DECEMBER 2013;"What's Cooking In The Kitchen?"

Goodness....SO pretty!

Did I ever mention how I'd like to live closer to you? YUM!

My Christmas supper:

Strip steak (it really wasn't as done as it looks, but I may have let it rest a little too long), creamed potatoes, roasted carrots/parsnips/onions and a tossed salad

Stuffed Shells.Took me all dang afternoon to make them.

and.....you had better things to do???

Looks amazingly tasty.

Barb....we used to fill them until we found them already filled, and sold at Sams Club. Yours look great though!

I decided on sweet & sour pork for my supper tonight....not to be confused with Imelda's sweet & sour pork because HER'S is much more authentic and very tasty, I'm sure. Mine is more of a 1960's standard and I make it because I like it.....

Well, looking on the bright side, Jimmy....

At least the turkey meat will be out of the house as well.

I don't like leftovers. If they get removed from the refrigerator and someone will eat them, well, all the better for me. The only thing we seem to eat, as leftovers, are the salads - like the Waldorf Salad or the Orange Jello Cabbage, Carrot & Pineapple salad.

Darn ~ now I'm thinkin' I really need to make one of those just for me. (I wasn't hungry for 'em until YOU brought up the subject......thanks ~ for nothin' ! lol)

Got rid of all the food I made lately.So today will be fresh made something. Not really in the mode for anything ,just yet.

65` today so maybe a grilled steak & a big ole double stuffed tator.

I made a cherry crostada for friend Bill's birthday present today, well, that and a big jar of his favorite pickled beets. His birthday was Christmas day so I intentionally waited a couple days to take food gifts over for him....

And since I didn't feel like cooking anything else I stopped and picked up some Chinese for my supper...nothing outstanding but tasty all the same.

surf & turf lol sortof..

Dinner on the ready.Grilling today.Pushing 70`

gorgeous. better than a hunk 'o steak....'cause it's so much pretty color.

Are you having it with a rice or orzo or a salad?

Have not got that far lol Rice or orzo would be good.

We had pan fried strip steak for dinner last night too.  With it was an Ina recipe for Parmesan Roasted Broccoli which I had planned to make on Christmas but didn't and some new potatoes with seasoned oil and herbs.  I don't remember the flavorings on the potatoes because they were store bought pre-cooked. I just reheated them in the Microwave.

I had planned to make some cod tonight but ended up shopping at some consignment stores with Barb as she's looking for a corner desk to put her computer on.

by the time she gets home,your burger will be smushed.Your fries cold. 

Jambalaya ..aka fancy name for sausage & rice..

Oh, goodness, Barb....I have some jambalaya in the freezer ~ I add a few fresh shrimp to mine. Take a guess what's gonna be on my menu real soon! (copy cat, copy cat, copy cat Beth!)

But tonight I cut my cod filet into fingers, dusted it with corn flour, drizzled on some buttermilk, then a bit more corn flour to just give a very light coating...deep fried. French fries along side with the last potato in the pantry.
