January 2014: What's Cooking in the Kitchen?

I have never had a New England boiled dinner before. I have heard of it but don't know much about it.

Jimmy,
Clam bake is usually corn on the cob, clams, potatoes, etc....

My family's Boiled dinner (NE style)
Ham, potatoes, cabbage, carrots...oh, maybe a turnip..
Very similar to corned beef and cabbage..

OK, maybe Mom substituted smoked sausage rings for the more expensive ham....

that makes sense, I guess.

thanks everyone for helping me clear this up

I have been wanting Mexican food.Aka Tex/Mex.

Got my avocado.
Got my rice.
Got my flour tortilla
Got refried beans..
enchilada sauce,cheese.No chips so I will make some.

No tacos in the wind either.

I've been hungry for a fajita type meal but it seems like I cannot convince myself to assemble all the separate items, well, that and the price of avacados lately ~ won't pay over $1 each. That's crazy.

yah they are $1 here too.Hass are the ones I buy.

Guacamole..








Enchilada

Oh Yum! I am so craving Mexican food.

You should have made Spanish Rice.....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (sorry, I just couldn't resist.....)

I made Barb's NOT favorite ~ Sesame Chicken with LOTS of sesame seeds.

Lasagna tonight with garlic bread. It is hot here today, 'bout 85°. I couldn't think of anything else to cook.

Darn they look amazingly good. Ummmm!

Baby Burgers ! Works great for a Ladies' Luncheon....not so sure for Jimmy's Supper ~ LOL

But you lost that burger under all the sauce!

The potatoes are how I like 'em....nice and crispy, like flat French fries.

hummm burgers , fries,  corn.. on the grill.Looks like my dinner plans are in.     


We may be a small bunch here but our food fixin is great..  

Boy, ain't that the truth?

Without you guys I'd probably just have oatmeal all week long!

You are all my inspiration!

Yeah! They were supposed to be Beth Burgers, with a slice of onion on top, and ketchup.
I had to change to a fakeburger because we had not one drop of ketchup, and the onions ( I don't know where she got them ) were hard to chew.
They cook ok, but NOT to eat. I had to nibble on them on the side.
I had three ears of corn, and I cut them in half to Stretch em out, and Nobody wanted any. Tina had a small piece. I wound up devouring the rest.
 
I guess it's because I forgot to say,"Don't forget to leave room for corn!"
 
Today there came the Big Morning ? Question ? "What's fer supper!"
 
I said " Hows about a nice stew?" ... Tina's eyes gleamed.
She's on her way to the hair dressers, and on the way back, she will pick up Onions / carrots / and celery which we are all out of. She's picking up a nice Italian bread to sop up the gravy juices.

That's the best part!

Boo hoo.  I have not had good Italian bread since I left Baltimore.

Brother used to live in Catonsville, and he would always be able to get good Italian Bread.
He brought us those Boboli from a friend in Baltimore City, and the guy was trying to market them. They were in a cardboard box when he would bring them to us.
Now the guy has a business. We used to make pizza's out of them.
When they first came out, they were just plain. Now they have different flavored ones and the cheese ones are great.

I'm having leftover NE Boiled Dinner....not my favorite thing, leftovers, but I'm not a whole lot hungry but I need to eat something so I don't wake up at 3:00 a.m. and think I need something to eat. So, no pics tonight.
