You might be surprised how tasty it is if it was prepared right. The worst thing people do is overcook it so hopefully it won't be dry.

The bf makes good venison chili, so hopefully he'll get it right with this too. He has a lot of buddies who hunt so we get moose, elk, and venison pretty frequently.

I made a chicken/potato/scallion one skillet thingy with teriyaki sauce. It smells good.

The venison meat loaf was pretty good! I may have the leftovers this eve but my tummy is bothering me a bit from some pizza I had for lunch.
I bought the ingredients for the crock-pot chicken paprikash I will be attempting tomorrow. Key word--attempting! It involves browning the chicken beforehand, something I've never actually done before. :o

I've been trying to figure out the ast 20 years what an "individual can of ____" is at a coffee shop. Do they open a can of tuna or sardines, and add it to a salad? I've never figured out what that meant.

I couldn't do just liquids yesterday - I don't know why not, but I had a yogurt and a small portion of the tuna casserole and that was OK.

Yes, the bf's grandmother came from Hungary and the way his mom makes it is from her recipe. I called her to ask a Q about the sauce actually.
The sauce, after I took the chicken out, was more of a dark reddish/orange color due to the paprika. I thickened it with sour cream which made it sort of browner though.

so he's good for some things. :D seems that everyone's recipe varies a bit and it can be thinner and reddish/orange or thicker and more brown...both taste yummy - I like it a little more brown -- maybe the sour cream is the difference? sounds like yours came out great!

Spaetzle are delicious little dumplings. My mom (who's Swiss) always made them and they are one of my favorite things. Apparently they are local cuisine in a lot of places over there--just pronounced differently and with some different touches.

I finally figured out how to make that sole thingy. It came out pretty well. I used the "turbo" setting on the toaster oven, covered with one of those oval bake pan covers. It came out nice and soft after about an hour on high.
So far, sammich, salad and some trail mix. Too predictable.
We were gonna go to the Chinese buffet last night for dinner, while Shannen was in the city but we decided to patronize the local pizza/restaurant. It was so good. I shared Nick's fried calamari and hub's mussels, and then I had pasta with portobellos, asparagus, cherry tomatoes in a garlic wine sauce. I barely made a dent in it, so it's lunch today. :)

I ordered and picked up from a Japanese teppanyaki place tonight. I couldn't believe they had such a cool place in this small city. They have this cool little bridge that goes over a little pond in the front of the restaurant (inside). There's an open dining area for people who just want to order from the kitchen. Then they have separate rooms and chefs for each group of people who want the teppanyaki experience. Hopefully Aaron and I will go there on Sunday.

I have a 3lb. boneless roast for the crockpot for Saturday. Has anyone ever used whole berry cranberry sauce for the famous onion soup roast recipe? It's all I have and won't chance it if anyone can confirm why NOT to do it!

Hmm..I don't know if it'll liquefy like the jelly kind, but who knows. Little bits of cranberry probably wouldn't hurt matters.

Wouldn't that be a bagel dob? ;)
What kind of seasonings, Danielle? Too much salt is always bad, but was it too much pepper?
Let's see if I can remember everything: paprika, poultry seasoning, garlic, garlic powder, oregano, dried basil, w/chickn broth and a little oil whisked together (that is per the recipe). For the paprika I did 3 parts sweet to 1 part hot. Maybe the hot did it--or the poultry seasoning which I had to buy special.

If berries don't liquefy after 7 hours in a crockpot, cooking them ahead of time isn't likely to help! I just don't want the "covers" of the berries to be wandering around my meal!

Well, that's what I mean. You can cook it down and then strain it to get rid of the skins. Or you can go the grocery store and buy $1.29 can of cranberry sauce. I suspect I know what your decision will be.
I can't remember why I didn't like it - maybe it was too sweet? My wife wasn't a fan, either.

Hmmm - I like the cranberry sauce pot roast, but I like the gingered beef roast more. But I'll make either any day (even though I'm not supposed to eat the c'berry sauce one due to sugar/high fructose corn syrup). In any case, tonight we're not having either kind of pot roast - it's a vegetable rice crockpot casserole night for Lent.
They're having a sale (only $3.88 for a 5 gallon container) at the local grocery store on cow phlegm. Any good recipes?

It's not much of recipe. Years ago I had it at a restaurant and I was raving about it and she said "I can make this" - and she did.
She buys lump (non previously frozen) crabmeat and scallops from the supermarket, chops it up a bit and mixes it with diced garlic (precooks it to soften it), breadcrumbs, mayo, and old bay seasoning. Rolls a piece of sole around it, Adds salt, pepper, olive oil, a little white wine and wraps it in foil and places it in a 450 oven for 20 minutes or so. I think that's pretty much it.
She usually makes extra and puts them in the freezer. And it seems like those ones are even better after being defrosted.

