Hey Grandpa, What's For Supper?

[Backyard Buddies]

I'm making baked mahi mahi with lemon and herbs, sauteed multicolored Swiss chard, and French bread. Smells yummy!

On another vein, did anyone ever hear from Tutter? I emailed her some time ago and never heard back.

I hope all is OK.

I spent today cleaning up the yard from when Ike hit Ohio, yesterday was still too wet. We were very lucky here. just leaves and branches mostly, but those 80 mph gusts really did hurt my tomatoes...gggrrrr!

So tonight it was a quick Oktoberfest meal.

Sauteed sliced Polish sausage with sliced apples, sliced onions and kraut and served with buttered noodles sprinkled with poppy seeds.

I was hoping to make a Bohemian rye bread too, but ran out of energy.

I picked a huge bowl of tomatos today, so I chopped them up and simmered them down with garlic, Italian seasoning, hamburger and tomato paste and made a really good pasta sauce over fettucini. With that we had tossed salad and buttermilk biscuits

Tonight I am making Sh*t on a Shingle. Its an old Family recipe of ours. If you make anything similar I would love to hear! Every time we make this for a guest they freak! They laugh at the name and love the taste! My great great grandparents used to call it poor mans gravy... For the kiddos though, its only known as S.O.S

We cook up about a pound of ground hamburger meat, get it nice and brown and then drain the fat.

Shake up white all purpose flour and whole or canned milk together with Salt and pepper to taste and add it to the ground meat. Make a nice white thick gravy...

Now make some Toast and butter it and sprinkle a tiny bit of garlic powder on each toast.

In separate pots I have Mashed potatoes and mixed Veggies cooking for our sides.

Serve by drowning your toast and mashed potatoes with the meat gravy and add your veggies on the side and VIOLA! A quick and Yummy yummy supper and it only took about 30 minutes!


This is such a family favorite! If anyone tries it, I would like to know what you think!

Lanissa86 that is pretty much how we do it too! We have always called it lazy shepherds pie....lol

Tonight for us it is leftover veggies from the roast....brought to boil in the broth/gravy and meatballs added.....instant meatball soup!

We will have mandarin oranges and cottage cheese too!

One of my dad's favorites. Same name too! I think he knew it from his Air Force days but I'm not sure. He used to get my mom to make it once a month or so. Sometimes we had it on toast, sometimes we had it on mashed potatoes. The we called it " ____ on a Cloud"
Tonight I sauteed shrimp with garlic, ginger, scallions, snap peas, and hoisin sauce. Served over jasmine rice.

Lanissa86, That's the Army version which is really good. I usually serve it over puff pastry(learned from an army cook).

I also make the Navy version FOT (foreskins on toast) which is dried chipped beef slices cooked in a white sauce, spooned over toast and garnished with chopped hard boiled eggs.

Both are favorites in my house!

DH finally got a smoker last week. Yesterday was his day off so he smoked a chicken. It was honestly the most amazing thing I have ever tasted! It took all day, we sat in the shade in the yard with our dogs, had a couple of drinks and just hung out. We are usually very busy going somewhere or getting ready to go somewhere! So it was a great day followed by a wonderful meal. We had baked potatoes from our garden and corn on the cob from the garden down the road. MMMMM! I hope he will do it again soon. Even our teenager said it was fantastic. I am not sure what to do tonight. I can't top last night!

Re the S.O.S. combos -

My grandmother used to use canned pink salmon.... the kind with the bones all soft inside..... put it in a white breakfast gravy, and either crackers or toast, depending on how well the larder was stocked that week.

I grew up on the Chipped Beef from the little bitty jars (that are almost impossible to open )

none of my kids will touch the stuff, they'd rather go to bed hungry..... they'll figure it out soon enough if prices stay like they are.... it will be about all we can afford, ya know??
