Last night I made peppered chicken thighs with spiced cashews, mango, cilantro and rum. It was a lot of work but worth it. It is a NYT’s recipe.
Made Asian turkey burgers. So tasty husband wanted them (reheated) 2days later. Unheard of!!!

September 13, 2018 at 9:33 am in reply to: What are You Cooking the Week of September 9, 2018? #13451I tried a new recipe from our Giant supermarket recipe collection: Thai-Style Chicken and Cole Slaw with Pita Bread. It got an "A" from my husband. Of course with any new recipe it's always taste and adjust.
Swirth, sometimes I think it's just as tough to be the caretaker as it is the patient. Hope you all recover nicely.
Until recently I was never asked if I exercised when I had my annual physical. The connection between health and exercise was never taken seriously. I do exercise faithfully and the only medication I take is Prolia for what was osteoporosis (now osteopenia). Unfortunately for exercise to work it has to be a part of your life like brushing your teeth. The best part of exercise is the good feeling you get when you are done.
A few years back the doctors starting testing for vitamin "d" deficiency. I was deficient and started taking the "d" supplement. Now I test fine. Should have purchased stock in Vitamin D.
September 9, 2018 at 5:51 pm in reply to: What are You Cooking the Week of September 9, 2018? #13397I had purchased some “choice” strip steaks on sale. Because I had to buy 3 I knew after the first 2 that they were not a bargain. So I decided to slice the 3rd steak thin. I marinated it and sautéed it with onions and peppers. Not bad! Served it over garlic mashed potatoes with Parmesan cheese and sugar snap peas.
I like your method of cooking chicken. Maybe i’ll Try it.
Skeptic I can sympathize with your thriftiness . I bought a box of Ferrara (hard) ladyfingers on sale 3 years ago. I couldn't bear to throw them away. So today I spent $4 on marscapone to make tiramisu. I used the recipe on the box and I think it came out pretty good. I do not like cream cheese so don't even think about it as a substitution.
I bought baby back ribs on sale and baked them with rub in foil at 350 for 2 1/2 hrs and then sauced them and baked them a little longer. They were superb! I also discovered that they were not the usual "onsale" (Smithfield) brand. They were the "Swift" brand and they were not fatty but meaty. I've purchased so called "xtra meaty" ribs and nothing compares to these.
Tonight is breakfast for dinner with cheesy omelet, bacon, homefries , orange slices and bagels with (in my case) lemon curd. Doesn't sound healthy does it? Well the orange slices will balance it out. Ha,ha.
I didn’t cook but my bestie in N.H. did. She made scallops baked in the oven,topped with stuffing,lemon juice and butter,served with asparagus and oven fried potatoes. Scallops were delicious and on sale for $8.95.
I like to remember how much I enjoyed the old BA issues. Once I made their whole Christmas dinner menu including peeling those little pearl onions. I have to say my guests were as impressed as I was. I loved most every issue. It broke my heart when I discovered that all those magazines were crowding my life and I had to give them away. I cannot relate to the New Bon Appetit in any way shape or form. But I am glad I was around when it was a great magazine.
I think BA has changed in the last few years. For some reason I think that their current recipes are un-American which is not the right word. But I think you know what I mean. They do not appeal to my taste.
We had grilled burgers. The meat is mixed with a little corn syrup. (this is a repeat.) We grilled 6 burgers and will simply microwave the individually wrapped burgers at another time. They taste almost as good microwaving them as they do coming off the grill. This time I tried sweet pepper sauce on my burger and it was dee..licious! I purchased the sauce at a local farmers market.
I am grilling Italian sausage in a bun. I sautéed some onions and since I didn't have any peppers I tried substituting pickled jalapenos. We will see.
