What Are You Having For Dinner

[Shawn Burkett]

Ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, corn, fruit salad and rolls. We were to full to try the pies for dessert.

 

[snappy1]

Big salad, bacon wrapped jalapenos, cornbread and collard greens.

 

[Pearl]

Leftover burritos from Christmas Eve! I'm ready!

..bacon wrapped jalapenos...

Heh, great kitchen-minds think alike! Just made these again, last nite (albeit, they're more of an 'appetizer' than "Dinner", but....

..SO Good!

Muscovy-Duck / Jalapeño Cream-Cheese / Bacon-wraps w/ Honey & Pepper-flakes as 'Dip'..

• Strips of Muscovy-duck, coarse-pepper / sea-salted, and pan-seared in Olive oil just-past Rare... Let cool a bit..
• Applewood-smoked Bacon, with the nice 'coarse-pepper rind' edges, cooked, but left 'pliable' to Wrap...
• Half-Teaspoon-size balls of Jalapeño cream cheese...

...then you 'criss-cross wrap' into 'poppers' - (Duck around the cream-cheese balls, bacon around the duck, skewer with a toothpick..)

PS - Forgot one step: Once "done", pop under the Broiler for a bit, to 'crisp-up' the Bacon / warm-up, overall, but.. Not Too long, 'else the cream-cheese will 'leave the building' Then, you..

- Dip in a mix of Honey + Pepper-flakes and wash down with copious amounts your favorite Amber-ale or White wine..

This time, on the Duck-strips, tho, used a bit of Rosemary to season (was a Good variant..) and we just cooked 'em in the Bacon grease, cuz.. 'Yolo'

..and if ya can't "find" pepper-rinded Bacon, easy enough to simply 'DIY', by rolling 'em into 'logs', and dipping into a field of peppercorn-grindered flakes..

..Bada-bing.

...Dang, now I want s'more!

My dear wife made the most delicious soup with the bone from our Christmas morning ham. She has this amazing talent of just smelling soups and seasoning them by smell until they are mouth watering delicious. I've got a feeling this is one soup that won't make it to the freezer!

 

[Amish Heart]

Turkey enchiladas, black beans, spanish rice

 

[Spikedriver]

Ham and bean soup with cornbread. Then I drove the family around to look at Christmas lights and they decided to go through the Dairy Queen drive thru for ice cream, but I was driving so I didn't get any. Pretty hard to eat ice cream and drive at the same time...

 

[Amish Heart]

I'd do it anyway.

 

[Spikedriver]

I'd do it anyway.

Lol I need one hand for the spoon and one to hold the sundae dish. I would steer with my knee but everybody yells at me when I do that..

 

[Amish Heart]

OK. Should of had a shake then. Peanut butter and chocolate shake is a good one.

Y'all got your black eyed peas ready to cook on New years?

DW does the holiday cooking, like corn beef for St. Patrick's day.
But New year seem more like everyday with Ham, collards, Black eyed peas & cornbread.

 

[Spikedriver]

Eye of round steak with Night of the Living BBQ Sauce, and a protein shake...

 

[Peanut]

Since it is the holiday season... yesterday in town I stopped for roast beast at the good deli and a fresh loaf of Italian bread. I also picked up a few slices of provalone cheese.

Dinner tonight was a big sandwich... I added diced onion/bell pepper and melted the cheese... so good.

Oh, I tried Zatarains prepared horse radish tonight. It's decent but I think I prefer the Inglehoffer brand.

I found unopened orange sherbet ice cream in the big freezer this afternoon. Thinking about dessert.

One of my childhood favorites!

 

[Peanut]

My uncles farm was next to ours, he had a little country store. Of course there was candy, icecream, honey buns and Grapico grape soda.

My favorite was orange sherbet "push ups", a tube of sherbert on a stick. Anyway, that was the local name.

I remember Push ups. They were kind of like an orange creme flavor. Good stuff!

 

[Bacpacker]

Push ups were awesome. Specially on a HOT day.

By the time you got to the bottom they were so melted you could almost drink what didn't seep through the papery cardboard holder!
