Tonight we had cubed steak axis venison that our friend gave us,man that was the most tender steak from deer I've ever had,so good you could cut it with a fork.With that I cooked rice and gravy with creamed corn.
I missed it.
I've never been to one of these stores but have heard a lot about them.
Tonight we had boneless chicken breast split marinated in Italian dressing,first I sliced an onion and sauteed it in a little butter and olive oil and I did as the question toady added in a pinch of baking soda,when they got to cooking I put a lid on it and when I checked again they were brown but like a gravy,no onion strings more like mush but very tasty,I then pushed them to the side and sauteed the chicken on both sides,with this we had thickened potatoes,garden peas and a green salad.It was good.
I guessed it but surely will try next time.
The pie does look good Mike.
Today we had spaghetti and meat sauce with garlic toast.
This morning I made up dough for fried apple tarts or hand pies,I had two apples that needed using so I cooked up the apples with a little white and brown sugar,a teaspoon of lemon juice,cinnamon and a tab of butter and one small cup of applesauce that needed to go,this cooked down and was really watery so I added in a tbsp.of tapioca still not thick enough so I added in a tablespoon of corn starch mixed with enough water to stream in it thickened up well.Then I poured this mixture on a plate to cool quick in fridge while I rolled out the dough.I got 8 tarts and they fried up nicely.
Got it,learned this watching cooking shows.

Oh Mike yes I remember wringer washers.I wanted to help my grandmother on wash day it looked fun ....got my arm caught in the rollers...not fun.lol.
Tonight we had meatloaf,mashed potatoes and green butter beans.
I missed it too,wow.
That French onion soup sounds awesome,yum!
Tonight we had the rest of the rotisserie chicken,left over beans and potatoes and cabbage,I had left over squash so I made squash casserole out of that,yay all left overs are gone!

Sounds good and easy.I like that site too.
I love the smell of those onions,I know that soup will be so good,yum.
We got out and cleaned the yard today.My husband did the mowing and I picked up pine cones that was a job but we got it done and it sure looks so much better.That old John Deere is 19 years old and still running.After he did the cutting he put the bagger on and vacuumed over where it piled up.He said he was scared he'd never be able to do that again but so far he's tired as I am too.Now only picking up some sticks in one spot he didn't mow and weed eating.Pollen here is awful and has been for a month already.
I was going to have rotisserie chicken last night but he wanted another round of hamburger steaks and fries so that was easy,good and a quick 30 minutes and done.
