that sounds wonderful. I've got chicken thawing for some cream of chicken soup with rice. And then maybe some chicken frijatas I can't spell worth a darn. But I've been of a mexican food kick for about 2 weeks now. And since I still have taco mix I might as well. I'll have to go to the store for more fixings on thursday anyway. Thanks for the wonderful recipe Weezie.

That's A LOT of salt..if I were you Tammy, I'd cut that in half.

* * * *

I buy both...
Sometimes I don't want a whole cube..
Some meals, especially larger sizes,
I might use more..

Ummmmmmm,
I never cut up an onion, until I am ready to use it.. but I have cut half the onion and store in
the fridge to keep..

But I like it cut fresh as to not loose those juices from them..

But my father~in~law has been storing celery in tinfoil in the fridge and he's been able to keep it fresh for weeeeeeeeks now..

So, try it with it covered in foil and see how it works..

I bet the flavors would really be married inside together... more enhanced I'd bet...

Tammy, You can cut up the meat as well and mix them all together with any seasonings you may be using. It can all marinate together overnight if you are going to cook it all together tomorrow.

* * * *


We are all under the same stars... therefore we are never far apart.

Wish I had read this yesterday. Oh well. I'll keep it separate because I don't know the elders eating preferences. This way they can add what they want on leave what they don't. But the next time I cook them for myself I'm definitely going to try doing it that way. It does sound good.

* * * *

Whats for dinner......Hmmmmmmm....i dont know and i dont care as long as i dont have to make it tonight...after the week that i have had ...I'll let you know tomorow what i had

* * * *

lol, well the elders missed me yesterday so they are getting mexican tonight instead. Me I've got to chicken thighs I have to figure out what to do with. I was thinking teriaki until I noticed that I'm out of it. Anyone have any good suggestions. I'm trying to run out of things so I don't have to pack them or give them away.

* * * *

no I've been out of that for about 20 years lol. But you have given me an idea. My former roommate did leave some marinade. I think I'll try it out. At least I won't have to pack and move it. Thanks Weezie.

* * * *

Dinner tonight is.....Crab cakes and a seafood pasta...yummy

pasta with mayo and herbs,and green onions, crab, and shrimp with some feta cheese a tad of milk or cream.

crab cakes..on the back of Kellogg corn flake crumbs:-)

Weezie, boy do I hear that...I either get tired of cooking or not sure what to make, or not sure I want to clean up the mess;-)

I do not care for fast food, but it is hard to change it up and not get bored:-)nightly.

Tonight I am making Manicotti.. Very easy and yummy too

Of course the Manicotti Noodles
1 jar of pasta sauce.. I like the Barilla baking sauce for this..

1 8 oz container of Ricotta cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
2 cups of Mozzarella cheese
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of parsley
1/2 teaspoon Garlic
Mix together and let sit in the fridge for an hour .. I like to put it in a zip lock bag..
Cook the Manicotti Noodles as directed on the box.. Snip off the corner of the Zip Lock bag and squeeze the mixture into the noodles..
Cover with the Pasta sauce and I like to sprinkle more Mozzarella Cheese over the top..
Cover and Bake at 350 for 45 - 60 Minutes..

Tonight I am having friends for dinner... Hanibal Lector My Album

no problem. I think it would have been good if I would have put some diced celery in as well.

Right now, I'm waiting for my chicken to be done soaking in the cornstarch/ soy sauce combination....just a couple more minutes!!

* * * *

Tonight I made Tex-Mex Chicken Drumsticks, Mexican "Dirty Rice" and steamed Broccoli with zesty cheese sauce.

* * * *

Does anyone use apple cider vinegar in cooking?
I like some in spinach, chili, and spaghetti sauce. Really wakes up but somehow mellows even canned chili.
Just wondering if there are other uses for it in foods.
I LOVE white vinegar cucumbers, what's that called? You know, the ones with the fork marks down the sides of the cucumber?

* * * *

I love Apple Cider Vinegar.
*put it in my chicken wing sauce*

but I love it most on home grown
Romaine lettuce w/kosher or sea salt....

We had Chivetta's BBQ'd Chicken on the grill
*won't be able to do that for too many more weeks*
w/mashed 'taters`n gravy, french style green beans, bread `n butter and apple sauce......
peas
