What was for dinner?
Comments (14)Kayjones, fried hot dogs--another one of those good things I'd forgotten about. I used to split them in half lengthwise and put cheese on them. So good! Shirley, come down and we'll go have shrimp--betcah' you'll eat the whole pound. I ate all but 4. Ususally when we go out, if I order shrimp I may eat 5, but these are so fresh and so good you just can't stop eating them. I think they steam them, but I don't know for sure. They have the shells on and seasonings which are red and spicy, but not too spicy (sure make your hands messy, which is why they have rolls of paper towels on the tables instead of napkins). How is your sister feeling? Glenda, we both love chopped BBQ pork. I don't like sauce either. That sounds terrific. I've never had salted caramel, either. But it seems to be really popular now. Here's the French potato salad. The kids have had it for lunch every day :-) Instead of cooking the bacon I used a packet of those real bacon bits (mine were Primrose brand). French Potato Salad 2 lb. small red new potatoes 5 strips bacon, cooked crisp and chopped 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill or 2 tsp. dried 4 green onions, chopped 1/2 c. finely chopped red onion (I omitted) Salt to taste Dressing: 1/3 c. red wine vinegar (I prefer rice vinegar--not as strong) 3/4 c olive oil 2 tsp. Dijon mustard 1 garlic clove, minced Freshly ground black pepper Boil potatoes until just tender. Drain and cut into small chunks. Place in salad bowl with remaining salad ingredients. Combine dressing ingredients, mix well and toss with warm potatoes. Salad should marinate in dressing for several hours in refrigerate. YogaLady, you're sooooo smart!! Hounds, your healthy dinner puts me to shame. It sounds really refreshing, too....See MoreWhat's for dinner tonite?
Comments (7)I have been busy all day in the kitchen it seems. I fixed supper for the 7 of us. Baked pasta, corn on the cob, green beans, coleslaw, Jello and strawberry cake. Alyssa loves green beans and corn on the cob. She didn't know what to think of the Jello at first. Sue...See MoreWhat did you have for dinner SATURDAY
Comments (19)We had a teeny cute-as-a-button gas barbecue. I can cook anything on the stove but can't bbq worth a crap. Hubby tends to over-cook things on it as well. We didn't get the use out of it that we could, (going up and down 3 flights of stairs etc). I sold it on Kijiji last week. We've been looking for an indoor grill and reversible griddle, but the styles have now changed. They're all the George Foreman style, which I don't want. On a whim, I posted a request on Freecycle and lo and behold, someone had one!! They downsized and gave me theirs. In mint, new condition. So we used it last nite for the first time and we love it! We have an outlet out on the balcony, and sat out there with the grill. Grilled chicken breasts, and I pre-cooked sliced potatoes in the microwave and finished them on the grill. Nice seasonings and grill marks. We finished the carrot and pineapple slaw. It was delicious and we're happy,happy.

Comments (22)Fun family Annie! I need to try ann_t's meat tort. I say that every year but it is on my list. We had some failures. Christmas day was dysfunctional family day. No one told me family was waiting...when we walked in and trying to settle after a long drive...yikes. I was hounded trying to un-pack...did not know so many people were there. And a sit down dinner was waiting. I had prepped so many sides but this and that niece and nephew had to eat by 5 and sister wanted all to be perfect...they started digging into my cheese and treat platters before i could pee. Horrible meal. I gave up and had a glass of wine. I had 6 cheeses and olives and ghost pepper salami and salmon charcuterie all prepped to platter but they dove into the containers before i could plate them...savages. My homemade flatbread was still in the truck yet to be unloaded. : ) (thought it was to be a quiet evening with my parents)...prep and eat around 7. My mother, now 86, tried to make a traditional turkey meal but it was so unnecessary. She cooks blonde. (not hair). Just safe and under done. The turkey was started 5am like the ye-olden days, Dressing bland and not baked fully, gravy white and floury. Sweet potatoes boiled in water to death. She stressed knowing i was on my way not knowing family showed up and waiting...(my sister that does not cook and expected miracles). The turkey sat 3 hours covered. How do they not know safe temp as i have taught them for years!? . I had all the fixings prepped to go into the oven but they were done well after all the family left. (did not know the extra family were even to be there). Family that does not cook and thinks those of us that do should provide for all. Grrr. "Almost forgot- Christmas apps were amazing! Crab cakes, mini lobster quesadillas, shaved filet mignon crostini and mini sliders." Yum! We had better successes the following days. : ) The best oyster stew ever. Finally perfected that one. Then oyster fritters for breakfast this morning......See More- 4 years ago
