What's for Dinner ~ Saturday May 19th
You know, Lu, who replaced the hate-filled bitter old Mrs. Alfred Packer, the hippywife primitive, as the deus ex machina of the cooking and baking forum, is a real trouper.
The cooking and baking forum's not anywhere near as lively as it used to be, but Lu plugs away, trying to stimulate the primitives into action.
Kudos to Lu!

1. Good morning!
I am wondering the same thing at the moment, I am thinking something with cabbage cooked or raw.
I am also thinking of something with okra or zucchini. What you think?
Just added broccoli and spinach soup to my meal whatever that may be.

2. Going to be bad and grill big juicy hamburgers...
it's the weekend after all.
Well, that sounds like a winner, but don't forget to press the hamburgers down hard on the grill, to get them cooked all the way through, and to get all the grease out.

8. We are low fat, low salt, low cholesterol during the week..
As much as possible. Then, we fall off the chuck wagon a little on the weekends. Not too much, but enough to feel naughty.

10. Hi, botanist here!
Some plants have memories, and can communicate between each other. One genera of parisitic plants can even "smell" the plants they want to paricitise and move in that direction. As scientists discover more and more about what plants can do and know....you may want to look at living on the dirt mentioned by another poster, or perhaps air.
P.S. Growing plants is not all that great for the environment, either.....take a look at the Ural Sea and Mono Lake.
One wonders where the Ural Sea's at.
And I thought I knew Soviet geography; apparently not.
<<never heard of "Mono Lake" though.

6. I am going to actually do something with fish.
I don't like fish (except raw) and I really don't like to cook it.
But I am going to make some salmon cakes just to see if I can.

12. grazing
I think I'm going to graze today--appetizers at appropriate intervals.
I started off with homemade tortilla chips and I also made pineapple salsa to go with.
My next round of appetizers might be Chinese dumplings.

Oh, and for the record, beer-can chicken. Turned out AWESOME. So moist, juicy, and tender. I cried as I imagined the tortured cackles of the bird as its head was lopped off. Okay, not really. But it was good.

"They're very small." What pretentious bullshit.
DUmmy is probably feeding her co-vivant* Chef Boy-Ar-Dee beef ravioli, a stale Hostess Sno-Ball, and a Wal-Mart cola.
*Thanks to DUmbass Iverglas for a new way to describe spouse/live-in/roommate in a totally non-committal way.

Well dummie... ain't you freaking special!!!!
I eat pasture raised beef every day. Steaks, roasts, burgers. The whole nine yards. I also eat hog stye raised pork, barnyard raised chicken, pond raised fish, and garden raised veggies. Sometimes I even eat deer and turkeys harvested by hunting. I also cook my food over a forest harvested wood fire sometimes.
Difference between you and me is that I have actually raised beef, pork and bird. I've also actually grew a garden. Now I get it from the guy that bought Grandpa Perky's farm. I help him out on the weekends in the summer when he needs it, he shares with me in August. The whole work for your food thing. Foreign concept to you I know.

3. What does the weekend have to do with eating dead flesh from tortured animals, which take up tons of resources just to produce one pound?
Really? Have you done the research? Have you weighed "input and output", done the caloric calculations, weight to energy conversions, etc.?
I say you are full of more shit than the "dead flesh from a tortured animal" is, which if you spent at least part of a day on a farm, you would see it would be a significant amount.
I like to see what F'ed up "report" this moron read.
Tell me how a cow, one of nature's creatures, takes up "tons of resources" grazing in a pasture? It's a factory, DUmbass!!!!
Grass and water go in one end, organic fertilizer comes out the other, and when the time is right, you harvest the meat in the middle and make their skins into clothes and shoes.
F'n DUmbasses. Either they are getting DUmber, or I am growing more and more intolerant of them as I get older. :hammer:

I am thinking the ural sea is the one in the former USSR that dried up when it's major tributaries were diverted to irrigate nearby farmland, but was mismanaged so badly the farmland, the tributaries, and the sea all dried up. I am thinking that mono lake is also receding, and it has no apparent tributary save for precipitation. But wasn't owebuma supposed to restore water levels ?

He was supposed to stop the seas from rising.
Or was that the oceans?
Or was he supposed to be able to walk on water?

Spaghetti Works. The eggplant was good, but the pasta that came with it was only so-so. It was a fun group of people, and we ended the night by running through the rain back to our cars.

Sounds kind of like Old Spaghetti Factory. Good place for average pasta and salad for way cheap--although I lovelovelove their browned buttered spaghetti in mizithra cheese.

Well aren't you just special, DUmmies? Here's a little newsflash for ya hon--the whole cow is still just as dead no matter how much of it you ate.

Actually, might as well just post it in the cooking forum.

