What's for dinner tonight?
Comments (9)Cheryl, Amber, Alyssa and I met up with Norm and Kevin at the Golden Corral this afternoon and also met up with Norm's brother and his wife. We had a great lunch so no one is hungry for anything this evening. We also did our grocery shopping and I am a bit tired. Sue...See MoreWhat's for dinner tonight?
Comments (13)T'was dining alone, when the most handsome man, my age, asked if he could join me. Of COURSE! Great conversation, great food! WE then decided since it was a lovely day, that we drive in our cars and meet eachother at the nice park nearby and people watch and "get to know eachother". Felt like I was on cloud nine and giddy as a teenager on a first date. And to top it all off, he stopped to buy me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and presented to me at the park. Such a lovely way to spent April Fool's Day :o)...See MoreWhat's For Dinner Tonight?
Comments (19)I hope you ladies don't think I am crazy but last night Jan set out a pack of pork chops to thaw. As it neared supper time Jan was busy doing something so I decided I would cook supper tonight. I thought about frying them, but that was too much grease, then I thought about grilling them but the grille is out of gas so I opted to bake the chops. I began by making my own shake & bake type rub. 1/4cup white flour 1/4cup Italian flavored bread crumbs 1 TBS course ground black pepper 1 Tsp Curry Powder 1/2Tsp Garlic powder 1/2 Tsp chilli powder 1Tsp granulated sugar Put all that in a bag, mixed thoroughly, then I brushed the chops with Canola Oil and put in the bag one at a time to coat with the rub and place on a baking sheet. Mixed up a pan of Jiffy cornbread mix and put that in a bag and preheated the oven to 400 for the cornbread. Tossed both the corn bread and chops in the preheated oven for the prescribed 18 minutes for the cornbread, and I figured I would keep an eye on the chops till they browned nicely. Success, they took 22 minutes to cook. While they were baking I took a can of baby limas and a can of whole kernal corn, drained them and mixed in a pan, covered with milk, added a few pats of butter and put them on to low simmer, avoiding a scald on the milk. At about 10 minutes they were nicely heated so I mixed 1/2tsp of cornstarch in cold water and added that to thicken the broth to make succotasch. Baked a couple small potatoes in the nuke and made us each a small side salad of iceburg lettuce, leaf lettuce, cucumber slices, green pepper, onion and tomato wedges. (vinegar & oil on mine). For dessert I mixed two cups of bisquick with a bit of sugar added and just layed it out in one big piece on a cookie sheet and baked it about 2" thick. Chopped up a quart of fresh strawberries, added some sugar and laddled that over 3x3" squares of the bisquick cake for strawberry shortcake. Finished off with plenty of black coffee and now I am stuffed...LOL Jan was so pleased with that stupid rub for the chops that she made me write the recipee in her book..LOL Actually, I love playing in the kitchen and someday I might even get a cookbook to see how your supposed to do it....See MoreWhat's for dinner tonight?
Comments (49)OMG, Jinx, that’s exactly what I told DH I wanted for our birthday dinner this Saturday night! Seriously 😂! Our birthdays are just 4 days apart (4th & 8th) and so, with no indoor dining here still and him pushing no meats, I told him last night that I wanted all of those- lobster tail, crab legs and (my favorite) Creamy Orange Jalapeño Scallops- for our celebratory dinner. DH laughed, but I’m getting at least two! Come on over and you can eat and celebrate with us!...See More- 4 years ago
