Been eating soups. Last night was beef barley. There's just a tad left over which I might have after I finish making Spanakopita triangles. I just made the filling, but my knee was bothering me so am taking a little break before finishing up.

On another thread, I mentioned I would eat lo stuffed green peppers and mash potatoes for supper. I couldn't wait and ate at 3pm. Mmmmm.

georgysmom, I love spanakopita!

Would really love to see a picture of yours.

Glenda, why no rice? I don't use much in mine, but like a little.

Marilyn, I haven't made étouffée in a long time. Tails are a little too pricey right now. Maybe later in the spring.

Just never cared for rice.

Love fried crawfish tails.

Chicken and dumplings !

Kathy -- chicken and dumplings here too! With turnip greens, cornbread and apple crisp! Joint effort with DD next door -- she did the grocery shopping, greens and cornbread and i gave the c&d and crisp in the oven now.

They were frozen and on sale at HEB....and from Louisiana, not China. I wouldn't buy any for a long time because all I found were from China. Even when I went to Lafayette, Louisiana, I couldn't find any in the supermarkets that weren't from China.

Not nearly as good as from fresh crawfish. I used to raise waterlilies in mud bottomed ponds and before planting the lilies, would drain the pond and pick out all the crawfish, and made etouffe.

Had some spaghetti a little bit ago. It's 4 degrees outside right now with the wind chill. Getting ready to drive home in the ice and slush. ) :

It's 10° and windchill is -9°. I had left over roast beef so turned that into beef veggie with barley soup. I popped a can of crescent rolls in the oven to go with it.

Glenda, I love, love, love steamed white rice with salt and butter, but I rarely eat it because it's not very good for my figure. But, I don't like rice in soup or with gravy. It's some kind of weird texture thing with me.

We had cubed steaks with gravy and german Spaetzles. Roasted broccoli on the side. Its going to be 39 tonight in Orlando!

We had homemade vegetable soup and a salad. Perfect meal for a really cold day.

I made two pots of chicken-vegetable soup this evening--one for us, and a smaller pot for my diabetic father who is on a low salt diet. It was so good on this cold night (waving at tami_ohio). The air is so cold, I wouldn't stay outside to watch the eclipse--I set my alarm and ran out every half-hour to check the progress. The night is gorgeous, but cold!

I fixed fried chicken, white rice & curry gravy for "him"....a veggie salad for me. I did have a mug of hot Inka and hot peppermint tea later on.

Today, I'm going out for lunch. Been in for two days, haven't even opened the front door. Think I'll go to Jack's for fried chicken and a biscuit.
