patti skipped out for dinner: what's for dinner
Comments (18)I'm back from dinner. It was great visiting with our snowbird friends and we talked for over two hours. We were neighbors when we both lived in the boonies and they moved back to Ohio shortly after we moved. We went on a cruise together with others from the neighborhood and had so much fun with them once. So now we e-mail and get together once a year :-( Dinner--not so good. I ordered the fettucini alfredo with bacon-wrapped sea scallops. The salad that came with it was very good,the scallops cooked just right but the alfredo was disappointing, to say the least. It was a big plate of angel hair pasta with a huge glob of alfredo sauce out of a jar. Ick, ick, ick! What could be easier than alfredo sauce? It's just a little butter, cream, garlic and lots of parmesan. They had little rolls that came with the salad that looked a little like those biscuits at Red Lobster, but were floury and dry. Now I remember why we don't like to eat out. Harry had fried oysters, baked sweet potato and hush puppies. He said on the way home it wasn't very good, but if it's dinner time I swear that man would eat plastic! Guess we won't be eating there again any time soon!...See MoreWhat;s for dinner Monday?
Comments (9)Glenda, that's a lot of food, but with all 12 bringing a dish it doesn't take long to fill up a buffet. I'm surprised there were no desserts! Raven, everything sounds delicious. We ended up having sliced avocados last night because the mangoes weren't quite ready. Way to go, Jasdip. You're making space in the frig for more of your good cooking! Shirley, I looked for green beans in the grocery today and they were awful looking. I wanted green beans and red potatoes so bad!! Yep, I think we all love our leftovers and most of the time I think they taste better on day 2 (or 3)....See MoreI think these roses were deals at $3.68 each.
Comments (14)I'll try for better pics today, but here's a couple before I repotted her. She's really similar in colour to Barcelona and my Dark Desire when she has black smudging. It's a very deep red that supposedly doesn't orange-out. I think I read her colour is similar to Kardinal Kolorscape, but different form. I'm impressed with FOKolorscape so figured since I have a place to put her I'd go for it. I'm hoping my Darcey opens so I can see if Milano would look good planted next to two I have surrounding a birdbath. I'm basically filling out my mature landscape with Lowe's rejects also, although I've thrown a few Medard's markdowns in the mix when they carried great stuff a couple of years ago. Huge Spirea and Hydrangea, Dwarf Osier and all sorts of other goodies and tender things I overwinter inside. I don't mind so much if they don't make it. I rejected the Knock-Out out of hand, but seeing Jim's pics and that double pink pic last year made me rethink my position. If it's healthy, I'm OK with it for an out of the way place I want colour, but minimal upkeep. The foliage of CB is very different from FO, but I like the contrast. It's pure deep red, no hint of orange as in these pics. Click to enlarge....See MoreWhat’s in your pantry? (And can it become dinner.)
Comments (16)Here is my orange vegan cake, from Allrecipes originally. I discovered it when we were having vegan friends for dinner but now I use it all the time. Ingredients 1 large orange, peeled (or sub 1 cup orange juice) 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup white sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil (I have used corn oil or also melted butter but then it's not vegan) 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt Directions Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan. Blend orange in the blender until liquified, measuring 1 cup orange juice (or just use 1 cup orange juice) Whisk orange juice, flour, sugar, vegetable oil, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes. (I usually add a little dash of nutmeg and cinnamon to the batter, and then sprinkle a bit of cinnamon-sugar on the top before baking.)...See MoreFeathers11
