What's cooking at your house?

[Bucky]

There's a girl in my office who's a fabulous cook. She makes us lunch -- for all of us! -- about three times a week.

WOW!  Do you guys pay her for lunch?  Maybe she should consider opening a small diner or a catering business!  She could hit up companies and take them lunch. 

I remember when I lived in Arizona back in 1980, there was what we called "roach coaches" that stopped at the business industrial park and you could go out and buy lunch from these trucks.  The companies didn't have vending machines or anything, so you either had to bring your lunch from home or venture out somewhere to pick up a bite.  This truck traveled to each company and stayed for something like 15-20 minutes and then moved on.

Isn't that how Katie Brown started out?  Selling curry out of her car?

She says she loves working here, and she's trying to help two of the girls lose weight. She cooks really healthy stuff, and is always looking online for recipes. Is this a great job or what?!?

I try to pay her $20 a week, but I sometimes forget.     She never asks for money, and I don't know whether anybody else pays her.

I remember the "roach coach" in the 70s when I was working in a factory during summer vacation. It was pretty good (compared to school cafeteria food!) but the regular employees complained about how awful it was.

I don't know about Katie Brown; I think I'll look her up on Google. I can't watch her --- her voice gets on my nerves.

today .. buffalo steaks.

[Narablueeyes]

Tonight, "mess." I take leftovers and mix with pasta and either spaghetti sauce or cheese sauce. 

[Joe S.]

Take and bake pizza with apple pies. I wanted chicken and dumplings.

[Cricket]

Well today the kids and grandkids are coming over and I am making a broccoli and ham braid (Pampered Chef recipe) and some hash browns. 

[Joe S.]

I have been promised chicken in dumplings on Thursday for supper. Tonight is bread and water again. Maybe crackers, cheese and summer sausage if I am up to that.

[Bucky]

It sure would be nice, now and then, if my family would say, "what do YOU want US to fix for dinner tonight?" instead of the usual . . . . "what's for dinner?".  Sigh

Although, on the rare (very, very rare) occasion when they DO decide to "cook" - it usually involves getting a mass number of pots and pans and dishes out.  Of course, they never clean up the mess afterwards.     Sigh

A bowl of cereal sounds about right up my alley tonight.  Quick and simple.

I'm with you, Bucky.

I could smell something cooking in the kitchen a while ago.  "Oh yeah!  Someone's making me supper!  How nice!"  Nope.  They cooked something for themselves.  Something with gluten that I can't eat.   

So I'm making some pasta for me, myself, and I.  And for dessert, my homemade gluten free banana bread.

It was such a sunny day we grilled steak with lots of mushooms & onion.  I made twice baked potatoes. Yum.  Carie

[Joe S.]

Bucky, Just ask them what they are cooking for dinner. When my wife asks that, I ask her where she wants to go. I do not cook.

Joe, You are toooo funny. Bread and water---that is probably what my hubby thinks I am cooking.g I have not felt good all summer and I lost my desire to cook about the same time. One day this summer he came in for lunch and there were no leftovers in the fridge and I hadn't made any lunch.

Sooo, the old standby was fixed again!!! Grilled cheese (on gluten free bread for him) and peach sauce. I thought it was just great on these hot summer days and we had that at least once a week all summer.

Tonight I cooked some venison chops for hubby. He didn't get a deer but the son did and the guys cut up 2 deer today. Hubby was given some meat for supper. I had a little frozen pizza and baked chicken for tomorrow night. We ill be gone to cities for hubbies pulmonology appt tomorrow. Maybe we will come home with an order for oxygen for him. I really am hoping!!!Irish

Made seafood fetticine and salad...yummm.

Joe, you are funny. Poor guy; bread and water.  You sound like my husband and his love for chicken and dumplings.  His grandmother made the very best!  It's sort of a tradition in SE Kentucky, I think.  Everyone's "mamaw" seems to make the best biscuits or the best chicken and dumplings.  I hope you get some dumplings by Thursday!

[Joe S.]

I do not like the soft fluffy dumplings. I like the hard dumplings. It took forever to find the recipe. I found out that my cousin had it. (Moms recipes and legal papers disappeared when she died.)

I did have bread with jelly on it last night, 2 crackers a slice of cheese, and a cereal bowl of pop corn. While watching the blue ray edition of "Star Wars" chapter 5.

Last night ----- Breakfast for dinner!  I love pancakes with real butter, and honey instead of syrup.
