OT/MISC What's For Dinner?
- Thread starter Seabird
- Start date
Youngest grandson's birthday is today so I'm going to pick up Chinese for supper; daughter is ordering, other than my order of General Tso chicken and fried rice, I don't know what we're having. I'll come home and have homemade tapioca pudding for dessert - if I have room. May add a few slices of banana to it, just for kicks.

My lovely neighbor gifted me with a huge oval crock pot that makes my other huge crockpot seem small.
I had two heads of Red Cabbage left and one more pack of Kielbasa. Blaukraut- yay! I added potatoes to make it stretch.
It is killing me. The scent coming out of that kitchen is like a German restaurant and it's not ready yet. Soon as it is, my neighbor will get her own bowl. We take care of each other out here.

Neither here nor there.

We ate at our favorite mom and pop Mexican restaurant, before coming home from a day out shopping. I'm tired. I finally got everything put away. I'm about ready to kick back, with my feet up, and enjoy a glass of red wine.

No clue - depends on how hot it is and what I actually feel like eating.

Hopefully I can eat dinner. I take the methotrexate Chemo on Saturday morning, hope it wears off soon so I can eat dinner. If I eat when I'm on the stuff I get sick.
If I can eat, the missus says well have a nice salad and veggie burgers. Went to doc this week, my A1C is messed up. Wife has me on a boot camp of healthy eating until it goes down. All healthy and NO cheating..

I usually don't cook much during this heat and humidity. It's been so hot today that we've turned our a/c on earlier than normal for us. Since the house is already cool, I'm gonna cook a bonefide meal tonight.
Cole slaw, fried battered yellow squash, boiled potatoes in butter sauce, batter fried pork chops, and cornbread. No dessert.
Doesn't look like our heat is going to break anytime soon. After tonight, it'll be back to eating sandwiches and salads.

Leftover dry-rub ribs (yay! no oven!), Instant Pot sweet potatoes, Greek salad (baby greens, spring onions, cherry tomatoes, feta crumbles, kalamata olives, pepperoncini, apple cider vinaigrette), mango chunks.
I'm hiding some Tate's Bake Shop gluten-free chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Don't rat me out, guys!

I was planning to make Cary his favorite Oreo cake, but decided not to turn the oven on more than I had to. He'll survive.

I give up.
I dunno. It's 90 out but we have AC (thank God). Went shopping yesterday, so there's a variety of things to choose from.
Hmmm, decisions. Maybe fresh chicken tenders fried in butter until golden, then put them on top of a big mixed green salad. Yeah, that sounds easy. And a side of something simple, don't know what. I forgot tomatoes, but did remember green onions - love those things. Diced green pepper, Goya salad olives. Cucumber. Good croutons.

I am also making a southern jambalaya tonight. My family really loves it and is always a hit. I use conecuh sausage and diced chicken with onions, peppers,celery and sauteed in butter. Add rotel tomatoes and chicken broth and rice.

It's really hot here too today. I haven't felt like doing much of anything. I did make a run to the farmer's market this morning and loaded up on home grown tomatoes from the Amish. Our garden is producing well but no large tomatoes yet and I was hungry for caprese salad.
Dinner is going to be leftover baked chicken and sweet potato cubes, caprese salad, and popovers. Thank goodness for air conditioning.

Nope. Never. No tomatoes in my jambalaya. Pure Cajun...not Creole style.
I should be there by 9p!!! Oh that sounds good to me!!

I give up.
Girl, you are in luck !! I'm gonna make this myself.

Mom used to make that when I was little. Or she’d make mashed potatoes instead.

Mine, too. She always had boiled potatoes in butter with ours.
Mine too. I just like hashbrowns. I boiled the potatoes earlier.

That was a post I made awhile back. What we're having tonight is post #90. Frying those chops now so, you better hurry up , and get here.
I envy those tomatoes. Haven't been able to grow Brandywines since our place in Upstate, N,Y. Or any of the big tomatoes

My plants are so over loaded that they toppled everything I had holding them up. Stakes and pulled cages out of the ground that were in about 10". I'd say at least 10-12 pounds on each plant. Just hope to keep them going with all our extreme heat and no rain. I water them every other day.

Thanks mzkitty!! This looks like the one I used to make. I've never tried this type of crust though, it should be quite tasty.Girl, you are in luck !! I'm gonna make this myself.
