    Dinner! 2004

    it was sooooo cold on the hawkwatch today with a vile ne wind so came home, took shower and the cannellini and kale soup is on the stove and will make cheese toasts( both asiago and parmegiano reggiano) to go with the soup. dessert for johnnybird will be apple pie with vanilla lactaid ice cream - i prefer the extra sharp cheddar ohhhhh time to change the sig line i do believe
  3. ask me in 8 years when johnnybird retires and we aren't slaved to a hawkwatch . i don't even get to the nj pig pickin' - unless it rains but i do live vicariously through those 41 pages of posts and pictures...

  5. well, i'll be at work tonight - just as i was monday bearing with all the abuse from these northwest nj barbarians . i brought hot dogs, baked beans and sauerkraut which i'll eat at 4:15...
  6. hope blovie and you enjoy them. who would have thought?
  7. i've been eating soup out of the freezer this week: roasted onion with triscuits, smoky black bean with ritz and beer cheese. the one soup i have NEVER liked is tomato from a can. johnnybird has had manhattan clam chowder with oyster crackers and tinned tomato soup with saltines.
  8. anna- i have the recipe from johnnybird's g-grandmother on his grandfather's side who was from south of copenhagen. she did most of what you did with your recipe but she simmered her meatballs in beef broth then thickened it with a flour mixture. are there regional differences? (my heritage is french/croatian/west indian/long island - ask me about cevapici or boiled tongue - not meatballs ) john's grandma also did a cucumber salad with onion and parsley with a dressing of oil/vinegar/sugar/salt. would this be something she brought from germany? my mother-in-law also loves "herrings in sauce". have no idea what the could be - any suggestions? i am 3+ generations removed from the danish influence(course since her mil called grandma the "tight dutchman" - and she was from germany )i'm sure i'm even further removed actually love your space - it is organized, something i work on every day and i do covet your oven good cooking
  9. Library Journal gave it a less than enthusiastic review(can't find an online link) mentioning the language yet suggested it should be a purchase for public libraries because of demand. not at work otherwise i might be able to give you a better annotation good point about selection vs. banning
  10. and he was on Tony Danza's show this morning(hey, it was on in the gym)...didn't even bother to put my book down and watch once i saw A) it was Rocco and B) he was on Tony Danza's show......ewwwwwww

    Dinner! 2004

    as they say in poughkeepsie - oh dear! oh my! oh golly gosh! percyn and behemoth i soooo want that food and susan - please stop posting the food porn - i can only take so much just got my numbers into hawkcount - while baking 3 meatloaves( 2 go directly into the freezer for later in the season). the dinger just dinged to let me know to pull the last meatloaf out, add asparagus spears and the leeks to the butternut squash, white turnip and parsnip dish and check on the duckskin i'm trying out in the oven(it has released more fat and is crisping nicely). i turned the oven off and everything will be done in about 20 minutes with residual heat. wine, hmmmmmmm.... johnnybird is down the shore at our condo so i'm solo tonight. think a 2001 foppiano petite sirah might just do the trick. open and let breathe...in...out...in...out... now to call johnnybird and see how he made out cooking the tail of a filet
  12. leftover au gratin potatoes from dinner last night - with ketchup

    Dinner! 2004

    last night john finally got in from detroit at 7pm just as the food was ready. enough time for him to have a small glass of port then: flounder stuffed with minced shrimp, garlic and shallot marinated artichokes au gratin red bliss potatoes made using up 2 previously opened italian cheese mixtures bottle of dr. l
  14. More specifically, in the next couple of days I'm going to make chicken breasts with an apple-cream sauce. What on earth would go with that? ←
  15. well, at least one library in northwestern nj will have it since i just ordered it. course i also ordered jon stewart et. al's book America. heck, if those(hopefully) photoshopped naked photos of the supreme court justices don't get me in trouble...
  16. reese's miniature peanut butter cups - the perfect ratio of chocolate to pb.... oh, for the kids? lollipops, candy corn, hershey's miniatures.
  17. different "curse" though it applies equally to me since i am a long time red sox fan
  18. yeah - that's right. not going to happen but a wonderful idea 19 straight for the pats
  19. except for the 'muscle spasms' from hell, jacuzzi tubs are wonderful but try some extra potassium just before that full moon. today it was: hot chocolate boston creme donut trailer trash hot dogs:it's "that" time of the month and i am single - johnnybird is off to detroit for work so it was the single-wide trailer trash dinner - don't laugh. i have pictures of the single wide we lived in the first year of our marriage in hooks, tx. iceberg lettuce, tomato chunks(ok- the last of the good jersey tomatoes), cukes and champagne vinegar - sorry i couldn't bring myself to eating russian dressing green and yellow beans - ok, fresh again- boiled then sauteed in some garlic infused olive oil garlic grillmaster franks, split and filled with blue cheese, wraped in pillsbury crescent rolls and served with ketchup, dill hamburger chips and sweet roasted red peppers - with a red stripe beer
  20. yaaaaayyyyy... someone who gets us. we are here to serve(reference librarian speaking now). can't wait for the rest of the week. hope you are doing better (physically and psychologically) and cooking IS therapy. hope your family realize how lucky they are. i also work on menus, what's on sale and what's in my freezer ususally from my my day off to my next day off - planning for leftovers for lunches and some dinners for the two of us. course when john is away.... pb& j and some horrible food tonight keep on cookin' Our library is really small. The good thing is that they are connected to Madison libraries through interlibrary loan, so I am able to order cookbooks that I want to borrow, and a Madison library usually has what I want, and they send it to our library.
  21. on the list on the fridge are the following food related items: champagne flutes(since i always seem to break glassware i ask for low end 4/5.99 sets) white wine glasses gift certificate to bed, bath and beyond or some such store - i need a good dutch oven gift certificate to martini beach in cape may - we love to go there and have the sunset table when down that way for our anniversary so ... recipe cards
