What's for supper?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Country Families : One Thread

Tonight we are having a nice meal! We have been eating soups and such a lot and the natives are restless! So we are going to splurge on steak with onions, peppers and mushrooms, mashed potatoes, salad, biscuits, a slushy, blenderized fruit drink, and a chocolate cake for dessert!

Back to rice tomorrow!

I actually know the answer to this one! (sometimes I thank God that my in-laws live across the street, like when she cooks for me three nights in a row when I don't feel good!) After sick all week, tonight we are having chicken and cheese enchiladas, spanish rice and refried beans, lettuce salad and apple cobbler for dessert with iced tea or milk to drink.

Nothing special here, just chicken and rice cooked together. Can I come eat with one of you all above, sounds good!!!

Homemade pizza topped with crumbled freshly smoked rainbow trout caught yesterday and being smoked as I write this, to be eaten while watching the hockey game!! Have a whole smoker full of fish so will be canning tomorrow. Caught 5 rainbow and 5 Kokanee yeaterday plus some from the freezer to fill the large homemade smoker. Fresh 8" of snow last night so lots of snowshoeing and skiing today to build appetites. Tomas in B.C,

-- Tomas (bakerzee@hotmail.com), January 19, 2002.

Yes it all sounds good!.

Rose what coast are you near?

Tomas--that sounds yummy. I don't get smoked whitefish much, but when I do I could eat it three times a day until it's finished ( and do, because no one else in the family can touch it!)

Steak! I can't remember the last time I had that at home. I am never satisfied with the quality of beef I get in the supermarket compared to a restaurant kind.

Tomato soup and grilled cheese, mine-soy.

Ann, that is funny you said that! As we were eating, Cale said that this meal was much better than the one we paid $17 for a Cracker Barrel yesterday!

He and I had been out to eat twice in the year 2001 together. Once to West Texas Roadhouse and once to Cracker Barrel. And now to Cracker Barrel this year so far. While it is nice to go out, I am always a little disappointed in the meal for the money!

I usually am sitting there thinking of how cheaply I could make this at home. Like tonight my kids were even calcualting the cost of our meal, and if I took the whole family out for this type of meal it would be a fortune I'm sure!

But that said, those restaurant steaks are pretty good, probably more tender than the ones I make, for sure!

I love these threads, because it is so neat to see the variety of foods people are able to choose from!

-- Melissa (me@home.net), January 19, 2002.

Tacos, tacos sounded so good. Got hamburger cooked and DUH, no lettuce. Had tater tot casserole instead. Good but it sure wasn't tacos :)

-- Anna in Iowa (countryanna54@hotmail.com), January 19, 2002.

Tacos sound wonderful. Too bad we don't have the stuff for them. Nothing that we have really appeals to me, but I did a bread baking today, so maybe some sandwiches. We had our hot meal for lunch today--vegetable soup made with a little bit of this and that leftover with a can of yellow beans and a can of tomatoes (both homegrown) added in. The base was leftover roast beef with carrots, onions, and potatoes. A little leftover rice and peas, and a handful each of lentils and barley were added in.

-- Cathy N. (keeper8@attcanada.ca), January 19, 2002.

I swear I had Tacos planned before coming to this thread!! (Great Minds think alike!) Tacos, and buttered rice and corn. Green salad, Chocolate cake and whipped cream-we are all over the stomach flu, gonna eat something good!

-- Kelly in Ky (homearts2002@yahoo.com), January 19, 2002.

Chile and cornbread with cucumber and tomato salad, brownies for dessert. It's cold outside!!

-- Gina NM (inhock@pvtnetworks.net), January 19, 2002.


Spaghetti and meatballs with too much bread and butter with iced tea at a wonderful local Italian place. It was wonderful! We even got to watch a couple basketball games on TV there (this IS Indiana, you know). All of that for two in a great atmosphere with wonderful company for under $15 with tip. Better than all that is half my meal and probably 2/3 of hers went into containers and will be lunch tomorrow for each of us. Still not frugal enough? How about this? She picked up the tab for me helping her with her refinancing her property. ;o)

Glazed ham (mustard and honey), mashed potatoes, peas, applesauce..plain and simple.....but yummy.
