What's for Dinner ... Friday?

11 years ago

There's a cold, drizzly rain going on here right now. Supposed to get a fair amount of rain over today and tomorrow. Wish I had a fire place to sit in front of right now.

I will just be having a Stouffer's entree in a little while. Salisbury steak w/mac/cheese.

What will be or was on your plate for your main meal?

Well lunch was not very exciting-we ate at my work around 2. My husband came to where I work with turkey & Swiss sandwiches & apples & oranges. I enjoyed the sandwich but am not a big fruit eater-oh well at least I had something to eat. The office next door closes at 2 on Fridays leaving me the only person in the building until we close at 4. So when I am scheduled to work on Fridays my husband & little dog Biscuit come to "babysit" me. Which I greatly appreciate!!

Busy day today (really, about the last 10 or so days) and we're doing our easy fall back dinner. DH is outside roasting potatoes and will do a quick steak on the grill, I'm going to just steam some asparagus and rinse some blueberries for some antioxidants... I think I'll do a nicer dinner at some point this weekend, I somehow have a sale ham in each of two refrigerators, use by dates on both first week in June. One I'll freeze, the other I'll cook. We'll probably be having ham with au gratin potatoes, ham and bean soup, ham and eggs - all next week ;)

We shared some blue crab nachos for lunch which were very good. For dinner we are going to use the remaining grilled shrimp from last night add some homemade Pico made with Vidalia onions and fresh tomatoes and lime juice a little shredded lettuce and wrap it up in a flour tortilla. I have cantaloupe and fresh cherries for desert. The wind is gusting very strong here at the beach today, I was wondering if we were going to blow away! Other than that beautiful day here today. They served home made fresh cooked potato chips with our lunch, they were fried dark and seasoned with Fajita seasoning... Omg mmm... I could eat a sinful amount of those.

Its confusing because it goes against what has been the accepted common knowledge since perhaps the early 1800's. The farmers growing them and calling them yams, are wrong. The grocers selling them and calling them yams, are wrong. The companies canning them and labeling them as yams, are wrong. The people who first introduced them to the United States called them yams, perhaps to distinguish them from the different variety of sweet potatoes that were already on the market, they were wrong too. Even some sites on the web that try to explain the difference with helpful images like this one: http://www.frugallivingnw.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/yams-sweet-potatoes-is-there-a-difference-2.jpg are wrong. (hint they are all sweet potatoes, despite their labels) So it is not at all surprising that what I learned at a young age from my mother and grandmother, and which was continually re-enforced every Thanksgiving or every time I visited a grocery store, is wrong. I have never eaten a true yam in my life, and seeing some of the pictures of what a true yam look like, I probably never will. Does it harm me in any way if other people choose to call some varieties of sweet potatoes "yams", no. It merely bothers the pedantic part of me a little when someone asserts something to be a fact, when they are in fact wrong.

It's a dreary day here again but it's 75 so much warmer. Extremely humid!

Tonight I am making a tamales casserole.
I buy the pre-made tamales at Costco, they are very good and very large.
I unwrap them put them in a sprayed 8x8 glass casserole dish, I spread chili over the top (home made or canned which ever I have) sprinkle on a small can of drained sliced black olives, a drained small can of mexi corn, drained black beans are optional, then top it with a big pile of grated Mexican blend cheese, or your favorite. Sometimes I used to white queso cheese. It's all good. Heat at 375 for 45 minutes or so until it's all bubbly, hot, and melted. I serve it will tortilla chips and salsa, sour cream, and diced avocado, diced tomatoes when available.
Extremely easy and yummy.

I've just put a chicken in the oven to roast, along with some sweet potatoes and carrots. Probably make some green beans almondine, too. Never got around to it for T'giving.

I sure hope you're feeling better Sue!!!! I'm sorry you're ill.

Rhizo, I was surprised to read that you're having a roast chicken, I'm glad you explained it.

We just had hotdogs and mixed veggies and some chips.

Sue: Sorry to hear about you and other family members being sick. I hope you're well very, very soon.

Glenda: Steak .... My kind of meal.

Raven: You make such interesting meals. I'd like a small serving of tonight's casserole.

Rhizo: What a good, tasty, and healthy meal you were making.

Ellen: Your meal sounds scrumptious. Wouldn't mind sharing.

Jasdip: My 3 favorite ways to eat a hotdog: 1. chopped up in pork n beans. 2. coney 3. just plain with or without a bun... maybe a few onions and mustard.

Angela: I'll bet your husband was happy to have such a meal being placed in front of him. I know I would be.
