More reuben sandwiches and yes. Six fries Made some lump crab stuffed ravioli--cheated and used wonton wrappers. More chicken enchiladas Red beans and rice. Used the wrong kind of beans because I didn't have any of the right kind. SV'd a bit of pork belly. Made egg rolls....now I have some in the freezer. Drunken noodles to go with Breakfast using more of that wonderful Canadian bacon that Ronnie's brother made Ronnie finally got a couple of geese so I roasted one--removed the legs for future use. Potato cakes and green beans to go with Venison bierocks Venison taco soup

I shop for groceries from Misfits the minute my window opens--or as soon as I can if something is going on that I can't. There are a lot of choices at that time....If I wait until the last day of my 3 day window it looks just as you describe in both the fruit and the vegetable sections. Local stores--haven't noticed shortages but definitely the prices are a lot higher.

So nice to have a brownie It seems like I'm the brownie lately lol. How long at 275 did it take the ribs to get done?

I've started using them, too. Misfits has had some and I decided to purchase. Very handy and just as good --probably better--than I can make. Like you, making things like curry sauces....tikka masala etc. do not come naturally to me and I have to have detailed instructions. Can I throw together a huge pot of spaghetti sauce without a recipe. Yes. Those exotic type sauces etc. Nope.

So awful to be sick and triple so while on vacation I'm sorry. Glad you're feeling better now.

I'm craving spaghetti and meatballs. Looks sooooo goooood!

Happy Birthday to Mr. @Dejah! This sounds really good. I don't have haddock but maybe white bass would do? Super cold here still--supposed to continue all this week too. Next Sunday it finally gets above 30f for a high. Brrrrr. Pizza night with some more of that wonderful Canadian bacon my bil made. Had a major craving for cheese and hatch Chile cornbread. Thawed out chili to go with. Venison meatloaf Made chili cheese dogs and tots with leftover chili SV'd pork tenderloin, noodles and Brussels sprouts Ronnie's birthday was yesterday so I made a small batch of cinnamon rolls for dessert/breakfast He requested chicken livers and gizzards for his birthday dinner. I fried the gizzards and then pressure cooked them for 45 mins. While they were doing that I made gravy for dipping and twice baked potatoes He always wants this sheet cake for birthday dessert

It's a KNORK!

Stop it! Torture. Pure torture.

Awesome!

I was hoping the same thing

I was born in '74....I never had Spam until the middle '90's when the place I worked at held a Spam carving contest on St. Patrick's Day. No. I don't know why...we just thought it was funny lol.

We're all tucked in the house--cozy and warm. A lot of snow fell overnight with a lot of wind. Everything is closed. Happy to still have electricity. Had some leftover tomatoes that I canned so I made salsa and chicken tostadas For the first time ever we had BLT's in January with Ronnie's greenhouse tomatoes Stuffed jalapeños to go with You know the rotisserie chickens you get at the store? Ronnie stopped in and found a turkey breast done that way in Dillon's. I've never seen that. Really good and tender--honestly couldn't tell the difference between that and chicken. Made sandwiches, turkey and noodles and used the carcass and made stock. Fried up some chicken quarters Had one last corned beef in the freezer so I started that Sunday evening around 6--155F for 24 hours--wanted corned beef sandwiches to eat during the football game last night.

*revising my CV*

I just sent my CV in.....I really hope they need an unemployed, middle-aged, woman from Kansas that loves to eat but not work very much.

Had to google this. Sounds really good!

I love this. Also, it gives me a whole other reason to turn the Christmas lights on tonight lol.

Very interesting. I knew an Amish man quite well through selling him lumber for years. They were always closed for Epiphany--a holiday I never had heard of before learning from him. Being Amish it wasn't the celebration that you're showing, though lol. Getting the baby in the King cake is supposed to give you good luck for the next year. In my house it means you get to do the dishes.

I need to get to the Asian market. Are pea leaves the same a pea shoots? I love pea shoots.

Post more take out! Us rural Kansas people love seeing what you eat no matter what. I'll try my best not to be envious

Well, we might try gently bending down...it won't be a lot down, but maybe enough. Also going to leave the grow light on more. We only have two plants that are tall like that--the other is a bush type plant--so we're too scared to try cutting them off. It's definitely just for fun--I mean good tasting tomatoes in January...might as well try lol.

Thank you! Ronnie will be inside shortly so I'll show this to him and see what his thoughts are. We have a grow light that we turn on over nights....but it's been cloudy a lot. Maybe we should keep it on during the day, too. I appreciate everyone's help very much!

I'd definitely say tree-like.

Thanks for your responses @rotuts and @Senior Sea Kayaker. Both Ronnie and I agree that there is no way to bend--even gently--these plants down. They would break. It's the main stem that's getting so tall, not leafy parts that are more bendable if that makes sense. I don't know if our tomatoes are indeterminate or not???? Picked just now:

I'm realllllly enjoying this. Thank you so much.
