The sun is shining but it's only 57 degrees We joined two other local churches and had services in our park. There was a potluck afterwards that I baked bars for yesterday. The service was wonderful but I had had enough outside so I came home instead of staying to eat. I took a couple pork chops out of the freezer. I'll brown those in olive oil put them in a casserole dish, brown chopped onion, garlic and rice in the drippings, add a can of chicken stock and some diced carrots, Pour over the pork chops, cover and bake in the oven until the rice is done. I've got some leftover roasted broccoli I'll eat with it and I've got one banana bar with cream cheese frosting for dessert What are you cooking today?

erm. It's going to be rice and beans here for days to come. If I get tired of that, there's also the canned chicken and cheese sandwich spread I threw together yesterday because the canned chicken thread made me do it. LOL

akathy Ummmm...FIFTY SEVEN? Holy cow. That is like the dead of winter for us! (and you would have to invert the numbers and add about 15 degrees to get to where we are today.) As for dinner, I am not completely sure yet. Rice and beans I think here too-but of the white rice and black-eyed pea variety. The boy won't be here for dinner tonight and I won't have to listen to him complain about how much he doesn't like black eyed peas.

It is only supposed to be 88° today (high of 95° yesterday!!!) so DH will bbq chicken breasts and the sides will be sauteed green beans and chilled cranberry sauce. May also bbq a few potatoes too. Not sure yet.

Yesterday's rain has continued most of the day today, and it is COLD!! We were supposed to grill sausages, but instead we will have paninis. Grilled sausages tomorrow after DS' baseball team hopefully wins their playoff game that was rained out yesterday.

Probably pizza. DH and I spent the day working in the yard, so neither one of us has the energy to cook. (I also haven't been to the grocery store this week, so it's pretty slim pickin's around here.)
I think we'll relax tonight, order a pizza, and work on a grocery list that I can shop from tomorrow.

I am roasting one of those turkey breast roll things. Anyone know if you can make gravy from them? Mashed potatoes, cranberries and some vegetable.

Our neighborhood is having a cookout on the cul-de-sac this evening. Bring whatever you want to throw on the grill and a dish to share. I have "Best of the West" baked beans in the oven now. It's one of those four-five varieties of beans plus a whole bunch of other stuff casseroles.
We only have 19 homes in our little neighborhood and we try to get togther a few times a year for fellowhip and an informal neighborhood meeting. At the meeting in the fall, I agreed to chair a committee to hire a landscaper for our front entrance. Previously all the families took turns, but many are aging now or widows and/or have landscapers in their own yards as do we. So long story short, we hired a guy and and it's costing each household $100 per year. Tonight, I'll hear everyone's feedback. The ones I've already talked to are happy, but... I'm prepared for "that one" that always has a problem. Lol.

I am roasting one of those turkey breast roll things. Anyone know if you can make gravy from them? Mashed potatoes, cranberries and some vegetable. Those don't really give enough drippings to make gravy. Turkey dinner sounds really, really good though!

That's a warm day around here
We're having chicken, mashed potatoes, roasted veggies. Cupcakes for dessert.

It's Dh's Bday so he's getting steak and oven grilled potatoes, doing the steaks in cast iron skillet. We've discovered this way of doing them this year and really like it and it's too hot today. We finally hit 107 today! At least it's finally warm enough to swim!

I cooked a pot roast with carrots, green beans and red potatoes. It was really good...and probably the last time we'll have it until fall.
