Leftover shrimp and andouille paella. It had diced tomatoes, zucchini, shallots, and corn too. Dinner? Sweet roll or chicken fajitas. Some carb?

I baked chicken thighs in bbq sauce, white rice with a dab of butter (ok more than a dab) corn from the freezer that I cut off the cob and froze last summer, and rainbow sherbet.

Tomorrow will be hunky dish or goulash ...name depends on what part of the country your from or maybe even what country. LOL.

Subway sandwich, mine chicken salad, husband was roast beef

I made DH eie studels. In other words scrambled pancakes and fried eggs. I grew up in a family of 12 and my DM would not fry pancakes for so many, so this is how she always made them. Oklamoni did you ever have them. Another name for them is stirrum.

"Tomorrow will be hunky dish or goulash ...name depends on what part of the country your from"

I don't think so. That's a derogatory/disrespectful curse term for people of Hungarian origin and also used sometimes about those from certain Slavic areas. A word of similar nature to the offensive three letter W word that used to be used for Italians or the offensive three letter J word that used to be used for Japanese people. Goulash is a dish of Hungarian origin and so perhaps why some people impolitely used that term.

Call it Goulash or Hungarian Goulash to avoid offense.

Salad. Whoo-friggin-who...

:/

Blackened Talipia, rice with vegetables and steamed sauced Brussel sprouts.

I am not feeling well. DH is going to bring home a tri-tip sandwich and a baked potato from a local BBQ for me.

Chicken and dressing for supper. I didn't eat lunch.

There was a discussion not long ago in cooking about goulash vs hunky dish.

Elmer, I never in my life heard hunky was a bad word. I sure never ment it that way. I mean no disrespect to anyone by my use of the food called hunky dish. I don't appreciate my use of a dish I and many others grew up with being colored ugly.

I will be researching this.

Eta the discussion in cooking wasn't about goulash vs hunky dish. .but it came up.

" I never in my life heard hunky was a bad word. I sure never ment it that way. "

And so? Is this a "Thanks" for letting you know? No need to keep using it.

Mamapinky here is where you can start your research. Some people just look for things to be offended by. Here we have a self-described "hunky" being chastised for not having enough hunky cred because he wasn't Hungarian but Slovic. LOL

I am of Eastern Euro background but I am not a hunky apparently because my family were not of the region in the US where the term was coined. But whatever.

Complaining of a what appears to be a common regional name for a food reminds me of the times I have been flamed for calling my dog by her proper canine sex . You know because the word is offensive to women. LOL

"Here we have a self-described "hunky....." "

Exactly. Don't you see, that's the key - self-described.

The N word is horribly offensive and repulsive when used by non-African-Americans but it's a term African-Americans use about and with one another. Context makes a huge difference.

Whether it originated in Pennsylvania as mentioned in Wikipedia I can't say. I don't know. I have no ancestry from there or ancestry of this type but it's an ethnic slur (one of unfortunately many) I heard now and then, growing up in SoCal. It was an era when people were much more overtly and publicly disrespectful of one another. But yet, somehow, also accepting of differences.

2nd meal:

1 string cheese

5 pepperoni

10 peanuts

and a pickle.

Supper at a diner was hot beef sandwich with french fries and peas.

First time I heard that word about 25 yrs ago - someone called another person that at work. From the tone and conversation, I determined it wasn't a compliment.

I don't appreciate my use of a dish I and many others grew up with being colored ugly.

I don't know what that is supposed to mean.

I am Pennsylvania born. "Hunky" a common term heard often was not offensive even to the hunkies who were being talked about. They referred to themselves as "Hunkies" and usually with pride.

A cold snap is coming and I'll be making a roast chicken today.

Where I come from "hunky" is a compliment, referring to a handsome, muscular man.

Me too, skibby. I've never heard the other definition until now. I seriously doubt that MamaP would intentionally use a slur of any kind.

Tonight was going to be tamales, but there is still quite a bit of chicken salad left. We'll be having it again tonight (yum) as we are going out to dinner Thursday and Friday nights and we don't want it to get too old to eat.

Thanks Dawn. No I would never say ugly things about anyone. Ever. I also never knew that some people would look at a food dish called hunky dish in a ugly way. I feel bad.

That's fine but realize it's the word, not the dish. Call it goulash and you'll set a better example for the family you have in the house. Now knowing better, stop using it.

