Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

[redhen]

pork country ribs..seared brown and then tossed in an electric skillet with onions and peppers and BBQ sauce and simmered all day on low till the meat falls off the bone and served over buttered egg noodles..and corn for a veggie....

I'm glad to hear that the kitchens weren't closed for the evening! Sounds like some good stuff all around.

Bigzio - My Illinoisan cousin swears by ice fishing and says he gets some of his best catches that way. He's invited me to visit in the winter, but I don't know how well I'd do.

Annesa's Muse - Is Kheer an Afghani pudding? Is it anything like the Persian pudding that has almonds and saffron in it? If so, I'm not a fan either. I've given it several opportunities to grow on me, and well, I'd rather do without dessert!

Speaking of which, I'm sure I have some leftover bread pudding and whiskey sauce around here somewhere . . . .

DH took us out for pizza last night-NO COOKIN HERE!!

happyhen- your dinner sounds great! I haven't made gumbo for ages. Recipe????

bigzio- I always wanted to try ice fishing, maybe someday.

We go grocery shopping todaye While in the city we are going to look for some new castiron cookware for me!!! DH is tired of hearing me complain about my old stupid non-stick crap.

I mainly try only to use the few castiron pieces that I have(all skillets and grills/gridles) I found all that I want online, but the shipping is murder-of course

BB- I will post the recipe on the other thread.

Happy shopping Monica! A good cast iron pan will last FOREVER! I only own one of them, but it belonged to my grandmother and possibly my great grandmother before her. Since these ladies ran a catering business in Hollywood from the 1920's - 1960s, who knows who might have enjoyed a meal prepared in those pans! My mom tells me that my grandmother used to take that pan with her on the streetcar as she'd head off to her jobs.

Dinner tonight will be take-out from Pat & Oscar's:

So far, this is a chain only in So. Cal, but watch for it to expand. Great food and great prices. The garlic breadsticks are to die for!

We're celebrating the winter bdays in my family. Half of the family celebrates bdays within a 25 day period and it'd be crazy over the holiday period to try to celebrate them one by one. Funny how that happened.

Kheer is more Indonesian/Pakistani ..rice pudding with pistachio, sometimes ....Firnee is the Afghani "equivalent" ..I think.. and they use a different grain or whatever.. giving it a weird texture that I've never been able to adjust to ..and I've tried a few sources

I'm pretty sure every nation has it's own version of "rice pudding"

cknmom... have fun shopping today! I had all of my Nannie's cast iron ..well, had being key ...someone stole everything out of my storage back in GA ..and you just can't replace "heirlooms" like your great-grandmother's cast iron.

I think tonight will be Spaghetti, green beans, and garlic bread.

I just made a batch of cheese bagels for lunch...we put ham and cheese on them and warmed them until the cheese melted. The bagels had been boiled, then dipped in shredded cheese and baked, so the crispy outer cheese was AWESOME.

For dinner I have baked beans simmering in the crock pot. I'm going to make big hamburgers with onion soup mix in them.
