Because that wall backs to pantry I can also recess the cabs and fridge if I need them deeper as well. The MW has to go on that wall...and they are deeper than 12". I am feeling much relieved as this last draft that he did for us (he already sent it because our changes were few and to other parts of the house) is 99% on. We are still studying it though. :) I will post this latest draft with a few questions and see what you all think. There are 2 main things I am contemplating. One is the cupboard pantry reach through (I think dh would think that is CRAZY) but I think it may be a perfect compromise. Would that be something that is super expensive to do? The other is still trying to fit in this sort of thing. It is Michelle16's and she has a fridge and pantry flanking whereas I'd have just the fridge to the right and a corner would be on the left. I have 4' to play with there from fridge to where corner would start. I will try to post the new layout tonight but it may not be until tomorrow! Thanks. Lisa

Zack, when you say 'compost', what kind do you mean? I have seen some that holds water like mud....The kind you make yourself or dehydrated manure which tends to stay wet a lot? Do they even sell compost that would fit the bill that I could amend both areas tomorrow? They are still both almost dormant, not leafing out yet....I'm guessing I should use peat, maybe perlite, the yard soil and compost? Funny, we don't get enough rain any more in summers, always in drought in which I have to hand water, yet it seems it still has to drain well.. As you can tell, it's my first time growing any rose since the only one I had since last year, and that one did not fare well..Thank you

Thanks Linda and Annie!

lol Annie, I didn't really cook for her or dad. I usually help her; but I do some of the cooking here at home. I do fry the bacon, tomatoes, pork chops and the steaks. I helped her make bread pudding the other day. That was REALLY good! I just ate some of the cole slaw and it turned out just fine!

It took me awhile on the FGT also! LOL

I'm going to try your dressing, it looks delish, as does everything else.

Now I want a BLFGT!!

lol Well I'm glad you've guys enjoyed the pictures! Sorry I should have clarified what FGT stood for. LOL that made me chuckle too. The chicken fried steak and BLFGT pictures I took a while back and sadly that was the second and last BLFGT I enjoyed of the year (I'm out of batter lol). We had chicken fried steak not too long ago though.

Trixietx, please let me know how the dressing works out for you! Don't be worried if it looks runny. The recipe I gave was doubled the amounts written on the card. How are you going to try it? If anyone wants a recipe for the chicken fried steak, let me know too and I will post it!

Thanks for the photos! I never did get the FGT - I was stuck on thinking that F meant "fish", and then I wanted to think that G mean "gefilte", but of course that didn't make sense. Anyway, you could make some fried fish and use your cole slaw to make fish tacos, if you have some corn tortillas.
