Pan fried petite filet, baked potato and steamed Fordhook lima beans.

I bought four nice russet potatoes, washed them, rubbed the skins with
butter, sprinkled with salt and baked them. One will be a side with
dinner tonight, with a little butter, a dab (notice I didn't say a
dollop!) of Breakstone sour cream.

Another potato might be lunch tomorrow, with topped with cheese and
crumbled bacon. That makes a meal all by itself.

The other two potatoes will go into either a pot of corn chowder or
baked potato soup. I haven't decided which soup to make.

What's on your menu?

It's Saturday, and that is hamburger night in our house. Megaton is out
on the patio grilling them now.

Sounds good. I don't have a specific night for cooking any one thing.

Last night I heated up some (from frozen) stuffed scallops and was
disappointed. The experience did tell me I can do better than that from
scratch now that I know what the heck they are. It's pretty much like
the filling for crab cakes except it involves sweet small bay scallops.
I have a bunch of actual scallop shells so when I make this I'll know
exactly how to prepare it.

DH went to a reunion of some old guys that he used to work with, so just me.
I'm having some sesame oil sauteed tofu with walnuts and a bit of honey
drizzled over it, also a green salad. Simple, but I like it.

I have two leftover pupusas. I might have those or I might make some soup.
It's 69 outside which I know isn't chilly but it does seem that way after
all the hot weather we've had.

The girls are having a combination of things. We got a couple of salads at
Costco yesterday and I know they are doing frozen jalapeno poppers. Perhaps
some sort of chicken and fries as well.

Husband is out. Should be assorted leftovers by the time he gets home if he
hasn't eaten yet.

A ten pound bag of russets arrrived from BJs today, should last at
least a month... tonight microwave baked spuds with pan fried pork
chops... watermelon for dessert... from a whole melon and very good.
We don't worrry about buying produce in large quantity. we buy carrots
in five pound bags, they cost 40% less per pound than 1 pound bags so
if the last start to go off they go out for the critters. last night
I tossed a pile of watermelon rinds out, this morning they were all
gone... some critters enjoyed them. Nothing edible ever goes in the
trash... even the few crumbs from a package of bread gets tossed
outside, it'll feed a nursing mouse.... often if there's a last slice
I'll butter it before tossing it out my window, mommy mouse will feed
her babies richer breast milk... I never stop thinking of better
mammary health.

Roast turkey (on the gas grill), boiled potatoes, and tossed salad.

I've roasted various cuts of meat on the grill, mostly
spited/rotisseried pork loins, but roasting a turkey on the grill is
something I never tried. What size turkey?
Since the grill was already hot I would have grilled the potatoes,
I've done that often.

Maybe 14 pounds. Spatchcocked, it took about 90 minutes.

I didn't specify, but these were new potatoes, about the size of grapes.

Sounds very good. Did you have company... a 14 pound turkey is a lot
of meat. I usually roast a 14 pounder for Thanksgiving for the two of
us but we have a passle of cats who put a big dent in it, they
actually eat more than we eat. If we had to eat turkey ourselves I'd
likely roast a chicken. I only roast a turkey for Thanksgiving
because of tradition, but I much prefer chicken. The cats would
gobble up a chicken same as a turkey.

No, we froze the dark meat and turned the carcass and white meat into
stock. This was a turkey I'd got the day after Thanksgiving very
cheaply with the intention of turning it into stock.

I believe my husband prefers turkey to chicken. Certainly roast
chicken provokes a "meh" reaction from him, whereas turkey gets
me a lot of "thank you". I prefer grilled chicken breast over
roasted chicken or turkey.

I buy one turkey a year, for Thanksgiving. I like chicken better, to
me turkey has a slight gamey flavor. Actually I'm not all that fond
of chicken either, I find plain chicken boring, it's like canned tuna,
needs to be made into something to be tasty.

>I believe my husband prefers turkey to chicken.

Huh, don't you know... what, are yoose together less than a year?

Years ago I'd turn poultry carcasses into stock but for a long time
now I toss them outside for the critters. I find it labor intensive
and costly to prepare a proper poultry stock. I haven't bought whole
chickens for a few years now, we prefer skinless boneless chicken
breasts sliced into thin cutlets, seasoned and sauted... neither of us
likes breading.

Â* Thanks for the reminder . I have 2 turkeys out in the freezer , if I
pull one now it'll be ready for the smoker (cherry or mesquite , a
quandary !) by Wednesday evening . The wife sez the other nightÂ* "Yer
doing a turkey , why not do a butt too ? Don't take no more charcoal
...." So I'll pull one of those too - tomorrow . Any we don't eat in a
day or 3 is going into a vacuum freezer bag - weighed portions since I
got a (used) triple beam scale as a gift. I'm hooked on this foodsaver
vacuum sealer thing , got it as a gift a couple of years ago and forgot
I had it . And the turkey carcass will be simmered for stock , haven't
decided how to preserve that .
