I Am Back Home and What's for Supper?

14 years ago

I am back home from visiting Mother in the nursing home. She was looking as well as could be expected I guess. After our visit we ate at Jim Dandy. I so love their iced tea and guess what you can buy a box of it! I bought a box of 100 bags for $5.99. It is called Irani tea. I haven't found it around here in the stores as I have been looking for months. It made my day to be able to get some.

After we took Terri home we picked up our two dogs and went back into town to visit a bit with Cheryl's in laws who were at their house they have up for sale. I finally made it home and am trying to rest a bit. I will probably be puppy sitting for KC later. I have no plans for supper as hubby won't be eating at home. Do you have plans for your meal?

What am I, a wasp magnet? Is there a 'sting me' sign on my back?

Me too Nativemel. A few days ago I was eating grapes from my vines when several wasps flew from under the vines and one stung me on my left hand which I have little feeling. Then Today I was on my tractor mowing near my bee hives when I notice one of my big fat girls getting ready to insert her stinger on my left thigh. I screech and stepped on the pedal and barely got stung. I was glad that they are going for my left since the stroke left me with little feeling on my left. Bees become aggressive with the change in barometric pressure. Our weather here has been stormy. We have gotten allot of rain for the past couple of weeks. Water retention areas are full and the smaller lakes and ponds. The growth in vegetation has increase with all the moisture and so has the wasp population. Bee keeping instructor told me to use colgate tooth paste on bee stings after the stinger has been removed by scraping it off with your fingernail. Do not pull it. Felix

rosiequilts, I lost 50 pounds last year by calorie counting, which is just another way of saying "eating-loads-of-fruits-&-veggies-so-you-can-eat-the-most-food-with-the-fewest-calories". I learned to love vegetables! A pile of eggplant, onions, mushrooms & peppers with a little spaghetti sauce on just 2 oz. of pasta & 1/4 cup grated mozzarella is delicious & filling. Spaghetti squash can be substituted for the pasta (just put the spaghetti squash whole in a crock pot & it's done in 4-6 hours). For salads, I love to mix spinach, lettuce, diced raw green beans, carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes and use 1/3 cup dried cranberries for dressing, or sometimes green olives and a little of the olive juice in the jar. If fresh produce isn't on hand, then combining frozen veggies & cooking in the microwave is tasty: kale, lima beans & cauliflower, for example. Veggies in combination taste much better than just plain. In winter I enjoy turnip greens & squashes. Cabbage is a versatile veggie, good for filler in soups & stews, sauteed, microwaved, or sliced for low-fat cole slaw made with Splenda. For munchies, I love to microwave a tub of Brussels sprouts or cauliflower & keep it in the fridge for mindless snacking (you know, when you get those urges to eat but you're not really hungry). A little butter or oil won't hurt you and, in fact, makes the vegetables more nutritious. Your body absorbs the nutrients better when a little fat is present with the veggies. Sometimes I like to make a green sauce of chopped fresh spinach & French parsley in a little cream & parmesan cheese, heated in a sauce pot. I serve this over a big plate of broccoli & cauliflower, and it's delicious. There are so few calories in the veggies that you can afford to indulge in the cream sauce. But then, that's dinner -- no bread, no side dishes, no heavy meats. Anyway, didn't mean to hijack this thread. Just wanted to pass on some good veggie food ideas. When you walk through the cookie/cracker aisle with indifference, but your mouth starts watering when you get to the produce section, you know you've made a good change!

What's for supper at your house tonight?

Costco chickens are brined (soaked in salty water or injected with same before cooking, i don't know which process they use) . That's why the end result is consistently "juicy". The liquid at the bottom of the container is more water than fat but it does seem to mix together and get gelatinous when cooled. The product's convenience and price are tempting but we stopped buying them when they had their episodes in our area of bacterial contamination and periodic undercooking in the stores. That's a bad combination for chicken.

Happy Holidays Everyone! Michele, Makayla and Kaden are on their way here now. DH is on his way home from work as I type, dinner tonight we are going to have hamburgers cooked on the inside grill along with mac and cheese. For our dinner tomorrow it is going to be very easy; I order a lunch with platter that comes with rolls, potato salad, cole slaw and pickles, I have plenty of sweets made and Michele is going to cook some kielbasa with sauerkraut.

Chicken and rice, peas or lima beans (frozen), and sliced mango. It was last night's dinner, but DH went to the grocery and came home with a large Italian sub.

Glad your mother is doing well. Bet she enjoyed your visit. Is Jim Dandy a chain? I don't think we have them here.

We're doing home made submarine sandwiches and corn on the cob for supper tonight. Quick and easy but pretty tasty.

I think Jim Dandy has a few resturants only in Indiana. We did have one in Elwood but it closed :( We had the buffet. I guess they have a different buffet each day through the week. Some of the things they had today was of course the usual salad stuff, chicken pot pie, salsbury steak, fried shrimp, fried okra, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, green beans, mac and cheese, beef vegetable soup (it was good and homemade), chicken noodle soup, corn bread and fried rolls with apple butter! I know we three really enjoyed it!

I had a crock pot full of lima beans and ham bone that I started yesterday. I took a pork roast out of the freezer to slice and add to, but DH emailed me and told me that a place down the road has all you can eat tacos tonite, we may go there. I don't care for tacos, but DH loves them. I will probably drink some tea and eat a sampler or something.

I'd been doing divorce finances all day, so my dinner was chinese chicken salad, which I ordered online thru our local (and only) chinese restaurant (thank goodness they are actually GOOD), and spring rolls. 15 minutes later I was in town, picking up the order. Very very good. They use a peanut vinagrette dressing that is simply yummy.
