    Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

    French onion soup tonight, served in homemade bread bowls. Lots of ooey gooey cheese. Some great meals being cooked here, as usual, even if it is a bit tough to track down this thread. Merry Christmas to all. And a Happy New Year.

    Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

    It was a chilly day here ... good for cleaning the house ... but since I was NOT in the mood to clean ... I cooked. (OK ... I did manage a load of laundry, cleaned the chicks and weeded the veg garden). Lasagna Bolognese tonight. Homemade spinach noodles, homemade Bolognese sauce, a homemade...

    Cold weather blew in, with hard frost and freeze warnings for tonight. So to help fight the chill, we had chicken and dumplings for dinner. Good thing the tomato and pepper plants are still inside at night! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

    Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

    Last night we had Eggs Benedict (on homemade English muffins) and steamed asparagus from the garden, all covered in homemade Hollandaise sauce. Can you tell I needed to use some eggs? Tonight was just grilled sweet Italian sausage, pepper and onion sandwiches on store bought hoagie rolls. I...

    The Kitty is doing much better today, she can move carefully on her own without crying in pain, but still can't do steps. Hopefully a couple more days of rest will have her good as new! Tonight was a chicken etouffee, rice and a mixed green salad.

    BB - what a wonderful experience for your kids! I've always loved Disney for encouraging young imaginations and talents. An emergency trip to the vet with our young cat (she tore the ligament holding her kneecap in place) has left me "nursing" (and carrying her) most of the day. We'll know in a...

    Steak pizza .... leftover steak sliced paper thin, caramelized onions, steak sauce (homemade) and a blend of cheeses. Baked in the house oven, not the "beast" in the backyard.

    Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

    LOL BB - We had steak and portabellas last night while DD was home ... it's finals week so she had to go back to college last night after she cooked dinner for us (she planned the menu and did the shopping). My two guys (DH and DS) spent the weekend doing as many of my chores (coop cleaning...

    I fired the grill (between rain showers) for steaks, portabella mushrooms, rosemary, garlic and olive oil planked potatoes, tossed greens with aged balsamic and grilled sourdough from yesterday's bake. Zoo - that cake sounds awesome! Happy B'day to your DS.

    Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

    Hummm ... I must not have been sent the memo to either stop cooking or stop posting. Tonight was a quick mussaman curry with fragrant rice and a cucumber salad.

    Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

    Wow! It's nice to see such a renewed interest in wood fired ovens. I should check the Jamie Oliver site ... if I find time. Our "beast" will stay quiet until Friday when I fire it up for pizza and focacci (My DD will be home along with DS and all their friends, as well as ours!). I want to...

    Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

    Thanks Zookeeper. Congrats on your "catering" success and those new appliances! I'd be excited too! Last night was fun. Some interesting combinations and flavors (www.meltbarandgrilled.com in case anyone is interested). DH had the Parmageddon and I opted for the Purple Parma. Tonight was a...

    DH is taking me out for my birthday tonight to the new "trendy" hot spot specializing in grilled cheese sandwiches for grown ups. It should be fun!
