What Are You Having For Dinner

[snappy1]

Not


Not sure Snappy, but I am thinking
A egg or milk. Wash. Dredge in a corn meal/brown sugar. Dry mixture and bake at 350. We do that to think cut bacon

I was thinking he just used seasonings, but maybe a light coating too. Thanks!

You may be right I am just guessing
Maybe he will tell us when he wonders through

This sandwich is correctly prepared
Mayo, extra pepper, and salt
I did not have any bacon,
Have you seen the price of bacon? Damnnnnnnn!!!!

I do not drink beer, play poker or chase women. So I can afford bacon .
Give me Bacon or give death .

 

[Magus]

I can make better bacon than you can buy just by seasoning ham slices.

Had some thick-sliced, hickory-smoked bacon in an old-fashioned BLT this morning, well after my usual fruit juice and some delicious sweet cherries! I could've added cheese and leftover BBQ material to my BLT, but I wanted one like we used to get in the good ol' days: nothing but toast, mayo, bacon, lettuce & tomato! Man, that BLT was delicious!

That sandwich disappeared in record time... last pic doesn't do it justice, it was actually pretty thick, lol. Tonight I'll have some leftover pasta, that sauce will be mighty tasty after sitting in the fridge overnight! I have some pics of yesterday's batch of sauce, I normally go with the Classico brand but Prego was cheaper, lol. I added paste too, so that helped...

I put too many noodles on my plate, so I couldn't put as much sauce on at first... had to scoop out & eat the center of the plate first, then redistribute the remaining noodles and cover 'em with more sauce, lol. Needless to say, the pasta dinner entree did NOT suck, lol... heaps o' chunky veggies and plenty o' beef! Got plenty o' sauce left too, WOOHOO!!!

P.S. Tomorrow, AFTER I knock out some home rehab work (lol), I'm gonna make a BLT with Swiss Cheese and BBQ material (yardbird or steak, dunno which yet). I'm thinking that sandwich will be mighty tasty, lol...

 

[Bacpacker]

Love me a good BLT. And yours looked GOOOOOD.
We had pork chops, fried taters, and some of the freshly canned banana peppers. Couldn't wait to crack a jar of those. They are good

 

[Patchouli]

someone fixed chicken in the crockpot, leftover corn on cob -- nice and cold right outta the fridge. Don't know what else.

 

[hashbrown]

First home grown BLT of the year!

 

[ABR]

Probably do a toasted sandwich tonight. Maybe some salad with it

 

[Peanut]

Summer veggies for supper, peas, okra, green beans, cantaloupe and tomato slices.

 

[sonya123]

my dinner last night: ice water and a bowl of vegetable soup ( only vegetables)

are you on my diet too??

 

[Peanut]

are you on my diet too??

Diet, No! Family tradition to help tolerate the heat of July and August. Digesting meat generates more heat than veggies. As it happens, there’s a surplus of veggies during the hot months. In the deep south, if you’re working outside and want to avoid heat stroke, lay off the meat, especially red meat. For protein I rely more heavily on eggs and fish.

In these modern times with air conditioning it’s not as critical. But, until a couple years ago I still cut hay in July and august. Eggs at breakfast, no bacon or sausage, maybe tuna salad for lunch but lots of veggies and fruits. Red meat for dinner if needed since I can sit under the air conditioning at night.

But old habits are hard to break, summer is veggie time. I still eat a lot of veggie only meals. Natural cycle, in winter I eat a lot more meat, lots of carbs, sometimes meat only meals. I also tend to put on an extra 15 or 20 pounds in winter. I lose it in summer but not by design. I don’t care what the scale says, just coping with the heat.

Have to tell this, I was in boot camp in florida in august. I told the guys from up north to lay off meat at lunch. They didn’t listen at first, every afternoon they’d drop like flies while training outside in the sun. Some began to listen and tolerated the heat much better.

 

[Wingnut]

There's science behind that, Peanut! When a person eats, blood goes to his or her stomach wall to aid in digestion, which means the blood is NOT circulating throughout the system and helping a person to stay cool! Heavy meals in hot weather are really NOT a good idea... that's why some foods are 'seasonal' for me, though I DID just make a big ol' batch of pasta & sauce, lol. I probably won't do that again until fall, as such meals just sit too heavily on my stomach in hot weather.

Not sure what I'm having tonight, maybe some leftover BBQ and a green salad on the side... first I gotta water in the yard, that goldurned rain failed to appear again. If this were a courthouse, there'd be a warrant out for the rain's arrest!

 

[Pearl]

Chicken and beef fajitas!! Assemble your own!!

 

[Curmudgeon]

Lasagna and garlic toast side of cottage cheese.

 

[Magus]

Chili dogs smothered in peppers and onions. probably a pepper steak on a bun later.

 

[Pearl]

I made chicken fried steak last night. Repeat meal tonight!!

 

[Wingnut]

Some kinda leftovers... or maybe breakfast for dinner, the way Hashbrown does it. Dunno yet, but I gotta go out and water the yard first, it has been heller dry here.

 

[Patchouli]

wait, we're still supposed to eat? I've no clue. Who can stand to eat with the heat n all? Just takes me appetite away.
Gazpacho sounds like a good idear. But in the meantime, munching on peanuts, grapes, cheese. Maybe gazpacho tomorrow.
In the other meantime, leftovers or steam up some shrimp.

 

[joel]

Chicken breast, cooked carrots & steamed broccoli.
Reminds me of why I married my wife, being pretty was a plus, but she could do thing with her hand, like cooking & sewing.

 

[Bacpacker]

Scrambled eggs and cheese in a tortilla

 

[Shawn Burkett]

Sloppy Joe's, corn salad, chips, and plain salad.

I have something that really works on being hot also: smoothie with yogurt and bananas. It actually makes me too cold in winter so I only have this in warmer months. But the meat I didn't know. I usually make a few vegetarian meals every week.
It's not really that hot here, we don't have a/c. On hot days it hovers around 80 most of the time. Plus I got used to being out on construction sites in the middle of summer in Florida with long pants , work boots and hard hat. Your body gets used to it
Well diet is over , so today I am making lamb burgers, green beans and potatoes. Beans from the garden of course, I picked a bucket full yesterday and there is more to pick

 

[snappy1]

Bacon wrapped Green chile and cream cheese stuffed chicken breasts. Mashed potatoes and green beans. Dh and I split one piece of chicken.

 

[Pearl]

I'm putting a turkey breast and 'baked' potatoes in the crock pot. And Bushes Baked Beans. I prefer making my own, but in this heat Bushes it is!

 

[Bacpacker]

Bushes beans are pretty good.

 

[Magus]

Chicken-fried steak sandwich and yogurt with bananas in it.

 

[Curmudgeon]

I think General Tso's atm.

 

[Wingnut]

Leftover pasta, I stored the sauce separately and it tastes really good after being in the fridge for a few days, lol. I'll slap together a side salad as well, even though my chunky pasta sauce is loaded with ground beef &veggies.
