rodentraiser Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Holly, that sounds so good. I just had a tuna melt tonight. I'm thawing another chicken breast overnight and I think I'll have sweet and sour chicken for dinner tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly sure what "slop on a shingle" is, but there was a video clip on Facebook about a little boy, maybe a year and a half old, with a Sloppy Joe sandwich on his highchair tray. He looked at it closely, lifted off the top bun, and announced his decision - "Poop, Mommy! This is poop!" And no way was he going to eat it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Creamed chip beef on toast used to be referred to as "s**t on a shingle", so I think Kellee might have meant an expurgated version of that. We hit our favorite lunch pot in Foley today after dropping off all our tax stuff at the accountant's, and I had their version of a reuben; a patty melt on rye toast that was heavenly. Tonight's supper will be light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazhina Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Chicken parmesan today. After having veal parmesan at a very good local Italian restaurant I realized what I had been doing wrong all these years. The dish tastes so much better if you let the breaded cooked chicken bake a little while enrobed in sauce and cheese. Yesterday was meatloaf. That and spaghetti sauce are my 2 go to meals when I don't feel like thinking about the recipe for dinner. I can make those 2 dishes on automatic drive. No planning or thinking involved. Otherwise I'm one of those cooks who needs a good recipe to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I have a Moosewood recipe for a stuffed eggplant that I used to take off on shrimp pireaux that was tasty, so I have acorn squash halves in the oven now to try them; DH called them "squash coracles" when I described it to him.

Hi Holly, sorry I haven't been here for a few days. Basically, my tuna melts are just grilled cheese sandwiches with tuna on them. A 6 oz can used to make 2 sandwiches using regular bread. Now that the cans are down to 5 oz, I get that extra wide bread, like Orowheat or something similar. A 5 oz can of tuna will fit nicely on that bread, making one largish sandwich. I just mix a can of tuna with maybe a tablespoon or so of mayonnaise and a teaspoon or so of sweet relish and then spoon it on the bread and add a slice or two of cheese on top. Then I just make it like a grilled cheese sandwich, buttering the outside of the bread first and cooking it in a fry pan. I try to keep the tuna mix a little dry, so I don't add that much mayonnaise. If there's too much it gets sloppy to flip in the pan. You could add anything you want to the tuna mix, salt, pepper, paprika, parsley, whatever your taste buds desire. I make chicken salad sandwiches the same way, except instead of relish, I add chopped celery and toasted almonds along with the mayonnaise. By the way, the regular Albacore tuna from Trader Joe's is the best. I pay about $1.69 a can when I go there, but it really tastes much better than anything you get the supermarket. What is a Moosehead recipe? Dinner last night was hamburger in chicken flavored Rice-a-Roni. Tonight I think I'm making a either a Balsamic BBQ glazed pork roast or a Chinese BBQ pork roast. Depends on which one looks easier. I have the rest of the potatoes I need to get rid of as well. I'm not sure if they're even safe to eat, so I better check those out.

havanaholly Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Kelly, the recipe I started from is for Transylvanian eggplant casserole from the Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant cookbook. I prepped the acorn squash halves as I did the eggplant halves and simplified the rest of the process to accommodate various fillings. The last time we stayed at Pirate's Cove in Cedar Key we had supper one night at a little restaurant across the street and the chef asked us to try a new recipe she had just made up, acorn squash soup. Of course it was divine, and I managed to duplicate it when we got home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Well, I'm relieved. I thought maybe you were cooking something like a real moose head or something. I couldn't imagine......and I have a pretty vivid imagination! *pictured Holly turning a moose head on a spit* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Quarter to midnight - I'm making a chocolate on cream cheese base pie. Why? Who knows? I had the Balsamic BBQ glazed pork tonight with baked Dutch potatoes and that one is a keeper. That was good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazhina Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yesterday I found a recipe for a traditional Hungarian goulash which I'm going to try out tonight. I already have 2 goulash recipes, one is from the 50's, the other from the 70's, both fine, but very different from each other. This new one is supposed to be more like a thick soup. The ingredients are similar to a steak & peppers recipe I tried a few weeks ago which was pretty good. DH groans or makes faces when I say I'm making goulash. It's stew, he says. I reply, there's basic American stew, Hungarian stew, Italian stew, German stew, French stew - all different from one another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodentraiser Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 I guess I am having the Balsamic Pork Roast again tonight (and tomorrow night), since it made 4 portions and I need to eat it before it goes bad. And somehow I think the baked potatoes won't freeze well. Note to self: Cut up the pork roast next time! Next time I may make this balsamic sauce with chicken and have it over rice.

rodentraiser Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Well, I lied about last night. At the last minute, I decided to throw a jar of spaghetti sauce over hamburger and then cooked up some macaroni and cheese noodles for a tomato beef pasta. Tonight I'll have the scrambled eggs and bacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
