Hey Grandpa, What's For Supper?

Tonight we are having herbed chicken strips, au gratin potatoes, and asparagus, with strawberry shortcake later on. We are just having a bumper crop from these transplanted wild strawberries!

But I'm also going to start tomorrow's dinner, as it's ds's birthday, and he wants pizza. I think I'll slice the toppings, grate the cheese, and make the pizza sauce tonight, since it's supposed to be pretty warm tomorrow. Then all I'll need do, aside from assemble, is make the dough, but that's a snap in the food processor!

BrahmaMama, I love pastrami, especially as a hot pastrami sandwich....with pickles!

But also, have you ever cut it up and cooked it in a pan with eggs, or used it anywhere you might use bacon? I've cooked it in a pan until getting crispy, and used it on and in all sorts of things, when I've had extra!

Redfeathers, yes, it's usually a vinaigrette. At least that's how I've had it. Vinegar causes a reaction from mozzerella. It kind of "firms it up." Sometime take 2 pieces. Eat one plain, and then drizzle one with Italian dressing, and note the texture difference. That's why, when I make a dinner salad with cheese, grilled chicken etc. in it, I put the cheese at the top, so that when I drizzle on the dressing, I'm sure that all the cheese gets some on it. Often the topping to what you're talking about is based in balsamic, but you can do whatever you like. I have a roasted red bell pepper vinaigrette that I really like.

Parsonwife, that sounds wonderful!

2dream, I'd definitely let him do it, but if you could casually inquire as to what all he did, curious minds would like to know!

Wow, Chknmom, that was quite a leftovers meal!

Yogi, I think you just invented gourmet comfort food! That sounds really great! If I was there, I know I'd eat every bite of that dinner!

The vidalia onions just got here about a week ago, and I am looking forward to switching from the last sweet onions we had, to them!

Oh, no. I'm really sorry that your sister has taken a bad turn. It's scary to not be able to catch your breath, and double pneumonia would be bad for anyone, yeslet someone with her problems. I'll continue to remember you all in prayer. (((Hug!)))
 
I had potato soup and cornbread.
Everyone else had sliced pork with gravy, stewed fresh squash with onions and cornbread.
I think I have streph throat so the potato soup was all I wanted.

Yogi - I think I need some of your comfort food.
Hope your sis is doing better.

Tutter- DH says he can't remember what all he did to the shrimp. Minced garlic, slap yo momma, a little olive oil and a little butter, and a few onions was all he could remember. Dumped it all in a hot skillet, cooked for about 3 minutes.
 
Well, today is ds's pizza birthday party! We always let whoever's birthday it is choose their meal.

Basically we're having homemade pizzas and green salad; chocolate sour cream cake, and banana splits. (Can we all say, sugar overdose?)

So far for the pizza I have ready: vidalia onions, peppers, portobello mushrooms, olives, homemade spicy meat, fire roasted peppers and artichoke hearts, ready for people to build their own pizzas. Goodness, I almost forgot to take the pepperoni out of the freezer, and it was a special birthday boy request! It's buffalo, I get it special order locally, and it stays frozen usually. Well, it won't be frozen for long in this heat; it's 97 today! Now I have to wonder if I'm forgetting something else!

For the banana splits I have chocolate, vanilla and raspberry ice creams, and whatever anyone wants on them from dried wild blueberries, to butterscotch and boysenberry toppings. (I canned boysenberry and blackberry toppings, syrups and jams last summer, but kept some topping aside. I had a feeling he'd choose banana splits for his birthday! Mom's just know these things. We don't just have eyes in the backs of our heads, we read minds, too!) ; ) That makes it easy, just put a spoon in each thing, and let everyone go to town!

Thank you, 2 dream! I hope you feel better soon.

uhmmm....Tutter, sounds sooooo good!
Sunday night we are having an ice cream social for Fathers Day celebration, my husband has specially requested "banana splits"...
my husband loves pecans or peanuts on his too.

I know, it's weird.

I needed to bake today, so around breads, cake and cookies, we had a foccacia with scallions and parmesan, a mixed green salad (yep, all from the garden!)with balsamic and olive oil, and homemade strawberry icecream.

The kids are home from college and eating me out of house and home!

It was the last day of school for DD and has been a terrifically busy week. With that in mind, tonight's dinner is take out Chinese. Even though I'm not cooking dinner, I am making a dessert. I have some bread pudding in the oven right now and will whip up some whiskey sauce to serve it with.
 
We're having leftover pizza and salad tonight.

lol! Thanks, Redhen, I wish I could have shared some.

Hi, Parsonswife! Thank you, it turned out well, thank goodness. I would hate for the day something didn't come out to be the day people were coming over!

Well good for him; and nuts *are* good on them! I used to eat peanuts, crushed, on mine. But always liked pecans a lot, too! It sounds like it's going to be nice; have a good time!
smile.png


I don't think that's weird, Happyhen. And the dinner sounds good! I've made an olive foccacia that is about my favorite...with parmesan, of course, and sometimes rosemary.

Yes, they can eat a lot, can't they?

Scrambled Egg, I just had some smoked provolone yesterday, and it was really good. Not overpowering, and pleasant. (Some smoked cheeses taste like burning newspaper...blech!

Enjoy your meal!

Backyard Buddies, Chinese restaurants are probably my favorites; that has me ready to eat!

Dessert sounds good, too! I am being lazy and serving ice cream and leftover cake from last night.

Tutter,

I make an olive foccacia too using black olives cured in oil and sun dried tomatoes. A little basil instead of rosemary......yummmm!

And thanks to everyone here for so many great ideas!

It was just me tonight, so egg salad on whole wheat.
