"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.

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.

Kazzaa, ROFL laughing, especially about the cat! Envious of your celebration feast. Sounds like a great time. Love that!

Emjo, I've been impressed with my Hamilton Beach food processor for going on 6 years. Got it through a rewards program my husband had at work. I wanted a Kitchen Aid but wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. It's been sturdy as heck until recently with my pizza dough making bout. I've had to keep my hand on the top to hold it down when the dough gets really bound.

For veggies and soups it's great. Does slicing and shredding in seconds. Love it except for the cleaning as is with all FP. It's all dishwasher friendly though so that's good.

For small work, I love, love, love my Cuisinart immersion blender. That puppy is SO easy to clean. Whip up your dressing. Pour in serving container. Whip up soap and hot water in the cleaning container. Whir, rinse and you're done. Did I mention I love my it? Yes. I'm a nerd...

Gosh, those pork chops sound so good. Roasted acorn squash and some couscous on the side? :)

Pork chops sound good cap and eclairs. I made eclairs a couple of lifetimes ago. My fave pork chop recipe these days is smother them in mustard and brown them then into the oven with apple wedges(skins on), raisins and even dates if you like, lots of cinnamon (some cloves and nutmeg optional). cover with foil and bake till done

thx ladeeC. I have a blender, which is getting old grant you (20yrs?)and will need to be replaced soon, but need size for soups. What I need is the slicing/shredding function of a food processor. I posted on the Kitchen Aid face book site saying I was not impressed and why and they promised to get in touch with me. Someone else had done that for a similar reason and got a replacement, so I will hang on till I see what they offer.

For supper tonight - chicken breast with mushrooms, onion and spinach in a coconut sauce flavoured with ginger, lime, and garlic and a good shake of roasted red pepper flakes.. It passes the taste test! I will serve it on pasta or with brown/wild rice for G and without the extra carbs for me. Saving the rest of the bag of spinach for a strawberry spinach salad tomorrow.

Has anyone tried black pepper on strawberries? Mm mm good!

i like to vertically stack chops in a bread pan with generous amounts of light veg / apple stuffing between each chop. a can of whole kernel corn in the stuffing makes the stuffing the best part of the meal.
keep the stuffing pretty moist..
