Anything Cooking At Your House?

16 years ago

I have a pork roast browned with potatoes in the crock pot for supper time. I made some potato salad and gave a lot to Cheryl and I also made some apple salad. The roast smells so good cooking with onions and peppers. I will make some gravy from the broth. I will put some biscuits in the oven too this evening. Are you cooking anything today?

No one home but me today. Too hot to cook so I think I may just have a sandwich later. DH took a sandwich with him for dinner at work.

Fedco has mizuna at a very reasonable price, and if you order at least $30 worth seeds (which wasn't at all difficult for me when I saw the variety they have), shipping is free. I ordered a lot of vegetable seeds, but they have a lot of flower seeds, too, although I don't think they're the special ones some people are looking for. Here is a link that might be useful: Mizuna seeds

"Simple Recipes for Great Food", my type of cookbook, lol! The color & design of those plates are beautiful, great selection, Andi! Sue, enjoy all your goodies! This recipe looked like a simple & great (get it?) use for your pisto: For Omelets: 12 eggs Pinch of salt Pinch of freshly ground pepper 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 1/4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese Pisto sauce In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt and pepper until well blended. In an 8-inch nonstick frying pan or omelet pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. When the foam subsides, add one-sixth of the beaten eggs and immediately stir the center with the flat side of a fork. Then, with the tines of the fork, lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan so that any uncooked egg runs underneath the cooked portion. Vigorously slide the pan back and forth over the burner until the omelet moves freely. When the omelet is lightly cooked but still creamy in the center, mound one-sixth of the cheese over half of the omelet. Using a spatula, lift and fold the uncovered half over the filling. Slide the omelet onto a warmed individual plate and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Cover lightly with aluminum foil and keep warm while you cook the remaining omelets. Serve the omelets piping hot.

There used to be someone else who would post here with the most unbelievable recipes and post a link to her page where she offered free recipes ( all of them awful!) and the site was full of ads...and you can bet tracking spy ware! I am always amazed at what nonsense someone who really has no idea how to cook can come up with...2 pounds of potatoes and 2 cups of fresh herbs! And upon reading the rest of the recipe, she said to cover and roast at 400 for 35 minutes! Rachelellen had it right....braised herbs with potatoes. In a covered pan those potatoes wouldn't even get slightly browned! LOL!

Which came first? Your garden or your cooking?
Q

Gardening came first. I started gardening at 4 with my maternal aunt & uncle. My first experience was helping Uncle Mark graft a grapefruit tree to a lemon tree. The tree is still growing & producing lemons on one side & grapefruit on the other. I love that tree. I taught DH how to love gardening. He had fiddled around in his parent's garden as a kid but never really thought of it as anything except work. I had to teach him that it could be a great hobby. Now, he loves it every bit as much as I. In retirement, we have lots of gardening plans. Here, we grow mostly ornamentals in the English garden style which means we interplant herbs & veggies with the shrubs & perennials. I didn't start cooking until I was on my own. It was either cook or starve since I couldn't afford to eat 3 meals/day in restaurants. Learning to love cooking was more arduous than learning to love gardening. I became a good cook when we started keeping a one-year food pantry. Didn't have much choice. Learning to love cooking came in my 30s when we started doing a lot of corporate entertaining. I love to entertain dragging out all the china, sterling, crystal, etc. Had to have food to serve...so cooking became important. :) I still enjoy cooking for others more than myself. I'm quite content with a carton of yogurt & a piece of fruit for dinner most evenings. We are doing lots more cooking now that DH is retired. I've been teaching him to cook & he's enjoying the process & seems to be a natural in the kitchen. We're having fun together preparing meals while talking about what we want to do in the garden. /tricia

Just tomatoes!!!!

I have chicken pieces marinating in olive oil, garlic, prunes, garlic and capers. I'll pop it in the oven for dinner. With boiled new potatoes and broccoli I guess.

Marylin Sue, your meals ALWAYS make me salivate, especially the pies! If you ever have an extra seat at the table, I'll take it :)

I got 15 pounds of tomatoes from my vines yesterday, plus some peppers and lots of basil, so just made sauce. Took forever, but YUM!

Boneless chicken breasts sauteed in olive oil, sprinkled at the end with chopped fresh basil, chopped fresh garlic, and lemon juice. Really good!

I'll bet all your houses smell divine. I miss those tomato days!

Nope, I've been a slug all day. I was going to make ivamae's blueberry muffins and nanacherie's fig tart today, but I just don't feel much like baking. I'm making a pot of chili for dinner because it'll get me out of the kitchen fast.

Pork tenderloin, potato salad, sliced cukes and tomatoes, and I made Glenda's Okra Casserole for the first time. It is delicious!! I have enough okra to feed a small nation and we're tired of fried okra (don't need much of that). Oh, and we're having Peach Dump Cake and iced tea, also.

Waaaaaa...I wanta eat at your-alls house. I just came home from the market. It is just too hot and humid to do much cooking. If I could still grill outdoors, that would be what I'd do. I bought a small container op p.salad and I'll fry up a couple brats and heat up some beans.

Six dozen chocolate chip cookies and two dozen black bottom cupcakes this afternoon. We're going to Door County, WI tomorrow, up over the Mackinaw Bridge, thru the Upper Penninsula and down to Door County, about a 9 hour drive. Have 2 grands there and our DD and FSIL (only). They will be looking for some when we get there. Can't wait to get there!

Matti5 pull up a chair and join us. We had four others for supper too. Cheryl brought her homemade apple dumplings and they were served with either milk or vanilla ice cream. I didn't do any baking this weekend. I am all finished and hope to watch Big Brother tonight.

I smashed 4 fingers (2 of them feel better today), last night so DH cooked a pasta meal for DS's g/f' b/d dinner. I had a pie in the freezer from last week, so DH baked it. He also did all the dishes.

I baked some cinnamon bread earlier today. Not from scratch though, it sure is yummy even so. :)

For dinner all I made was fried pork chops and scrambled eggs. I was going bake the pork chops with the mushroom gravy and make potatoes but then DH said he wanted them fried with eggs.

I've been in a cooking mood lately. Been watching too many cooking tv programs. Chad was home tonight so I browned some hamburger and added it to macaroni and cheese. Also had a green salad.
I topped it off with 2 store bought peanut butter cookies.

Thanks Marilyn, you are a sweetie!

I'm also a Big Brother fan. This season has been quite exciting. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Who you like or don't like. My favorite is Ragan. My least favorite is Rachel.
