Moderator: could you please remove the "show most helpful" option from this thread. It is just an ongoing off-topic discussion and there really are no "helpful" or "unhelpful" answers. It would save us all an extra step in going to the end of the thread!

Thanks.

Yep, they do, Jeanne. Cut up apples, raisins, pecans .. all according to mood and availability in the larder

I put grapes in my last pasta salad. That and walnuts really perk a salad up, don't they?

Emjo .. a couple of months ago, I tried brining for the first time. Best dang porkchops I've ever had. Verrrryum.

Jeanne .. that dang salt. Wish I'd been raised without it. It ruins the palette for tomato- or poultry-based anything. I've tried some of the herbal-based substitutes, but it's just not the same, hehehe.

Sciatica is acting up, so tonight was a leftover macaroni salad (with half the veggie bin green stuff thrown in) with tuna and grapes. I feel almost virtuous.

My boarders are out tonight so it was just me, and I needed quick and easy and a reasonable level of carbs. My blood sugar got too low while I was running errands. I took a single banana through the checkout lane, stood there and ate it and then continued my shopping.
Dinner was Stove-Top Stuffing with a can of Costco chicken and sauteed fresh mushrooms and onion. Not bad, but too salty. I shouldn't have used broth for the liquid.

Leftover Mac and cheese tonight, but I'm gonna make up for it on my vacation! I better pack my sweat pants for the trip home.

While we talking about BBQ and summer, what about fresh, ripe tomatoes? And fresh green beans? Looking forward to those garden veggies!

pork chops brining - thought I would try that. Alfredo pasta, brussel sprouts, spiced apples, strawberry and spinach salad with a poppy seed dressing

Ismiami: I hadn't even thought about that! I love summer and the smell of steak on the barbecue and a nice salad... chicken seems to be about the only thing we eat anymore....I may start clucking soon!

reminds me of an old joke. a history buff hired an artist to paint something depicting custers last battle and possibly last words. the painting was of general custer, a cow with a halo around his head and hundreds of indians lying in the grass copulating. custers last words ; holy cow, look at all the f*****g indians..

"Holy Cow"! Eating steak and beef stew, just does not sound right. You remind me of the ad campaign where the cow is campaigning for "eat more chicken". LOL

HolyCow, beef stew! With rice! Yummmmm. sigh.. It's almost 6pm and you all are making me so hungry. You just reminded me that I need to stop by the store and buy a 20 lbs bag of Jasmine rice for $22.00.

I had a steak but did not feel like barbecue so I cut it in chunks and made beef stew for everyone and sister brought home some sour dough bread....Yum!

Sharyn, that's my kind of food - light .. but I'd eat it with rice... I just spoke to baby bro long distance. He's arriving tomorrow and he's panicking because I did not assign him seats - which I did. He just don't know how to read his itinerary. Anyway, I gave him the heads up that I don't cook. Nor do we have food. So, he better be prepared to have $$ to buy food. Then him and oldest sis can figure out between them - who is going to cook it. =)

Tomorrow is a work day at home...much to do!!! A lazy dinner, not for the heart, cholesterol mined, but we haven't had this is a very long time so one night won't hurt.....eggs, bacon, toast, potato pancakes, saute mushrooms with bell peppers and onions.

light veg stuffing, lots of apple, can of corn. stuffing = sauteed vegs, bread crumbs, egg. season to taste. bake that sucker till it smells up the whole neighborhood, at that point its done.. sage and red pepper are good in stuffing..

hello diners! Just came across the captain's layered pork chop dinner discussion. I don't eat pork very often, but that does sound good. I may need a few more directions though.

One pork recipe I do like is Pork and Barley. Stuff the pork chops or loin with sauteed barley, peppers, onions, and celery (sometimes mushrooms too). Bake. Yum.

Tonight, despite the beef comments, I'm having a hamburger. My cooking energy went to breakfast because my son is home from college: French toast, my recipe, and topped with ground nuts, berries, nutmeg, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. He loves it.

ewww .. I'll cook and cut them up to make stuffing and gravy, but not as a stand alone dish. Too strong a flavor for me. Glad someone likes 'em. Better than wasting 'em.

I've had my oven go out on me in the middle of making a wedding cake! Argh!! Good thing I had a friend with a working oven and sense of humor. Arriving at 11 pm with a KitchenAid under your arm and a grocery bag of ingredients would not be viewed as funny by just anyone.

I used my Macys Rewards to "buy" me a Magic Bullet. I think with father being bedridden and only drinking nutrient drinks is as exciting as watching a snail cross the road. I've decided to just buy it and then wing it when it comes to making nutritious Variety of drink. We have growing in our yard 3 different kinds of mangos (Haden, regular and carabao mangos), bananas, papaya trees and orange. When I have time, I will google some healthy drink mix for him.

thx windy - I will wait and see what Kitchen Aid does when (if) they contact me. I have hand washed the parts as I wasn't sure if they were dishwasher proof. I find if I clean it right away it isn't bad. I will look for a Cuisinart immersion blender, My imm blender bit the dust a few months ago and I miss it. Roasted acorn squash is another fave. I would pass on the couscous - allergic to gluten - and add a green veggie. G and I stick with one high carb item per meal - e.g. potatoes or winter squash or biscuits or rice etc. and add veggies. Brussel sprouts or asparagus are good with it. Spaghetti squash is one of my current likes.