Irish? :-shrug-: It's the way this Dutchman does it. :D It's really good and it's quick. Think otherwise you may have to simmer the brisket a good couple of hours and a half at least. We cook the corned beef, cabbage, small red potatoes and carrots all together.
We have three pressure cookers to choose from. It's not a good idea to overstuff a pressure cooker. Sometimes we'll halve a good-sized corned beef. Put it in the bottom of the cooker ... usually on top of the little round tray the pressure cooker comes with. Don't forget to add half of the seasoning packet! Also halve the cabbage and then wedge the half down into fours. Put a nice sum of the red potatoes in and 1/2 - 1 lb of baby carrots and at least four cups of water. Close the cooker and heat at about medium-high until pressure builds up and then turn down to medium or 5 ... and cook for 45 minutes of jiggling time. Then cool the cooker down under running water until pressure is released. Is still gonna be really hot and could burn your mouth if you eat right away. Watch out!

Either case, I was just pulling your leg. I've just never eaten an English muffin as anything but a substitute for toast. Roast beef, I love, but for deli, it spoils too quickly, MUST be frozen if stored (unless someone likes green "mystery meat"). :eek:
I presume you got yours raw from the supermarket and cooked or baked it yourself.
What kinds of mushrooms? The regular white ones, portabellos, or something else? I would've used my grill pan and done this with a little EVOO (I do the same thing f/yellow squash or eggplant). I've never nuked 'shrooms or onions before, but wot-evah, my dear. :P

You're a better man than I am, muggsy, that's all I can say. I draw the line at giving up drinking.
Oh, and Brad, the mushrooms and onions were leftovers from the other day - they were cooked in some olive oil the other night when I made the roast beef and then I just reheated them.
I gave up NYYFans one year for Lent. After doing that, this is easy.

One year? I remember from Lent to Easter but when were you gone for a year?

Once I gave up NYYFans for Lent. I should have written that because it's more easily understood.

pâté en croûte de sheperds
Last night I had a bizarro dinner of (4) stuffed grape leaves, the leftover mixture of feta/sliced grape tomatoes/sliced green olives/onion mixture that we had with the falafel earlier in the week and a bag of potato chips.
Tonight I'm going to make meatloaf in the muffin tins and mashed potato so I'll have some leftover potatoes to make boxty for St. Patrick's Day.

Is that Shepherds pie by any chance?
I'm making pasta tonight. I had steaks ready to grill, but hub didn't feel like grilling so late, so I'm marinating it for tomorrow.

I wouldn't mind some frozen pizza right now. I've got a pizza cooker thingy I'd bought on eBay. It's great with reheating a fresh one, or one that was either bought frozen from the supermarket, or one I'd bought fresh from a pizzeria, but froze.
I'll never give up drinking. One MD I know of put me on a no-booze diet, since she didn't like my cholesterol level and gave me some prescription stuff. So here I am at a bar ordering soda, but tipping the bartender extra. All of my dudes and the gals were looking at me like I had two heads on. After 2 weeks, I gave it up and they bought me a few rounds. :gulp::D
I'm glad you'd cooked the stuff the right way earlier. I was about to say, "That doesn't sound like Ally to just toss something into the nuker like that." Wot-evah.
In yer distinguished honor, I bought some roast beef cold cuts, and promptly stuck it into the freezer. If not, it'll be a funny color in no time. Now all I need are some more 'shrooms and onions. :P

Tonight, it's chicken breasts on the grill with salad and tomorrow night is corned beef and cabbage. I'm also going to make an Irish soda bread from the recipe Trish has posted. It's the best I've ever made. :)

I was at the supermarket today and had to run all the way across the store because I forgot to go to the deli dept for Shannen's turkey. It was then I remembered I had forgotten buttermilk for the soda bread. Had to run all the way over to the other side of the store again. :lol:

I don't know about kids not liking raisins, but I don't like raisins, and we know I often get confused with Karen, Trish, and Vicki. :lol:

Yay! Guys who make soda bread rock!! :lol:
I love it too, I've already bought 2 loaves and have everything but the buttermilk to make my own (gotta stop at the store on the way home tonight.)
Mr. LDG is making the corned beef dinner tonight so the kids and my father-in-law can join us. Tomorrow night we go to out to whoop it up and have someone else cook the same meal!

It's soooo good toasted with butter and a cup of tea.

omg this soda bread. I think i could live on it. Of course the guy that made it doesn't eat meat or anything with loads of sugar etc. I brought it home and slathered butter all over it after taking it out of the microwave so it's a little warm. :drool:
I made a salmon pinwheel stuffed with spinach and feta with some mashed potatoes.

I was planning on making mine tomorrow too, but I won't be able to start it until later because it's my bowling day.
I may be motivated to make one tonight myself. :lol:
