Redneck night. 2 slices of fried bolanoa, coated with a home made hot sauce. Can of chilipote chilies blended with a 8 oz. can of tomato puree. Cold slaw with home made dressing.

15 Bean soup, made with a ham bone, that simmered all day while we were at the gym. It's yummeh.

Heh, we had that too. I think I want to work on the seasonings, though. It was only okay. Or maybe I need more than just the joint of the ham.

Today was slow-cooker Posole. With cornbread. Not bad, but I added a can of Rotel w/habanoros.

So who forgot the thyme and bay leaves in the stew? Me. Please don't worry folks! It isn't too late. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, my beef stew has been saved!


Yes I will have my old fashioned comfort food and love it. Love it, love it! :)

Birthday Dinner ... Veal Parmesan Sandwich, Sweet Potato Fries, and work cake (pineapple butter cake) and momwolf cake (spice).

Well will you tell me what bay leaves are for? I do it, but never have solved this mystery.

Happy Birthday!

Beef/veggie/barley soup in progress... the boy decide not to wait and had dogs with kraut instead. The girl ate most of a container of strawberries and then puked the m right back up. She's babysitting a bowl of oatmeal now...

(no bay leaves in my soup but I was considering crisping some sage...)

Choking on.

Thank you!

Chopped kale sauteed with bacon, onions & red wine, seared pork chops, rustic bread. :yum:

Making pork chops cooked in Worcestershire sauce and mac n cheese and mashed pots....yummy for my hubby

Had to pick up scripts for momwolf, so I hit the salad bar.

Baby Spinach, Romaine Lettuce, and one of those mixed greens assortments, feta cheese, carrots, cukes, chickpeas, baby corns, dolmas, some kind of wheat berries with dried cranberries, walnuts, and other things I can't identify, egg salad and chicken salad. Oh, and I hit the bulk aisle and got some of those sesame stick crunchy things.

Although it contined more roughage, I probably would have been better off ordering a cheesesteak.

For once in my life, I stuck with the plan. I added a little beef stock to up the 'soup'-ish quality of the meal, added some dry rub to the thin-cut chops. Damn tasty, on a cold night.

Wolf -- cheese steak AND salad bar, nummy nummy...
