Dinner tonight is going to be zza-zzang-myun and naeng-myun (black noodles and cold noodles) from the Korean grocery store... I am sick of cooking.... Mom left to go home today, and I am flat worn out.  These noodles are like one step up from ramen... they're refrigerated and you cook them for about 3-4 minutes is all... throw in a boiled egg and the sauce packet and good to go.  I figure the girls will get the cold noodles as they like them better than the oniony black noodles.

Guess we're the only ones eating these days.   ;)  It's stew tonight.  Went to the grocery store so I have enough stuff to make it now...  Last night the girls asked me to make homemade biscuits for them for supper, so I did, instead of feeding them the noodles.  DH and I ate the noodles.  Those kids would live on buttermilk biscuits and cornbread if I'd let them.

I eat quite often, but people get tired of hearing what flavor of ice cream I am having. 

I forgot to eat the meatloaf Sassy made for me the other day, so we had it smothered in Ketchup - fresh stewed tomatoes and crackers and snacks.

I had Orange sherbet with store bought German chocolate cake. :)

Tonight we're having home-made veggie-beef soup and cornbread...I make the soup and she makes the cornbread   :)

Perfect match.

That sounds about like what we're having tonight... good weather for it.  Brrr.... I hate the cold.

Last night: crock pot stew; beef, venison, carrots, onions, potatoes, celery, green peas, green beans.

Tonight: not so much of a clue yet.  ???
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

Sassy

Haven't thought about what to fix yet tonight - I'd be satisfied with soups or beans every night - just cook a big pot on the wood stove - maybe that's what I'll do...  :)

OK - Sassy has made an executive decision influenced by this thread.  She has started soup on the stove and sent me to the garden for vegetables.  I have a giant Swede thanks to our friends in Australia (influenced me to plant them) and some carrots.  She has a dried bean mixture she has started in the pot, and we are doing it on the wood heater.

Yep, a lot of 'em are well over 6 foot. Any other foreigners living around there?

Sassy

The dried beans have pinto, kidney, black, lima, white, peas, barley, lentils - looked like a good combination - I know, barley isn't a bean  ::)  I put in a few tomatoes & peppers from the garden, rutabaga, carrots, swiss chard, onions, & garlic - hodge-podge of veggies.  Also put in some ham - salt & pepper...  should be pretty good & healthy.  Of course, Glenn wants me to put dumplings on top  ::)

Did you know that rutabagas (swedes) are a cross between a turnip & cabbage?  I never knew that, they are in the cruciferous family - so very healthy for you.  They taste wonderful raw... supposed to be great in salads either chopped or grated.

Sounds good Sassy. Re the Swede, I didn't know that about them

Also, re the Swede; I was confused  ;D ;D ;D  Never mind!

Sorry Don, you can't get off that easy.   [scared]

I'll just have to bide my time, until you make that fatal slipup. [crz]

The giant rutabaga -- I put it in the soup --- not my pants.

Sorry about that -- had to do it to myself.

Tomorrow's dinner. No cooking for us.  :) Tomorrow night is the dance club's Christmas dinner!!  n* Or as the PC bosses there call it, the Holiday Party...  d* anyhow I'm going to the Christmas Party  ;D , I'll wish every Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays.  :P  And I'll eat my fill of the great catered foods and then come home after a while. Then I won't eat for a day.

StinkerBell

Red Beans (been in the crockpot all day cooking with some taco seasoning). Rice and cabbage.

My kids love this simple cheap healthy meal!





I wonder though if it is because when I make this dinner I also make a double chocolate cake for afterwards....Hmmmm

Homegrown Tomatoes

My grandpa always liked beans with chocolate cake, too... I never did get the connection between the two, but that's always what we had.  He even used to eat them out of the same bowl because he said they were going to the same place anyway.

Redoverfarm

Hey this was Dons big night out. Wonder what he had for dinner? 


glenn kangiser

Must be having a good time - he's not here yet.:)

We had leftover soup from yesterday - always even better the second day.  I have to highly recommend Swedes, or Rutabagas if you must.  Really good in the soup or raw.  Sassy made dumplings for it too.

My neighbor raises rutabagas.  I like the smaller ones.  Some he has raised are in excess of 8-10".  Have to use my sawzall just to cut.  Too big for me. But I could eat that much at one sitting.  But pay for it the next day. [toilet]

Redoverfarm

Well mine was left overs. I like just as well. Strogonoff, porkchop, salad. I was like the movie tonight " Home Alone". Wife went X-mas shopping, boy went bear hunting, daughter went with grandma shopping. Got to love her but bought a 5YOA a white coat.  That will look good after she goes and helps dad at the cabin.

glenn kangiser

Interesting thing about the Rutabaga-- It measured 5 1/4 inches through the center and was totally solid all the way through - not pithy or tough.  Slightly sweet - barely a little starchy with a flavor cross between a turnip, a potato and cabbage.  Really good.

I prefer sitting but making Sassy pay.
