Everything is almost ready for stew tomorrow to feed a crew, we are preg-checking cows. Cut my veggies today, cooked the beef a week ago and froze it (cooked some for BBQ sandwiches for feeding the crew when we shipped calves), just have to throw the ingredients in the crock pot in the morning and we'll have stew for lunch. Have dinner rolls to go with and chocolate cake.

Cooked my version of a Pho Ga ( Vietnamese chicken noodle soup) on Friday night and made the dumplings that Chanda had given me the recipe for , they were really good

Saturday night was a Red chicken curry w/ rice and naan bread

And last night we had a BBQ with salads.............

 

[chandab]

Glad you liked the dumplings, and so simple to make.

Have been living off Salad for the last week, 4 days in a row over 42 degrees Celsius has just about wilted me. Waking up at 6 am and it already being 37 has not been fun.

Cool change has finally come through

Rump Roast and potatoes in the crock pot, may or may not heat a veggie.

Sausage Casserole and a side salad last night

Nothing better than throwing a few ingredients into a pot , And hoping its going to taste ok, and it does.

I threw some onion , capsicum , tomatoes , zucchini into the oven dish , placed the sausages on top threw the rest of the onions ect on top , jar of pasta sauce on top and then into the oven for an hour on 200dc.

"4 days in a row over 42 degrees Celsius has just about wilted me."

I converted this to.....107.6 fahrenheit!!! OOOOOH RYAN!! I do feel sorry for you. Is it at least not too humid?

As far as eats, Saturday we had a potluck buffet for our volunteers at work. Senior clerk baked ham. The other Julie (yes there are two of us ) brought drinks, white chocolate dipped ritz crackers with peanut butter inside, and a baked potato casserole. I brought baked beans, dressing, and green bean casserole. So leftovers for me Sunday.

Today I had MORE leftovers for a very early breakfast. Paula invited me for lasgna for dinner.

Homemade pizza tonight. Dough made in the bread machine is about ready to be flattened for crust; then really basic ingredients, sauce, hamburger (we have lots) and cheese.

Chanda - can you tell me about your bread machine and what kinds of bread you make? Are they worth it?

Long ago, about 15-20 yrs, I used to make bread, pizza & calzone dough from scratch. I made white refined flour, un-refined flour and wheat flour. I was hoping to start making bread from scratch again - but time really gets in the way and I'm wondering about that "machine"... and thinking it might be better??? Or do I really want to spend more money?

Personally, I don't use mine a whole lot, it was a wedding gift, so I thought I'd go ahead and use it, instead of store it. I make a loaf of bread now and then, but mostly use it to mix up dough for pizza crust. My is a Pilsbury Best. My MIL uses her bread machine a fair amount, mostly seems to make breakfast bread in it. When mine dies, I probably won't replace it.

Chicken Tacos here last night .

Im making homemade pizzas tonight , I have some fresh beetroot that will go nicely with some other ingredients.

2 cups of self raising flour & 1 cup of greek yogurt make for a really nice pizza dough

Beef Sausages and a side salad last night for dinner.

 

[Silver City Heritage Farmstead]

Crock pot winter vegetables with a 1/2 pound chunk of eye of round (beef) that was on sale. Veggies were carrot, sweet potato, white potato and cabbage. Salt, pepper and 1/8 tsp. of garlic. Four hours later and it's ready to eat with some pumpernickel bread and butter. It's delicious and I've enough leftovers for lunch and a bit to freeze for an insty-dinner.

It was really nice to come in to this since it was only 29 degrees at my house when I came in at 5:30. I'm not complaining though, as the calendar says it's still winter.

This thread makes me hungry!

Just like the last time I think posted, we're having chicken fajitas. It's been awhile since we have. Refried beans and salad as well.

Hope everyone is looking forward to dinner or had a good one if it already went down the hatch

 

[Ryan Johnson]

I know tell me about it

. My mouth instantly starts watering when I read what everyones having for dinner, which im not complaining about cause it gives me some great ideas for meals

Went in to visit a friend in hospital last night in the city so decided to find a restaurant nearby. Found a nice Greek restaurant and the food was amazing. The Saganaki cheese gets me everytime. Surely not overly healthy, but sure tasted great

Jill I took your advice from last year and I have been using my slow cooker right thru summer this year. It really does eliminate the heat in the kitchen and I love putting it on and it being ready by the time im done outside for the day

Julie that meal looks yummy

 

[Rocklone Miniature Horses]

Nothing yet. I have a rare day off tomorrow from anything (no horses, no job, no dogs, no nothing!!!) so i'm having a beer or five. Tomorrow i will watch trashy TV all day and eat chocolate and maybe not be able eat anything hahahahah

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Rocklone Im on the way , save me a beer

 

[Rocklone Miniature Horses]

ahahahha...no

 

[Jill]

Making spaghetti sauce later today. That over linquini and salad will be dinner for today and at least one other night

Looks like we're in for a major snow starting tomorrow. Time to hunker down and keep warm. Hard to think of that and not think of comfort food, which is on hand!
