I love bread pudding. I want.

Still in the Mexican area, I'd do enchiladas with a red sauce.

I haven't even looked at Amazon today. I got an alert that they started their BF sales yesterday so I looked for a few minutes and saw nothing at all interesting.

Sure! The original recipe site seems to no longer be working so I searched further and this recipe is exactly like it.

Thanksgiving dinner for us last night. Deviled eggs Cranberry Mandarin orange salad Mushroom\onion\green bean\blue cheese tart The smoked meats from Joe's BBQ that I talked about on the Thanksgiving thread--brisket, turkey, pulled pork in bbq sauce and jalapeño cheddar sausages Scalloped potatoes and creamed Brussels sprouts also Assortment of tiny pies from Tiny Pies in Houston TX

Hey, my Grammy made an Easter themed deviled egg holder in her ceramics class like a zillion years ago. You will look cool with the eggs cut like that......I know that plating might be a challenge. Off the top of my head do you have some ice cube trays.....or a platter with some lettuce wedged in to hold them up.....

We just dropped the bread off at the in-laws house and visited outside for a bit. Ronnie decided he might want to go hunting tomorrow so it was best to get it done today. Brother and sister in law seemed fine .....then we went over and broke the news to mother in law in person that we wouldn't be there tomorrow. She was sad, but I think she will be ok. Sigh. I hope it's easier when we tell her we won't be there for Christmas either. Double sigh. It's nice with it just being us I don't have to really stress about what to make--I'll putz around the kitchen all day tomorrow. I got a bag of cranberries in my Imperfect delivery so I want to do something with those today. I've put all the meat in the fridge to thaw. Need to hard boil some eggs, too.

Ditto. I like to sit here and pretend I'm there and I pick out what I'd order.

@Ann_TOMG what an awful experience on top of being super worried about Moe. You did good and handled things so well!! I'm so glad you're both home safe. Your pork verde looks incredible. I haven't made that forever. Is your recipe on your blog? @robirdstxThat stew looks really good. I like that you make everything in big cuts. I wanna taste the celery, carrots, etc. @Kim ShookI've been thinking about you and hope you're not working yourself to the bone. I'll chime in and agree that your sandwich night is a lot fancier than mine ever would be! We've been eating a LOT of ducks. A LOT. I'm pretty sure I've developed a quack and a definite waddle lol. These are pintails Roasted fingerling potatoes and bruss. sprouts along with After seeing @Norm Matthewsgoulash it made me hungry for it. My version is probably not authentic but it hit the spot. I used venison burger and some peppers from the garden. Broccoli beef Last night I roasted a pheasant and fixed up some jarred Alfredo sauce to go over store bought ravioli and opened some green beans I canned. I was running late because I've been putting up Christmas decor.

Wow good job! Thank you!

It's good! Bet you couldn't tell the difference between that and an apple pie. Somewhere around here I made one and posted about it......but I don't remember where.

Such a great movie. Another use is to fry them and add to a BLT sandwich. Either with a ripe tomato or without.

They have a tangy taste like a tomatillo if you've had that...If fried correctly they are crunchy on the outside with a light batter and then tangy. Good dipped in ranch mixed with Sriracha or something spicy like that--or just something spicy imo.

Mine have always been rock hard. I've never tried, but I think if they had even a bit of ripeness that they would turn too mushy.

Agreed with the batter. I picked some huge green tomatoes before the first freeze in the hopes that they would turn. They are still green. Ronnie is not a fan, but I love a good fried green 'mater. I don't make them often because I would never sacrifice a KS tomato that could be a delicious red one , but if it's going to freeze then all bets are off lol. I slice them pretty thick--maybe an inch and I like the light beer batter that I use for fish.

Well because it is low fat....if it's advertised as no fat THAT isn't true. But it truly is low fat IMO.

This would be my vote.

I can't move there, so would you come live with me.....and just cook. ***drooling***

Super fun and the FOOD. Sigh. I dreamed about the food last night I swear.

Is it similar to this This came in a RG box a while back. Ingredients are dried chiles, crystalized lime, brown sugar, sea salt and Mexican oregano. GOOD stuff. I'd never heard of dipping fruit etc. in something like this either. I like to slice up Granny Smith apples and dip away. Edited to say that I'd love to browse around in a store like that right now. I really don't like shopping a lot, but I do like stores like this and it's been years--waaaaay before covid--since I've been out and about. The internet is too easy.....but sometimes I do miss browsing and actually seeing displays.

You're double killing me.

You're killing me.

Well, it makes sense either way 🤣

After a lot of thought, we made the decision that we are not going to attend Thanksgiving at the in-laws. It's a lot of people in not a big enough space to be able to be apart enough. They didn't have it last year so that made it easy to decide lol. Sigh. I don't think my in-laws are very happy with us right now (or maybe it's all in my head)--which kind of surprised me...and maybe we are being overly cautious....but I was going to be very nervous about being inside and Ronnie agreed. We will see how Thanksgiving goes I guess and then make another decision about Christmas. Anyway, I'm going to make the bread that they always request and take it over early on Thanksgiving Day. We will stop in and see my mother in law, too, and wish her a happy day before the crowd gathers. So, it'll just be the two of us. I ordered something fun and got it yesterday--if we had decided to go, I would have made it over the holiday weekend or saved it for Christmas maybe. It's bar-b-que from Joe's Smokehouse in Kansas City. Yes, we could make all of this ourselves, but we would never make all of this to have all at the same time...so it'll maybe be a BBQ Thanksgiving. It all came frozen solid as a rock and is in the freezer as we speak. I don't know that we will decide to make all of it or pick and choose.....it will certainly make more than one meal. It comes with a handbook that tells you the best ways to reheat everything. We could also change our mind and make a traditional turkey. The grocery store had them on sale for 59 cents a pound if you bought 25 dollars worth of other groceries. Limit of two...so one is in the freezer and one is thawing out to be brined. Anyway, side are TBD. Stuffing for sure. Deviled eggs for sure. I want gravy...so that means mashed potatoes but twice baked might be good with the BBQ....... veggies are up in the air depending on what needs to be used up around here. I ordered some extra things from Misfits and Imperfect with Thanksgiving in mind just in case. I'll report back when things firm up lol.

I've been terrible about taking pictures of my stuff, but I'm still ordering weekly and have been super happy with it all. No mistakes have happened for a long time and most things are super fresh. Both Misfits and Imperfect have different things that I like about each of them so I am still doing both. Oddly they have synched up and now deliver on the same day--Fridays. This was Misfits from Friday: I finally got to shop at the Penny Store!!!!! YEAST!!! THAT YEAST UP THERE!!! ONE PENNY!!!! It expires in Feb of 22 so I'll use it now. Imperfect These were super fun. I had never seen or had them before. Sweet and tart. I just ate them right out of the box.
