I spent a good part of yesterday cooking for breakfasts and lunches
for work this week. Does that count?? I prepared over medium eggs
for breakfasts and baked 3 lemon chicken breasts, then fixed a large
bowl of potato salad. But I did cheat and opened a can of Bush's
country style baked beans and did a bit of doctoring on them. That
was the extent of my culinary efforts for work.

I cook, but it's too boring to talk about. Lessee.

Sunday I roasted a turkey, so DH would have leftovers for lunches.
Monday: pork chops, marinated in kochujang and then grilled, served
with plain white rice.
Tuesday: spaghetti (defrosted homemade sauce); he had Italian sausage
(previously cooked/frozen/defrosted), I shredded up a little turkey on
a salad
dressed with balsamic vinaigrette.
Wednesday: Defrosted "taco meat". He had nachos; I had a burrito.
We both had salads with each of those dinners.
Tonight we're either going out or having breakfast for dinner.

Three days this week I've had homemade vegetable soup (inspired by
the pasta fagioli thread); yesterday I went out for sushi.

There. On topic and pretty uninteresting.

I cook constantly too, but who after reading the crap people say to the real
Lucas and most others who post about their cookery would put up something
and wait for the you know what?

Asked, I answer. Puzzled, I ask. This is a very hostile environment. I
live too close to Iraq and need no more hostility.

Oh yes, I still cook stuff. Yesterday's breakfast was lightly fried
fresh corn tortillas until crisp, scrambled in some eggs. As I was
out & about during the day, I had a late dinner of sliced beef quickly
stir fried and rice. Tomorrow afternoon is my day to prepare the
lunch for the small synagogue of which I'm a member. I never know if
how many will be showing up for lunch can be 10 or 20 people. So,
there will be vegetarian lasagna, green salad (variety of dressings)
gefilte fish (re-heating the liquid with a fresh carrot &
refrigerated) and horseradish, herring in wine, challa, bagels,
whipped cream cheese with lox, plain cream cheese, sliced cucumbers
marinated in a vinegar/sugar dressing, yellow cake (with added
yogurt) fresh fruit plate, and probably an Israeli Salad (finely
chopped parsley, diced tomatoes, radishes, green onions, with a lemon
& olive oil dressing).

I've also started to cook food for Handsome Harley, my new roommate.
(Corgidor -- head & legs of a Corgi, body, feet, & tail of a yellow
lab) I did a test run of chicken legs cooked in the pressure cooker
with vegetable broth, and cooked separately barley, carrots, green
beans, oatmeal. Mixed it all in the Cruisinart & packaged into
patties that I froze 3/package. So far, he's eaten all that he gets. I
do, however, mix it with the dry food.

Bless your heart - so glad you asked; we just grilled some chicken, pork
rashers and several lamb chops too. And for the health fanatics in our
family there's also a green salad - comprising of iceberg lettuce,
chopped red bell peppers, sliced white button mushrooms and grape
tomatoes... Oh, and some crumbled feta cheese.

Any other questions?

On the stovetop right now: long-cooking spaghetti sauce

In the oven: pot roast

On the counter: dough rising for citron-orange-peel toasted almond
breakfast bread, 4 or 5 loaves

On the schedule: zucchini bread

In the freezer: steak, chicken, and pork tenderloin

We'll have guests for a few days, business partner from Sweden and his

prepared.

There is a wonderful one-finger salute for the stuff that bothers you.
It's called DELETE and it works quite well. I've been a Usenet junkie

RFC has always been more off topic than on topic... for many that's
the draw... that's why there are more subscribed than all other
cooking groups combined. You sound like you'd be much happier with a
Moderated cooking group.

Tomorrow (2010-09-24) is good for me... It's not only our National
Heritage Day (which is a public holiday here) but it's become known
as 'National Braai Day' too.

Like I need an excuse <laugh>; got over a kilogram of fillet
(tenderloin) steak ready and waiting in the fridge for the Big Day
tomorrow. Methinks that (my version of) potato salad wouldn't do any
harm as a side dish either.

I recommend a news service with good spam filtering. news.individual.net is
good, and relatively cheap. A news reader that can kill threads and block
crossposts will take care of most of the rest.

When I take a gander at other folks' grocery carts, I have to wonder
too. Everything seems to fall into the junk/convenience category. I
pray the day doesn't come when we can't find basic ingredients on the
shelves, like flour, oils,etc.

It's easy for me to skip the worthless posts. Lucas always misspells
something in his title, for example.

I made bread yesterday. Tonight it's a turkey black bean burger with
peppers and onions added in. Steamed Br. sprouts on the side.

