We had a rain storm today,lost electricity for a couple hours but all's well now.We had breakfast for supper...Sausage,eggs,grits and toast.The sourdough I baked yesterday was good.
April 15, 2018 at 7:06 pm #12081Meatballs and spaghetti sauce.
April 16, 2018 at 6:28 am #12082I made a simple Greek Salad I found on delish.com last summer. And, then I heated some chicken sausage on the stove.
We had driving rains all afternoon so it was nice to stay inside. I think it was the same storm that caused Joan to lose power, but thankfully we didn’t. And then the temperature dropped overnight to 50! That’s because I took my winter quilt off the bed yesterday ? but it will be back up to mid 60s today.April 16, 2018 at 11:20 am #12083With temperatures this morning below freezing, and only slightly higher now, my husband fired up the wood stove. I seized the opportunity and am making minestrone on top of it. I use my own turkey/chicken stock. My basic recipe is from Betty Crocker's International Cookbook. I've replaced the basil with Penzey's Tuscan Sunset (salt-free) and added a yellow bell pepper. I plan to omit the macaroni. It will make a nice warm lunch on a cold day of mixed snow and rain.

April 16, 2018 at 6:04 pm #12091We have about 2 inches of mixed freezing rain, sleet, and snow that's been collecting on the ground for 2 days now. Since great minds think alike, I also made soup today. I tried a new recipe, Ham and Potato Corn Chowder, from Kevin's Closet Cooking. I felt I was in a rut always making split pea soup whenever I had a ham bone, and I really don't care for split pea. I was doubtful about using the broth from cooking the bone and mixing it with milk, and was also afraid the garlic and thyme might not be enough seasoning for this. But after it sat for an hour for the flavors to develop, it's really good and I would make it again.
April 16, 2018 at 6:13 pm #12092Last meal I had to prepare (for at least 4days). Those burgers ? I made up ahead we’re the stars in this last supper. The freezer is officially empty. Now I can go food shopping again in a week is week or so. Yay!

April 16, 2018 at 7:48 pm #12094Have a safe trip home Navlys!
April 17, 2018 at 3:45 pm #12098Thanks BA. Loved Guppy’s!
April 17, 2018 at 6:55 pm #12099I didn't cook tonight! My husband made omelets and I just toasted the English muffins!
April 17, 2018 at 7:52 pm #12100Tuesday night, I boiled up the last of the package of lemon pepper linguini and made a sauce with mushrooms sautéed in grapeseed oil, along with broccoli florets and some of the leftover turkey, then added the rest of the not overly thick gravy that I made last Saturday. The combination worked well, and there is enough for a second meal.
I only have one package of specialty pasta left. I need a trip to Tuesday Morning next time we are somewhere close to one so that I can stock up on that and some other food items.

Last night we had dry lima beans cooked with hog jowl,rice and fried chicken.Tonight I made lima bean soup with the left over beans and rice,just had to cook some onion,celery,carrots and a half can tom tomatoes in some chicken stock, added rest in and we had soup.
April 18, 2018 at 5:33 pm #12105Tonight we had country style ribs cooked on top of stove with onions and water then when they're done I pour BBQ over them and let them simmer till tender,mashed potatoes with the BBQ gravy over them and fried okra.
April 19, 2018 at 1:14 am #12107I've been cooking out of the freezer for a while now. Wanting to use up everything that's been in there a while. I found a 16 month old pork rib roast at the bottom. So I made pork roast tonight. Seasoned it with a little salt and a liberal amount of paprika. Still delicious.
