Floof! Finding comfort...
Comments (40)Definitely food. Mashed potatoes and baked goods, not at the same time. :) It is terribly hot and humid this summer, even late in the evening and early in the a.m., which hasn't been conducive to working off the extra calories. Cannot wait til autumn and cooler exercise-friendly temps. I love the 2 Fat Ladies cooking shows. So much fun. Ina Garten puts me to sleep, and I just can't with Nigella and her "sexy shtick". There used to be reruns of The Galloping Gourmet with Graham Kerr on PBS years ago, it's a very old show with a British host who really enjoys his wine and gets more and more animated as the show progresses. They may have the shows on Youtube, not sure....See MoreFloof! How was your Thanksgiving?
Comments (52)Well, our belated TG yesterday was....interesting! There were 9 of us plus the 14 month old twins, who kept heading for the kitchen and the dog looking for dropped food! Everyone had something to bring, but what they did was bring the ingredients! There were up to 6 people in my kitchen prepping at the same time! It's NOT a large kitchen! THIS is why I never learned how to make gravy! At that point in the prep time, I'm so stressed out and trying to keep people out of the kitchen I run away to decompress! Thankfully, the weather was beautiful and we took the twins outside to eat rocks and meet the neighbor baby, a few months younger. We had a 15 lb turkey plus a 3 lb breast, both came out perfectly cooked and juicy. I hit up the dollar store for leftover containers, but hardly anyone took any (except my weird sister who walks into anyone's house and sees what they have for leftovers!), So we have plenty to freeze for later meals! There was also a gravy-off! I mentioned my thing about not making gravy, so DIL made 10 cups (at home), there was a package that came with the breast, which we froze and I "helped my SIL with one from the drippings and broth using WW flour for my daughter with gestational diabetes. I would love to post pics, but I don't have this site on my phone or tablet. Oh yeah! Hubby made tiramisu (low sugar) that was delish! Also DD took a whole pumpkin pie home, left us each a piece, which we wanted, but took the whipped cream home with her. so I had to walk across the street to the store today in order to have my pie!...See MoreFestive Floof! Valentines plans.....
Comments (48)Well my dinner plans didn't pan out. SO requested that I make this mishmash dish with no name. It is essentially yellow rice, shredded cheese and "mexican" chicken with peppers and onions. So, since I couldn't really make that heart shaped, I improvised. Tiny heart shaped casserole to the rescue! This tiny little dish was big enough for his portion,and I was satisfied that it was heart shaped. Don't worry. I wasn't stingy with the cheese, there is more underneath the chicken....See MoreFloof! Whats cookin??
Comments (39)bbtx, I do not. I have certainly seen them and was very very tempted to get one, but that is not a dish I would make, and I like all my hearts to be used. Maybe I can buy one and use it to put mail in or something!!!!! I did not do any real cooking today. SO ate leftovers from yesterdays feast, and I got a salad from Zaxbys on my way to work. But, because tomorrow is Memorial Day and SO got it into his head that he wants to grill, I did do some prep work for that. Whenever he grills, he has this notion that he has to cook enough food for an army. I do not know why. I guess he feels like if he is going to light charcoal, he does not want to waste the heat. So I bought hot dogs, polish sausages, bratwurst, ground beef and a rack of baby back ribs. Today, I seasoned the ribs with a premixed dry rub, and formed and seasoned the hamburger patties. We will be working on those for the rest of the week probably, if he actually grills them that is. Last time he asked me to do all of that, he decided he did not feel like grilling or had a last minute thing he had to do that took all day or whatever and I ended up cooking the ribs in the oven, the burgers on the stove and freezing the hot dogs and stuff. I will end up making some sides. Probably loaded baked potatoes and corn on the cob or something....See Moreamylou321
