Gary stays on board! I remember the first stew I made for him. With a far away dreamy look in his eyes, he declared that it was about the best gravy he had ever tasted. I think I have told that story, but can't remember where on AC. Buckle down and make yourself some food, cap. Your liver needs it.

Hey Emjo: what's in the cauliflower soup? That sounds good. I've tried making my own concoction. I bet I'd like yours. When's the wedding day? Are you going on a honeymoon? How did you meet G?

"Italian casserole" tonight...it's a concoction I more or less threw together one night years ago in an effort to use up some leftovers, and it turned into a family favorite: elbow macaroni, homemade marinara sauce, crumbled ground beef, crisp crumbled bacon, and mozzarella cheese. I layer it like a lasagna in a large casserole dish, top it with the last of the sauce, sprinkle more cheese and bacon bits on tip and garnish with a few slices of pepperoni. If I didn't have to cater to some persnickety eaters (hubs included) I'd probably add some mushrooms, black olives, and slices of bell pepper into the mix as well.

Captain - boni's got a great meal all planned for you...look a few posts back!

judda:
cauliflower soup - boil up a chunked up cauliflower with some onion and garlic, celery seed, turmeric till soft. I use not much water so I can incorporate it all into the soup. Toss it in a blender (I do it in two batches) and blend adding some (in my case non dairy) milk. Then I adjust the seasoning - salt and pepper, and if I want a cheesy flavour throw in some nutritional yeast. If you eat dairy, use grated cheese. It is hot enough to melt stuff. That's about it except a sprinkle of cheese or non dairy cheese stuff on top. Cayenne can be added and/or roasted red pepper flakes. You could boil other veggies with it too, for variations. If you add green beans and leave out the cheese it turns out much like pea soup. Let me know if you try it. G's mum gave me the idea.
Wedding date not set - need to move mother, repair the basement and a few other things first.
Yes, we will go on a honeymoon to somewhere warm.
I met G online - actually met a lot of guys on line and got two proposals before I even met the guys, and before G. Thankfully he was in the same city, otherwise it might have been a, well setup, good looking, 6'4" jet plane pilot in Massachusetts called... I forget. lol Nah, G is nicer.

boni - I did the same to a 1/2 pint of non dairy choc hazelnut ice "cream" the other day, though I left two spoonsful in the bottom of the carton. I am blaming my thyroid which is high and makes you want to eat everything that isn't nailed down. I did it once before many years ago with a carton of black cherry frozen yogurt. Mmm mmm good. That is not a failure - it is an accomplishment

yaya - it sounds good!

Baby Lamb chops, with buttered rice and Eggplant, lightly breaded and sauteed in olive oil and garlic. Out of ice cream (blushes) so I threw a cake in the oven. Otherwise, I might have eaten the can of frosting with a spoon!

Finally made for breakfast that bread with the egg in the middle hole. I bought the wrong cheese. The guy in youtube said it must be cheddar or any other kind would be a disaster. So, I made it without cheese. Used my new griddle that fave niece got for me for Mother's Day. Wow, I was able to make 3 breads at one time (2 for me, 1 for sis.)

It's 3pm and didn't eat lunch. I was hoping sis would at least cook the rice. Nope. So, I just finished making dinner for tonight. Spent like 15 minutes cooking the frozen 1/2 bag of Garlic Chicken (has pasta, brocoli, etc...). The small one burner kept shutting off. It only turns on HIGH position. So, I think I overcooked the pasta. =(

I also cooked a Lot of rice so that the leftovers will be made into fried rice for tomorrow's breakfast. I'm off from work tomorrow due to the holiday so I'm already thinking ahead for breakfast.

Well, that frozen bag of garlic chicken, pasta, broccoli was awful - to me. I love broccoli but it got overcooked. Pasta did not. I did put a lot of black pepper in it. I was already dreading cooking the other half since I didn't like the first half. Maybe the next time, I will take out the broccoli and cook that separately from the chicken/pasta. Unfortunately (or fortunately - since father hates eating real food -loves pies and banana bread), my dad really really liked it. Sooooo, since this is one of those Rare food that he likes, I'm going to have to buy more of it. =( I really need to jazz it up in the taste department.

FYI, that egg in the bread hole was delicious! I was so worried that the egg would make the bread soggy. It didn't. As usual, I forgot to sprinkle salt and pepper. Since it was too late, I did only the black pepper on top. This morning, I did the fried rice. Not as good as the egg/bread but much more filling. ... I saw something on Youtube about egg/bread/tomatoes. When I have time, I'd like to go back and read up on it. I like tomatoes, too.

Boni, I'd sure like to come to dinner at your house sometime!

I had bacon-cheese-mushroom quiche on my menu tonight. I threw in some leftover roasted veggies. And I thought, gee I have room for all of these veggies. When I finished and turned to open the oven I spotted a pound of cooked bacon draining on paper towels. Oh ... that's why I had extra room. Sigh. I managed to poke a lot into the pie anyway. It was good.

With it we had fruit salad: mango, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and dried cherries topped with Greek yogurt and honey.

I think we got in all of our veggie and fruit servings in the one meal!

A special Memorial Day Edition of "What's for Dinner?" - hey, that sounds like the old Hee Haw show - "Hey, Grandpa! What's for Supper?" LOL

Burgers on the grill, of course, with all the fixings - that's what's for dinner at our house!

Finally got those grilled steak tips! Marinated them all day and grilled 'em to perfection.....SO good! Also made potato salad to go with ithem, and some roasted red bell pepper and Vadalia onions drizzled with olive oil and a sprinkling of Italian seasoning. No dessert - too full...but there is some mint chocolate chip ice cream in the freezer that may be calling my name later.

It was hot here today so I made a cold anti-pasta platter. Rolled salami, ham, provolone, celery sticks, and artichoke hearts drizzled with olive oil. It was light so I'll be hitting the freezer soon myself. Vanilla fudge or chocolate marshmallow......or both!

Root canal today. I think I'm going straight to the ice cream tonight.
I met my Dentist at a care giving class. He has both Mom and dad in AL, and his MIL just passed.
I've told him several times about this site. When he finished with me I told him about one of our threads.
You know you are a care giver if root canal is a nice little break. He gets it.

I am making a new twist on braised short ribs with a sauce made from the broth with balsamic vinegar, New Mexico dried chiles, onions, garlic and rosemary.

The recipe can be found on food network...farmhouse rules by Nancy Fuller.
I wanted to make a large batch to freeze individual servings for myself for after work, but the butcher said they are having trouble getting them in right now.

I just made some delicious quinoa banana muffins with pecans. They will be my gluten free snack during the 8 hour film shoot tomorrow. I have given myself permission to eat out tomorrow at least once too. Feels so good to be working.
Mom is totally obsessed now with moving to a new senior building center. She is detaching from me, which is super!

I should have done spaghetti, rotisserie chicken, hot roast beef sandwiches, anything other than coconut crusted tilapia. The old folks of mine, if I serve something unusual, that I think would be good and they would like, welp, each time I decide I'll never do that again. It was quite good actually.
