I had a great brunch with mom and sis today, salmon, green beans with french fried onions, rice, egg frattata, ham, sausage, pulled pork, salad and rolls. Champagne and Mimosa was served but we passed on the that, LOL!! Mom and sis are recovered alcoholics.

For dinner, hubby and I are bbqing (Cali style) hamburgers with potato salad and a raw veggie spread of celery, green onions, jalapenos, tomatoes, and broccoli. Enjoy the day everyone!

" sliders " havent heard that terminology since the army. id just get them to slide them onto my plate. with the meat and fries i just didnt need all that bread.
of course i have a cool mess hall story. one morning a rather big mouthed kid is making his way thru the line just annoying everyone around him when suddenly a cook who was frying eggs hopped the counter and wordlessly beat him down, then rehopped the counter, put his hat back on and never burnt an egg. man thats timing.. the little creep sthu too..

I'm a terrible cook because I have absolutely no interest at all in cooking. This Easter morning, I was going to have peanut butter on toasted bread.

To you all, this was a simple breakfast. For me, it was complicated because I rarely cook and truly never grew up seeing how food was cooked. I’m learning from watching the Food Network channel. (Our mom always shooed us away from the kitchen. She did all the cooking.) I fried the rice first with just butter and soy sauce. Put it aside. Sauteed the onions with butter (yes we have Crisco oil but ...), threw in sausages, put it aside when done. Because I still did not know how I wanted my eggs. I cracked 3 eggs onto the pan. Sunny side up? Over easy? Scrambled? I cringed as I sprinkled some salt into the eggs as I debated. In the end, I did the Over Easy, then quickly dumped it onto the meat/onions and quickly did a token scrambling of the ingredient. This way, I still have the lumpy eggs stuck together and not spread out as one does with scrambles. A good compromise. As usual, my food always lack salt. But I am so happy with the outcome. For once, I did not undercook the fried rice or burnt the bottom but the top was still cold from being in the fridge. Nor was the eggs overcooked (usually comes out so dry). Overall, my food was bland but moist. I really need to overcome my aversion to using salt.

Sigh… When I was frying the rice, the rice kept falling off the non-stick pan. Made a mess. I got fed up because the rate I was going, I would have more rice on the stove than in the pan. I took a spoon, used it along with the rubber spoon so that both hands were mixing the rice together. Much better control on preventing the rice from leaving the pan and unto the stove than using one hand to hold the pan while the other tried to turn the food.

Argh! I just pulled the blunder assandache7 told us about. The timer went off, I checked the brownies, and discovered that the oven was off!! :( Brownies are pretty hard to ruin, but I'm not sure how they'll react to sitting in a warm over for 40 minutes before actually getting to bake.

jeanne. ive never rolled dough to make stuffed rolls. just roll it into a ball and stretch it out by hand on a floured board. 30 % whole wheat flour makes em sweet .
im making 15 been soup tonight with cornbread tonight.. it will never be as good as ednas cornbread. that nut usedta grind up spicy cracklin style onion rings in hers, but she'll eat it or ill punch her in the face. i think im going to be going to live with her this monday. i made the offer and it looks like doc took me seriously. lol .. she nursed me back to health 15 yrs ago during a particularily wicked hepc tx and subsequent divorce. this is a debt im repaying. this could all work out wonderfully. my kid could get up here and keep the bats swatted out of the bunker and i could give edna the care she needs. hes going to have to give up the blunts and make with some responsibility but im guessing hes wishing someone would give him the nudge to do it anyway. nudging, i can do . my homemade sledgehammer is so heavy most people cant even pick it up ..

Chicken-veggie stir fry in a light sweet and sour sauce with lo mein on the side. (the stir fry's mine but the lo mein is leftover take-out). LOVE crispy stir fried veggies - I could eat them every night but the prep work is such a pain in the a**. I'm admittedly OCD when it comes to slicing and chopping. Hubs is always yanking my chain about it ;)

I discovered a recipe on Rhodes website for a bread load with the sandwich filling baked in. I've never made it using their filling recipe, but I loved the idea and have done other fillings. Tonight I did a Gizmo version. The hard part for me is getting the bread dough rolled out into a rectangle. I thought I'd better practice because I'm planning to serve these loaves at a family party in a week. I did a little better tonight, but it still is hard. The outcome was outstanding, though. It would have gone better with a tossed greens salad, but I wanted to use up some fruit so we had fruit salad. Definitely a keeper I'll be making for the party.

I'm getting back into cooking lately with MIL in rehab! She hardly like anything I cook ( I'm a culinary school graduate and was personal chef to a millionaire in California in my younger days!), and I have to watch her diet and hubby is diabetic. We have been enjoying going out to eat again lately without the guilt of leaving her home alone and getting the "wish I could go out" from her! Pasta night tonight at our local favourite restaurant so no cooking tonight but will try some of these delicious recipes on here.

Jeanne, you sound like an amazing cook! Yes, we had a Seder at my house Monday night and we were invited to (and attended) a Seder at my ex's house last night with all my kids and grandson and loads of other people. We use props to explain the 10 plagues to the little ones--including ping pong balls for hail--which keeps everyone attentive and engaged!

" whats for dinner "
this makes me recall a couple of guys i used to work in the " too " close proximinity of -- a trim carpenter and a painter. to say that these guys were unmotivated would be the understatement of all time. when theyd get to work in the am, the first hour of work would be discussion about where they were going to have lunch at today. then theyd talk about the " band " lighting for the next and so on until before you know it, it would be time for lunch. i dont believe i ever saw either of them do anything and by the time the builder would catch up to them each day theyd be " out to lunch " . the builder died at the age of 45 -- i s'pose he just gave up..

I had my spinal tap today, so I planned an easy dinner. Remember those Bisquick recipes for "impossible" pies -- you poured a batter over stuff in a pie plate and it sunk to the bottom and formed a crust? I think they were first popular in the 80s. I made an "impossibly easy taco pie" for dinner and served Fritos with it. A good quickie for tax night.

The first times I participated in progressive suppers several of us high school friends tromped through the snow to one another's houses. I remember doing the dessert course and serving cherry pie one time.
