I kind of feel like a bear that's fattened up all summer and is ready to hibernate now....
Still working on that pot of beef stew! I've had it for lunch and dinner for a couple days now. I don't think I would ever get tired of it....
Chili tonight. It ain't that cold, but if I'm gonna have some this year we figured we better be doing it.
Sounds like a good plan. As soon as I'm done with the stew a big pot of chili is on!
What do you make cottage pie with? I figure anything with ground beef and mashed potatoes is a good thing....
Cottage pie would be traditionally made with lamb. With the ground beef it would be Sheppard's pie. And agreed, Mashed potatoes and ground beef are a great mix.
Cajun seasoned deep fried chicken, garlic butter mashed potatoes (reds), corn on the cob and salad.
pretty simple dinner
pretty simple dinner
Sounds like a good simple to me!
The butcher made me an offer on oxtail I couldn't refuse so I am cooking it in the slow cooker 'Chinese' style with oyster sauce, chillies, garlic, ginger, honey and orange. It smells wonderful! To be served with a panfull of stir-fried veg.
Oh no, no, no. 'Tis the other way round. Cottage Pie is made with ground Beef, Shepherds Pie with Lamb.
nope, wrong way round, Cottage pie- beef, Shepherds pie- lamb, hence the name shepherd.
As long as it's good I don't care what anyone calls it!Oh no, no, no. 'Tis the other way round. Cottage Pie is made with ground Beef, Shepherds Pie with Lamb.
I'm relaxing in front of the tv finally after a long hard day. The show on is called, 'Alaska, the last frontier'. There's a couple fishing on it and they are bringing in 5 to 10 lb fish one after another. I am so jealouse! Some good batter fried fish sounds pretty good right now.

That's what I thought. After all a shepherd tends sheep, not cattle, right?
I have made "hunter's pie" with venison. In fact, thanks for reminding me, I have some venison stew meat I need to use to make another hunter's pie.
When I was small, muy mum had a recipe she called Hunters Pie. We weren't well off and Hunter's Pie consisted whatever meat my Dad had 'hunted' up, topped with potato. Sometimes it was rabbit or hare maybe a gamebird, occasionally venison, but that was only if he came across a fresh roadkill. I know we had Squirrel a time or two, you got so you didn't ask what was in that pie! The scariest was when you asked what was for dinner and mum just said 'pie'. You knew it was a meat free night then.
Just finished puting a big pot of chili together, and got the kitchen cleaned up. Now after simmering for 5 or 6 hours I'll have lunch and dinner for the next couple days. I really love one pot meals.
seeing how it's only me today.and that im taking a break from house cleaning..mac n cheese with tuna today,and tonight..
I don't eat too many things from a box, but really love that sweet cornbread! You can't go wrong with jiffy! I've gotten to where I don't even like real cornbread now., unless I drizzle syrup over it.
I'm a Cornbread lover too, but we don't get Jiffy Cornbread mix here. HOWEVER! I did a Google some time ago and came up with this.....
Jiffy Cornbread Mix
4 cups flour
4 cups cornmeal
2 cups nonfat dry milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Combine all until well blended.
USE FOR CORN BREAD:
Combine
1/4 cup melted butter or margarine in 8" square pan while preheating oven to 425ºF
1 egg, beaten
1 cup water or milk
2 1/3 cup Mix
Stir just to blend. Pour into pan greased
8" round pan and bake about 18-20 min.
USE FOR MUFFINS: Prepare batter as for Corn Bread and spoon into 12 greased medium muffin cups.
USE FOR CHEESE CORN BREAD: After turning Corn Bread batter into pan, sprinkle with 1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese

There's a host of mixes, seasonings and copycats to make yourself on the site.
i just ate a bowl of chicken soup i canned january 8th.. mmm mmm good

Tonight, for Valentine's Day...
Making some teriyaki stir fry chicken, peppers, onions, water chestnuts, baby corn...over fried rice
And dessert is strawberry shortcake ala mode (french vanilla ice cream, and vanilla pound cake). We're in the strawberry capital of the world, and the season just started, so they are PERFECT....
It sucks that it's the day before payday, and we had some unexpected bills come up (two truck repairs...water pump, then serpentine belt)...but this will still be nice.
At least I had a nice box of her favorite truffle chocolates, card, balloon, and roses for her to take into work today.
