Crab cake appetizers (made from crab I bought while down at Red and Scoobie's place last weekend), BBQ (not grilled, Thor) ribs, homemade mac and cheese, and grilled veggies and salad.

Shall I include a picture later?

Please do - what a great meal!  :drool:

I didn't either, so I went out and had some fajitas.  Tomorrow BBQ ribs, corn and coleslaw.

So I ran out of milk for my hamburger helper last night.  I normally have a box of powdered milk around for things that don't require "fresh" milk and can be fudged but I happened to be out of that too.  I grabbed the last can of evaporated milk in the cupboard and opened it... smelled like death and looked as bad.  Turns out the can had expired in 2004.  I ended up using a handful of cheese.  It turned out pretty well.

Yes, my life is exciting.

Good heads up about the expiration date on the canned evaporated milk.  I need to check mine.  Too busy working to bother with cooking, so my dinner this past week has either been chips and salsa, or hot dogs.  (Hebrew National, thankyouverymuch)  I am keeping fingers crossed I might get out early enough to meet some friends for some margaritas and tex-mex.  Otherwise, it will be canned vegetables, frozen dinner, or ramen.

I highly recommend the powdered milk thing.  I won't drink it, but it's fine in most recipes.

We live in the woods, milk is a luxury. We use powdered milk with recipes all the time. It is just fine in most of them.

I'm going to try a Bearnaise sauce with my shrimp tonight.  Never done it, so we'll see.

ETA: That was extremely tasty.  You would have to drown them in sauce because most of it cooks off.  Aside from that, wow, it was tasty.

No pictures.  Sorry, I burned the top.

Last night--burgers topped with green chiles (from New Mexico sent to me by a friend) and cheddar cheese.

Tonight--tacos.

Tomorrow--BBQ chicken.  Fracking Market Basket is out of fresh corn on the cob.

Last night some really good tacos.

Lunch today?  Pho Tai and Shrimp Spring Rolls. 

Dinner tonight?  I dunno, but sometime this weekend I need to cook up the fresh corn on the cob I picked up from the produce man yesterday.   :whatever:

Last night I made a pork tenderloin and potato casserole.  There was a lot of pork left over, so I had that for dinner tonight along with some french fries and a green salad.  I'm a big fan of pork tenderloin because it's so tender.

I pulled a pound of ground chuck out of the freezer, but I have no clue what I'm going to do with it.

Giving it to the dogs is not an option.

Went to a fundraiser tonight for Admiral David Farragut's birthplace....had an incredible dinner. Running Buddy was chairing it. Some speeches and great flamenco dancing.

Vegetable fritters with a spicy remoulade.
Ceasar salad with a parmesean crisp
Crab cakes with fennel carrot slaw (not a fan of fennel and didn't eat it)
Grilled asparagus (it was wonderful!!! )
Chocolate bread pudding - which was ho-hum....however the fresh strawberry tart that M had was scrumptious!!

He had free range chicken with wild rice, steamed broccoli and some sort of sauce. Running Buddy had what I did and her husband had medalions of beef tenderloin with a sauce of kalamata olives, capers, red wine, mashed potatoes, and grilled asparagus (that he gave to me  :-) )

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

If you wander by here again, Rainbow, what's in your potato casserole?

Tonight-BBQ ribs and mashed potatoes. 

I found the recipe in a book called "The Best Casserole Cookbook Ever."  First I sliced Yukon Gold potatoes and put the slices in a buttered casserole dish, then covered the slices with milk.  I baked it for 30 minutes, then sliced up the pork tenderloin, breaded it, and placed the slices on top of the potatoes, along with some sliced onions.  Then back into the oven for another 30 minutes, covered.  I'm really happy with the way it came out. 

Tonight: chicken breasts baked with feta cheese and zucchini.

I ordered a 265-lb. hog from my slaughterhouse guy yesterday. I told him THICK BACON, DAMMIT! His hams are to die for. Neckbones I'll cook and give to the dogs - Homey don't eat that stuff. Loins will be half-chops (3/4" thick) and half whole. Pork shoulders for some hellacious pulled pork (Emeril's recipe is da bomb), lotsa pork steak, and some ground pork with whatever's left over. Baby backs will be separated from the rest of the rib.

But it ain't all on the menu tonight.   :rotf:
