chicken pot pie
I've been accumulating ingredients for a batch of chili. On different days I cooked three varieties of dried beans from a regional grower, tomatoes and tomato puree from the garden, some diced locally sourced and roasted green chilis and a few other standard ingredients. The rather loose recipe fills a four quart soup pan and most of it gets frozen. But tonight was freshly made chili and cornbread.
Bbq chicken wings drenched in Frank’s wing sauce. I wanted to change the menu after the drama with the bird tonight but SO wasn’t home yet when it happened and had been looking forward to dinner so they are now about half cooked…
I had Authentico Noo-Yawk Style Italian sketty, made from scratch with REAL ramen noodles and imported old-world ragu sauce! A recipe brought over from Sissyly, by my great-great-great Grandmama! Magnifico! Yup. You would pay AT LEAST $25 for a plate of this at youyr favoriute bistro, with reservations made months in advance! Then, stand in line for two hours, waiting to be seated! I was properly attired for the meal, wearing paint-splattered clothing. Yup.
I am so citified that yesterday when I saw this magazine on a rack in Hermann, I stopped and stared. It seems like a joke. It seems like a parody. But it is not, it is a real magazine.

This just goes to show how divorced I am from people who live closer to the land than I do. I now live in a place where youth have their own guns and know how to use them, and who are featured in the newspaper every year with their dead deer draped across their laps.
I wonder if Jordan Peterson has a subscription...:D
Wow! I decided to make a naan pozza today that mimicked one I had Saturday for my birthday called ‘the inferno’. One of the leftover jalapeños from a month ago's farm shipment was more than enough. These guys keep getting hotter as they age!
Today is a slow roasted chicken. I found a web site where they recommended cooking a 4.5 lb chicken for 3 hours at 300. Supposedly it will practically fall off the bone and the skin will have melted onto the meat. Two hours of cooking and it is around 130 degrees and smells fantastic. Interestingly they also recommended putting onion slices on the pan under it so that you don’t need a rack and then you can eat the crispy onions with it.
A stew or soup made of farro, navy beans, tomatoes, onions, celery, carrots, and kale. Prepared yesterday, but will probably be part of a main meal a couple of days this week.
I keep wishing to eat less meat but hard with DH's carnivore ways. At least I have him trained to do meatless Monday. He is making Thai coconut soup with Gulf shrimp tonight. I will make an Asian cucumber salad as a side since the soup is so spicy.
DH made a chicken soup and we bought fresh tortellini a few days ago, so we're going to add that to it for a more full-bodied soup.
Last night we did chicken pot pie with some of the leftover roast chicken from Saturday. (and used broth made from that leftover chicken) Today I'm about to start making chicken enchiladas with more of the leftover chicken. There will still be some left after that so I need to figure out something else for tomorrow.

DH was just put on a low-dose of BP meds, which seems to have really gotten his attention and he appears a bit more receptive to a healthier diet and weight loss. So last night's dinner was baked haddock with spinach and carrots.
Good luck Rosa with the new meal plans. We had company so I made grilled cheese in the oven! Had never done it before and it worked well. Tomato soup, too-but on the stove top rather than the microwave. Making things for 5 needs bigger pans than cooking for 2 !!!
Gonna throw a quick chicken stew in the cp.
Okay---still got summa them frozen taters left plus that big bottle o' ketchup. That will work for brunch n dinner. But yeah---I went to Bare Walls Mart---and luck prevailed; they had 7 cans o' king-sized catt food, and also a 35# of yummy dry catt foood & a 50# of yummy dry dogg food. That left me with just enough funds to splurge, and buy a coupla cans o' REAL spaggetti-O's, steada the great value brand o's. I must now check n see what my traveling f-book friends are havingf, in some faraway rest-o-rant.
Oh man. Spaghetti-o’s. I haven’t had those since I was a kid. Reminds me of the time I went to one of the oldest McDonald’s in the LA area a few years ago. I hadn’t eaten red meat in decades but decided to have one of the cheeseburgers that I used to eat on the daily when I was In High school. Holy cow (pun kind of intended). That little burger almost sent me running for the toilet to have a reversal of fortune as they say at the Coney Island hotdog eating contest.
I never liked Spaghetti-o's, even as a kid, but I'm not a total snob because I am quite fond of Ramen Noodle Soup.
We had crabmeat salad sandwiches on fresh Scali bread from the bakery. I really like those!
Scallop potato & ham casserole type dish in the cp.
Well, see---McDees serves Gray Meat, not red meat. Many people develop hamburger throat, shortly thereafter. But yeah---I noticed the lines at the drive-through are longer'n ever, anyway. But yeah--McDonalds is inconvenient & expensive, for what you get.Quote:

Put in you favorite grease(margarine, butter, or cheese), sparingly. Very good that way. Hope that helps you some.Quote:

Made an easy pasta, ham and veggie combo for dinner tonight. Also have sourdough pizza crust for pizzas tomorrow and then tacos for Wednesday. I feel like I have freed myself up to concentrate on Thanksgiving. LOL
Homemade pizza.
Thanksgiving - a plate of sides. People always ask what I eat for Thanksgiving being vegetarian - like everyone eats a plate of Turkey, so I miss out! I have more than plenty to eat from just the sides! Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing (cooked out of the bird), Broccoli casserole, Funeral Potatoes (aka cheesy potatoes), Green salad, rolls, etc. No pumpkin pie - the spices for some reason gives me terrible heart burn. I will not go hungry!
Thanksgiving dinner here as well - including turkey. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I am having a bowl of Peas Porridge---made fresh & not 9 days old. It is scrumptious, yummy & deliish. Ahh-summ & a-may-zeen, too. Yup. Some day, when I feel kind & generous, I will post the recipe for you kids. But yeah---none o' this drive-eat-turkey bird--with a bunch o' relatives, who want to sit-n-watch tee-vee football. Nope. Hope that helps you some. Thankk Mee.
Got a bunch of leftover chicken, so have a chicken soup in the cp - will add some pastina when it is closer to dinner.
