Moma Bear (DGF) loves me to make a loaded Chefs salad. I will dump in everything including the kitchen sink. I will serve it with my Cajun vinaigrette, garlic bread and some coffee ice cream and danish chocolate sticks shoved into the ice cream.

Don't quite know for sure yet - I think hubby & I will go to the fish market and pick up some prawns and sea scallops and make kabobs on the grill.

It's a lot easier to roll the dough out if you put it between two sheets of waxed paper. I did that for the bottom crust, and it's a lot easier to get the crust in the dish without destroying it. I rolled out the top crust the same way, then removed the top paper and used a pastry wheel to cut the strips. Then it's just a matter of using my superior basket weaving techniques.:yum::yum: (I rode the short bus to "Special Class.")

I wasn't sick today like you, Ray, just really lazy.
I'm going to nuke some leftovers of Homecook's recipe beef & mushrooms and serve over egg noodles. I'll also have a broccoli bunch that will be steamed and then sauted in EVOO with slivered almonds.

Ray, what is you goulash like? Around here it's made with red gravy, noddles, burger and peppers and onions. Like a thick pasta dish.

Over here our goulash is made with stew meat, brown gravy, onions, potatoes and carrots. We either put it over wide egg noodles or polenta.

Well after the last two days I think my wife and I are eating light tonight. Friday nights dinner I had a salad with a mustard/balsamic/basil vinergrete an grilled lobster with bok choy and apparsugus in a truffle sauce. The food was excellent at the http://www.savorygrille.com/ which has become our new Friday night dinner site. Sunday we had the full course from Warren which is always excellent needless to say.

You could decipher all those typos, huh? lol
That's interesting, Joe. We're relatively close and I would have expected yours to be the red gravy version, too. That sounds really good. potatoes over noodles though? Ehh, why not (lol).

I actually got my neighbor to try sushi today. I fibbed and told her it was a mother's tradition where I come from and would be insulted if she refused. She didn't believe me but tried it anyways and now she has a new favorite food. lol

thats the same way we make it Chow... i think every culture has a version of goulash... Amanda's family makes it different and they are only 200 miles away from my family

they make it similar to Joe's...really strange

platter of ribs was the only picture taken... i didnt take photo nor was it my camera so it is a little dark, the ribs were not very dark at all... the dark is actually dark red from the bbq sauce.

introduced a bunch of people to what real bbq was..it was a hit, hardly a word was said while everyone was eating... :ohmy:

My beloved is making chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy and peas, and my daughter brought over a double chocolate pie for dessert.

Kim makes the absolute BEST chicken fried, (AKA country fried) steak I've ever eaten. I think it's because he starts with good meat, pounds it out himself, seasons it well, and fries it in hot enough grease, so it is neither greasy nor soggy.
He uses an electric skillet, by the way. I'll take that over a cast iron skillet any day of the week. (Sorry Uncle Bob and others, but I'm just not fond of cast iron.) You can't beat it for campfire cooking though.
