What are You having for your evening meal?
Comments (21)I made lasagna. I make it with ricotta, mozarella and sweet Italian turkey sausage (much less greasy). My 6 y/o DS *loves* lasagna. It's always good when I can make at least one of the family very, very happy. ;o) He eats it like it's chocolate cake! Just as I took it out of the oven, he came bouncing down the stairs licking his lips saying "I know what's for dinner! I smell lasagna!" Lasagna night is the night he will out-eat even his 15 y/o brother. Can't get enough. Tomorrow night he will ask me for leftovers. Too cute!...See MoreWhat Are You Having For Your Evening Meal?
Comments (35)Lkgrace, Cedar Key is my husband's home town. He is getting ready to go back to visit, a couple of days after Christmas. His half sister and her husband were caretakers on Seahorse Key, owned by the University of Florida. There is a lighthouse there and 10 room house. A favorite memory of mine is visiting them there back in the late '60's and eating fried oysters that his sister cooked for us. (That and the masses of squirrels that came to meet our boat, and the treats that his sister brought for them.)...See MoreWhat Are You Having For Your Main Meal Today?
Comments (78)I like to cook up onions in the skillet where the meat browned up. I will brown up the meat first to make sure that the meat makes good contact with the hot skillet. If I try to cook the onions along with the meat, the cuts of onion will get in the way of the meat having the most contact with the hot skillet. With grass fed beef you get a very nice flavor going on in the residual oil left from cooking the meat. Cooking off the onions in that same skillet lets you pick up some of that intense flavor. I usually cook the onions until just a bit browned and not caramelized. If not, raw sliced onions make a nice addition. Both ways are good. You can also take your bread and lay it in the skillet after all has been cooked and you can pick up even more of that flavor. I remember back when burgers were made on a grill, like in an old fashioned diner, the buns would go onto the grill where the meat was cooked. That was way back when beef could be more counted on to deliver a better flavor and quality. Grocery store beef has fallen in quality over these years. This grass fed beef makes me realize how different it is. I remember when even one of those burgers that got brought out to your car by a carhop and hung on the side of the drivers side window tasted like real beef. Remember how those burgers would be wrapped in that paper and stabbed close with a pickle and a toothpick? I remember one place in east Dallas that used to make the best burgers and you could get a cold mug of beer delivered to your car window along with your burger. Otherwise it was mug root beer. Things change without our noticing. My remembrance of burgers past goes back 50 years ago. Change is often subtle and, as that expression goes, "we don't know what we had until it is gone".. Now burgers out at diners and at fast food places are all made in a processing plant where they are manipulated with what ever and pressed into uniform rounds and frozen. They get run through some automated "grill" like a factory. Ugh! There is just no appeal in an ordinary diner burger anymore or any of the fast food places. Even the smaller eateries mostly don't make their own real beef patties anymore. The get stuff delivered from Sysco....See Morewhen do you have your TG day big meal?
Comments (11)We don't have any "set" time, it depends on the schedules of all involved. Elery and I are retired and so the time is inconsequential to us, but one son in law is a detective, one daughter works midnights at a nursing home, one Granddaughter is working at one of the local restaurants. So, whenever we can sit down together is when the meal is. It's not even always on Thanksgiving Day, it could easily be the weekend sometime. It's the same at Christmas, our family celebration is often between Christmas and New Year's, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. I've never been set on "the day", I can celebrate with my family whenever I can and be happy for it. Annie...See More
