I cooked some dried lima beans. Had a bowl of them, and a piece of meatloaf I'd made earlier this week. It's so cold, windy, wet, miserable here in my part of Ohio. But so far the snowfall today has been only a slight covering. Shirley (Ellen: Glad to see you start the thread today.)

Pam, we generally eat around 5. Today was super easy, threw the ziti in the microwave! Laura, don't ever worry about posting meals, a number of us have breakfast for dinner and that kind of thing. Less-than exotic meals! LOL Sue, I thought your meal was so good, real comfort food. Then I read "tv dinner". Too funny. Raven, Can you ship me some of your leftovers??? Ribs and brussels sprouts. Oh yummy. Laura we like tuna casserole, I make a roux and put hot sauce in, and peas. Gotta have peas in mine. Pam we like grilled pork chops better than steak! Are your potatoes on the grill as well? Lately I've been cutting the potatoes in slices and grilling them that way.

Warmer here today - around 86. Because of all the rain over the last couple of days, it was very humid. I was so glad to see the sun! Our summer has been cooler than normal. I don't remember a 100 degree day so far. It was cooler than normal last year too. We went out for Mexican tonight. Had a delicious carne asada.

Sue, BLT's are so good! I'll have to buy some bacon and do that. Shirley, I didn't know that Ponderosas were still around. I'm glad that your dinner companion made up for the so-so food. OF, frozen pizza and Kool-Aid. Interesting combo Jim, bbq wings are good without the sauce! Even better with home-grown and CSA grown veggies. Raven, gotta love leftovers. We have leftovers regularly, as I don't know how to cook enough for just 2 people. Rhizo, I usually make pancakes from scratch with flour, egg and sour cream. Could I just use buttermilk in place of the sour cream?
