aKathy's What's for Dinner? 3/26

We’re having grilled pork chops, which I will brine, with roasted asparagus and mashed potatoes. 

I have rarely met a meal I didn’t like...I think my favorite is dinner because it’s usually the only one I don’t eat alone.

Hi ladies. I'm taking a lunch break now. I like lunch too scrapmaven. Sandwiches, salads, and soups. What I like is that I get a chance to pause at lunch time. Just kind of a reset

My bread dough has doubled in size. I'm going to bake it this afternoon. It's my first attempt at bread. I used this recipe: damndelicious.net/2017/12/05/no-knead-rosemary-bread/

I am making chicken salads to go with my bread.

We have some leftover pesto pasta so I'm thinking roast some chicken bites, throw on some broccoli, make a salad and call it dinner.

My favorite meal would be dinner... usually because it's something satisfying and not just a "whatever" for lunch. And scrapmaven? Girl, just throw in a side pickle whenever you want... breakfast, lunch, dinner... can't go wrong with a pickle!

Happy Thursday everyone! I'm trying to do a couple of household chores each day since we are in week 2 of no housekeeper. Today I'm trying to get my sewing mojo back as it has been gone all week. I've mended the binding on a potholder that's been sitting here for at least 2 months. I figure I can only go up from here! About to tackle some hexagon blocks from a class I took a few years ago. Problem is, I've forgotten how to do that butterfly seam.

We ended up grilling some tenderloin tips and a sausage last night, as well as a couple of baked potatoes. Dinner will be rechauffe with a tossed salad on the side.

Favorite meal? Dessert! I really don't have a preference, although breakfast would be #3 on the list.

We're having tri-tip steaks on the grill for dinner with green beans and a fruit salad. I'll grill enough for lunch tomorrow too.

Today I'm going to tackle cleaning our Plantation Shutters. It's something I put off long enough.

I'm dying laughing at that meme cadoodlebug

(( hugs )) to anyone who needs some!!


ooooh, scrapmaven......I LOVE pickles, too! With a reuben, it HAS to be a kosher dill, and with
a grilled cheese, a sweet baby gherkin.



Fave meal I guess would be dinner. ... Probably because dinner for me/ us is usually associated with holidays, fun times, social gatherings, restaurants, etc. .


Soooo, I made strawberry shortcake in the wee hours,  (DH and Dad will be happy when they see it tonight).  I followed her recipe to THE LETTER, and the biscuits  still have verrry little flavor and are NOT fluffy! (don't handle the dough very much, don't twist the cutter, don't do this, don't do that, yadda yadda)----yet, I've neverrrr been able to get a good biscuit from scratch. I just read a thread here (on 2 peas) the other day about tips for good biscuits, and followed those, too. I wonder why they are so hard
to attain?

Oh well, it was still fun to make 'em! It was SOMETHING FUN TO DO !!!! It was very nice just to be in my kitchen making something---doing something NORMAL instead of constantly reading about/ thinking about this scary time. I sometimes forget how happy it makes me to cook and bake.


Plus, the strawberries and fresh whipped cream will cancel all of that out! (We haven't had it yet,
annnnd, I'm still shocked that I didn't sample any last night....that is so NOT like me! LOL!) I just had a few tiny bites of the biscuits, I was anticipating extreme yumminess, buttttt.......








  

Not sure yet on dinner tonight, will update later.

My favorite meal is brunch; best of breakfast and lunch lol, plus dessert!

Ended up with burgers, corn on the cob, macaroni salad; and French fries.

I *think* some of this is because when a store gets a shipment of TP, someone blasts it on NextDoor and everyone flocks to said store. Of course, by the time they arrive, it is usually gone. Two weeks ago, when we were in the Bay Area, I think I told the story of WM getting in a few big boxes of TP and the arrival had people running through the store like they were on Super Market Sweep or whatever that game show was. I wasn't in dire need so I stayed out of the rush for fear of being trampled. In hindsight, I was right there, I should have grabbed a pack.

There’s another page with our meat and fish hoards. Note the yellow. He wasted colored ink on this. I am going to scrap this somehow.

We’ll eat something with ground meat. I’m looking for an IP recipe.

Thanks for the thread. We are puzzle people, too, if dd is home. Maybe I’ll get one out so DH can make it. It’ll save our ink cartridges. 🤪

Breakfast. I look forward to it every day. Real oatmeal, frozen blueberries, flax and hemp, walnuts, plant-based milk. And a huge cup of Folger’s Dark Silk coffee. 👍🏻

Hello tribe. The last 48 hours have been crazy here. DD is in 8th grade, and of course school is closed (I’m Happy to say that remote schooling works fine) so the kids in her class communicate via Snapchat. And two days ago one of the kids shared ch!ld p0rnography in the group. Fortunately DD told me, even though that telling on her classmate wasn’t easy for her, so I took her phone and told the kids that this isn’t okay. At all. I called the police first, and they asked me to secure the evidence, which I did, so when the little sh!t who shared it deleted it, it was too late. The movies are now in the hands of the police, and they will take it from here. I was a bit afraid that some of the other kids would call DD a snitch, but I let her tell them that I’m a super strict mom who demands her passwords regularly to check her social media accounts. (I do check them, but mostly when she shows me what goes on there.).

Still made dinner: chicken tikka masala, although I admit opening a jar.