Recipe. PM. NOW.
I'll just post it here.
This is the Duggars Recipe:
2 lb ground turkey cooked, seasoned, drained
3 2lb bags tater tots
2 cans cream of mushroom
2 cans evaporated milk
2 cans cream of chicken
Brown meat & place in large cass. dish.
Cover with tater tots. Mix soup & milk together.
Pour over top. Bake at 350 for 1 Hour.
(One of Daddy’s Favorites!) Makes 2- 9â€X13†pans
Minky gave me her recipe though a few years ago, so I kind of make it the way she does. Here's how I make it:
2 pounds ground beef
I add some spices
1 can of peas
2 cans mushroom soup mixed with milk
2 packages tater tots
cheddar cheese
I just fry the meat, add the spices then add the peas, layer a baking pan with the meat mixture, put the tater tots on top, put the mushroom soup mixture on top of the tater tots (it'll sink down into the meat too), then add cheddar cheese to the top of the tater tots, 350 degree oven like the Duggars recipe for an hour.
It's really awesome.

Oh! here's a recipe for it from DU:
2 lb Ground Chuck
1 Onion, Chopped
12 oz Sour Cream
10 3/4 oz Cream of Chicken Soup
10 3/4 oz Cream of Mushroom Soup
16 oz Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
1 lg Bag of Tater Tots

Sour cream? Sounds like kind of a lazy way to do it, but I guess it's better than Pam's Chicken Enchiladas.

Not if it's organic, free-range, sun-cured sour cream!
Are you paying attention, lurking DUmmies?

I've never done the sour cream, I can't imagine it adding to the recipe, also I only use the mushroom soup, not the cream of chicken.

They must really be desperate for DUmp cred to eat stringy pasture grass beef.
I want mine to finish out his life confined, standing in front of a trough full of corn.

Change of mind, I was out shopping for a few hours and don't feel like cooking, so I picked up cold cuts, nice rolls, roasted peppers, sicilian olives and macaroni salad!

That sound yummy!!! Do the tots have to be thawed first or can you put them in frozen?
Sounds kinda like something Grandma Perky made every now again. Take hash browns, the ones that are shaped like a piece of toast, put a pork chop in between the hash browns, (make sure it is vertical and not horizontal) put sharp cheddar on either side of the chop and over the top of the whole thing, and put cream of mushroom over the whole thing. Bake for a while and that stuff was great!

Nope, they don't have to be thawed, you just put them on frozen and they cook so nice with the cheese melting on top of them. And your Grandmas recipe sounds awesome!

What kind of spices do you put on it? I just showed your recipe to Ma Perky and she said it sounds yummy. She can't eat certain spices though. Had her gall bladder removed. Oregano wears her out along with garlic.

I just do salt and pepper, if I have things like thyme in the house I've used that too.

I have an idea for a new cookbook... The Expiration Date Buffet.
I think the closest thing I've made to this recipe would be Shepherd's Pie. Good stuff, but I can't imaging using tater tots in it. I guess once you've tossed in the Mushroom and Chicken soup, it doesn't matter at that point.

If we're discussing dinner, or what those of us in the rural areas call supper, I've got a little story for you. I was on an undercover mission as a fictional spirit-guide when I stumbled upon a dead baby polar bear. It hadn't been dead long. Since I was almost out of food supplies and was very hungry I decided to stew him. I didn't have any condiments, but thankfully he was nicely salted from all of the astrally projected tears of those at DU. Believe it or not, as the stew was almost complete a baby seal wondered into the camp. You could tell that he was hungry also so I took a tin of sardines out of my pack and spread them near me. I didn't take but a minute before felt comfortable enough to move right next to me and the sardines. Soon he was right there within arm reach of me. I could reach out a pet him. He seemed to be a sweet little baby seal. I think he may have actually viewed me as some sort of parental figure because when he finished the last sardine he eased right over next to my leg to relax. With him this close I just couldn't resist. I reached over and grabbed my BFEE approved club, I use the Krovian model, and decided that instead of just stewed baby polar bear I would have a buffet. A nice meal for an undercover op in the cold.

That sound y***y!!!
OK Frank... that seems like it would be yummy. Happy now? You been communicating with Ma Perky, the retired English teacher? God I hope not!!!! One English teacher correcting my emails/postings is enough!!!! :argh:

Your casserole goulash thing sounds tasty. I just wish ground beef weren't so damn expensive... it's almost as much as a gallon of milk. I remember when ground beef used to be about the same price as chicken, but that was before Barack Obama though it was necessary for our energy costs to skyrocket.

Beef and chicken prices are insane. I won't even tell you what I paid for chicken wings a few weeks ago, I was shocked.
-
It's gotten to the point where the only thing I buy are whole chickens or dark meat pieces (thighs are the first thing I look at). Douse them with enough spices and they're tolerable.
Here's my spicy chicken rub... I've posted it before. Substituting the cumin for yellow curry powder was pretty tasty.
1 Tbsp of paprika
1 Tbsp of cumin
1 tsp dried garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper.

My Husband likes the wings once in a while with the buffalo sauce so I didn't have to buy them for a long time, it's a huge price difference from the last time I had to buy them.

If you're buying pieces, sometimes it's cheaper to check the frozen food aisle first. I think I saved 50 cent a pound doing that when I bought some wings. I'm not a fan of wings but they're good if you let them soak overnight in soy sauce and sugar.

Yeah, no way in hell I was cooking last night. Just did some pork shoulder bbq in the crock pot. The store sells this really good Hormel brand that breaks down nicely. Throw in some mac salad and leftover chicken, good times were had by all.
