What's for supper?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Country Families : One Thread

Since it is a cold day and I am on the run, I am putting chili in the crockpot and probably having peanut butter sandwiches and a fruit salad with it and milk to drink.

What is for supper at your house?

I'm thinking about making "poor man's lobster" from your recipe with whiting filets which are on sale at BI LO.(.99). Very busy day though!

I'm making hamburger-onion soup and homemade bread. It's a cold windy day...perfect for a nice bowl of warming soup and warm bread with real butter!

We'll be having meatloaf, mashed potaotes and home canned beets. I'm also making bread today so a slice of that will be nice too. Maybe for dessert as we're skipping the dessert thing unless it's fruit or my homemade yogurt. I may try some oat bran muffins I read about this morning in a book I got from the library yesterday about simplifying your life. Actually the name of the book is Simplify Your Life by Elaine St. James. Baking on this cold and windy day seems like the thing to do.

Since it's POURING RAIN, YEEAAAAAAA!!!! this morning, I decided to do the "mega-cook" thing. I do that occasionally when the weather is foul. Then we have meals in the freezer or fridge for the days when we're doing outside projects all day and just want to fall into the kitchen, fill our tummies quick&easy, shower, and hit the sack.

So, since 7am I have made whole wheat, cinnamon-raisin, and white bread; yogurt; corn muffins; egg custard; cheesecake; and hard boiled eggs. I just put beef stew together in the dutch oven, deep-dish lasagna in the roaster, and lentil-vegetable soup in the crockpot.

Whichever dishes My Sweet Hubby desires for dinner tonight will be served with salad from the garden and fruit cup with home-made ice cream.

My home smells great, is clean enough for company, and after I catch up on the forum, I'm going to play with my sewing machine while things "percolate".

Have a Blessed and Praise-Filled Day

Tonight is chicken breast in lemon juice, peas and broccoli from the freezer and we dug some carrots in the garden not too long ago, so I'll cook those too. I made some chocolate chip cookies yesterday, so that's dessert.

Michaela! What does your kitchen look like??? When I cook lots of stuff like that I usually have to wipe the flour off of the ceiling! Ha, Ha, well maybe it is not quite that bad... not quite!

-- Melissa in SE Ohio (me@home.net), March 21, 2002.

Waffles and our own maple syrup, sausge and applesauce. A good cold weather supper.

-- Rosalie (Dee) in IN (deatline@globalsite.net), March 21, 2002.

Umm, DH is going to make Mee Pad, a thai dish we learned to make when we lived in Asia - stir fried rice noodles, pea pods, garlic, and basil and spicy sauce. Also vegetables with peanut sauce. I can't wait!

-- Sharon in NY (astyk@brandeis.edu), March 21, 2002.

I'm roasting a pork shoulder right now, so tonite is pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw(serve it on the sandwich!!), baked beans and I'm thinking caramel apples for dessert. I'm starving now, but holding out to dinner, so I can really EAT!!!

I just came back from shopping and the whole house smells like chili, very good smelling actually. I am so thankful for crock-pots, a great invention to be sure.

-- Melissa in SE Ohio (me@home.net), March 21, 2002.

I just finished 2 pans of bbq meatballs. I'll I have to do is put them in around 5pm!! I think I will have greenbeans (frozen from last year), mashed potatoes, and fruit salad.

-- Micheale from SE Kansas (mbfrye@totelcsi.net), March 21, 2002.

Baked Chicken Legs, Mashed taters, Green Beans, and Fruit. Making it easy cause I am cooking a pre Easter Dinner this Saturday. Complete with turkey, dressing, green bean Cass., Mac & Cheese, Deviled eggs, Cranberry sauce, mashed taters, And Choco Chip Cheesecake. MMMMMMMMMM

Every time I say I'm going to make something for supper here, something happens and I don't have time to make it! But today we had supper for lunch, so I'm safe! We had midwestern butter-bean chili and cornbread. Just right on such a cold, blustery day.

Michaela: I cannot figure how a girl as talented as you manages to stay single!!!:)

-- Ann Markson (tngreenacres@hotmail.com), March 21, 2002.


I think Michaela is married and Micheale is not! Pretty close names though aren't they!

-- Melissa in SE Ohio (me@home.net), March 21, 2002.

Oh yes, I'm very very married to My Sweet Hubby. The Most Merciful Father brought us together in His own Perfect Time to be each other's best friend, lover, and prayer warrior. And to help each other achieve our dreams and be a Beacon of His Love.

Melissa, my mother was very strict in her kitchen. She taught us girls to clean as we go along. Over many years I've kinda got it down to a science, but that's not to say that there isn't a mess to clean up at the end!! I had just finished an hour's cleaning and scrubbing when I made my "mega-cook" post.

Just so you know I'm not perfect, My Sweet Hubby came home for dinner and then left for a meeting in town, and my supper dishes are still in the sink - LOL! I checked my e-mail to see if #3 son had returned from business trip, and couldn't resist checking out the forum just one last time for the day. heheheheh

Have a Blessed Evening

-- Michaela (flhomestead@hotmail.com), March 21, 2002.


Oops I forgot - My Sweet Hubby chose his favorite Beef Stew with corn muffins, garden salad, fruit cup & icecream.

And I finished my Easter suit, FINALLY!!!

Have a Peaceful Night

-- Michaela (flhomestead@hotmail.com), March 21, 2002.


Oh Michaela--I knew you were married. I made a typo. I meant Micheale from SE Kansas! Haha. She is the single girl! I'd never hear names like either of yours and here you both are! Lovely names both.

-- Ann Markson (tngreenacres@hotmail.com), March 21, 2002.

Hubby had the day off & since tomarrow is my birthday----we ate lunch with our daughter & her family & I spoiled the grandsons as much as I could during lunch------then hubby took me out/ to supper on the way home-----no cooking today--- It was cold /but a really wonderful day with the people I love most in this world!!!!

-- Sonda in Ks. (sgbruce@birch.net), March 21, 2002.

MELISSA!!!!! Please tell me you posted in error! Chili with peanut butter??? To me, that's like having sauerkraut with chocolate sauce. Man, you yankees eat weird stuff!! Give me some good old cornbread or saltines with my chili....and NO BEANS! Sweet dreams tonite Darlin'. TK

-- texaskid (texaskid@texasmail.com), March 22, 2002.

The only way to eat chili is with peanut butter sandwiches dipped in it!!!

I don't use kidney beans, I use one small can if pork and beans in mine. I do like it with corn-bread or crackers too!

I think it is fun to read what other people have to eat. There are many variations depending on location.

-- Melissa in SE Ohio (me@home.net), March 22, 2002.


OK I never heard of peanut butter sandwhiches with chili !!! Crackers here too in NY or when we lived in CT.

I have just stambled across this site and it seemed to be interesting to be discussing what you are going to be having for dinner or supper. I am from New Zealand and it is a very hot day here to day and we are going to be having hamburgers for dinner and hot cross buns for desert. Kate.
