Wow, another star on Cyn's reputation! No surprise there, of course - you richly deserve it. You may not be a Moderator, but you sure act like one in this forum - and we're all glad that you do. Thanks for keeping the conversations lively!

How nice of you to say that! I love this thread and the people that post here! I also have my daughter who posts here as you all know so that makes me even more protective of it! But I couldn't do it alone....it is everyone of you here that make this thread what it is and who keeps their eyes on things...thank you all!
Now, I'm either crazy or I'm actually learning something here...I'm once again trying something new tonight for dinner. Yes!! I'll put my mistakes behind me and give it another try...but only because you have all told me that is what I need to do! It will be an easy new recipe for me..pesto chicken baked with fresh tomatoes and cheese on the top and as a side we will have some fresh broccoli and brown & wild rice. I had considered pasta with it but we haven't had brown & wild rice in a long time and it just sounded good. Here's to giving it one more try!!!
Not a clues as of yet. Wife got called in for a 12 hour shift and will be home late. So, I'll take a nap on it and maybe dream up something. She may grab something hot on the way home. Often in this circumstance she will get a fish sandwich fix and I may just bake a potato and load it up. After the PM nap I may have a change of heart. Congrats on the new star cyn.
Chey-I have a great creamy NY cheesecake recipe. If you want it just holler.
Thanks, Lacey. I'm kind of stuck up when it comes to cheesecake. I grew up on Junior's and they really are the best. As a result, I never care for any others.
Lots of winners on this thread!! Congrats Nomad, MWBW, YoungLisa, and Cyn. Y'all are so deserving!
Chey, Bobby Flay had a throwdown with Junior in Brooklyn just last weekend, Junior won against Bobby for his outstanding cheesecake. The cheesecake that I ate last night (Fresh Market) was very good. Not as good as Junior's but a little bit less expensive
Gee, I could have told him that. LOL!
They really are pretty pricey, especially if you have them shipped, but it's truly a culinary experience and IMO, worth every cent.
The Agenda - Week of November 9 - 14 / Plus Staycation Update
This week's dinner selections at my humble eating circle will include different soup selections. I've been craving chicken noodle, but I'm going to search for one or two others. Also ahead is some lasagna, cheese/garlic toast, and possibly some grilled chicken. I'll also have some mixed veggies to steam.
Have a wonderful week of eating, and bon appetit.
In case any of you wondered about my 'staycation excursion', I've had mostly simple things, and occasionally, some out-of-the-ordinary when going out. Among the items I've had the best Texas barbecue I could possibly have in my part of the state. It was pork ribs, smoked sausage, brisket, potato salad, pinto beans, and blackberry cobbler. Other things have included four enchiladas at Abuelos, with two cheese and one ground beef with chili sauce, and one other with chicken and a sour cream sauce. The plate came with rice and beans. Also, I had some fried catfish and french fries, and another place brought forth some German food selections: jagerschnitzel topped with brown gravy and mushrooms, potato pancakes, creamed spinach, and four different types of breads. They must have a thing for rye. Breakfast out was great, too. Bacon, eggs over-easy, English muffins, and breakfast potatoes at Mimi's. Also, I visited the Original Pancake House in Frisco, TX. Scrambled eggs, more bacon (theirs was thicker-sliced), but almost ordered a plain waffle, which is my favorite while there. So, there's your long-awaited food news from me.
There is a pot roast thread going on and it made me want pot roast. I threw a roast into the crockpot, added a can of tomato sauce, some red wine and potatoes, and covered it with garlic and oregano. I didn't add veggies to the pot because I didn't want it too sweet and am in the mood for less soggy carrots right now, so I'll steam some on the side.
