Well, dinner tonight is definitely beef stir-fried with broccoli, water chestnuts, green onions and other items TBA, with rice. Possibly also fried dumplings, but that'll depend on whether one or both of our friends wind up joining us for supper. Daughter's friend from college will definitely be over, and if her sig-other doesn't have to work, there'll be four of us at the table. Hope they can both make it; there's always lots of good talk and laughter with those two.
I did find out what's up with the chicken in the fridge. Our daughter's sig-other's daughter (got that sequence?!) has her tenth birthday today, and the three of them are joining us for supper tomorrow night. We had asked what her favorite supper was, and after researching the issue, our daughter called spouse yesterday with the menu request: fried chicken, fried potatoes and corn. Hence, the bag of cut-up chicken pieces soaking in buttermilk and spices in the fridge. Naturally I'll be making a birthday cake tonight, too.
It is a bitterly frigid morning in south-central Wisconsin today: 20 below right now, with wind-chills in the minus-30's, and today's high temp is forecast to be 6 below zero. All of the area school districts have closed down (probably as much to save on heating costs as anything else), so kids are getting another day off. I suspect that the birthday girl is frustrated about that, as I know she and my daughter were going to make up a batch of cupcakes last night for her to take in to her class as a birthday treat, but it really is safer that way.
For all of you shivering in the country's midsection this morning, bundle up well and be safe today!
Hooray for HighlandsGal!! You got that star at last, and a well-deserved one it is! You always add a lot to these conversations, and I do so look forward to hearing from you - way to go!!
I can't be bothered cooking today so I suspect I will grab some ready meal out of the freezer ( our local supermarket does some very nice ones), possibly Jambalaya or Beef Strogonoff.
I don't know about the US but I have to admit I find some ready meals really quite nice nowadays especially from places like Marks and Spencer and Waitrose my local "posh" supermarkets. They have an excellent deli too.
I also like the fact that they label the fat, calories, salt, cholesterol, etc.. content very clearly as well not using E numbers, and additives.
Did I miss what Elston did to the pork chops?? I am sure it is great so point me to whre it is posted. Thanks
Well Good Morning all I have to say that Nomad I was thinking of you and laughing as I was making my meatloaf yesterday. Usually I add shredded cheeses whether it is Mexican or sharp cheddar to the hamburg but I didn't have any and it is too cold to go to the store so I used some Velveeta and it was probably the best meatloaf I have made I added worcestershire a little cajun spice garlic powder, bread crumbs, an egg and an onion with a little BBQ sauce on the top.
This morning I think I will throw on a pot of beef veggie soup just to warm the bones.
Good morning all. I will do the rib eyes tonight. Don't want to freeze them so I will do a little gambling I guess. Not sure about veggies other than I will bake potatoes in the toaster oven..Morning tea is done and now I'm going back to bed to finish what I started...Sleep is best for me this time of day.
Wowwy, there are some great recipes floating around! Like the pork chops from a week or two ago, chicken breasts were on sale so I'm in chicken mode. I would appreciate any recipes you all have to offer!
I saw one from yesterday that has possibilities if I have all the ingredients on hand. It was truly a screen licker! LOL!!
P.S. Thanks Elston!!!! Have a great day as well
