Temps dropped 15 degrees in less than an hour, and everything is white. Glenda: There are some foods I could eat several times a week and not get tired of them. Pam: I haven't tried chicken tempura, but I'll bet it's good, especially with all the other dishes. Old Fixer: Steak and salad ----- any day of the week. Jasdip: Lucky gals, being able to get together. What fun that would have been!! I looked up pictures of Chicken Marbella. Really looks good. Ravencajun: Slide some of those ingredients on to a plate, and send it north. Shirley

First time trying this one today: Beef ribs Rub down with your favorite rub. (I just sprinkle generously with seasoning salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder) Wrap tightly in foil and refrigerate over night. Bring to room temperature. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cook for 4 (?) hours (in the foil). Turn on broiler. Drizzle ribs with olive oil and char for about two minutes per side. *** Hubby loves this recipe: Mustard Short Ribs 4 lbs. beef short ribs 1/3 C prepared mustard 1 TB sugar 2 TB lemon juice 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 2 cloves garlic, crushed 4 medium onions, sliced Place beef ribs in shallow glass dish. Mix mustard, sugar, lemon juice, salt, pepper & garlic; spread over beef. Top with onions. Cover and refrigerate, turning beef occasionally, about 24 hours. Brown ribs on the stove. Place ribs in casserole dish or Dutch oven and pour in marinade and onions. Cover and bake in 325 oven about 3-1/2 to 4 hours. *** This is the one I usually use: Braised Short Ribs 2 lbs beef short ribs 1 large clove of garlic, cut in half 1/4 cup flour 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1 tbls paprika 1/4 cup oil 1 (28 oz) can tomatoes 1 cup hot water 1 large carrot, peeled and diced 1 medium onion 1 small bay leaf Cut between the ribs and trim excess fat. Rub with garlic. Combine flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a dish. Roll ribs in mixture. Heat oil in heavy saucepan that can be put in the oven. Add ribs and brown well on all sides. Lift out pieces as they are browned. Drain all except 2 tbsp fat from the pan. Sprinkle in any remaining flour mixture and let bubble, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add tomatoes and hot water all at once, stirring to blend. Return to heat and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Add carrot, onion, bay leaf and ribs. Cover tightly and bake at 325 degrees for about 3 to 3 and 1/2 hours or until meat is tender.

I'm always late when I do post on 'What's for dinner'. My husband is up at 3:20 a.m. and I am up at 4:35 a.m. and we go to bed really early, so I never get online in the evenings..... But we do eat :-) So I like to post once in a while at least! We had cheesy scalloped potatoes with ham, and baby lima beans for dinner last night, and a bowl of sugar free butterscotch pudding for desert. It was a pretty carb heavy dinner, but such a nice change from the usual. Night before was a stuffed pepper half (stuffed with Spanish rice) and fresh asparagus... yummm..... And the night before that was a big fresh veggie salad (cauliflower, green and yellow bell peppers, radish, green onions, carrots, celery) with a homemade honey raspberry vinaigrette! So many good things to eat..... so few dinners in a weeks time! I love to cook and to try new recipes, but I also like to fix our old favorites :-)

Angela: I had salmon patties over the weekend. Good, and good for you. Glenda: I live in an area that is often overcast, so I know your frustration. That's a meal I would like ... another one of your interesting restaurants. Morz: Your meal sounds colorful and good, esp for this time of year. I'm glad you have enough to share. I hope she gets well quickly. Raven: I'd like to be sitting down at your table tonight. Rose: I'm always looking for invites. lol Can you freeze me a couple of cabbage rolls? Jasdip: Hooray for your husband's great results!! I really, really like hot roast beef sandwiches. Georgysmom: Such a good sounding and quick meal. Another of my favorite soups. Susan: I like one dish meals. Tuna noodle is a good choice. Pam: I'll bet your house smells good with all those good things cooking. Sue: I'm a pretty big fan of Arby's ... usually I get regular roast beef with horsey sauce. Nanny: I hope your quiche turned out well. It will be healthier with less salt. I agree about not being able to get enough good news from our fellow posters. Shirley
