We had lunch with a friend and the restaurant had Chilies en Nogada on the menu. That's a first, as this dish is only traditionally served in September for Mexican Independance Day.
It's a Pasilla chilie stuffed with hamburger, apples, raisins and spices. It's covered with walnut cream sauce and pomegranate seeds are sprinkled on top. The colors green (chilie), white (sauce) and red (Pom seeds) represent the colors of the Mexican flag. It's yummy!

We'll have something light for dinner.

Happy Chinese New Year and Year of the Pig to you too Send and I think in answer to your question,it would be all three.Luau's will always exist,some pigs will be protected and because it's the Year of the Pig,they will be revered this particular year.That's what I think anyway.

We just had soup and sandwiches again tonight.I haven't been able to bake a meatloaf or roast or cookies or anything since my heating element went out on my oven about a month ago.It's ok with me though,there's been alot less dishes to do.

Happy Chinese New Year, year of the pig.
I forget...is the pig revered, protected.....or eaten for the holiday?

If this were a Luau, the pig would be eaten.

Golden's beef stew sounds good, I'll have to put that on my list. In the mean time...

Nuke an equal amount of chocolate chips and peanut butter until melted. Stir in coconut and rolled oats, a spoon of sugar is optional. Drop by spoonfuls on a plate and refrigerate until firm. Enjoy in moderation.

Instead of a spoon to drizzle hot fudge on your vanilla ice cream, use a spatula knife.
Smuckers Hot Fudge, drizzled.

I am not Greek but found a good recipe in a Cooks Country magazine Could have been America's Test Kitchen can not recall what magazine.
But I do love cooking and baking. Gave me a great "escape" of sorts when I was caring for my Husband.
I love to pick something then plan a meal around it. I love experimenting with recipes.

Grandma1954, My dad use to make Spanakopita. He was not Greek but he was a Chef and he worked with Greeks and made Greek food all the time. Man now, I have to find his recipe for it or I just use yours. I haven't had it in a very long time. Thanks for reminding me!

Msmadge, yum, goat cheese sounds good.

When you said nuts I immediately pictured some chopped almonds mixed with the cheese to add a nice crunch and almonds are soooooo good with dates.

I will be reporting back on this🤗

Grandma1954. Are you Greek? My father was and was an amazing cook as was his mother. You described spanakopita very well. I recently found that Whole Foods makes a very good one. I judge places by their versions. Hope you enjoyed yours.

Goat cheese but I imagine any flavorful cheese and maybe nuts would do

Stuffed with what ms. Madge?

Cream cheese maybe? Super yummo, sweet, salty, smokey, creamy - oh so delicious!

Spanakopita is of Greek origin.
About 10 layers of phyllo dough, brushed with butter between layers then a mixture of spinach, feta cheese, I use a bit of Pecorinao as well, garlic, green onions and I use lemon also. Then that is topped with more phyllo dough then baked to a golden brown. Great as a dinner or a side. Good hot or room temp.

Spanakpita, spinach quiche like. Eggs cheese in a very flaky crust. Phyllo dough, maybe?

Golden- my Mom use to make the most delicious hamburger soup. I always loved it.

Well..I heated up some chicken lemon soup I made but I am preparing for dinner tomorrow. Having a few people over and I love to "play with my food" So the menu is..
Lemon chicken with rosemary and garlic, will toss in some baby potatoes. Making Spanakopita (spinach pie) and I experimented with a tiramisu I flavored it with lemon curd and used limencello in place of the coffee. It will be great or an utter failure!
Just reading this back..this is a lot of lemon for a self proclaimed Chocoholic!

One of the food trucks here has just opened a brick and mortar. Mexican menu. Supposed to be quite good, I have never tried it. Was thinking about it for tonight, but, dang the wind has picked up again! We will see.🍺

May be a beer, sausage and sauerkraut.

Ali, I think I prefer Golden's chicken fingers!

Be careful with thAt cabbage and kitties, they are know to enjoy their veggies too. I will never forget a time that L was eating a salad, set it down on the coffee table for a bathroom trip. He came back and Macy, the golden, had scarfed down his salad! Shocked the heck out of me.

Half a cooked meatloaf now in freezer in three pieces. Must try some pasta something next. Anybody ever tried the frozen tortellini at the grocery store? Or frozen tamales? Maybe that would be a good idea can take out just what I will eat in one sitting. I really enjoy Marie callender's chicken pot pies. Anybody try those home chef type delivery services? Maybe that would get me more inspired. Wouldn't a food service like that be great if you could order just one or two servings?
