Hey Grandpa, What's For Supper?

[Backyard Buddies]

Big Father's Day dinner here. DH wanted our BIL to join us, which was nice.

We had:
BBQ Rib Eye Steaks
Baked Potatoes with butter, cheese, sour cream, bacon, and green onions.
Big ol' Salad that was filled with various greens, red and yellow pepper, carrots, black and garbanzo beans, cucumber, corn, and zucchini, with choice of dressing and croutons.
Cabernet for the adults, cold milk for the kids.

Dessert is choice of homemade rhubarb pie and/or homemade rhubarb and strawberry crumble with ice cream. Served with coffee.

I felt like i had a proper cooking day yesterday. I cooked my DH some Chicken Fried Chicken with white Gravy and Rice. We had some White peas the little tiny kind. I made zucchini bread. He was happy. I take chicken breast filet and and pound them thin and then bread and fry. Grreat with the white gravy. I started a roast cooking in the Cast iron Dutch oven and finished it this morning. Made him some gravy over that too. Put some cornbread in the oven and warmed up the rice and peas and sliced some fresh hOme grown tomatoes. Yum. To top it off we had a Watermelon that weighed about forty pounds right out of the feild and it was so cold and sweet after sitting in my fridge over nite.

It will take me quite awhile to get through the whole 157 pages of this thread, but I wanted to say something about it anyways. What I have read sounds great, except the whole smoked cheese thingy (YUK to that). What I really wanted to say was that what got me to even open the thread was the title. It got me all misty-eyed and nostalgic. Every Saturday night when I was a kid would find us watching Hee-Haw, usually while mom finished cooking dinner. We (my sis, bro and me) had some real-good cooking when we were kids, but what "Grandpa" was fixin always sounded better, except on home-made taco and pizza nights. In fact, during Hee-Haw was the only times we ever got to eat in the livingroom as kids, on the coffee table or a towel on the floor of course.

Hi, Blurose!

Or you can just join in from today forward....someone's always cooking something wonderful!

Ah yes! I have some similar, wonderful memories!

Do I want to talk about this, Peeboo? No, I don't think so! lol! I used to like Dorito's a lot....the original flavor.

2Dream, any meal that starts with BBQ'd ribs is great for me! They are one of my top 5 favorite foods!

BamaChicken, you had a proper cooking day, indeed! And what a terrific use of chicken breasts! I don't know when I last had chicken fried chicken, but it's a great idea for my next menu! The watermelon sounds wonderful; your season is ahead of ours. We're just now getting tomatoes.

Backyard Buddies, we see my parents only once a year for a couple of days, so our time together is very important to me. Last year they stayed a night with us on the lake, where we spend a few days a year, when we can, and your dinner sounds almost exactly like the one we had with them. Right down to the potato toppings! So I know what a good meal you had, and how the company makes it all the much nicer.

We had roast and potatoes, slow cooked all day in the crockpot. I made some pretty good gravy (if I say so myself, lol!) out of the drippings, and cooked up some frozen green beans on the stove, with garlic salt, and bacon grease. I'm pretty full right now!

Everyone had something different tonight, so I had leftover chicken fried rice, and a piece of that Father's Day cake. I love fried rice, and the cake came out just right. Which is to say, exactly as my grandmother, mother, and dh's mother, used to make it. That makes it comfort food.

Scrambled Egg, that gives me an idea for my next menu. I need to jot these good ideas into a notebook!

BramaMama, that sounds so good! And there's nothing like good gravy!

Tonight was a special night:

Corned Beef and Cabbage w/potatoes,carrots and corn on the cob. Wow!
Cornbread - of course
Sliced home grown tomatoes and cucumbers
Cold Iced Sweet Tea

blurose Welcome to the thread. So glad to have you on here with the rest of us country folk. Just feel free to pull up a chair at the table, join in on the nostalgia and some mighty fine eating. Yum Yum!

Country fried steak, green beans, mac and cheese (out of the blue box), home grown tomatos, cornbread and last but by no means least that famous, big ole glass of milk.

I was tired from all that garden work and chicken work that I had to do after work that is why I cheated on the mac and cheese. I did get a gift from MIL today. She gave us her tiller since she does not garden anymore. Wow, I can guide it with one hand. Super cool.

Hi blurose, Welcome to the best place on BYC. Its the best cause this is where all the food is.

Edited some really bad spelling. LOL

Wow, I am so tired tonite. I just got a chance to get online. Went to work at the Church this morning and some friends brought me to big bags of fresh field corn. Then DIL called to see if I would pick the girls up on the way home so they could swim and she could get the house ready for the realtor. So sometimes you have to go with the flow. Got in the pool and played and then we all shucked corn and cut it off and creamed enough for supper. Cooked some beef patties and warmed up some peas. That corn was awesome. All licked up by everyone who dropped by.
After they all left I had to finish shucking and creaming. Didn't have enough bags so my 80 Year old Mom got out and drove over and brought me some bags and a gallon of blueberries she had picked today and some peas. I sent her home with corn and fresh squash already wash and cut up. She just left at ten pm. I am pooped.
Everyones supper sounded great. Welcome Bluerose
