Into a bunch of new recipes again. It's a chicken dish with green beans and asparagus as the asparagus is in full swing production in my garden. serving with rice instead of polenta as I didn't have that on my grocery list.
Though dad will eat basically anything which is a good way to get rid of leftovers.

Odd dinner tonight for me. Mom had leftover chicken and veggies. I snagged a nice bunch of asaparagus the other day and steamed that tonight - and ate almost all of it myself. (Mom hates the stuff, so it's all mine.) I took out some cod fillets to cook with white wine, butter, lemon and dill, but haven't cooked it yet. Too full from the asparagus! I shouldn't have eaten so much of it, but it was so good!

Decided to cook the fish anyway.

Smelling the fish w/wine cooking...takes me back to the days when I was cooking at The Mill. The heady scent of evaporating white wine mixed with dill, butter and lemon...the heat of the big convection oven...the ding of the service bell at the counter as the wait staff brought in yet another order...the faint rattle of dishes and cutlery in the dishroom...laughing to myself as I cooked and listened to Lynn, the big, raw-boned head cook bellow the lyrics to "There's a Tear in my Beer" as she waltzed herself around the cavernous kitchen in that huge, historical building...I miss those days.

OBX shore dinner, shrimp, clams, boiled up with fresh corn and smoked kielbasa and baby red potatoes. And a portion of fresh tuna steak, seared to perfection. For dessert, home made strawberry-rhubarb pie. I did the pie and my nephew is doing the rest. :-)

sposed to meet my oldest son this am. hes going from chicago to fla to pick up his kids for the summer so i offered him a little fuel money to help out. we have had a strained relationship for years . to pursue his carrear he was willing to stick his kids in the gary IN school system. he considers himself educated and quite above the likes of beard clip and his druggie mother. im saying hes thick between the ears and doesnt " get " empathy, its all about him..
ill say of his new attempts to mend relationships with me the same thing i said of my youngest when phsyc asked me tue if youngest caused me stress . na , we'll slam heads as long as i live -- ill see to it . i say this because in his frenzy to collect up his kids and spend the summer with them i still havent heard of any arrangements for grandpa to have quality time with the grandkids . mending fences with me requires more than a sappy e mail , its going to require he get his head out of his a** and have consideration for people around him a bit -- or we'll end up with email blocks on each other again . i have my finger on the button already , lol ..

LOL captain you crack me up "you sure do love your beans". AND i never put vinegar in coleslaw? is that an american thing? i put mayonnise but then i think mayo has a bit of vinegar in it unless you make your own?

I have to say back in the seventies when i was a kid a californian woman came to town and opened an all american cafe WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW her coleslaw was to die for she died with that recipe, love or money could not get that "gal" to give us it. I think that she may have put a bit of cream in it but it was to die for i still can taste it! And it was my first hamburger experience they were awesome then that crappy Mcdo came along and ruined real food!!

Kazaaa - you've got me chuckling over here. I'd be in a flat-out laughing fit if Mom wasn't sleeping 5 feet away.

"Well its better than "shut the .....up im doing it already".

That SO describes how I'm feeling today.

Yeh susan here was my day........ got up got mum up made her breakfast got her dressed (or waited two hours for her to get dressed) brought her into town to pay off her loan in full at the Credit Place there was a huge line but mum was insistant that she go to the teller she spoke with last month? I tried to explain that you have to go to the one thats free but she started shouting and demanding she see this particular teller i was just mortified and was close to leaving her there in her madness and go home alone but i couldnt then she proceeded to buy not a plant but a HUGE jungle of a thing that i had to carry around to do the shopping then coffee and moaned that i had a cake (and told me im getting too fat) THEN home SWEET home to non-stop telling me to go and get the neighbours gardener to cut down her tree WHILE im cooking dinner then i went next door to shut her up and he wasnt home so she waited by the window for at least two hours and ordered me again to go and get him then i came in and went on this site to calm down? and shes at me for attention and something else she wants me to do!
A bad day? I think i will demand to see a shrink and beg him to lock me up because i must be "NUTS" to have such patience!

Dinner last night was chicken, baked potato and corn. I was up at 5 a.m. and spent most of the day mowing and gardening. All that sun, wind and fresh air knocked me out so I skipped dinner (I'll eat it tonight) and went to bed early. I've been living in the country for 18 months and now I know why country folk go to bed early.

Captain I've left a good portion of the back end to go wild for a future poultry house and run(s) so I'll have to mow less next year. Even then it takes about 3 hours with the tractor. Assand I can't face food for a few hours after I wake up, just coffee - there's no life before coffee!

Tonight's dinner is chicken breasts marinated in Lime Chipotle. Saute on low heat until done.

Every Friday at work, we have foodie Friday where something is cooked with products from our grocery store. Yesterday was this chicken in the lime chipotle marinade. The employees get to try it and we get a free bottle of the marinade....then we sample it out to customers. This is so good...little prep time involved.

Tonight is one of my freezer meal nights - lasagna that I made about a month ago and put in freezer containers. Add a little side salad and we have an easy, no fuss, no muss meal.