Congrats on your killfiling! Here's a dish I made the other day - fried
spaghetti. Make this whenever you have some leftover pasta. Add a good
quantity of oil to a non-stick fry pan and lay your leftover spaghetti
in an even layer and fry over medium heat. When the bottom is almost
ready to turn, add grated cheese to the top and cook a few minutes more
to let the cheese melt and flow to the bottom of the pan and brown. Turn
and brown the other side. Feel free to add any kind of sauce to the
pasta before frying but it should be a small amount and the coating
should be a light one. Use whatever kind of cheese you want, although I
don't know how this would turn out with American or process cheese.

I have to check again. When I went a couple of days after Ranee's post to
the GO Mothership, not only was there no white lily, the regular pillsbury
all-purpose was gone. NO FLOUR in the store at all.

I did get green cans of "Parmesan-Romano" for $2 each, though, which
was good because I had 15 tables to put them on. And I cleaned the store
out of Pepperidge Farm Chessmen - there were 15 packs exactly at less
than half grocery prices. I got some of their oreo-type sandwich cookies
to fill the dessert plates. For $1.50 for a huge pack I could afford to
be generous .

I found out (because there was just enough leftover for me) that "dry"
(non-soupy) pasta fazool with some hamburger crumbled into it does
resemble the chili mac that I made for them 2 months ago. Oh well.
Folks enjoyed their meal, including the volunteer chefs who did quality
control.

I tested out the "soaking beans in salted water" thing because I had dry
Great Northerns in our limited stash. Between that and lightly salted
cooking water, the beans (which were #2 grade from the food bank) turned
out both tender and well-seasoned. I will certainly be doing that again.

I also buy milk for the soup kitchen at the GO. Same price as Costco and
it's easier for me to transport (plus, it's closer). If I went through
gallons, I'd buy it there regularly.

For RFC, I'm trying to speak softly about food and carry a big killfile.
I've had plenty of drama in my own RL lately and I certainly don't have
cycles to spare for it here.

We cook all the time. But since I don't use many recipes as such, not
much help to anyone who needs a line-by-line recipe.

Last night I made soup from the remnants of a smoked turkey leg. Added
leftover spaghetti and a few vegs. That was the recipe

Same here. I cook every night. I make a salad. I cook some veggies and
give DH something to send up as a burnt offering to the great god
barbecue. Some nights I'll bake fish or saute chicken breasts in
something interesting, but I hardly ever use a recipe.

I love pea soup with smoked turkey legs or even wings. Did you make pea
soup?

The Chinese finger trap is used for heart stents to open up arteries. It
is maneuvered into place in the collapsed form and then enlarged to
provide improved blood flow. As far as I know, it's the only application
of a practical joke to save lives.

My blog is taking up more of my time, and rfc is more noise than signal
almost all the time now, so it's hard to work up the energy to try to
find substantive posts when I could be reading excellent food blogs
instead, or working on my own blog.

I just mentioned this thread to Miche in rfc chat this evening... I've
noticed it too. I think people are tired of being attacked by the
likes of Brian the Food Snob and various others who love to pick at
ingredients and or spelling mistakes.

You can't have it both ways. You get people talking about what they
cooked with a recipe that is in all likelihood not professionally
written or you don't get one at all. Most people don't have thick
enough hides to take the pointed criticism/hostility so they choose
not to post recipes and only talk in generalities about cooking... if
they even do that much.

Best way to get around that is to killfile everyone who 'attacks' a poster
over the food related post.

too. I think people are tired of being attacked by the likes of Brian
the Food Snob and various others who love to pick at ingredients or
spelling mistakes. You can't have it both ways. You get people
talking about what they cooked with a recipe that is not
professionally written or you don't. Most people don't have thick
enough hides to take the pointed criticism so they choose not to post
recipes and only talk in generalities about cooking.

Where are your recipes?

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Spuds, mayo, chopped hard boiled eggs and onion. I also like to add a
little mint. Sosueme.

A bit of 'minty' flavor <lol>.

Might not be everyone's cup of tea - so to speak, but my family and
quite a few of my friends seem to like it.

Well yeah, when you post about the food you cook, a lot of people seem
to enjoy it, I know I do - because you sometimes talk about foods that
I haven't tried yet (or are not even available here), or experiment
with flavor combinations that sound pretty good to me...

Oh I've seen it - and have even poked in my own oar about some of the
crappy recipes that some people insist upon "sharing" just for the sake
of posting something on-topic. And as a few others have pointed out,
just because a post qualifies as being food-related doesn't
automatically make it interesting IMHO either. <shrug>.

Generally a mix of broccoli & cauliflower florets with sliced carrots and
sometimes zucchini or yellow squash.
