What are you cooking today and how?

[crashdive123]

Whew! Thanks for 'splaining that. Last time I chipped a tooth on that danged fridge.

[2dumb2kwit]

I may have lied, about the 30 minute part. (Or maybe it's just that "watched pot" thing.) I swear,....it seemed like the pie I made just didn't want to set up. LOL

I have a feeling dinner tonight will be ramen of some sort. Get hot water out of a gas station coffee maker. Probably toss in some corn and some variety of single serving meat.

Yup, it's Cthulhumas and I'll be driving across country starting around 5 or 6 tonight.

I got raided.... Winnie jnr and accomplice swooped in ate most my 3 bird roast, Roast potatoes, Parsnips, Sweet potatoes, Red cabbage, Stuffing and gravy. I managed to salvage some and a small(one spoonful) Christmas pudding. I love those boys to bits, but sheesh I wish they'd lose those appetites!
They'd already eaten 6 mince pies, 8 sausage rolls and a batch of cheese straws. I hid my chocolate.

LOL, we had a big Christmas breakfast of Biscuits and gravy, Belgian waffles, biscuits and jam or honey. Rib sticking food!

The only thing "I" cooked was a couple of hams for Christmas dinner. And I smoked them with a blend of oak and hickory wood.

Turkey jerky, well it's marinating. It'll go on the racks tomorrow evening.

The rest of the turkey scraps are on boil right now, gots to get it all off the bone. Then it's turkey/white bean/noodle soup. And, turkey/wild rice/mushroom soup.

I just got the ham warmed back up enough to finish carving, slices as much as I can get. Then, ham/navy bean soup.

It's not too hard to figure out what I'm having for lunch for the next few weeks, assuming the freezer holds.

I was off the hook for Christmas dinner too. I just did apps and dessert.

I laid out a cheese board, to start:

Followed by dates, stuffed with goat cheese and pickled jalapeno, wrapped in bacon, and broiled.

Dessert was chocolate pots de creme, with cherry whip, toasted almonds, and a bit of that matzoh toffee.

Where I come from there is an old belief that if you eat a frugal meal on the first day of the year you will be prosperous all year long. I grew up with it and I've carried on the tradition every year. Today we will have ham and beans with cornbread along with a slice of onion and some vinegar that has been fermenting with peppers. You can expect F.A.R.T.s to show up, too.

Same thing we're having her Rick. I'll be doing a shoulder outback, the girls will cook black eyed peas and okra, and skillet corn bread. Yummm!

I'm been working on integrating more french fries in my diet. First, a french fry omelet for breakfast on Saturday:

Then, an unholy union of fries, pintos in cayenne sauce, and a fried egg for breakfast on Sunday:

Man oh, man. You know I was wounded in my attempt to push away from the table on Christmas. I was awarded a Purple Pie for the injury. Just when I thought I was going to heal you come along with this! Now I'm having flashbacks of fried foods and carbohydrates. Yum. Yum.

[birdman6660]

Im with Rick .. just practicing my " pushaways" and you post yummy stuff LOL !

[grrlscout]

Fret not, friends. For, in light of the results of my new year's weigh-in, I'm cooking nothing but healthy and somewhat low calorie / low fat foods these days.

Starting with some poblano peppers, stuffed with chicken, corn, and other good things. Some whole grain ricey stuff and lots of sauteed squarsh on the side:

Well under 500 calories.

[Rick]

What's for the main course?

[crashdive123]

French fries covered with bacon and cheese.

[grrlscout]

Trust me, that meal was FILLING! I was stuffed.

But if you want dessert, how about some tiny s'mores?
