A huge, GIGANTIC FAIL for Grandma tonight.....I made one of our favorites but it turns out it is NOT going to be HIS favorite any time soon. He eats lots of different vegetables but green peppers / chiles is NOT on the preferred list. Oh well, can't win 'em all. He did eat one enchilada, picked the majority of the pieces of mild green chiles out of the filling where he could, and then ended his meal with a couple grilled cheese sandwiches.
He did like the guacamole ~ so at least it wasn't ALL terrible.

Had the rice and beans.... good.
Also had some fork fulls of angel hair that T made for GD.
Then....I had a spaghetti sandwich. Toast buttered and nested with spaghetti.
Oh So Good! .... Another great sandwich on buttered toast, is string beans.
Tina just ran over to Dairy Queen to get us ice cream for dessert.
Oooo...here she comes...ummmm....vanilla with hot butterscotch syrup....

We go through the same thing here with the GD. And she's 23. Won't try anything new. We call her the standard eater. Hot dog / hamburger / fries / chicken ( must be breaded ) and spaghetti with meat sauce or mac and cheese. Pierogies ( Mrs. T's w yellow cheese filling only. NO Onions ) Pumpkin pie / orio's / or lemon pie.
Pizza anytime. Cereal ( all fruity ones with marshmallows or like captain crunch, fruity pebbles; any of the kids cereals.
She hates cooking, and won't cook. She can make Kraft Boxed Mac and cheese.
She will eat Chef Boyardee ravioli cheese ones only.

Cassie was the least picky eater in her family but still I had a list of things that she didn't like and had to leave out or substitute something nearly every meal. Then there were things I only cooked when she was going to be at work. Her brother and sister were worse at first but eventually would at least try everything.

Son and DIL are coming over tonight to sand and prime the rest of the bedroom / nursery downstairs.
Tina went to have lunch with a church friend at the Centenary College here in town, where they have a brunch for $7.50....all one can eat, and served up by pro chefs.
Then she figured she will get some great steaks to do on the grill for supper when the kids come over.
I want a burger on the grill.

no cooking here....I've been running errands all day. We needed a special battery for the remote for the outdoor awning so we had to drive 35 minutes in crappy traffic to the nearest store that carries the dumb things. Ended up buying 3 so when it dies again we won't have to repeat the trip.
We stopped for a sandwich on the way home.

I didn't feel hungry because I had a sandwich at 3 o'clock. I picked on the piece of steak.
Having coffee and some cookies now.
Tina had a bowl of cereal for supper. Oh! she had a little mashed potatoes and gravy too.

Tonight was a stroganoff repeat....right down to the green beans. But I also made some broccoli since I had a small amount to cook and it's Jake's all time favorite. So, if you want to see what it looked like, go back to earlier in the week and you'll see my meal.
Tomorrow we will be going to the beach for the whole day. Part of the family is vacationing in their new camper trailer and cousins are visiting from Tennessee so it should be a fun filled day for a whole bunch of kids. Jake is excited about seeing his cousins and spending the day at the beach to look for starfish and shark's teeth. I'd be happy with a few pieces of sea glass....

I heard on a cooking show some time ago that if you want your broccoli or green beans to stay bright green to not cover the pot. I haven't tried it. Is there any truth to it?
I had a salad and some more Lake Erie fish tonight. I know, I'm spoiled>

I don't know about the 'no lid' rule.....but I know if you don't over-cook they stay nice and green. I cook my broccoli in the microwave with just a Tbsp. of water for 2 - 3 minutes (in a bowl covered with plastic wrap). Doesn't over-cook and stays bright green. No salt added until after it's cooked may help also.....JMO
And you are very fortunate to have Lake Erie fresh fish at your table! So wonderful and fresh & sweet tasting. Lucky you!

Thanks. Yes, I am lucky. My son also has the luxury that he can go out fishing often. Yesterday's catch apparently included an 8 pound pickerel. I will get some of that, including the carcass for a chowder! He also sticks strictly to the allowable limits and gives any extra away. "Can't be too greedy, there's enough for everyone" is his motto.bethk wrote:Niagara Visitor wrote:I heard on a cooking show some time ago that if you want your broccoli or green beans to stay bright green to not cover the pot.

I have never seen a recipe for Swedish meatballs that uses lamb. I used half beef and half pork.
My southern mom didn't know that it was possible to overcook green beans.
