My supper was tuna patties, tomato wedges and fried puff balls.

Sue

Sue, do you mean puffball mushrooms? If so......tell me more!

Leftover pizza and salad.

Rhizo: Did you buy the grains already mixed that way, or do it yourself? Was wondering how long you had to cook the mixture.

I had meatloaf, a potato, and steamed corn. Tomato wedges would have been the perfect item to go with it. But alas, no tomatoes.

I too am waiting to find out what puff balls are.

Shirley

Yes, puffball mushrooms. Picked it out of my yard. They grow every year. Very good. I just floured them with pancake mix and salt and pepper and fried them.

Sue

Rhizo, is there room for me at your table?? Your mixed grains sound delicious!

We had some ham, leftover potatoes, and cauliflower.
Fresh applesauce for dessert

Fresh salmon steaks for hubby. Lamb chop for me. Mashed potato casserole (leftover mashe potatoes, half and half, shredded cheese and green onions, baked until brown and crispy on top) and steamed cauliflower with cheese sauce.

I have been purchasing Royal Blend mixtures from Rice Select for a long time. There are several different blends and all are delicious. There are NO added salt or seasonings, just the grains.

Measure the mixture into a pot, add your water or broth, butter (or not), raw veggies....bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for45 minutes....according to directions, but it doesn't take that long.

The recipe possibilities are truly endless. If adding canned soup, do so at the end. Our favorite is to add smoked sausage and raw shrimp.

Royal Blends can be purchased at any decent grocery store, look for the clear plastic jars with the rest of the dried rice. You won't believe how good they are. They do make a 'quick ' cooking option, which Robert bought by mistake, it's pretty awful.

Hamburgers grilled outside.

Made some marinara sauce this afternoon. We're just going to have some six cheese frozen tortellini and a tossed salad. I'm tired today. Didn't do much. Just baked some banana bread and an apple cake and did some grocery shopping.

Eggplant parmesan stacks and mixed green salad with balsamic vinaigrette. A couple of pieces of See's candy for dessert :)

Gracious, but there are some great sounding dishes tonight! Can you imagine a pot luck between the KT peeps?

Sue, I am seriously interested in the puffballs. I've known that they're very desirable as an edible but have never found any young ones in an area where I wanted to collect. Have you ever just sauteed them in some butter...no batter?

did pizza, on this bread we found at sam's club...

I did not use batter on the puffballs, just the dry pancake mix. I used canola oil. They have a taste similar to morels, but not as good.

Sue

Thanks, Sue. Appreciate the info about the puffballs.

Susan, love homemade pizza! We're on a garlicy white sauce kick lately, but it's hard to beat a homemade pizza no matter what's on it.
