WHAT'S COOKING THIS OCTOBER 2022? "Goblins & Witches Are Looking for YOU!!"

bethk wrote:Lore, growing up on a farm in Ohio, scalloped potatoes & ham was a regular menu rotation.  Every year there would be a half a slaughtered hog in the freezer and somehow there would be at least 3 or 4 hams....I thought there were only two hams on the entire animal ~ LOL!

But the hams we had growing up did not have the amount of water injected as the ones sold today.  I KNEW the ham should have been cooked apart so the potatoes didn't get watered down but had a memory lapse and messed up.

Maybe next time I'll get it right.....

Throw some parsley on the plate, charge another $2. Gordon Ramsey said n a show I was watching.

I had a good time with my family and friends there, though everybody there was still cautious of Covid virus, we had our masks on every time we went out in public.

I hope every members on this forum are doing well

The day before my departure day, I threw out my back, I think because of me pulling a heavy luggage, but I went on with my trip, on impulse I called the airline and requested wheelchair assistance, I was glad I did, the pain got more intense during the long flight, and the walk to the boarding gate and terminal were so far, I would not be able to walk on my feet. These 2 days the pain is on and off, mostly when I got up from bed or change my sleep position, other than that I'm fine. I even cooked these 3 days, easy cooking, the first day I browned some Jimmy Dean sausage, added a couple cans of chili beans, ate it with steamed rice, yesterday I roasted our homegrown butternut squash with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. after it tender, I added the shrimps, spread on rice, D told me, his mom finished her lunch in a flash . And today I brown some Italian sausage, added some onion, carrots and cabbage, s&p, with some wine vinegar and maple syrup, we ate it with the rest of our rice. I think after 6 weeks they miss my fresh home cooking

Thank you Beth for thinking of me <3

Welcome back. Sorry about your back. I just got back from Italy and threw out my back too. I wasn’t smart enough to order a wheelchair. I could hardly walk off the plane after the first 10 hour flight. I’ll have to remember that next time
