I am starving! What's for dinner?
I just took 3 nice big sweet potatoes out of the oven and waiting on the quiche to finish. Broccoli, shrooms, onions, feta and cheddar. I wanted to throw in some chopped grape tomatoes and artichokes, but Bill wanted it just the way it is.
So far all day I've had a banana, a clementine, a mini York peppermint patty and for breakfast the little bit of leftover baked apple with baby biscuit on top.
Ten or so more minutes until dinner. I think I'll make it.
What are you having tonight folk.
Yeah, one better give it the way Wild Bill wants it; otherwise, there'll be trouble.
Remember that Mrs. Alfred Packer's main kitchen cutlery are some big knives Wild Bill purchased at the county coroner's auction of surplus or outdated equipment.

1. chicken thighs with a jarred curry sauce made with coconut milk
Too lazy to make a sauce from scratch. Jasmine rice, and zucchini some way. Am feeling exasperated today for a lot of different reasons.

12. Ground beef browned with garlic and onion rolled up in corn tortillas topped with a sauce I made from Pace Picante and a mix of shredded cheese. Good, but not cheesy enough. And I need to find a way to keep my tortillas from breaking up. I think there were too many in the pan and there was not enough sauce to keep them moist.

4. we've noticed that we can't stop eating lately- and we thought we were over the Christmas/holiday "binge." I think it's all the cold and early darkness, actually.
I think left-overs- we still have some left-over soup, veggie stir-fry with artichokes, garbanzos and spinach linguine, and a nice egg and ham sandwich on ciabatta from yesterday's lunch out. We also had spinach pies for lunch today from a great Middle Eastern shop near the Uni.

10. It's really difficult not to eat a lot this time of year. The cold and dark is probably right.

6. Leftovers!!!
we love leftovers! Steak leftover means yummy salad! Rice means pudding! at least today.
oh - but the quiche sounds wonderful!
Steak and romaine salad and some homemade focaccia with just parm and italian seasonings.
Rice pudding with raisins...

11. Yum!
I like to take leftover steak and cut it into small strips, throw it in the skillet with butter, garlic, onions, and shrooms. Bill loves it!
And rice pudding? Yaaaa!
Better give Wild Bill what he likes; the refrigerator's getting low on butchered meat.
And by the way, rice pudding sucks.

20. Yeah, I did the burgers last night for an easy dinner with the promise of better for the weekend.
franksolich had a hamburger, well done, pressed down hard on the grill so as to squeeze out all the fat, and french fries baked in butter in the oven last night.

Do DUmmies really eat that trash....or do they just get smoked up and imagine the CHEETO's are that junk.

I've always suspected that when the primitives boast about what they're cooking, there's some, uh, exaggeration.

The wife fixed cheeseburgers and fries last night....which was fine with me because we had a steak, baked potato and a salad for lunch with hot butterd rolls.
Unlike my childhood when I ate 3 BIG meals a day, one big meal a day now is more than enough. A sandwich or a bowl of soup last night would have suited me just fine.

Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Macaroni, yes I love it.

True, though I have a perhaps-kinder outlook on it, and regard it as wishful thinking more than purposeful self-aggrandizement...much like the cartoon staple of a man stranded on a desert island, with little apparent sustenance but one lone coconut tree, yet dreaming of a gluttonously expansive meal.

Doesn't really matter what the DUmmies eat....we're probably paying for it.

WTF is a baby biscuit? DUmmies are such snobs.

I love Hamburger Helper cheeseburger macaroni! That's something I make when my husband is out of town because he won't eat it.

OMG! mine won't eat it either. I figured I'd make it because he's going over to a friends today to watch football this afternoon and night, so I don't have to cook for him.

My husband is still doing the cooking because of my bike accident so I'm kind of at his mercy but he does like to grill so I'm sure dinner today will be something like that. Now I'm craving Hamburger Helper cheeseburger macaroni!

The cooking and baking primitives especially so.
They use exotic foreign terms for some of the simplest things, too.

My wife did a simple penne pasta last night, along with a four cheese sauce that I absoultely loved. That pasta will be in my leeftovers for lunches for as long into the week as I can stretch it--maybe a day or two . . .

The other thing is, if one attaches a term hinting at the exotic or the faddish, the cooking and baking primitives drool and ooze all over it, as if it's something special.
African goat stew.
Greek yogurt.
Albanian pizza.
Thai chop-suey.
German white wine.
Nicaraguan hamburger.
haggis Italiano.
And so on.

Aren't baby biscuits another word for little biscuits you give to a baby?
-
haggis Italiano.
Is that for real? It's difficult to imagine a dish and a cuisine with less in common, but if anyone could think they could screw around with enough Italian spices and prep to make a dish based on oatmeal and guts into a God-awful holistic cooking feature presentation, it would be the DUmmie cooks.
-
We also had spinach pies for lunch today
Well, there's a family that has no need for syrup of ipecac.
And I gotta say, the word "shrooms" is nearly as sickening as v****e, on a par with "taters". It's the main reason I don't like Outback restaurants - their menu mentions "shrooms" over and over.

To be fair, Greek Yogurt does tend to be different from most American yogurts. It is generally much thicker. I personally prefer the texture of Greek Yogurt, but that is just me.

Me neither! After we were first married, and me workin' for all of $3.25/hr durin' Nixon's wage freeze, hamburger helper was about all we could afford! I ate the shit til it was comin' out my ears! The grand kids luv the stuff though, so "Toots" serves it to them! I take the opportunity to pull a ribeye outa the freezer and fire up the grill!
Last night, since I'm batchin' it while "Toots" is down at my daughter's I had Nachos, smothered in Tillamook cheddar and a whole can of sliced olives! Still got enough left over for lunch!

Of course.
And no disparagement of the Hellenics and their yogurt intended; the real stuff is pretty good.
But it's kind of funny how one can attach the name "Greek" to an ordinary yogurt made in a factory in Montana or something, and the cooking and baking primitives think it's the real thing.
It's sort of like the way the primitives go to "farmers' markets" in New England, and come back to Skins's island boasting about all the locally-grown stuff they got, as if corn and watermelons and strawberries are grown in Massachusetts or Vermont in January.
The stuff comes from corporate farms down in Florida.
The primitives are denser than a black hole, but I'm really surprised they never figured this out.

Outback is awful....a good cut of meat needs nothing on it to enhance the flavor.
btw.....slow smoked pork ribs, home made cole-slaw, and baked beans....it was awesome.
-
Oh I love Outback, mostly for the Bloomin Onion and the sauce, all the other food is OK.

WTF is spinach pie? The only way I eat spinach is in a bowl smothered in vinegar! However my Nana used to make an outstandin' casserole with the stuff!

Wonder why Rand just didn't say "teething cookies" then! Zwieback must be a name brand?

Because his using a fancy name such as "Zwieback" fits in with the pretentiousness of the left. :-)
