patti skipped out for dinner: what's for dinner
Comments (18)I'm back from dinner. It was great visiting with our snowbird friends and we talked for over two hours. We were neighbors when we both lived in the boonies and they moved back to Ohio shortly after we moved. We went on a cruise together with others from the neighborhood and had so much fun with them once. So now we e-mail and get together once a year :-( Dinner--not so good. I ordered the fettucini alfredo with bacon-wrapped sea scallops. The salad that came with it was very good,the scallops cooked just right but the alfredo was disappointing, to say the least. It was a big plate of angel hair pasta with a huge glob of alfredo sauce out of a jar. Ick, ick, ick! What could be easier than alfredo sauce? It's just a little butter, cream, garlic and lots of parmesan. They had little rolls that came with the salad that looked a little like those biscuits at Red Lobster, but were floury and dry. Now I remember why we don't like to eat out. Harry had fried oysters, baked sweet potato and hush puppies. He said on the way home it wasn't very good, but if it's dinner time I swear that man would eat plastic! Guess we won't be eating there again any time soon!...See MoreWhat's for dinner?
Comments (15)We went out to eat! Daddy had a French dip, Lola had well cooked salmon with sweet potato fries and slaw, Ben had chicken tenders with a cookie (ain't it fun to be young!), April had a club sandwich, I don't know what Mark got?, Susie and Tiff had fish tacos (I had them last Tuesday so I didn't want them again) barramundi, one had slaw on the other had red beans and rice, and I had chicken tenders. If it helps, yesterday I had, umm, actually I don't know what you call it, it was peach moonshine and passion fruit puree, with tajin on the rim.

Comments (104)Oh mercy, I'm behind again. I had a couple of "set backs", but I think I"m good to go now. My family will have their Christmas dinner on Saturday, so I'm in the middle of planning and cooking. John, kittens are so cute when they're sleeping. :-) I've never seen a crab heart either, that's....interesting. Here we've been eating and I'm cooking. This was baked salmon with roasted potatoes and a pea and peanut salad. I made a surprisingly good tomato basil soup with white beans: And enchilada casserole with salad on the side: And some of Diane/craftyrn's cuccidati. I know, not really heart healthy, but Elery loves it: Saturday's meal is scheduled to be glazed ham, stuffed and rolled turkey breast, green beans, au gratin potatoes, homemade rolls, a potato dressing that I"ve never tried before, some sausage and cheese stuffed "shotgun shells" which is a manicotto stuffed and wrapped with bacon, then smoked, a Godiva chocolate cheesecake, lemon meringue bars, snickerdoodle apple cobbler and the usual plate of cookies and fudge, with some Chex Mix and firecrackers on the side. I'll try to remember to take pictures... Annie...See MoreWhat's for Dinner #427 2026
Comments (51)NiCO, I hope your new phone is doing as it is supposed to. Somehow mine never does, or maybe it does and I just don't know it, LOL. Jack, it finally cooled off here and we got a little rain. I've been canning and gardening and canning. The cattle are enjoying the respite from the heat and the little bit of green that's coming back from 6 weeks of no appreciable rain. I even cooked because my nephew was here working on fence. I made a pot roast, fried green tomatoes, some garlic bread and an apple pie. The crust was from SharonCB's recipe, the Nathan's Never Fail Pastry. I make a batch in the food processor, divide it into 6 portions, wrap in plastic wrap and then freeze it. The frozen portions are then put into a zip lock bag and I have pie crust when I need it. The last time I picked up a grocery store pie crust it was nearly $5 for 2 crusts and I just refuse to pay that, so I make my own and freeze it. I like the recipe very much, and use butter as the fat. I always smile and think of Sharon when I pull that chunk of dough out of the freezer. I didn't think to take pictures, though.
