What's for dinner Friday?

14 years ago

Still enjoying having the kids here but I have to admit I'm getting mighty tired of the kitchen. Our dishwasher isn't working right--sure didn't need this!

I roasted a turkey breast this morning and made potato salad. We'll have corn on the cob and sliced tomatoes, too. Strawberries with whipped cream made from coconut milk.

What are you having tonight?

Tomorrow we are taking them to Homosassa for two days so if anyone thinks about it and wants to start the post, please do. (But there will be no cooking, TYL.)

Mama sure could use a nap!

Best friend is back in town after being away for 3 weeks.

So we did catchup over lunch at the Tavern at the Summit.

We both enjoyed their yummy cobb salad.

Our landlady took ill and recently passed away. The daughter is keeping the building, and we're helping her, as we like it, and it's a really nice building. At some point I'll take some pics of it.

DH and I filled pails, bags and bins with free compost that the city gives out, and we spread it over the lawn, and I'm also making a little herb garden, soon.

DH cut the grass, I sprinkled compost over the bald patches, sprinkled grass seed, and put mulch around the trees. We wanted to get it all done before it rains tonite.

Just had leftover pasta, and DH is getting ready to head out soon to play tonite.

Dinner will be pizza.. Kellan will learn how to make pizza dough tonight. It's one of his fav things to eat..so I figure he should learn how easy it is to make. Might be the one "meal" he'll be able to cook some day..(he thinks the microwave was created just for him.) lol The other two boys know their way around the kitchen..he's never been interested.. Weekend...um...Football...Kamren has a double game set out of town..first game day of the season. Dad will join his team in the am at their time slot for the annual car wash fundraiser, before we leave. Sunday..Kamren's teams turn at the car wash..I will not be at either car wash time slot...lol... So the time we are home this weekend..I will be in the garden or in the kitchen..or on the deck..catching more Vitamin D...or all three things is probably closer to the truth.. Oh Patti here's a recipe for you. Cinnamon Cream Biscuits Set the oven to 425F. Combine 2 cups of flour with 1T of brown sugar, 1/2t salt, 2t of baking powder. Mix well, breaking up the brown sugar if needed. Stir in 1 1/2 c of cream with a fork, when mostly together put out on the counter(lightly floured if you have a sticky surface) and knead a few times to incorporate all the dry bits. Pat into a 9" square. Cut into 9 squares. In a small bowl have 1/2c sugar a big T of cinnamon mixed together. Dust both sides of the squares with the cinnamon sugar. Put them into a buttered 9" square pan. Make them fit. Bake at 425F until puffed and baked through, about 12-14 min. Pull out of the oven. Mix 1/2c cream with 1/2c or so powdered sugar and a good glug of vanilla. You'll want a thick but pourable icing, so adjust the sugar as needed. Pour half over the hot biscuits..wait about ten minutes, (it will mostly soak in), then pour over the rest. Scoop out the pieces with a spatuala and eat warm with a fork. Kellan loves the leftovers slighlty rewarmed in the micro. (Lol suprise!)

We went to Richmond today to look at some counter top slabs........ Went to lunch at a restaurant my hairdresser recommended last night. Good Italian food. DH was very pleased. We had fried calamari to share, he had lasagna and I had three mushroom stuffed ravioli and we shared an apple croustade topped with vanilla bean ice cream. On top of all that, you could choose from their special pasta menu for two pastas to take home. all that for $40.00. I have two orders of spaghetti and meatballs sitting in the fridge for tomorrow night. Isn't that grand? I'm playing catch-up on the weary body after the beginning of this week. LOL

Oh, Patti, and here I was complaining about my overly busy day and how tired I was............and mine was nothing like yours. Rest well. Glenda, they opened a deli in my small town. I guess it's been there for a while, but I'd not heard of it. My 4 sisters and I went there today. They got chicken salad on a croissant, but I got a roast beef. You got a choice of potato salad or soup, and your choice of coffee, tea or pop. The sandwiches were all huge and none of us could eat more than half. I lucked out. I not only brought home my half sandwich but one of my sisters as well. So my evening meal was free. Shirley

I'm so glad you were able to eat a bit of food Patti! That's a great sight to see. We ate really late. I decided I wanted to have a pork picnic shoulder that was on sale for dinner. Boiled with potatoes. So we went to the store to get it and I boiled it for about 3 hours. Some potatoes went in the pot and some carrots later on. We just love ham that way. This is the second time I've done it, the first was with green beans. Hubby and I couldn't get enough tonite! :) I've got all this wonderful ham stock and we don't like a ham and pea type soup. But I'm planning to make cabbage soup tomorrow and I'm definitely going to be using some of the stock in that. I think it will taste great. Also I can see it as a base for potato soup for some yummy flavour. So I'd better be freezing the stock.

This was my 'big' grocery day out of town. We went to Shoney's for lunch. We had their buffet, and as usual, I ate way too much. So for my supper, I had a bologna sandwich and a glass of chocolate milk.

Shirley, who wishes someone would come by and finish putting away the groceries.

We were in Tucson for the day. Had lunch at an excellent Mexican restaurant. I had steak fajitas, refried beans and some other things. Not hungry for dinner so I just cleaned and sliced some beautiful strawberries that we bought at Costco. I topped them with whipped cream, they were delicious.

Some of the kids were here for supper as they were doing some garden work. I fixed the pork barbecue for sandwiches, mac and cheese, radishes from the garden. For dessert we had the pineapple upside down cake I made and the brownies.

We went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. It was all very good. I had sopas (?), which were new to me.

Jasdip: You are so fortunate to have free compost, and enough to use on your lawn! I make compost all spring and summer, and by the fall only have enough to cover part of our small vegetable garden.

I perked right up when I read you will be planting an herb garden.I love herbs. What kind will you be growing?
