Lasagna tonight with Texas Garlic Toast. I was going to do boneless chicken but we had chicken the night before. Last night on my way home from the eye doctors, I brought home takeout. Fried Haddock with FF and DH had Shrimp. They make a Tatar sauce out of dill relish, it was good. I usually make my own tartar sauce with sweet relish and mayo.

OK... so the fajita recipe that I used tonight was NOT the one I used before.... Holy crap is it spicy! Will have to figure out which recipe I made last time...
My husband and son like it but it is far to spicy for me but I am wimpy when it comes to spice....
Well now this is bugging me as to what the heck recioe did i use last time...lol!0 -
We had SNOW here today!!
Started rainy and yuck and then, around 3 or so it turned to snow.... We live on top of a huge hill so have almost an inch on the ground.... Down below in the valley it was just rain..... It will all be gone by morning but, so not looking forward to winter!0 -
Seaside- Thanks for the creole recipe it sounds delish. LOL on the fajita do you use a packet spice mix? If so it could of been the spicy one?? Everyone is getting snow but us, I love the snow!
Michelle- Clam Chowdah sounds good i will have that tomorrow when we go out, its the best i have ever tasted and has made it in a few cook books- Hope you are still feeling good today/
Joyce- Welcome back glad you made it back safe
Deb- Lasagna sounds good
Laurie- I do the same thing (buy in bulk and freeze) I usually buy 2 hugs packs of hamburger when its 2 for 1 and divide 1 pack up in hamburger patties and put them in sandwich baggies and in a zip lock bag- they defrost in no time
I made blackened sole and asperagus sauted with mushrooms, artichoke hearts, garlic then add white wine, butter spincach and parmesan it was so good i went back for thirds

Today I made clam chowdah for lunch at the Senior Center and brought the leftovers - just two big bowls - home. We had it for supper. It tasted a lot better to me than it did when I had been standing over the pot cooking. DH loved it as much as the Seniors said they did.

Debbie - so glad you got your sundae! Sorry to be the diet-buster
OMG it's cold this morning! Even the geese are sqawking. Of course, you'd think they would have flown away by now. Yup, that's snow in this picture! And we are now expecting a big storm tomorrow night. That should make Sunday's Race for the Cure a big cold mess!

OH Michelle that picture is so beautiful. what is the name of the lake you are on?
we did not have snow here, but some parts of the state got up to 3 in. YIKES! we still ahve our boat in the water and were thinking of doing a cruise this weekend...maybe not.
So my favorite local grocery store, not a chain, puts out a great magazine called "menu" and they show you recipes and how to make them step-by-step or where to find them in the store already made to take home. they research everything and have prof chefs show you how to make it,and even suggest a wine pairing, they even have an organic farm that is on the next lake over from us and their own egg farm, really an innovative grocery store started by a local family. Anyways the moral of my story is.....they have opened up a New England store, I think near Boston, so if you New England ladies ever get a chance it is an experience to shop there. we have family in California and it is always the highlight of their trip here to visit the wegmans store. I bought some of their roasted red pepper soup for tomorrow afternoon and some gruyere cheese for grilled cheese sand.

Carrie - the lake is Arlington Pond in Salem,NH. It's actually big for a pond - almost ten miles of shoreline. That is the scene right across from our little house. What is the name of the new store opening up around here? We don't have a Wegman's near us, either. Certainly sounds interesting!

Oh, are you talking about Wegman's opening up around here? I looked up the "Menu" Magazine and see it is a Wegman's product.

i don't mind cooking so much.. i love it.. wish we had the budget to eat out more often.. What is hard is coming up with an idea for dinner. I am still on foot (can't drive due to seizure until Dec. 12th).. so what is in the freezer is what we are having. I'm hoping there is a chicken in there, because I would love to have an oriental chicken soup I'm thinking.

.Debbie sounds like you will have a blast, please,please post some pics! someone posted a pic on my facebook page of three older women (gray haired) with their shirts off and painted like the budweiser frogs, their boobs being the eyeballs way funny!
Michelle yes it is wegmans, going in the store is always a culinary experience as they have chefs cooking something on the spot. ours also has sushi chefs there every morning making fresh sushi for the day.
Apple your daughter is adorable...reminds me of when we used to put black olives on all of our fingers

