Shalom back at you Benny! :yiipchick Guess I need to post some pics of food so you don't feel all alone...and hungry...har har har! Let's see what I clicked pics of...

​

Beef stew in the crock pot​

​

Steak and Lasagne​

Took out some veg, peeled some shrimps and made.... e

​

Honey garlic shrimp and veg

​

And a sorta kinda Greek salad only I forgot I needed to go restock and get some Feta... :/

​

Later bought Feta and made proper Greek salad to go with spaghetti.

​

Mar 14, 2017 - proper Greek salad and spaghetti ​

Mar 11, Rick came home with a craving...for fish and chips...I thought, way too much grease for me....so I had chips but also Perogies with sour cream.

​

Frozen cod defrosting, potatoes peeled for Rick to make into chips,​

Bacon and onions to be fried with perogies and batter for fish​

Batter for fish and shrimp, easy! 1 cup of flour 1/2 cup starch (corn or tapioca) 1 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda few drops yellow food colouring (optional but looks nicer) 1 to 1.25 cups cold water Stir dry ingredients to mix, add cold water, stir up...should be consistency of pancake batter. Coat fish or shrimp and deep fry in oil and drain. Keep warm in oven till all the rest of your foody items are ready to serve.

​

I cheat...frozen store bought Perogies, boil water, pop them in to cook, when floating to top, done so drain them...​

​

Diced bacon and onions, fry a bit to get oil going,​

add boiled perogies and watch they get turned so they don't stick or burn to pan ​

​

Cubed cod and batter -- If I had more warning, would have thawed the cod more...​

​

Battered cod ​

​

Considering I did not know what to make for dinner...done good! ​

​

Mar 11, 2017 - Breaded cod fish, chips and Perogies​

And because it is March 17 and all....

​

My shirt for today, eh!​

Beware...it's an invasion...watch for the plunder and pillaging! Beware!

​

My uniform for this morning...and yes, the earrings and necklace GLOW in the dark...LED!​

​

Part of my heritage in a hat...my Father is a Viking so it was appropriate! LOL ​

Scare people...yuppers, that be moi! ​

[COLOR=008000]Happy St. Patrick's Day, eh! [/COLOR]​

Not Irish that I know of... ​

​

Treats the kids got this morning​

Much joy, happiness and [COLOR=008000]GREENNESS[/COLOR] on the cruel bus this morning!​

Yes indeed, today we were only 12, I LOVE this gardening! I love my extended family very much and I always ready to host them, I am used to prepare food(good food if I may say ) for 30 or more persons, no problem at all! )
The turkey was marinated over night in olive oil, Lemmon fresh from my tree, paprika, hot chilli flakes, turmeric, caraway black pepper salt rosemary and sage from my herb garden.
But the difference is in the cooking method, this home made smoker is a marvelous! deb I wish you could taste the lemb and the turkey they was do tasty and moist, nothing except the skeleton and some scraps remain! with the help of 4 bottles of wine!
