Probably leftover chili. Dentist today so maybe I will pick up hot dogs and wheat buns and make chili dogs.

Any plans?

I just ate corned beef hash with poached eggs on top so dinner is not on my mind.

I have the other top sirloin steak to cook.

However Chili sure sounds good.
I will have to re-work my recipe big time. 1/2 c beans (19carbs) isn't how I am used to making it :sad: I can load up on the cheese & use some sour cream tho.


No Corn Bread :censored:

who knows by dinner time I may have something altogether differant on my mind.

Safeway Special- 7 bone Roast $1.99 lb.
The butcher cut me 4-big Meaty roasts, and trimmed thm well. Who says
big Grocery Stores don't have great customer service?

I just picked 3 lb's of Tomato's out of the garden.
We planted tomato's, Other than watering, we
let them go wild. No tomato cages, no weeding.
We got an fantastic organic crop.

Slow cooker Day- No one home till 11pm but me.

This is the start of it! LOL

I ate that big bowl of chili over brown rice and toppings last night. After 2 hours my sugar was 85.

DH wants the white eggplant growing in the backyard. DD and I will probably make a pizza. Just got a pizza stone.

You'll like the pizza stone. Crank up the oven to 450-500F and let the stone get nice & hot, and your pizza will be done in 5 minutes or so. I sometimes use it for bread as well.

Mama, how do you cook okra? I've sliced it, dipped it into beaten eggs and corn meal, and deep fried it. I've also sauteed it with garlic, onions, and tomatoes sometimes with bell pepper. DH is from Ohio but somehow he has acquired a taste for okra. Anyone else have favorites recipes?

JoeV I've already used the pizza stone. It really made a difference in the texture of the crust. I'm planning on using it when I bake bread.

We're just about to enjoy a couple of sazeracs...very few, if any, bartender makes a better sazerac than Lou.

First course is sauteed rainbow swiss chard topped with a napoleon of sweet potatoes, mission figs and goat cheese, topped with Miss Mary's homemade pepper jelly.

Dinner is two embarrassing large bone in rib eye steaks. Sweet potato gnocchi tossed with fresh cranberries, orange zest and chipotle. Sauteed mushrooms.

Believe the wine is a cabernet.

Dessert...well, I'm so in the weeds already, that I picked up two things at Whole Foods - a slice of carrot cake and a slice of triple chocolate mousse cake.

Sausage Cacciatori...

DW had a little. Hers was plain sausage, and mine was hot.

Peppers / onions / tomatoes / potatoes / garlic .
The best part..... I had like 8 chunks of cheese that formed into little soft pillows of deliciousness.

I had three of these little tiny plates. 5 slices of bread to use as a pusher.

DW has bread pudding in the oven.....not done yet!

All your dinners look terrific, everyone!

I had leftovers tonight - excellent, but not photo-worthy.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you Leni, I've been gone all day and just got home a little while ago.

I'm not a fan of boiled okra or pickled okra. My two favorite ways to have okra besides in gumbo or soups are fried and mixed with "stewed okra and tomatoes". Here's my recipe for fried okra, and here's the okra and tomatoes

lifesaver...I do exactly the same to my soup. I just grab the cracker (s), in my palm, and squeeze over the bowl of soup.
DW...HATES when I do that. Especially when in a diner or restaurant.
Even at home she hates that.

SO, I now do it in my linin napkin; or paper napkin, and I thought that would be a more proper etiquite to crush the crackers. LOL hahahahahahaha:yum:



Mmmm! that looks delicious.

Thank you lsvr... The sausage was too good, and I ate too much.

I would have a tomato soup and crackers for a snack, but the soup is not the same as it was a few years ago. It is tasteless.
Campbells soup that is. That's the soup DW buys.

Good food pics here and sounds like everyone filled their tummies with delicious goodies.

Oooo! Sass....I love snickers bars.
I can't wait for DW to start buying the candy for trick or treat.
We put it in a Big Big beer and soda ice bucket filled to the top.

Then in the quiet of night...you could hear either my hands or DW's hands digging for our favorite candy... We each scold each other. She will say,"HONnnnn...Stop already...I heard you digging in the candy 5 times already. hahahahahahaha

My motto is..."It's More Fun when you sneak!"

LOL too funny Jimmy.
Yep, I buy the treats for the trick or treat kiddos then find myself sampling a little.
I don't really like a lot of candy or desserts as a rule, but when I want something, I REALLY want it, as was the case with my new BFF, Sistah Snickers bar tonight.:yum:

I swear..that's me too. I don't normally eat candy, but when it hits...I make a hog of it.
Same with ice cream. Maybe three times a year I wish for Ice cream.
When I get a cone, I tell the girl.."Only one scoop...even if I get two, I only want one.

Now Tina on the other hand Ha Ha Ha Ho Ho Ho... She LOVES Candy. You should she her stash. hahahaha.... She could open up a candystore.
she would kill me if she ever found out I squealed on her.
She ate so many strawberry twizzlers and those good and plendys..that she passed out, and she was like drunken like a alcoholic.

Thanks Mama. Both recipes sound good. We'll see which one he prefers. We picked a bunch of okra over the last couple of days.
