Noodles w/some leftover turkey from Thanksgiving -- gotta' love vacuum sealers and freezers for helping to whip up a comfort food on a frigid night!

just got finished making a huge bowl of tuna salad. Tuna, sweet pickles, celery, onion, boiled eggs, & light miricle whip. I'll stir in some seedless grapes & walnuts on my serving when I get ready to eat. Grated apple is good in it too but I didn't have any.

Yummy, Gal!! I LOVE asparagus season, but I've got to wait until June. Now that we have the sealer, I'm putting up a TON of the green stalks! Asparagus all winter -- WOOHOO!! (I'll let you keep the pear tree.) :-)

Tonight was a pork roast, done with fresh thyme.
Oven-roasted sweet potato wedges, green beans. Also made a port wine sauce for the roast.

It was really good. I have some left-overs for a lunch...or something....

Last night I just fried up hamburger with onions and spices and had it with chile sauce and then we had spuds and mixed vegies.

Tonight we have friends coming over, I am cooking a chicken, stuffing, spuds, beans with mushroom soup, salad and apple pie for dessert.

Family comes today, so we've got a huge pan of lasagna in the oven, homemade garlic bread, a lovely spring salad, and bavarian cream filled chocolate cake for dessert.

Ribs slow cooked in the crockpot in a mix of hot sauce and water, then slathered with honey garlic sauce and broiled 'til sticky. Baked french fries and a variation of Dahli's warm salad (I'm doing green + red cabbage, carrots, green onions, and bean sprouts).

Sure Texasdeb, always happy to share!

To the drippings of your roast, (and I've done this with beef and pork) add about one cup of port wine. Simmer for about 10 or 15 minutes..until it is reduced by half. Add about one tablespoon of butter. Stir until well incorporated. It should now by a little thicker and very shiny. It's done!
It's definitely not thick like gravy, but it's got the flavour of your roast and the seasonings in it. It's really lovely spooned over your slice of roast.

Tonight I made pizza from scratch. I used a 6-grain bread mix from the bulk food store. It made a very tasty crust. Lots of flavour and some interesting crunchy bits.

Went to a friend's house yesterday and we had spaghetti and meatballs, and garlic bread. It was yummy, especially since I didn't have to cook!

The thickest potato soup I could make (w/carrots and ham) for our cold, "winter storm warning" night. :-)

I'm not cooking dinner tonight. If I eat at all, it'll be left over Tuna salad from Sat. - not sounding too good - or a lean cousine out of the freezer. I think I'll stir up a big dbl batch of walnut brownies to take to the office tomorrow though. Frank is out of town on bus. all wk so I can cook/eat whatever I want (he's the one on the serious diet).

A bit under the weather with a head cold, so just some scrambled eggs with bacon bits thrown in and lots of orange juice.

Heh, it was supposed to be chicken n dumplings but around 4 I noticed my chicken wasn't even close to defrosted so I checked out the cabinets and decided we'd have tuna helper tonight and chicken n dumplings tomorrow.

So, 7 tonight I'm sitting here brushing a nasty tangle out of Kota's hair, my nieces are still here (they were supposed to leave at 5,) and Darren starts to fuss cuz dinner ain't done. I told him if he went and started it, I'd finish it. He went in and asked what he was supposed to make and I told him the tuna and tuna helper were sitting next to the stove.

Few minutes later, he snarks from the kitchen that there's no milk and he can't make tuna helper. I had to take a couple deep breaths, lol. Keep in mind I'm lactose intolerant, I don't drink milk and usually don't cook with milk. Unless its grocery shopping day, I couldn't tell you how much we have in the fridge and depend on Darren and the kids to tell me when we're getting close to being empty.

I rather politely told him, "I'm so sorry! I must not have heard you when you told me we were running low on milk. Or did you write it on the list on the fridge and I missed it?" Tee hee, he didn't say another word til he poked his head out of the kitchen a few minutes later and asked if tuna sandwiches and cup a noodle soup sounded ok.

LOL, when I was clearing the table off he went in and wrote "MILK" on my list.
