Looks great. Grilled chicken looks well well done!bethk wrote:He said he wanted grilled chicken....
so ~ grilled chicken it was. I thawed & reheated some mashed potatoes and sauted some onion & zucchini.
Is it "Jimmy chicken?"

Tina made a big pan of lasagna for DIL's Christmas Party at her work tomorrow.
There was some sauce and ricotta left over, and so, It was wagon wheels macaroni and baby taco's. There were two left in the baggie for a snack later.
Those things are good. Spicy just a tad, but the corn tasting shells are great.

I have an idea...
It will probably fizzle out by the time suppertime bells ring, but.... I was thinking of just a small batch of dough, to make PIZZA! Just two 16" round pies. One fresh mushrooms, and the other with pepperoni on 1/2.
It's a lazy dreary rainy day ( I love it ), so anything can happen when it comes to food on a day like this.
I mentioned to Tina,"Are you wishing for scrambled eggs and cheese?" She said,"Naww...I'm too lazy to make them!" Haaaaaa..... She had a ham and cheese with mayo, and I ate the half she couldn't eat.
It always tastes better whe someone else makes something.

I said I had pork and chicken and steak in the freezer, which did he want for supper?
His short answer, "no".
So, while we were out and about we stopped at the store and got a nice cod fillet - panko coated, pan fried on the grill side burner, made hash browns and green beans.

I remembered in the freezer, were Maryland Crabcakes from Baltimore, MD.
My Neice sent them from a famous restaurant packed in plastic p half pint containers.
My Goodness...the crabmeat lumps were so big.
Made a pack of that Spanish Rice to have with it.

YUM! Crab cakes!
One of these days I'm gonna get to Maryland with a "native" and go to a real steamed blue crab feast. It's one of those things on my "bucket list", but I only want to be there with someone who will take me to the best, freshest place and teach me to rip them apart in the most economical and quick manner.

Maybe they have a bus trip that you can hitch up with. Tina is going on a bus trip Sunday to NYC. She and son Jimmy and DIL and GD are going to see the Christmas tree and attractions / etc.bethk wrote:YUM! Crab cakes!

DIL got 6 tickets free from her place of work.
Me!! I don't need to see it. I've seen it once. Enough as I say!
It's supposed to be nasty and cold anyway. I like the cold, but not whilst trailing around that place.

Yeah, I know what you mean....
If I want to see holiday lights, etc., I understand there's a lovely little town about an hour from here that is all decked out ~ Mt. Dora. I'll go take a look and be able to see all I want of the lights, all from the comfort of my convertible with the top down and the heat cranked up if it gets breezy...
I can see NYC on television and get cold just lookin'....

Tonight we're going out with friends for one last "couples" meal until he retires in February and is here full time.

Goodness Gracious, that meal of Imelda looks great.
Tonight we are having Chinese Fried (Pork) rice and Shrimp egg rolls from Hong Kong Palace. Tina has to go to church tonight because she will be on her bus trip to NYC tomorrow. She will just pick up supper on her way home.

My Mother In Law retired at 62> She was in ill health, and 6 months before, Tina had to take her to SS to register and sign to retire early.
All went well, and she retired, and then moved in with us.
2 years later, her sister said she was going through a box of records and found Tina's Moms Real State Birth Record. There was a mistake in the date somewhere along the line, and low and behold, she was listed as 1 year younger on the normal records.
Back then, they went by church records, and she was not recorded until 1 year later then she was actually born! The poor thing could have retired a year earlier, and the records never showed her real birth date.
Years ago there was trust I guess. As a matter of fact, The sister is recorded as being 92, but her actual birth would make her 93 years old! Is that weird? Or What?

That's the way it was, back in the day.
My grandfather's parents had 15 children and, for some reason unknown to anyone, his mother changed the birth date of 3 of her children because they were born closer than 24 months from the one before. I guess when babies were born at home they just took the mother's word for it as to when, etc.

And you were right Beth....Tina's mom was born at home. Along with her twin sister.

Jimmy.. it's so good.. I saw it on Country Cooking show.. I used 1 tbsp of cornstarch mixed with 1 tsp of salt, I added garlic powder and black pepper.. generously rubbed on the both sides of the steaks, then put them on a wire rack and let them sit while my DH started the fire.. the danger is.. we eat all of them, we can't see the fat ( or pretend not see )
, because all fat was covered in the crust which tastes so good
my double baked potatoes were so good too.. I intended to eat only 1 piece ( half ) but ended up eating the whole potato.. I added some butter, cheese, garlic powder, chili flake and cilantro in the mashed potatoes

Excellent, Imelda, just excellent!
When I make baked potatoes in the oven (and have extra time) I'll bake 4 or 5 extra ones to scoop out and mash with cream cheese, butter & maybe sour cream - oh, and onion & chives, too. Then I refill and let them cool. Then I can wrap in plastic and freeze. They can be reheated in the oven, the microwave or on the grill when thawed.
