Default Dinner for tonight 6/16/16


Something with ground beef.
I went outside to work in the yard. I got the corn thinned and it
started to rain. I came inside. Then the sun came out, I went
outside to do some more stuff. Then it hailed. I came back inside.
My husband is deciding if he has enough time to mow the lawn before it
rains again. The heck with it. I'm thawing a package of ground beef.
I'll figure something out towards dinner time. I'm going to read
today.

It's on the cool side here. Nights have been dipping down to the 40's. I'm
going to make a pot of chili and some whole wheat rolls. Need to use up some
flour.

How about some spag bol? Or patties? I'm thinking of defrosting some
pork or lamb mince for spag bol tonight... it's long overdue and I
should have the time to make it properly (according to how I like it)
today.

Spaghetti doesn't appeal today. Besides, I have a pan of cold polenta
waiting to be fried tomorrow and be served with marinara sauce and
salad. Maybe I'll do a pan of beef and bean enchiladas. Or if that
seems like too much fuss, some sort of rice dish. Have a good dinner
with your spaghetti.

I like the idea of beef and bean enchiladas. This is another area of
food I haven't ventured into for no particular reason. I might start
looking into some recipes and rounding up ingredients.

>Have a good dinner with your spaghetti.


Thanks, it will be slowly cooked throughout the course of the day. I'd
better go get the mince out now...

I've had a bread-baking binge. 2x900g miches using excess SD starter
with yeast and 2x750g pain au levain. Flour mix of strong white, organic
WW (15% protein) and some rye.
I also made 3x300g tin loaves of cracked grain bread and I'll be eating
that with salad for supper. I soaked a cracked multi-grain mix in
boiling water and then left it in the fridge for a few days to soften
the grains. The trouble is, the grains on the surface have hardened
during the bake:-( Still, the texture and flavour are superb.

I just put my Sourdough starter to bed in the freezer thinking that it
would be too warm for baking for the next 90 or so days. Hot last
week, cold this week. Your dough mixes sound lovely. Put some in the
freezer so that you don't have to eat so quickly

I've just tried a slice of the pain-au-levain and I think it must rate
as some of the best bread I've ever made:-) The other loaf is in the
freezer along with the rest of the binge-bake. I'm ready now for friends
who are arriving next week.

Tonight's dinner was easy, heros on good Brooklyn dago semolina bread,
with genoa, sopresatta, olive loaf, provolone, iceberg, tomato, olive
oyl, and mustard... on paper plates. I had a tall Sprite Zero with
Crystal Palace... she had a squat dark Belize rum and Coke with
lime... if not for she I'da had lottsa sweet onions on my hero.

I love that gal with the big low slung headlights in the Liberty
Mutual Insurance ad... wish I knew her name so I could do some
research. I once owned a '59 Chrysler Imperial with headlights like
hers, check out those twin beauties:

you will be on a quest to try to duplicate it
