April Dinners

[dreamseeer]

Today I hit a sale at Sunflowers Market.....(organic stuff).

So........tonight is going to be heavy on the veggies.

Swiss Chard steamed
Fresh Califlower
Bison Burger with blue cheese or maybe cheddar (haven't decided just yet.)

Maybe an ear of sugar corn boiled and then buttered.

Love veggies and so good for you.

I cook pretty basic most days.

I have to tell you that the califlower only cost 88 cents and it is just the right size for two with no left overs.

Its a cool day here as well. We're having a pork with lots of cumin, garlic and onion and pan roasted carrots, rutabaga and turnips.

The cutlets defrosted! I like them much better with the Panko.

Just for future reference....Feather, if you need to defrost in a hurry but don't want to use a microwave...........just put your meat in a clean bowl in water.......it really helps to speed things along.

Hope this will be helpful in the future.

Thanks dreamseeer, I had forgotten about that. My brain is fried by allergies.

You are so welcomed.

Sometimes I just need it in a hurry.......... I fudge and use warm water instead of cold.

I figure .........as long as you are home an it isn't gonna sit in the water for 8 hours you can manipulate the water temp as needed.

Best wishes.

Tonight is beef short ribs.........cooked two hours til they melt in your mouth. Pan sauteed Portabella mushrooms smothered in butter and then will be poured over the short ribs.

Sides are yellow rice and broccoli.

If I want dessert I will thaw out a frozen slice of "death by chocolate" cake and put it with vanilla ice cream.

Ahhhhhhhh life's little pleasures before TSHTF and we go to beans and rice every night.

A cocktail or two of Evan Williams and 7-Up.

What a meal.............fit for a king...................or queen. LOL

I had popcorn chicken tonight. I dropped DH at a friends so the cat and I are enjoying having the house to our selves.

Oh my yes....that does sound wonderful. Nothing like fresh from the pond fish.

I sure would like to have some of that young and tender poke...........it doesn't grow out my way ya know.

[dreamseeer]

Last night was spaghetti with hamburger crumbles and sauteed portabello mushrooms. Very filling and satisfying.

[Cactus Az]

Last night was elk tacos.
Tonight,I have a beef roast in the pressure cooker. Taters and carrots, along with fresh rolls to go with.And, gravy, of course.

Fresh fish, now that does sound yummy.

[Feather]

I've got buffalo chicken strips about to go in the oven and I think I'll mix up some bronies to go for desert.

[dreamseeer]

Tonight was a magnificently dressed to the hilt salad with honey mustard dressing. For a side was french bread dressed with loads of butter and Johnny's Garlic Spread.

Oh..............my tummy is soooooooooo happy.

How about your tummy tonight?

[dreamseeer]

What has happened to this category? It used to be alive every night with folks posting what they were fixin. Sucks, it doesn't matter what you are having....just post it....and put your side notes along with it. The story of your day is just as interesting as what you are eating.

Today I had company coming and going all day. Some lunch friends stayed most of the afternoon and we had a wonderful visit...........all of that time in the kitchen........sampling this and that, checking out recipes and gossiping....lol ....well, you know how it is with a bunch of old biddies, don't ya?

Anyway.......lunch was great.

We had pastrami sandwiches on really fresh rye bread with mayo and mustard, tomato and onion. Sides were dill pickles, salt & vinegar chips. Then we really got serious with triple ginger snaps and sampled some mango salsa which I just fell in love with.

Mango Salsa is all the ingredients of regular salsa except you substitute mangos for tomatoes. I love the sweet an peppery combo taste.

We laughed it up all afternoon.

Dinner tonight was left over pastrami sandwiches. I mean, why ruin the fun of the day by shifting gears and fixing something else.

Half the pleasure of food is the people you are foody with.

Hope your foody day was fun too.

Last night I was going to make brownies but didn't have a box mix (I know, make them from scratch) I did find a box of home bakes chocolate lava cake. it's about the same as what Mom made that was called chocolate pudding cake. You have a small chocolate cake with a gooey pudding like stuff under it yummy! It was ok but next time I'll do it from scratch.

DH had ham for dinner and I had a small bowl of cereal.

Tomorrow I have to do some thing with the ham that is left, fried potatoes and ham sounds good.

Oh honey........now you are making me hungry for "death by chocolate".

[dreamseeer]

BTW..........I forgot to add that we had smoked cheddar cheese on the pastrami sandwiches. {{{{{{{sigh}}}}}}}}}

Then you need to get some "death by chocolate"

I don't eat a lot of chocolate, it bothers my stomach if I have more then a small serving. The farther I get from 40 the more things I can't eat.

The pastrami sounds good.

[Ought Six]

New York steak, garlic bread, salad. I have not had a steak for quite a while.
