thechickenchick - There is a way for you BOTH to be happy.

Go ahead and microwave the potatoes. But, while he's grilling the pork chops, lightly oil the skin of your potato, season it how you like, and toss it on the grill for a few minutes. He gets soft skins, you get crispy skins, and without having to heat up another appliance.

That's brilliant!!!!!!!!!! I am going to do that tonight! Thanks for the tip.

Quite welcome. I read that one online at one point. Now when we want potatoes and are grilling at the same time, I always use this method. Just be sure to turn them so that you don't burn them. You'll get cute little grill marks on your 'tater.

I am just about to begin making some corn relish!

This stuff is absolutely wonderful!!!! If anyone wants the recipe I will be glad to oblige

You just put a spoonfull of it in your pintos and WOW!!!
Gonna fry some taters and make some cornbread and I am set!

BYB I tried the potato trick. It works wonderfully!! Thanks again.

I would love your recipe for corn relish Pumkinpup.

Tonight I am making buffalo chicken and rice burritos.

I braised a small hen with shallots, mushrooms and fresh parsley ..few simple seasonings. Instead of taters, I made cassava again.. and will make the lime infused "sauce" that goes over it. (It's lighter than gravy.. but still yummy.) I still haven't decided what the green part will be.. haha... fried cabbage or green beans or something. I may have to go scrounge up a medley of fresh edibles from the back garden..

Hello!
I haven't posted here in awhile, so tonight' menu Was:
meatloaf
mashed potatoes
fried squash and green tomatoes (garden fresh)
wilted salad
cornbread
and sweet iced tea! I specified the ice tonight...had to keep refilling; anyone else sweltering?

Dessert was homemade Angelfood cake I worked a little on and wound up with a wonderful Strawberry shortcake (added pudding and kool-whip)
The Rev. brought in fresh cantelopes too.

Well, goodnight all!

Pumpkinpup - Yes please on the corn relish!

thechickenchick - I'm glad the potato trick worked and that you can both enjoy your 'taters the way you like them.

Aneesa's Muse - That lime infused sauce sounds yummy! What goes into it?

Parson's Wife - Glad to 'see' you! It's warmer than normal but not sweltering here. I'm glad that the ice helped and hope that things cool down sooner rather than later. Welcome back!

We had chicken sandwiches and leftover lentil salad from yesterday. That was some good stuff! I found the recipe at Allrecipes and tweaked it a bit. Delish!
