Late Sunday Supper Is
Comments (1)After slinging pry bars, hammers (I smashed my left index finger, it's HUGE!) and carrying out wood, plaster, bricks (that only smashed my arm once and cut my left ring finger), we ate stacked enchiladas. He'd made a roast with loads of garlic. It had a good flavor, but it was tough. So I boiled the meat, shredded it, and added seasonings to it. Corn tortilla, meat and a bit of cheese, topped with a corn tortilla slatered with beans, a bit of cheese, then topped with a corn tortilla, meat and loads of cheese. I hate the time change... except that the sun will stay up "later" now!...See MoreItalian wedding soup.
Comments (15)My family is Italian on both sides and I have to say I've never in my life had this soup or had it served at a wedding!! We DO make chicken soup with little meatballs in it, but it's just regular ole chicken soup - with little meatballs in it! Never used the spinach. If we put a "green" in soup, it's escarole. Anyway - not knocking the soup - it sounds wonderful, but with my Italian background I just find it funny that no one in my family or any other Italians that I know of, actually make or eat Italian "wedding" soup lol!! The lemon zest in the meatballs sounds intriguing, however. That's not something I'd ever think of doing. I can't imagine what it tastes like? And that's a great idea to cook the meatballs separately - last time I made it I tried to cheat and instead of cooking the meatballs first, then adding them, I cooked them right in the soup. I have to say, the fat from the meatballs gave the soup a "meaty" taste that I didn't find pleasant. I'll have to remember to cook them first, then boil them a bit separately before I add them to the soup - great tip!! Lisa...See MoreLayout feedback, please. Photo heavy.
Comments (21)The fridge and freezer are Electrolux Icon...The snobbier version of the Frigidaire. ;-) For me the Frigidaires were too plasticky looking inside, like they might not be durable enough. I had a fridge that had pieces that broke inside all the time and wasn't interested in doing that again! I have 3 different counter surfaces... Flanking the rangetop: We wanted something heat resistant, and couldn't afford stone, so ended up with stainless. This thrilled my dh anyway, as his dad and brothers have worked decades on tug boats (as did dh in younger years), in which the galley counters are all stainless, so it seemed to fit the family legacy. It was a big plus that our local sheet metal fabricator did them for us at $17/sq ft! Also considered stone for the island perimeters, but again, couldn't justify that expense when I'd been happy all my life with laminate. We also considered doing our own concrete countertops, but since we were DIYing our whole house, we just couldn't fit that into the building schedule, which was already running months behind. But that's what led us to make the perimeter counters extra thick (2 1/4" instead of the standard 1 1/2")...To get the hefty look, and 'just in case' we ever decide to switch them out for concrete. (ha) Most of the inspiration kitchens I loved had butcherblock countertop in them somewhere, and I liked the warmth and hominess it seemed to add...so on the island seemed a good place after the stone I'd wanted for doing baking projects was ruled out. Throughout our house (door casings, baseboard, window trim, etc.) we used Douglas fir that had been milled from trees we cut in our yard before building...so we decided to use that on the island, too. It was essentially free at that point, and even though really inappropriate for a work surface because of being soft, we knew it would match and would be easy and fairly painless to change later if we needed to. Long story...But I think that explains the counter choices?...See MoreWhat's for Supper tonight
Comments (39)I have a little left-over ham, so we're having a mac and cheese dish with ham, a salad, and some sort of veggie. Last night was pork with gravy, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and carrots. Night before was home made split pea soup and cornbread. That's as far back as I can remember :-)...See More- 8 years ago
