The Kitchen Table

What's for dinner Friday?

13 years ago

TGIF, everybody! We have to go out in a few minutes so we're going to pick up something for dinner. After my 24 fast, I'm thinkin' a Five Guys burger sounds pretty good. Much as I like their fries, I may have to forego them this time. :-(

What are you having tonight?

Patti I hope you are feeling better today.

I am making sausage and rice casserole.
I was going to make gumbo today but had too much to do so I will do that this weekend.

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!)

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

Glenda, those darned love bugs drive me nuts! I noticed one on the car this afternoon. Hope you asked the Ashley Mac to put the spinach tart back on the menu. Did you have the sour cream biscuit?? Jasdip, do you have your heat on at night? Or just enjoy the coolness? We have the worst Chinese food around here. On the other side of town, there must be 5 gigantic Chinese buffets. Wish we had our favorite small Chinese place we had in Dunedin. Such fresh tasting food. Shirley, I'd be right over if I could taste right, darn it. That sounds so good. We're all eating egg salad, seems like. Hey, it's good to share meal ideas, right? Georgysmom, glad you played well today. See practice pays off!! When does the bathroojm makeover start?

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.

Cheryl and I spent the day out and about again. Shopped at Joann's and Hobby Lobby, I did not buy much. We also looked at some nice refrigerators, have not decided yet. We had lunch at Sirloin Stockade. It was supper time when I headed for home so stopped at McDonald's for a small double burger. It was good. I am really tired and am ready to plop into bed soon. I hope you are much better Patti.

Glenda, the snapper and spinach sound good, but the hominy :-( As you know, I'm not a fan.

Raven, I'm thawing a pound of sausage now. If I don't make gravy with it, I think I'll make a casserole. What do you put in yours? Thanks, I'm feeling so much better today!

Deb, I hope you enjoyed yours as much as we did.

Phyllis, clam chowder sounds nice and warming. Our weather is supposed to be in the low 80's the next few days, so I guess soup's off the menu for a while.

Nita, glad Mike made it home okay. I haven't had a good steak for so long! Enjoy dinner!

Sue, is your refrigerator working at all? Do you have a back up? If mine goes out again, I'll put the house frig in the garage and get either a bottom freezer refrigerator or a French door frig. I've had a few bottom freezers and they are just wonderful, IMHO. Sounds like you had a fun day.

Houndsxtwo, my favorite meal! Geez, that sounds good.

Had a coupon for free ham balls (they're ground ham meatballs in a pineapple sauce) from the Amish market--if you bought something. So I had those, DH had the chicken croquettes we bought. With mashed potatoes and Brussels Sprouts.

A friend and I went to the Mandarin Chinese restaurant today. They have a huge buffet. So that was my meal of the day. I just had tea tonite, but now I'm starting to get hungry.

I might have a bowl of cereal yet tonite.

Patti I have a refrigerator in the club house, but is is not real close to the house and I already had that freezer same as full. No about the only thing working in the refrigerator / freezer are the light bulbs. Yes, I am wanting a French door refrigerator with the bottom freezer. I don't know if that will happen yet or not.
