What are you Cooking the Week of July 3, 2022?

[Mike Nolan]

Burgers on the grill plus sweet corn tonight. And maybe some cherry pie later on.

[Joan Simpson]

I pan fried two floured pork chops ,made onion gravy then put them in my roasting pan and baked for 1& 1/2 hours in the gravy, we had rice and green beans to go with them.Pork chops was fork tender.

[Joan Simpson]

We had spaghetti and meat sauce that was in the freezer and I made garlic toast.

[Mike Nolan]

I don't know what we're doing for supper, probably picking something up. I'm dealing with some sewer backup issues in the basement--again, I just don't think I'm going to have energy or interest in cooking. (This is probably the 4th time in the last few years I've had to deal with sewer water in the basement, the expensive part isn't the plumber, it's the clean up service to do the floors and get under the hot tub with steam and sanitizers.)

Sorry to hear about your house problem, Mike. Any chance of a permanent solution, or will you have to live with it continuing to occur?

My husband pan-cooked pork tonight. I made some bulgur cooked in frozen turkey broth, and we had fresh green beans from our garden.

[Mike Nolan]

They used a reamer fitted with a TV camera to see what the inside of the pipe is like.

The plumbers are going to do something to clean out the cast iron pipes under the house on Monday, that might help. The PVC pipes outside looked OK, except that they aren't totally level anymore (after 25 years) so there are some hills and valleys, though that doesn't appear to be where things are clogging up. Digging the outside line up to redo it would be a major job.

Dang Mike that's a problem no one wants.Sure hope you get it fixed soon and the cleanup goes smooth.Very few people here in the south have basements, I wish we did.

We had taco salad tonight.

[Mike Nolan]

I think we're having tuna salad on a tomato tonight. We've got a big (12.85 ounce) tomato from the local veg stand that needs to get used soon.

A few weeks ago, we found a 10 lb. turkey at the local grocery store for $1.34 a pound, bought it, and stuck it in the freezer. [Remember how none of us could find a small turkey last Thanksgiving?] I put it in the refrigerator to thaw when we went away on our trip, and it was ready to roast for Friday night’s dinner. I made the All-American Potato Salad to go with it (using green onion tops from the pot my husband is growing), as well as gravy from the turkey drippings, and we had microwaved fresh broccoli. Today was rainy and cooler, so it was a good day to roast a turkey

Dinner was grilled chicken thighs, potatoes roasted on the grill, a green salad from the deck planters, and the last of the broccoli salad.

[Joan Simpson]

Tonight my husband had canned soup and fries, I had a leftover hamburger and fries.

I made pie crusts yesterday so I made a cherry pie for dessert tonight.

[Mike Nolan]

Our plan for tonight is burgers on the grill, and probably some kind of salad.

[BakerAunt]

On Saturday, I made yogurt. I also made broth from the bones of yesterday's turkey and those from a chicken that I had in the freezer. Our dinner was leftover turkey and potato salad and microwaved frozen peas.

[chocomouse]

Our dinner was grilled salmon, wild rice, and steamed broccoli.

[RiversideLen]

All this talk about cherry pie has given me a taste for it. So, yesterday I bought a 1/2 cherry pie from Whole Foods.

Tonight I had a hamburger, carrots and a slice of cherry pie.
