Family took me to Olive Garden for dinner last night.

 

[lilbopeep]

I have no clue what I am cooking tonight for my birthday dinner. I may make some brownies or a chocolate cake.

 

[Mama]

I'm making chicken and vegetables over rice with biscuits.

 

[Embryodad]

Just put together foil pouch potatoes.
Plan on the steaks I mainaded from last night. On the grill naturally!

DW is sleeping on the EZ chair since 1030 am . She must have hit the codine cough syrup. ??..

Waiting for a severe storm ? to hit as per the weather channel local forecast!

Probably right when I put the steaks on the grill! Haaaaaaa

 

[UncleRalph]

trying to get motivated to figure something out for dinner, just not feeling like dealing with it tonight though. . . we'll see. maybe Korean.

 

[Mama]

Here's dinner.

 

[Embryodad]

Here's dinner.

LOOKS GREAT Mama....

 

[Mama]

Thanks Jimmy.

 

[JoeV]

Oh, Mama. That looks yummy. If I wasn't full from our dinner, I would ask for a bowl for dessert.

Anyway, we had a widow friend over for dinner, so I made my 4-cheese & spinach whole wheat raviolis, a small loaf of bread from pizza dough, and DW made her killer salad. The girls had cookies for dessert, and I'm holding out for Moose Tracks later on. Urp!

 

[Leni]

Moose Tracks? What are those? Maybe what I know as angel wings or elephant ears.

I put a flank steak into my small crock pot this morning along with a packet of Frenches Onion Soup mix. The pot is too small to add potatoes and carrots so I'll have to do them in a seperate pot. DH just picked a colander of Sun Gold cherry tomatoes so that will be one side. The green veggie will probably be broccoli.

Yumm is the answer to that Joe

 

[lilbopeep]

OH MAMA, JIMMY and JOE!! WOW that all looks and sounds wonderful!!

It feels like a sauna outside. DD#1 decided she wanted chinese takeout so she treated tonight.

 

[Embryodad]

Started the day with frying up some Taylor Ham slices.

Made myself (DW didn't want one ) a Taylor Ham cheese and egg on a toasted Thomas' Bagel that was buttered.

Supper.... I made the easy foil pouch potatoes and onions.

DW had about one Tbs. size of steak. She is not a steak fan.
The bread is those Texas Toast / Rolls with cheese topping. (if you can find the cheese).

Dessert will be some junk and cookies we bought at the A C M E market yesterday.

 

[lifesaver91958]

That Kielbasa dish looks awesome Joe!

Man....I haven't had pancakes in a long time. I think they are going to have to go on my short list.

Hope you get to feeling better Peepers.

Here's our dinner:

Mama, how do you make your brown gravy?

 

[lifesaver91958]

Here's dinner.

Looks like a great meal Mama!

 

[lifesaver91958]

Thanks Ls.. I thought the same thing as they were frying.
Only thing, is I played PacMan on them. Chomp Chomp Chomp!!!

 

[luvs]

same thought here on the ham! i meant to bake a stouffer's macaroni & cheese & cook a few broccoli florets. i have a stomach bug, though. when ill, i tend to snooze fitfully. snoozed from 2:30 last nite 'til like near-12 tonite, minus maybe an hour to clean & get on the 'puter fer a few minutes. looks like i won't be 'havin my dinner now!
i'll snack if my stomach'll let me.

 

[Sass Muffin]

Take out pizza.

 

[Mama]

Thanks Peepers, Joe, Jimmy and LS!

I really need to try my hand at homemade pasta...you always make it look so good Joe!

Mama, how do you make your brown gravy?

I browned the chuck roast (seasoned with salt and pepper), put it in some foil, topped with about 4 cloves of smashed garlic, a sweet onion and about 3 tablespoons of butter. I sealed it up and baked it in a 325° F oven until tender. I opened one end of the foil and poured all of the drippings into a gravy separator. I poured about 4 Tablespoons of the grease into frying pan and added enough flour to soak it up the grease. I cooked the flour until it was a deep brown and then slowly whisked in the broth from the cooked beef. I let it simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes. If it's too thick, you can add some canned beef broth to thin it out.

 

[Embryodad]

Mom is probably turning over in her grave!

Sunday.....Hot Dogs for supper???

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

Sorry about the bite, but I bit before I thought of the picture taking. Was in a Pickle relish mood tonight!

They were good, and I just made it on the grill and The sky's opened up and lightening was flashing over my head!

Ughhhh! Maybe Mom Mad at me??

YUM!!

HEY Jimmy .... The factory that made the Shop-Rite brand Pork Roll burned down! I like the tangy shop-rite brand pork roll BETTER than Taylor brand. I sure hope they rebuild soon.

 

[Embryodad]

YUM!!

I don't remember if I ever had that SR Brand...I asked Tina, and she just said she doesn't think so.

There is another brand out there called Pork Roll...and we did have that.
When T worked for A&P I remember her bringing home packages of reduced priced pork roll, but I cannot remember the brand. Usually when she would pull the going OODate soon...she would repackage it in bulk reduced. Same with bacon that only had a 3 more day limit.

Rules have changed now. Now it's trash it all. She would come home some nights and actually cry. She said,"To think how some starving people could benefit bying reduced product, but she had strict orders to trash it into the dumpster. Hot dogs / bacon / pepperoni / salami all packaged.....wooosh..in the carts and all trashed.

They don't do it anymore because somewhere along the line, someone complained they got sick, and they sued.....

It was cheaper to claim it as a loss. GRRrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

The Mansfield S-Rite does have managers specials on certain days. All S-Rite stores are different. The 5 stores within our area are owned by Romano Family that started in the Netcong store on 46 there.

Sorry to hear about the meat factory burning down.
I made T and Me a grilled Taylor Ham and cheese last night. hahahahaha... SOooo Goood! She said I didn't fry hers crispy enough. I peeled out the ham, and stuck it in my sandwich. Y U M !