Imagine if someone called egg foo young C h - - - eggs. Or tomato sauce W - - sauce. The words express contempt, it has nothing to do with the food.

mama, for crying out loud! Don't listen to Elmer! There is nothing, nothing wrong with using the word hunky in terms of a recipe choice.

Hunky dish recipes!

Chicken fajita. One. It was good though. I need to get the weight off I gained when son was home.

Wonder what Elmer thinks about Glenda's Hunky Dory post.

It doesn't refer to Hungarian people or Hungarian things in any way so it's not derogatory. She intended the wording as a needless provocation anyway, quite sad, I ignored it.

Many years ago I was pursuing my degree at Va. Tech and found myself so interested in Entomology that I minored in it. The esteemed department head was Dr. Michael Kosztarab, a proud Hungarian American. Every semester, he had a big gathering in his home where he and his dear wife cooked hunky goulash. That's where I first heard the term used in the context of the country of birth.

I am absolutely positive that he would never use the word with a derogatory or hateful intent. He was a proud Hungarian who had to flee the political environment, smuggling his small family to the country he came to love.

As I said above, with any group or ethnic slur, when it's self-invoked, it's very different than when used derisively by an outsider. Like the N word. The history of this word as a derogatory one and its use as such is what it is.

It doesn't refer to Hungarian people or Hungarian things in any way so
it's not derogatory. She intended the wording as a troll effort anyway,
quite sad, I ignored it.

No. No you didn't. Ignoring means you did nothing. You posted here. That's doing something.

haha, so you're into silly provocation too? No, I was asked a question from a reasonable regular and so I answered it. I wouldn't have said anything otherwise and hadn't to that point.

Isn't a troll someone that picks on others? Nit picks about what others say?

I find it constantly amazing how one comment from a single poster can take a perfectly reasonable thread topic south. It seems that some actively seek out the negative in everything. What an unhappy and pathetic way to live!

Sorry, couldn't resist when I saw Glenda's post. Hopefully others will see the humor.

I get what Elmer is saying.....kraut is another word that can be used as a slur towards a person. There are many more such words........

Maybe it is not what he said but how others reacted.

I have no ancestry from there or ancestry of this type but it's an ethnic slur

Ah more virtue signaling. Telling those of us who may actually have certain backgrounds what we should find offensive. Like white people telling black,brown or yellow people how they should think. Or the morbidly obese person giving diet advice.

The best American Hunky food is at Emil's in Rankin, PA. Trust me!

Or, you can try many other hunky places along The Strip District in Pittsburgh.

hahahahahaha..

Marilyn, you just made me laugh out loud!

I have lived my entire life in PA, and we have always said that things are " hunky dory". I also find Tom Sellek to be very hunky.

LOL, Marilyn!

For someone who loves to laugh, marilyn... you made my day!!!!!

Who knew the Kitchen Table would provide such laughter. I gave up Hot Topics and thought my laughing was over,,, looks like a new beginning;))

To make light of words intended to be offensive concerning a person's ethnicity or origin shows no class at all. Have at it, it helps me understand (and devalue) the attitudes of the ill-informed and oblivious people who do so.

Why do I have the feeling that Elmer J Fudd will make me laugh. Perhaps Elmer should head over to Hot Topics lol, we could trade spots;)) You will be adored over there Elmer!!

Marilyn...I like you!

I also had leftovers for lunch. Can you guess what it was. Lol

Me too!

For lunch I had left over home made clam chowder with a couple pieces of crusty bread.

Lunch was leftover Vietnamese shrimp and pork stuffing with leek, nuked. '

Breakfast was two slices of bacon inserted into a 3 egg omelet (from my own chicken eggs), plus a little cheddar.

Dinner is probably going to be Irish colcannon. Yukon gold potatoes, savoy cabbage, buttermilk, sour cream, seasonings.

Oh, never heard of "hunky" as being referred to as something ethnic, pro or con. Don't know where that notion came from. So and so was called a "hunk" back at college, and that meant the guy was hot, desirable. I'm sure language changes. But there is a certain extent to which I'm not going to worry about it.

I had Chinese but I feel like I just ate popcorn. What a weird turn. I had never heard the term hunky to mean anything but cute/good looking/Tom Selleck. LOL