Love the dolly Parton costume idea. Hope you'll post some pics. My DD is going to be a jelly fish. All her friends are being something from the sea. They made a wagon into a ship. Don't know how they're going to get it up all the hills and steps in our neighborhood.
And we are supposed to get 4 inches of snow tomorrow I heard. Usually we don't get any snow until January. I will be shocked if we really get a y accumulation.
All your posts are making me hungry! But DD went to the high school football game and will eat there. They sell pizza and hot dogs and such. And dh won't be home u til after 8 from work. Between radiation and the lymphedema and the herceptin, I have no energy or desire to make anything. I think I'll have a bowl of cereal. 2 more weeks of radiation, I can't wait to be done this.
TGIF. Have a great weekend everyone.0 -
Beautiful picture, Michelle... I agree, you definitely have a real talent for photography!
Apple,
I'm with you in that I really love to cook but don't really like the day to day of what to make given who likes/doesn't like what.... That really puts a crimp in things... Much more fun to go with what sounds good...
Carberry beat me to it with the black olive 'finger nails'! We also used to do the same thing with Bugles snack food..... Too funny!
Debbie (aka Dolly)
I hope you have a great time at your party!!! Sounds like your costume will just hit it out of the park!!0 -
Kay,
They may not have all of the details figured out yet BUT they have given it some thought!! I think that's the best we can expect at their age.....
By the end of rads I definitely felt like I was crossing the finish line but just limping across.... I was just sooooooo exhausted.. It took a few weeks even after I was finished before I felt my strength returning.... The effects of radiation are cumulative... They reach a peak and then, over time, diminish! How long varies and is as different as we all are.....
Wishing you the best!0 -

Chabba: Would you mind sharing your clam chowder recipe? I have one I haven't made in years that is heavy cream & lots of butter, but Houston isn't cold enough yet for standing at the stove very long. It's nuts to turn the A/C down just so you can turn the oven on.

Carry- Thats funny did you know the ladies? LOL!
Kay- I would love to see the pictures of the wagon made into a ship, I bet it is soooo cute as well as your daughters. Yay on the countdown for 2 more rads hope the time flys by for you
Seaside- Well i did look pretty hot if i say so myself LOL! The shirt i was going to originaly wear was to small by the time i packed all my tops in my bra ( yes you heard me right) the molds i got were still to small so i got a bunch of tank tops and stuck them in my bra haha- then i went and bought a blue cowgirl shirt then went to the craft store and bought tassells put them on the shoulders and the front pockets had my blonde wig fake eyelashes ( those didnt last long) hat boots and fingenails. One guy said ooh its liitle boo peep then took a look at me boobs and said Hello Dolly !! Too funny- But i couldnt wait to get home and take off my bra and stuffing, and the wig and everything!! Just wanted to get comfy!
I will post some pictures as soon as they are sent to me and also when DH forwards the ones he did too.
Had a great time but nothing like getting under the covers and going to sleep after a night of fun good nigt ladies, most of you are probably getting up about now LOL!

Debbie, I wish! I have 2 more weeks of rads, 10 left. I will get a pic of DD in her costume for sure. The wagon is at her friend's house. I'll ask DD to get a pic of all the girls with it. It should be a hoot!

Minus Two......I'll try. My recipe has been developed over time since I've been cooking at the Senior Center and makes enough for 25 to 30 people. I've never written it down, don't measure anything. I'll try to put approximate amounts for serving four but adjust to taste.
4 strips of bacon, julienned - butter - 1/2 small onion, finely chopped - 1 clove garlic, minced - flour to make a roux
1 or 2 medium potatoes, cubed into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces cooked in broth from clams and 1 bottle clam juice with water to cover until barely fork tender, drain and save liquid
3 cans chopped clams or 1/2 lb or so chopped fresh clam meat
milk, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, dry sherry, minced dill or parsley for garnish
Cook bacon till crisp in heavy soup pot, remove and pour off all but 2 to 3 tbs grease, add equal amount butter. When butter melts add flour to make a roux and cook on low for a minute or two. Add potato water and cook to thicken. Using about 2 parts milk to one part cream, thin to desired soup consistency. Should be fairly thick. Heat to serving temperature.
Season to taste with salt, Worcestershire and sherry. Add reserved bacon and clams, heat again. Raw clams will cook in just a minute or so. Garnish as desired.

Carberry,
Thanks for a much needed laugh today! That picture is The funniest thing I've seen in a long time....0 -
Chabba,
Thanks for the recipe! I'm going to give that a try! Sounds delicious.... Today would actually be a really good soup day! Dreary and COLD here in NY.... Drizzly with snow mixed in... Yuck!0 -
You can't beat clam chowder for cold weather, maybe that's why it comes from New England. It would probably be considered sacrilege to use the kind of fresh clams I do - our local razor clams. Wonderful flavor and tender though.
