primitives discuss what's for supper Sunday evening

[Skul]

I'd eat a whole plate of chicken skin, if I could.  Now that is some good stuff.  I can't get enough of it.        



[edited "plat" to "plate", although both usages are technically correct in the above context. Plat, plate, whatever, so long as there are chicken skins.]

Am.....so....not....going.....there.

This reminds me of the last time I did that, Friday evening, when I was out with the femme and a friend of hers, dining at the bar in town.  Swede, the cook of Norwegian derivation whose specialty is Italianate cuisine, was cooking.

She had what she called focaccia.

I got exasperated.  "Why don't you just call it what it is, 'bread'?"

You got some woman taking you out to dinner and you're more interested in the food?

Focaccia is nothing fancy.  It's pizza without the cheese and tomato sauce.

I prefer the Spanish 'platos'.

Now coach, I love to cook up a big plate of spaghetti. However, being referred to a Swede, is fightin' words.

Now for the zinger-----

We have Dole orange juice each morning with pulp.

So Hubby stopped to pick up a container of the juice but the store only carried Oakhurst OJ.

The next morning when I drank the juice-------it was AWFUL, really bad. The sell by date was ok, then I checked the label I found Oakhurst advertised on the label as a product of Maine.

Since when does Maine grow oranges ?  How can this be a product of Maine-------Sort of like selling Lobsters as a product of Montana.

What's for Dinner?" Thurs., April 17
Yippee, I have tomorrow off, so I'm making:

Cauliflower-cheese soup for an appetizer.


 

Picture soggy cauliflower heads floating in a sticky mass of half melted cheese and watery gruel.

Chicken skin ?????????????.....give me a bushel of "pork skins".

I'll have that, too.  Did you know pork skins made it to both poles on numerous polar explorations due to the amount of energy in them? 

If nads were here, she could tell us what it was like to snack on them after a long day of pulling a sled.

Was sled dog one of her former occupations?

nads seems more like the gummy-bear type 

[BattleHymn]

Nads going on a polar exploration as one of the people who just pulls the sleds who argues with the actual explorers should be flippydoo'd.

What's for Dinner ~ Friday ~ April 18th

Sorry! I thought I saw a post for today when I was here earlier!

1. Broiling catfish w/black pepper and lime. Could go Asian, Latin, Mediterranean or simply a rice side

As is. Broiled fish and rice is so quick and simple.

Ah, forgot I have fresh asparagus - so it's going to be the simple dishes.

4. Oh boy, did I get lucky winging it. Pan seared the catfish in butter and canola.

Nice fillet. The tail end came out blackened, toasty. The fleshy end, well seared and moist. Figured I was going to end up mixing the asparagus and rice on the plate, so I cooked both together. LOL.
 
Rice, 18 minutes. Asparagus in the rice simmer for another 5 minutes. Catfish pan seared, 3 minutes one side, 2 minutes the other side when I dropped the asparagus. All finished together and set aside, covered to set for a bit.
 
Love it when just going for it works! Yeah, I took a slice of bread and sopped up the plate juices...

Canola refers to both an edible oil (also known as Canola oil) produced from the seed of any of several varieties of the rape plant, and to those plants, namely a cultivar of either rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) or field mustard/turnip rape (Brassica rapa subsp. oleifera, syn. Brassica campestris L.). Consumption of the oil is not believed to cause harm in humans and livestock. It is also used as a source of biodiesel.

2. Kielbasa

with cabbage n' k***t. Either it'll be in sandwich form, or if so inspired... I might try to make potato pancakes (placki?).
 
Oh yeah. And beer.

Kiełbasa, kołbasa, klobasa, kobasa, kolbasi, kovbasa, kobasi, and kubasa are common North American anglicizations for a type of Central and Eastern European sausage. Synonyms include Polish sausage and Ukrainian sausage. In English, these words refer to a particular genre of sausage, common to all Central and Eastern European countries but with substantial regional variations. In the Slavic languages, these are the generic words for all types of sausage, local or foreign.

Najlepsze przepisy na placki. Pancakes amerykańskie, pancakes z dodatkiem płatków owsianych. Placki jogurtowe z truskawkami. Racuchy drożdżowe, racuchy z jabłkami, pampuchy. Placki z zsiadłego mleka. Bliny gryczane na drożdżach z łososiem wędzonym i śmietaną. Pieczone placki na drożdżach z warzywami. Jabłka smażone w delikatnym cieście naleśnikowym. Placki z kaszy gryczanej z sosem grzybowym z borowikami.

11. Ukrainian food

Thanks. For Easter breakfast we will be having kielbasa and beets and horseradish relish and think of the good people of Ukraine, both Russian and Ukrainian speaking, and hope that this sad conflict will end and peace will return.

3. Leftover deep-dish sausage pizza.

Another salad.

5. Ah, you Chicago folks...the perennial pizza divide.

6. I like both.

I make this kind because I'm no good at rolling out the dough.

8. Makes sense. In New England there were some traditional "issues". Thin crust or deep dish, clam chowder, New England or Manhattan and of course BoSox / Yankees. LOL, we felt the western portions of Connecticut shouldn't be considered part of New England. Too many Yankee supporters. And, of course, baked beans. Everyone had an opinion about what were "real" baked beans.

9. Chicago also has stuffed pizza, which involves several layers.

Also, it's Cubs or White Sox. I'm a Cubs fan.

10. LOL!

Yep, that's how I remember it. Anybody west of the Connecticut River was really a N'yorka.
 
Wow - I really miss baked beans. My family never made 'em from scratch, but always insisted on B&M brand. Too bad. The ones we made in Boy Scouts beat anything in a can. The funny thing is, I actually found a store here in the SoCal high desert which sells... B&M baked beans. So I tried them.
 
It sucked.

7. peanut sesame noodles

Asian cucumbers

chicken gyoza

Jiaozi or if fried, pot sticker, is a type of dumpling commonly eaten across Eastern, Central and Western Asia. Though commonly considered part of Chinese cuisine, jiaozi are also commonly eaten in many other Asian countries.
 
Jiaozi typically consists of a ground meat and/or vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together or by crimping. Jiaozi should not be confused with wonton; jiaozi has a thicker skin and a relatively flatter, more oblate, double-saucer like shape (similar in shape to ravioli), and is usually eaten with a soy-vinegar dipping sauce (and/or hot chili sauce); while wontons have thinner skin and are usually served in broth. The dough for the jiaozi and wonton wrapper also consist of different ingredients.

A wonton (also spelled wantan, wanton, or wuntun) is a type of dumpling commonly found in a number of Chinese cuisines.

Wontons are made by spreading a square wrapper (a dough skin made of flour, egg, water, and salt) flat in the palm of one's hand, placing a small amount of filling in the center, and sealing the wonton into the desired shape by compressing the wrapper's edges together with the fingers. Adhesion may be improved by moistening the wrapper's inner edges, typically by dipping a fingertip into water and running it across the dry dough to dissolve the extra flour. As part of the sealing process, air is pressed out of the interior to avoid rupturing the wonton from internal pressure when cooked.

Then they peal it.  Go figure. 

I wish you hadn't admitted to misspelling it.
I like the original image.
A guy rubs his potato, then peals it, as in sings loudly about it.
You could have gotten away with it as if it was a very wry and sardonic multifaceted meaning.
Now take it back about the misspelling.
We all know you are trying to be unnecessarily humble.
