I'm only submitting once, but still getting posted twice. Weirdness.
I think the cooking urge is from reading all these posts about the great food everyone is fixing.0 -

Cheers to all! Toyota guys make me feel lazy, and lonely. LOL Tonite, I have a stuffed pork chop I bought that way. Will eat it with cooked green beans. That is all! LOL. If I put if in the oven, maybe I will cook some Pillsbury rolls as long as the oven is on. Otherwise into the pan it goes, don't know which is easier! LOL.

Cheers, Laurie!!! We all can't thank you enough for starting this fabulous thread! I think I'll join you in a toast!
OK, and I'm officially done...tired...exhausted! The green beans will be ready in a couple minutes, the meatloaf and mashed pots are done, the chili and soup are in containers in the fridge and freezer, and most of the dishes are in the dishwasher.
Yup, I'm done and I want a glass of Louis Martini cabernet.

Cheers! Perfect 10,000th post! Leftover salmon and some leftover squash soup here. Susan, you're my hero too. Reminds me of the little summer cottage we spent the whole summer at the beach all the years I was growing up, no phone, no hot water, no washer or dryer. My sister was singing about it on Facebook: no Phone, no lights, no motor cars, not a single luxury, like Robinson Caruso, as primitive as can be. LOL

Woo-Hoo to making the 10,000 post. So thankful Laurie you started this thread.
They have been doing maintence everynight for the last few nights, around 1 0r 2 in the morning and has been closed down, I know you are all asleep around that time so probably had no idea they must still be having maintence issues.
kidsandlabs- I am sure you will get lots more advice on this, but for me I was told to try and avoid any thing spicy or acidic. Popsicles and pudding, and watermelon were my choice. And lots of water to flush out the toxins in your body. Hope this helps and hope your SE are gentle on you. (((hugs)))

Had my follow up with the BS for my cellulitis episode. Skin below and including half the areola is still thick, she said that is from the combination of the radiation and cellulitis, it will probably stay that way. She wants a MRI, so Oct 9th I will have that then another follow up with her Oct 16th. Cripes, will it ever end?

That's precious, Deb!!!

Cute pic, Deb. Hope the MRI goes well.
Michelle, you deserve to rest, busy day!
Kidsandlabs, just enjoy a nice dinner sometimes taste buds are affected and later food doesn't taste right. So enjoy it now. But, do drink a lot.small SEs.
Laurie, 10000 posts is great.0 -
Wow! Congrats Laurie and everyone else for the milestone on this thread. Pretty impressive!
I too have had the cooking bug (in truth, I think I am avoiding clearing out house clutter, which I should be heavily involved in) But since I bought a ton more delish tomatoes yesterday I was determined to roast lots more. I plan to freeze some and use some in a pasta or lasagna dish I will bring to a pot luck on Friday. Also made a fresh corn and black bean salsa, (for the first time)which turned out great....and for dinner tonight I made my favorite lamb burgers topped with feta, red onion, roasted tomatoes and lettuce. Yum!!! I guess there is nothing like a little cool weather to get us folk cookin'! But I can hardly hold a candle to your efforts, Michelle, and your culinary from-scratch creations, Susan. I recently bought tamatillos, but never used them before...shall I be roasting them also? I was thinking about a salsa....but with tomatillos can they be raw in salsa like tomatoes?
Since I can never seem to get pictures (of food, family, etc.) on the posts, I'll bring them to Pickety Place on Sat.
Yes, I am having the same snafus and messages when trying to post.0 -
I find raw tomatillos to be too "raw." They aren't really related to the tomato in spite of their appearance. They are actually a type of gooseberry. This is a really nice salsa that freezes very well. My only tip is to roast a bit extra pepper, and then add slowly to the blender, tasting in between each addition. There should be some kick, but enough to make you weep. To use it as an enchilada topping, cut with some chicken stock, or cream for Enchildas Suisse.

Tip, to avoid double posts, afterthought hitting the submit button, after it turns green, instead of waiting forerver or hitting the button again, go down below that and hit favorites, it somehow pusheses the post through.

I would freeze grapes, blueberries, strawberries and melon balls on a glass sheet and then put them in a plastic bag. On chemo days, I'd put them in a tiny styrofoam cooler with a pound of dry ice and bring them with us. She'd eat them, one at a time, like M&M candies.
The nurses liked the idea of food and cold stuff.0 -
LOL, three time's a charm Lacey.

laurie,
The long method is to poach a chicken with some veggies and then use the poached chicken. The faster method is to buy a rotisserie chicken from the store. Either way, shred the chicken. Preheat your oven to about 375º. Cut some onions [I like doing crosswise] and toss them in a bowl with a bit of oil and salt and let marinade. Warm your tomatillo sauce [salsa verde] in a sauce pan with some chicken stock or water. Shred some cheese, cheddar, monteray jack, or a combination. Heat a frypan and add the onions. Let them get brown and mix into the shredded chicken.
Smear some sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
Add some oil to the fry pan over medium-high heat and, one by one, fry the corn tortillas, 15 seconds per side. When the tortilla is ready, place it on a plate, fill with the chicken mixture, roll and place in the baking dish. Continue until you have enough filled tortillas. The seam side should be down.
Spoon more tomatillo sauce over the stuffed enchiladas. Top with cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes. If the cheese isn't browned, turn on the broiler for a few moments.
If you buy your salsa verde, I highly recommend the Fontera brand label tomatillo sauce.
Phew!
I hope this helps,
*susan*

Laurie- My favorite is cheese enchiladas. Lightly spay the tortillas with pam spray and warm in pan just until soft. Shredd med cheddar and montery Jack cheese in a bowl. add diced onion, and if you like( olives, optional) add a small can of chopped olives (drained) to the cheese mix, with salt, pepper and garlic powder. mix all well in bowl. In a pan warm, I large can each of La victoria red enchilada sauce and the green verde enchilada sauce, bring to a boil to thicken then keep warm.- Dip the tortillas in the sauce and assemble in a baking pan put cheese mix down the middle and roll up where fold will be facing down. (reserve some of the mixture for top) Bake at 375% for 25 minutes then put reserved cheese mix on top and return to oven for another 10 minutes. When I get ready to plate it, I top it with sour cream, shredded lettuce. chopped green onions and sliced avocado. So yummy I get asked for my recipe all the time its simple but yummy. I think I will make these tomorrow.
Wish I could be there to meet you all at pickety place, Its great you all live close enough to do that.
