Actually, dinner last night but same tonight as it turned out so
good. I made a cottage pie. First time in about a year or so. I know that most here have made it and actual recipes vary. This is what I made yesterday: ----------------------------------- Cooked a bit more than 1 pound of ground beef along with 2 medium onions, chopped and some Worcestershire sauce. Chopped up all the beef then drained off the grease. Meanwhile, I sautéed about 7 ounces of fresh sliced white mushrooms in butter. When beef was done, I stirred in the mushrooms and mixed them in with the beef. All this I put in the bottom of my casserole dish (8 x 8 x 4 corelle baking dish) Topped that with about 7 ounces of frozen mixed vegetables and a drained can of "reduced sodium" green beans. Then, I made a chicken gravy. Made a roux with butter and flour, then stirred in homemade chicken broth to make a medium thick gravy. Poured that on top of the meat and veggies. Finally, I topped it with a decent amount of mashed red potatoes...about 2" high. All this filled up the casserole dish to the top. As everything was already cooked, I just wanted to bake it to very hot. I put it into a 400F oven without top lid and left it for 40 minutes. At that time, I checked on it and it was bubbling hot and the mashed potatoes had a slight brown crust on top. finished. I took it out and put the lid on to let it slowly cool down a bit. One of the tastiest cottage pies I've ever made. I planned to freeze some for future easy meals but I suspect none of this will ever see my freezer. So good, I have no problem with repeat meals. Anyway....a good darn meal: - healthy portion of the cottage pie with S&P - small side (on same plate) of "Gramma's applesauce" - one soft roll or slice of white bread with butter. I should really make these more often. This is the first one in about a year. YUM! |

This is the first one in > about a year. YUM! Sounds like a good pie. Any kind of pie is a good pie. Yesterday we went to an Italian restaurant. The server said the special was braised short-ribs. Braised short-ribs are one of my favorite dishes so that was a no-brainer. What I got was a two and a half slab of what looked like ribs. I was not expecting that but I done ate it anyway without complaint. I like ribs anyway. It looks like the cook might have overdone it with the sear but I done ate it anyway without complaint. Burnt food is okay with me. In my awesome opinion, all Italian restaurants should serve some good ole American meat dish for us folks that don't much care for pasta, pasta, pasta.. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared..._HFlIPqFHcrpE1 |

There's a lot more to Italian food than pasta. Sounds like your restaurant is deficient if they only have pasta, pasta, pasta. Cindy Hamilton |

One day, I went in and ordered a take-out pizza. Waited for it then paid and took it home to eat. Anyway, I asked for a so-so pizza but this time I said and also anchovies on it. She said, "you don't want anchovies on it." I said, "Yes. I want anchovies this time." She tried her best to talk me out of it but I insisted. So I took home my pizza with anchovies. Only one bite and I arrgghhed. lol. She was right...not good at all. I picked them all off but the pizza still tasted of anchovies. I probably should have married her instead of the other one later on. lol ![]() |

Every italian restaurant I've been to serves veal, meat-a-balles, saw-seege, calimari, and other meat dishes. In fact I don't remember any Italian restaurant I've been to that serves braised short ribs. |

The dead giveaway was the American style barbecue sauce on top. If that ain't enough, there's also the coleslaw and baked potatoes. Yoose can get anything you want at that restaurant and it's all going to come with pasta on the side or on the bottom. A pizza or a salad won't come with pasta, but I'd rather have a Spam musubi with some Pez on the side than those two items. Also, it's not MY restaurant and I try to avoid going there if I can. As far as it being deficient, it seems like every other Italian restaurant that I've even been to. Hopefully, things are different in Italy. Three strikes, yer out! |

Not me, I've been eating anchovy since childhood, I'll eat them directly from the tin. I like the rolled ones best but not so easy to find anymore. I generally don't order anchovy on pizza because the high baking temperature ruins the anchovy. |

I'm glad I had cold anchovies (on a salad) first. I still don't want them on a pizza, but in something like puttanesca they're good. Cindy Hamilton |

Western Chinese restaurants often have a few dishes for kids. Fries, apple sauce, chicken, that kind of stuff. Maybe Italian restaurants should have that for Hawaiians. A special part of the menu that only deals with "good ole American meat fishes". Dead cow in a few ways. |

Any Eyetalian worth his pizza dough is going to know that you put the anchovies on after the pie is cooked. Yoose guys are animals. |

Yoose guys are animals. That's not a bad idea, but I've never had it like that. I also like it when the anchovies is baked with everything else, but maybe this is even better. |
