Frozen lasagna & water.

Making a pork/noodle casserole from left over pork roast. Not sure what to have with it. Something simple, as I'm not feeling well today.

I have a brisket in the oven that will be finished on the grill and 5 pounds of chicken thighs in pollo a la brasa marinade to grill (I'll make the green sauce and crema de aji about an hour or so before we eat.) I'm eyeing some zucchini to toss on the grill and there are some tomatoes ready to eat so I'll slice those up as well.

Trying a new recipe in slow cooker. Don't use the slow cooker very often except to keep things warm so this is all new to me.....Honey garlic chicken thighs. Will make some rice with bell pepper and onions plus a tossed salad.

Today is National Sandwich Day, and Subway was having a special where you buy any size sub and a drink, and get a free sub. They donate the cost of the free sub to the Canadian Food Bank. So for the first time in years, we each got a foot-long for dinner.

Very simple tonight...........made a salad. Sue, your supper sounds like one I'd be perfectly content with.

Georgysmom, please let us know how you liked the chicken thighs. I love using the slow cooker and I'd like to know how yours turned out.

I didn't know it was sandwich day. Although the shop in town that made the best roast turkey, bacon, tomato subs with a vinegar oil dressing has closed - and I miss having one occasionally.

I cooked a pot roast (chuck) with roast potatoes, carrots, onions yesterday. Made gravy from the pan drippings. There is plenty for leftovers tonight, I'll come up with another vegetable for a side.

OT, I could smell roast beef, onions and garlic in my kitchen when I got up this morning. That still surprises me after all the years of having a whole house air cleaner when this one does not. It has lots more conveniences, but no air cleaner and no duct work for easily adding one (radiant heat in the ceilings).

Morz, that's one thing I don't like about roasting chicken. I find the smell lingers long after I want it too. I can still smell it the next day.

Oktoberfest Sausage on an Villaggio Toscana Bun with lots of mustard and sauerkraut. I have been wanting this for a long time and well worth the wait.

Today was my Garden Club Thanksgiving luncheon and the food was great and plentiful . I brought a plate home for my husband and I am having an egg roll .

I made a pepperoni & sausage pizza. I was waiting for DH to remove the shower trim so I can start tile demo. :0) I had an extra hour of free time on my hands....lol

I made my yummy chicken pot pie. I was right in the middle of mixing the crust (decided to go with rough puff, rather than biscuit), when my DD called and asked for a ride home. I left the mixture on the marble counter, and rolled it out when I returned. It seemed no worse for it's 'rest'.

I made two, so we'll have leftovers tomorrow.

Jasdip....recipe was very simple.....1/2 C. ketchup, 1/2 C. soy sauce, 1/3 C . honey, 3 cloves garlic minced, 1 tsp. dried basil whisked together and poured over thighs. Cook on low 6 hrs. I cooked on high 2 1/2 hours. It was okay. Don't think I'd make again. I browned the thighs first. Recipe received 5 stars from reviewers. For me, maybe 2 or 3. I've tried many 5 star recipes and rarely do I agree with the rating. However, it was very easy to throw together.

Thanks GM. Since you were less than thrilled with it, I won't bother trying it. You're a terrific cook, and I trust your instincts.

I think reading the comments is the best part of online recipes. One recipe recently had just a few ingredients, minced garlic, worcestershire, some regular spices and a couple of other things and one reader complained there were too many ingredients. I commented that who doesn't have garlic, worcestershire and the basic spices on hand.

I still laugh when I remember one commenter for a slow-cooker recipe. She said that she was horrified when all the liquid was pooling on the lid and dripping down onto the meat. She set the lid ajar to finish cooking and it was much better! LOLOL

My neighbor gave me a quart jar of Stuffed Green Pepper Soup - best soup EVER.

On a side note, she said she had brought it up to the house one day while I was out and again another, finally she decided to put it back in the freezer until she could catch me. Freezer? Glass quart jar? It was frozen solid when she handed it to me. I never heard of freezing soup or anything in a glass jar. When I told a friend about it, she said her sister-in-law does the same thing. Apparently as long as you don't fill the jar to the top (leaving 4" or so), it won't burst or crack. Has anyone else frozen glass jars?

I got home late last night, and decided to just warm up some leftover Saag Paneer (Indian Curried Spinich) and Basmati Rice. And then also made a hamburger with pinch of chorizo mixed in topped with fried jalapenos and cheddar.

It wasn't until I was putting everything on the plate that I realized that it was an odd juxtaposition to have Indian food (where they revere the cow) with a burger made of ground beef.

bob_cville, Iove cream cheese and ham on a bagel.

schoolhouse, a friend once gave me a glass quart jar of her frozen homemade spaghetti sauce.

schoolhouse, yes....Kerr and Ball canning jars are also freezer jars. I don't freeze in jars often but its a personal thing, I don't like handling frozen glass. I'd reduced berries to juice for later jelly making one year and used glass quart jars...very hard on the hands when moving things around in the freezer ;0) And a little warmth from your hands and they are slippery .

If things are frozen in a glass jar it is best to use the ones with the sloping sides, they are made for freezing or canning. They will slide out easily as they thaw.

Had navy bean soup and homemade biscuits.
