Supper Time on Tuesday!

I have no idea what I will find to munch on tonight. I have been gone all day and I am not too hungry. He is having oatmeal and applesauce. How about you, what are you feasting on this evening?

Another potato casserole--the best thing ever for cold weather. I used left-over sliced baked potatoes, frozen peas, diced sausage, onion, granulated garlic, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and enough milk to cover the potatoes. Basil, salt and pepper to taste, and more cheese on top. I had part of a sweet red pepper left from something else, so I sliced it thinly and made a 'pinwheel' on top of the cheese.

I have strawberry oat bars almost ready to come out of the oven.

We are going out for supper tonight for my daughter's birthday meal. My youngest turned 17 yesterday but decided to wait for her meal until her older sister arrives home from college in about an hour and a half. The bad thing is, she hasn't decided where she wants to go.

I have decided "Da*n the torpedoes, Four bells, Captain Drayton, go ahead. Jouett, full speed."! or more commonly known as da*n the torpedoes full speed ahead! with my son's very limited meal repertoire. We had Chicken Kiev, and he liked it. He said he might choose it again, but he would change the spices. It was a really low key butter with only parsley, chives and lemon. Maybe he wanted chilis and red pepper flakes? Might not be too bad to spice it up some. I'm thinking pork tenderloin with bourbon cream sauce tonight. That'd really push him. He says he doesn't like gravy or sauces. How can anyone live in the South and not eat gravy? I'm so ashamed (not really)!

Years ago in college my brother tried to make beer bread by following our mother's recipe. However the recipe had a couple of specific ingredients and steps that he felt "couldn't possible make a difference". One was that you should use a can of warm beer, but he only ever bought bottle beer so he used one of those. It also said the ingredients should be mixed in a glass bowl with a wooden spoon, but his college apartment kitchen only had a metal mixing bowl and a sturdy plastic spoon. Well, some part of those specifications was clearly necessary or he did something else wrong, because the bread rose not-at-all. It was thick and dense and a little chewy, about the consistency of brownies. You might think beer-flavored "brownies" might be a hit with male college students, but no, not so much.

My daughter cooked--stir fried vegetables with chickpeas, red quinoa, and left-over angel hair pasta. Last night I cooked--angel hair pasta with poached salmon, peas, and asparagus.

Really hit the spot. I've been thinking about those salmon cakes for a week.To make a basic Hawaiian macaroni salad, you don’t need a recipe; just follow these guidelines: The pasta: Cook 1 pound elbow macaroni (for really local style, cook until soft and fat, but you can go al dente if you prefer). The flavoring: Stir in ¼ cup very finely grated onion. Not minced, chopped or sliced—grated. It should be liquidy (this is how they do it at Diner’s, a local eatery in Kalihi). The mayo: At least 2½ cups for real local style. But there are no rules, so use less if you like. Or more. The add-ins: Carrots, watercress, celery, hard-boiled eggs, pickle relish (try some frozen, thawed peas) whatever suits you. The finale: Salt and pepper, to taste. Stir well; refrigerate. * I don't use pickle relish. I add some grated carrots, dill pickle (diced fine) some grated cheddar cheese and sliced black olives.

My feast was homemade split pea soup, along with a toasted cheese sandwich. Went looking for something in my freezer and found a loaf of Ezekiel bread. Doesn't take a lot to make me happy. Surely was good to make my toasted cheese with. Meals on Wheels had brought me a couple of Milano cookies today. That was my dessert. Thank God for MoW.

Well for lunch, I had Mrs. Murphy's Meatballs. They are a kind of porcupine meatball I found online with onion, cabbage, celery, green pepper and rice in the meatballs. I used Campbell's Vegetable Beef soup (ABC noodles) rather than the tomato soup to cook them in. I like that flavor better, which a friend used in her porcupine meatballs eons ago. You put them in the frying pan with the soup and a 1/2 can water raw. Cook them 45 minutes on low, turn them over for another 45 minutes, add a little more water if necessary. Nice lunch.

Monday night we had 5 guests over for dinner. The menu was:

Appetizers: Three cheeses, olive assortment, smoked salmon dip.

Spring Leaf Salad with blue cheese crumbles and a balsamic vinaigrette

Curried squash soup. Roast pork tenderloins, Broccoli-Cauliflower Au Gratin, Cornbread Casserole, and a pretty good store-bought Tiramisu for dessert.

Tonight was various leftovers from last nights meal.

Ever since socks posted about seeing the pizza whenever she came to the KT, all I see is her post about the pizza....never noticed by me until she complained!

So I had to get pizza out of my system last night, lol. Thanks, socks.

Ours was made with a garlicky white sauce, topped with shrimp, a few chopped onions and sweet red peppers, hot pepper flakes, and mozzarella. We had a salad with supper, too.

I made a big pot of pork barley soup last night. Hit the spot when hubby got home from working outside in 17 degree weather all day.

I just added patty melts to my next menu plan. Those sound so good right now. Thanks, raven.
