    Lunch! What'd ya have? (2018)

    in Cooking

    Posted

    It's not a thing per say, it's just that when we were in MS when I was growing up,  we did a lot of gardening and canning. it was not unusual to can any where from 30-40 gallons of sweet pickles each summer. They were an integral ingredient in both of my grandmother's chicken salad recipes. Both of my grandmothers did equally as much canning as long as their health allowed.   

     

    Because we don't have access to that much produce anymore,  we don't have the pickles,  but the brine is an easy fix/substitute. (we do make and use cheater pickles)

    I was the first excited poster and I failed to make even one dish. My apologies. But it's never too late, right?

     

    Tonight I pulled out a random piece of steak. Would this go under steak or beef?

     

    Some backstory: I know why I haven't used this, I usually cook two steaks at a time, but the valu-pack for this set of steaks came with 5 instead of 4 or 6. So this lone steak got left behind.

     

    I'm going to pair this with broccoli (also from the freezer) and for extra points, I'll create a sauce.

    Bearnaise  anyone? 

    Pimento Cheese

    @Lisa Shock, the store I worked a made this fresh in our cheese shop. Merchandised  as Jarlsburg dip.  As you know, it is way too thick to dip, but my favorite was to eat it was as a cheese toastie.  Spread on a nice Kaiser roll or pretzel bun...something substantial that will hold up to the resulting oil melting from the cheese and mayo. Toast til melted, bubbly and browned.  Makes a nice meal with a salad.

    God bless both of you--Kay and Carol--I cannot for the LIFE of me make pie crust.  My Grammy made the best.  I mean the best.  And she showed me and well etc etc. I cannot do it.

     

    I've decided my hands are too hot????

     

    Anyway, yep, doughboy is my man.

    Mama and each still have a doughboy in our kitchen, mine the one I received for my  birthday  when they first hit the market in 71/72? I believe.  He'd  be so sad if I didn't let him handle some of the cooking!

    Breakfast! 2018

    @Shelby, that is my kind of brunch. I made that cheeseball for our Christmas, with one exception. Years ago my grandmother was going to make one and sent my granddad for the jarred dried beef. He came home with a canned  corned beef. She used it and never made it the other way again. try it sometime!

    Just got back from Aldis and totally forgot to look for these apples.  I did buy a lot of post holiday items, chocolates (gold and silver coins , for a Harry Potter party)  marzipan/dark chocolate covered logs, marzipan stollen , truffles,  holiday sprinkles for next season... for an absolute steal,  25c each,  and my stepdad's favorite, Queen Anne cherry cordial for 10c a box.  A good $75 worth of products at a  regular retail grocery for maybe $5-$6. Now I need to make room in the freezer for the 5 stollen!
