The fifth and last meal of Indian take out that I got on Saturday.

 

[Patchouli]

Yesterday was a roast seasoned with cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper, soy sauce, in a vegetable broth this time. Browned it first. Had mashed taters, precious. Made a mushroom gravy for a first time, turned out excellent. Will be doing that more often.
Today threw some frozen mussels in garlic butter in shells in a pan. That is rare for us to have those. It was good.

It's Tuesday, so it must be tacos.

 

[hashbrown]

This meal always makes me think of my childhood. Deer loin, fried potatoes and a big pan of biscuits and gravy.

 

[backlash]

I made fried cabbage with German sausage.
It has become my favorite low carb food.
It will last for 3 or 4 meals.
My wife can't eat it because it would mess up her stomach so I can add a lot of Cajun seasoning.

 

[ABR]

Gonna do taco salad tonight. Probably make kitchen sink soup this weekend

 

[Amish Heart]

Chicken with barbeque sauce, green salad, fruit salad, baked potato, and cauliflower

Please do a follow up when your done with the case. How old are they?

 

[Pearl]

I'm not sure how old. I can't understand what the codes on them mean. I know there expired, because I got them in 2011.

 

[Bacpacker]

I've got a case from the late 90's. Guess I should unpack that box and check them out. I thought they were good (relative term) for 25 years. No idea where I heard that.

Mine are from April 2011. They only have a 5 year shelf life, but some items can last much longer. It's freeze-dried foods that can last 25+ years.

 

[Bacpacker]

Well I need to dig mine out and toss them

Save them for when we are like Argentina and government raiders show up. Have them hidd3n under your bed and beg them not to take your MRE's. Of course have your good food hidden extremely well.

Check them out first.......

 

[Weedygarden]

Patty melt.

 

[Spikedriver]

Sirloin tenders and hash browns

 

[Haertig]

Virgin Island Sandwiches (a name my wife and I gave them after the first place we ate them - in a restaurant named "L'Escargot" in St. Thomas). Toast some sourdough bread (helps keep it from getting soggy), top it with a thick sliced piece of smoked ham, sliced tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. Some salt and pepper on top, then bake for a while until cheese is melted, bubbly and browning in spots. It's an open faced hot sandwich (no bread on top) that you eat with knife and fork. Don't know if my wife and I's variation is exactly what they served us at L'Escargot 40 years ago, but it's the best we could remember and reconstruct it.

 

[Magpie]

Chicken casserole in the slow cooker, with mash and veg

 

[Pearl]

Made burritos last night, round 2 tonight!!

 

[snappy1]

Spaghetti Pie, green beans with bacon and onions, garlic bread and Strawberry Eclair Icebox Cake for dessert.

I think I am going to give this a try. Not one healthy thing in it. Right up my alley. Eat this and the next thing you hear will be your veins slamming shut.

I used to make that same casserole! I learned it from one of my Dad's Air Force buddies who had retired out east of Oklahoma City. We always called it "Okie Casserole" in honor of him...

 

[Bacpacker]

We had a late lunch, Chicken salad on a Home made roll the wife made yesterday. It was killer. Just had some macaroni with mushroom soup for supper to tied us over.

 

[Spikedriver]

Tonight's dinner at The Spice Thai Kitchen in Ames, Iowa. Spicy Peanut chicken for me, and Beef Pad Thai for my daughter.
