Mine usually didn't last long enough to soak the cardboard. Not sayin anything about brain freezes though. LOL

Teamed up with my brother to make a simple chicken soup. I boiled the water in a kettle, he mixed it with chicken better than bouillon and poured it into the pressure cooker. I put in the boneless skinless chicken thighs. Then I had to ask him where the soup setting was because I can't read anything on the pressure cooker (not enough light and it has weird font that is too small for me to see). Later on I tossed in a couple of eggs and whisked them around. It was very soothing to eat. Mom had two helpings and really enjoyed it. We'll have to get more chicken and btb as well as some veggies to mix in next time.

Chicken noodle soup sounds good. I admit, I prefer the noodle-O type because the regular noodles always end up dangling on my chin. LOL. I need to find mom's recipe for drop noodles, which her grandmother called kanadle (kah nayd lee). It's almost like dumplings. Batter is dropped into hot water from a spoon. She always made that with her chicken paprikash soup. I don't remember all of the ingredients but she would boil a whole chicken, add some seasonings- only one I know for sure was Hungarian sweet paprika-- then add in the drop noodles. Once it was done cooking she mixed in sour cream.
Grilled cheese and ham with a couple sweet gherkins on the side.
Wife bought a couple lbs of shrimp. Mixed up some sauce with the last of the Inglehoffer Horse radish we had. Need to buy more
I didn't want to slog out in the snow to hit the grocery store to cook dinner tonight, so it's leftover Chinese for us tonight. One dinner from our local restaurant is good for three large sized meals. $13.95 for a plate of Chinese food sounds high to me, until you break that down into cost-per-meal. It's actually a pretty good bargain. I get the Kung Pao Chicken tonight, and the wife gets the Sesame Shrimp.
Picking around tonight! Cheese sticks with marinara, shrimp with cocktail sauce!! Watching fireworks, redneck locals
! Waiting on t-storms. Beer and music, trying to stay up to ring in 22!!

Tbone, steak fries, and salad.
Round two in a couple of hours: veggies and dip, dark chocolate cream pie, and rumaki
I'll pass on the rumaki

We had early chili, the new one without beans. Corn chips and guacamole (store bought). Thinking about making some steamed shrimp. Some of yall make it sound like the food to eat for this evening. We were going to make chex snack mix but now I've eaten all the peanuts. LOL Forgot to buy more. Still couldn't find much wheat chex.
I love Rumaki! and that chocolate pie sounds damn good!
Nothing better than bring in the new year with a good night's sleep! I go to bed EARLY every night, except this night every year!! Ya'll have a GREAT one!!

I think there is a version of rumaki that is made with water chestnuts and bacon, not liver.

Learn something new every day! I'd never heard the word "Rumaki". So I looked it up... I've seen liver in a blanket just like I've seen pigs in a blanket, just never heard the word "Rumaki". Not a liver fan so I'll continue to pass.
I vacuum sealed up a big pkg of ground chuck this afternoon for the freezer. I had .314 ounces of beef left over but no buns. I made a burger on toasted white bread, yummy!

I didn't know either. I would eat liver. If there isn't much else to eat.

I cut a thick piece of bacon in half, roll up a piece of raw liver and a slice of water chestnut. Secure it with a toothpick and broil. We just finished a game of skipbo and they're in the oven.
Honey baked ham and smoked cheddar omelettes.
Spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic cheese bread!
Black eyed peas and polish sausage. It's traditional for New Years Day.

OK, I will Sojer. There was a funny thing on youtube going around a few years ago...a (possibly drunk) young lady was telling someone, "I'm nacho friend". We like to play games with that word.
..Ahh, Tequila.. 
Ok, ahem..

Black eyed peas with smoked turkey necks, cornbread and collard greens.
We had chicken pot pie
Do collard greens taste similar to anything else, as a reference point? I don't think I've ever had any before. I've always had a negative opinion of them, which is nothing more than an unfounded bias since I've never tried them! Just by looking at your picture of them, my brain is coming up with a bitter, Brussels sprouts-like taste in my imagination. But I like Brussels sprouts!
Maybe I did have collard greens before, but my brain is not remembering it if i did. My memory for things like that has always been pitiful.
