What's f0r dinner Thursday?

13 years ago

Happy Valentine's Day! The c0ld fr0nt has hit us and it's been a dismal day with a little rain. Wish we w0uld get a really nice, hard rain, but s0 far, just drizzles.

I made Harry a Valentine dessert--a banana cream pie fr0m scratch. Well--except f0r the crust. The meringue turned 0ut nicely br0wned. We're having breaded tenderl0in sandwiches and left0ver rice fr0m last night. That rice was really g00d.

H0pe y0ur Valentine's Day has been a great 0ne. We haven't ever celebrated it. Already way t00 many h0lidays t0 celebrate!!

Lloyd's for side order of catfish fingers., That's all I ever get there besides munching on butter and crackers while I'm waiting.

No Valentine's for me, but here's one from me to you. It's one I use when emailing out info to my water aerobics group.

Happy Valentine's Day ya'll!

I finally made it out to get my 'big' groceries today. I only put away the spoilables today. Will attack the rest of them tomorrow.

I fixed a big salad with everything from arugula to nuts to blueberries on it, along with some meat on it for protein. Also made a sweet potato.

J0ann, thanks f0r the reminder--I have left0ver pizza in the freezer! Enj0y! Nic0le, let us kn0w h0w the chili turns 0ut. I have a l0t 0f p0rk in the freezer, als0. Raven, y0u sure are making g00d use 0f y0ur Ar0ma c00ker. I sh0uld l00k at them a little m0re. Phyllis, all I can say is Yum!! I'll have t0 l00k f0r a recipe unless y0u'd like t0 share. Have y0u made them bef0re? Sue, I'd be highly insulted if Harry did that. Vegetable s0up isn't s0mething y0u just thr0w in a p0t. Takes a l0t of ch0pping. And cherry pie?? Well, just send me his piece. ;-) It's my fav0rite. Pam, I bet that was g00d. I have l0ts 0f ribs in the freezer. Bengardening, girl, what I w0uldn't d0 f0r a big pan full 0f fried p0tates. Enj0y them f0r me! Ge0rgysm0m, thanks f0r sharing--c0pied and pasted it int0 my seaf00d recipe file. L0ve all that garlic!

L00ks like it's a red meat night at the Table. We ended up having the left0ver curried chicken salad fr0m last night. Had a call fr0m a dear friend I hadn't talked with f0r a while. Had a t0n 0f catching up t0 d0. Jasdip and Rhiz0--th0se "0's" are driving me right up the wall! Marilyn, it must be y0ur lucky week! I l0ve redfish but with all the restricti0ns 0n size, etc., they're getting pretty rare in restaurants. Raven, d0 y0u have a sm0ker? I sure miss having 0ne. Harry used t0 make the best sm0ked p0rk--and turkey. Sure miss that! Tami, I haven't had Swiss steak in years! What cut beef d0 y0u use? I used a thick piece 0f t0p r0und but that's hard t0 find ar0und here. I l0ve the gravy best--and l0ts 0f it!!

This evening our church had the catered Valentine's supper with entertainment afterward. Supper was, pot roast with gravy, chicken with gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, coleslaw, broccoli salad, rolls, pink fluffy stuff, carrot cake, cherry cobbler, some kind of white fluffy dessert with a crumb crust and cherries on top and iced tea, lemonade or coffee to drink. There were chocolate candies on the table. I gave mine to Alyssa to take home. A nice evening. Sue

We are having heart-shaped meatloaf, mashed potatoes, sweet and sour red cabbage. I've been making this same meal for Valentine's Day for over 40 years. It started as a fun thing for the kids but has continued. funny thing, I have two girls and two boys....the boys have continued the tradition. I get a kick when my son calls every year for the recipe. He has a new girlfriend so it will be her first year for heart-shaped meatloaf. Hope she likes it. I forgot I didn't have any iceberg lettuce so after I put the meatloaf in the oven, I ran out to the grocery store. We're having a lettuce wedge with blue cheese dressing to go with it.

Happy Valentine's Day! .

HMM I have tortellini salads planned, but I am not feeling like fixing it;( I would like to go out , but have heard it was even a zoo at several restaurants just for lunch. YES and and I know this to be true~~I over heard the butcher at the grocery store, talking to a customer about the crowds ;) LOL!! You know you can believe a butcher eh??

So I will see when DH gets home from the gym, if he wants to go out~~get take out or eat what I planned;)

We do not celebrate V-day ever, he is hit and miss with gifts~~he gave me a darling glass ladybug garden stake;) So when I was out grocery shopping today, I bought him his beloved Kettle Corn and a big candy bar. Hoping he will share ;)

I actually cooked a full meal tonight. Remember hubby does most of ours. I made pork tenderloin medallions in a mushrooom wine sauce, sauteed spinach and spaghetti with garlic and oil. We don't do anything for Valentiner's Day, but loved Georgy's mom's story.

wheeee doggeeee we went to the Boat and had the steam boat platter, boiled shrimp, crawfish, and king crab legs with boiled red potatoes and corn on the cover. But he had brought me a box of a dozen giant strawberries dipped in white and regular chocolate and a piece of New York Cheesecake. I will be saving all that for another day, I will share some with my cleaning lady tomorrow.
Nice time.
