Sorry that dinner was ruined, Send.

Pasta is one of those things that can’t be salvaged if it doesn’t cook properly.

Husband has been trying to cook once a week the last month. One meal, was suppose to be a pinch of red pepper flakes, he put in a teaspoon, yesterday he decided to make beef stew, he put in 1 tablespoons of black pepper.

And he doesn't even like hot foods, so no clue what he is thinking. 😆

If he cooks again I think I'm going to hide all the peppery spice's

Enjoying cooking with my dH in the past. We are a team, usually.

Hoping the kitchen glitches, criticism, argumentative behaviors pass by soon.
His and mine!
It is not like me to ever throw away food, even if it's not the best tasting.

Putting pasta on the 'do not cook' list for awhile for when I can build up more patience.

nacy - hide them for sure!!!

send - you could cook pasta ahead of time (when that demon isn't around) and freeze it for later use.

Cabbage fritters again tonight

Anxiety,

Some like it hot! 🥵 Sounds like your husband likes it very hot. I love spicy food. My husband is a wuss when it comes to heat.

Thanks, Golden.

I love cabbage but I have never cooked fritters. Will have to try that sometime.

My husband and I cook together well. My only complaint is that I am faster than he is. He takes his sweet time prepping. I can run circles around him by the time he is done.

Snowed in CO last night, so we made stew. Husband cooks the meat because I don't know how and left to me I'd leave it out. Then after hours of simmering I put the veggies in with the meat in an order that assures they will not be over cooked. He would over cook them. Chives and onions from the garden. Tonight we will have the left over stew because it is even colder outside now. I might make some biscuits to go with it if I stop painting in time.

I stuck a chicken and some veggies (potatoes, carrot, onions) in my little oven, the chicken is done but the veggies are still hard. Do I eat the chicken or wait?

Can you stick the veggies in the microwave, maybe finish the cooking

Hot dogs, TGIF potato skins. 😂 I did put them in the air fryer so that makes them healthy, right?

I cranked the temperature up to 450°F and put it in speed convection mode while the chicken rested, the onions got a little burnt but the crispy potatoes make up for it 🤤

nacy - sure 😉

cw - sounds good!

Talking about making lemon into lemonade, I experimented by using my food processor to make coleslaw. It might have been ok with just the carrots and cabbage, but I decided to add an apple as well. Just after processing it was OK but shortly it became very mushy and wet. Not nice for a salad!!!

Hmmm! What to do with this large bowl of shredded goodies?

Light bulb moment!!! 💡 I'll make fritters! So I tossed in some almond flour, a couple of eggs, and a sprinkling of cornstarch and mixed. The first two were still too wet, so more dry stuff went in and they were fine after that. In fact they were good with that tangy sweet apple taste added to the cabbage and carrot. R ate them happily with sour cream. I like mine plain so I can taste the veggies/fruit.

Question: Does anyone here use a food processor to make coleslaw? Wondering if I can shred the cabbage and carrots with it and then just do the apple by hand. Its a nice addition to slaw.

Thinking of trying cabbage fritters made with Panko bread crumbs for Sunday morning breakfast.
I have never made fritters!
Must wait until dH get up.

I do Golden! When I'm making slaw for a crowd I'll get out the big food processor with the slicing blade for the cabbage and the grating blade for the carrots. When I'm making it for just me I get out my mini food chopper and just chop everything together into a fine dice, it's not traditional but it tastes just as good and it's nostalgic for me because my grandmother (who was toothless) used to grate her cabbage that way.

Quite the fascinating program on Netflix under documentaries about our GUT genomes. Goofy cartoonish little microbes running around, but the research and the individual stories quite interests.
For tonight? My infamous Thai Basil Chicken again.

Alva, I saw a show on PBS a few years ago where researchers gave mice with Parkinsons symptoms fecal transplants and their symptoms went away. It was astonishing. I will look up the gut genome show on Netflix. Do you know the name?

TEA!! We girls went for tea again,, and we all brought the dessert leftovers and scones home, after the soup .salad, and sammies we were stuffed!! We even wear fascinators!. And after looking at my MILs packed up china in my sunroom for years.. the lady who owns the tea house was happy to take it!! Why did I not offer it before? My DD and I finally thought "who would use this?" No one wants fancy china anymore. So I called her and offered it free, or else it was going to be donated. I am still sitting on some of my parents stuff! And I have a baby shower here in 2 weeks, so I am getting my butt in gear. Slowly, as I am recovering from my first bout of sciatica..

PamZ: Good for you and hope that you're recovering well from the sciatica. I had one round of that and don't want another ever!

Thanks cw. The cabbage and carrot were ok shredded together, (like your dice I guess) but the apple made it too mushy. The recipe suggested cutting the apple into "matchstick" size. I was trying to save myself some work, but if I want apple in it I'll have to hand cut it. I do have a slicer blade - it's on the the reverse side of my grater blade. For R and I, I make fairly large amounts and it gets eaten. I working at incorporating more veggies in our meals.

Alva - recipe please for infamous Thai chicken!!! Gut bugs are involved in all kinds of things in our bodies and we need to feed them properly. I'm sure they like Thai chicken!!!

Geaton - that's very interesting!!!

Pam - another wonderful tea and wearing fascinators!!! So glad you found a home for the china. Hope the sciatica goes away and stays away!

rogerwy - always good!

llama - hope you never get the sciatica back!!!

Sunday I finally cooked that large beef roast I had in the freezer and it turned out well. Served it with mashed potatoes and gravy, roasted carrots and onions, and Yorkshire puddings. You can buy them frozen now which makes life a lot easier!!!

I cooked up some chicken broth the other day but what I was really craving is some good old vegetarian lentil soup, so I froze the chicken broth and made that instead.... I'm having some now, it was the right choice (yum)!

I typically eat very healthy meals. We went to our jazz and heritage festival yesterday and it’s all about great music and food!

So, we got all of our favorites! Had a great time. We walked plenty at the festival so, hopefully that helped with our indulgences! 😝

We are having roasted pork loin seasoned with my favorite pepper jelly that I buy from a local farmers market and veggies tonight for dinner.

Yesterday I had pheasant, duck and andouille gumbo, trout baquet, crawfish Monica and mango freeze at the festival. All are delicious!

Good news for avocado lovers like me!

I just googled if it is okay to eat a whole avocado in a day.

Here’s what I found online from RDN, Kim Kulp (specializes in gut health) and RDN, Stephanie Wells. (specializes in being vegan)

Eating avocados will help improve your health in these five ways:

1) More energy

2) Improved digestion

3) Your heart health will improve

4) Avocados support good eye
health

5) You might find yourself in a better
mood

The dietitians say that it’s fine to eat an entire avocado instead the recommended amount of one third, as long as you add enough protein and healthy carbs into your diet to be balanced.

The article also states that certain people should not eat a whole avocado every day because it affects them negatively.

I love making avocado sandwiches on Dave’s thin sliced whole grain bread, I add shredded carrots, diced tomatoes, sprouts, garlic and red onion and a bit of cheese (white cheddar, Gouda, provolone) whatever cheese I have on hand.

What are your favorite plant based sandwiches? I do eat meat on sandwiches, but I find that I am eating less meat overall.
