We love RB&R around here. Monday, Tuesday, any day is fine. Yours look perfect. We prefer them with brown rice too.

Well, my husband is in Mexico and I am not. When I was meal planning for this week, I totally forgot about Valentine's Day. I had planned on making pulled pork quesadillas for my nephew and I - maybe I will make them heart shaped!

The pretzel coated chicken sounds great - just breaded chicken, using crushed up pretzels?

We like that green bean salad, make it for almost every family gathering.

Painkiller cocktail sounds good though I would have to sub vodka for the rum due to an incident at a rugby tournament dance many decades ago. I still cannot abide the smell, much less the taste of rum. We're talking about 45 years ago. Some things just stay with you...🤢

My daughter that is hosting a few friends is doing it purely out of love for her fiancé. They joke that he watches the game and she watches the commericials.

Little works of art - just gorgeous!

I'm not interested in football, never have been but one of my daughters is hosting a few people and the other daughter is going to a gathering so I've offered to make Buffalo Chicken Dip and send a half dozen Bierocks that I froze earlier this week to each. I will have some of each for myself while quietly watching something other than football.

i agree. When it's cold outside, I love to have something hot, although not sweet

Wow - that's quite a competition for high school! As mentioned, this is a friendly place with a plethora of information from all over the world. I'm Canadian too, but live on the west coast. Welcome!

It's funny, I have seen people in search of the same thing but my pyrex measuring cups are at least 35 years old and one from my mom is even older but I can still read the red measurements on all of them. I put them in the dishwasher regularly (and we have hard well water.) I wonder if there were different batches made?

If not this one, it was very similar:

I do a lot of sheet pan meals too. I think some people (my sister) have the wrong idea about them and just throw everything on a pan and cook together. I do as you do - longest cooking first and go from there. Seems pretty elementary to me that chicken thighs and green beans won't take the same amount of time. I found a good chart for my sister somewhere on the internet that gave roasting times for different proteins and veg. She's a convert now.

I'm not a lamb lover or a pea lover but my husband and one of my daughters would be over the moon with that dinner. I'll have to do that for them one of these days.

Reminds me of a line from an old country song (warning: not PC at all) "I never went to bed with an ugly woman but I sure woke up with a few."

What an interesting recipe. I just bought bananas today so might just give this a try in the morning. It is left uncovered after the flip?

Me too! It used to be sold in 500ml cartons but no longer. There is no way I go through a litre before it turns into a science experiment.

My husband is somewhat the same although he doesn't get the meals that Moe does! He eats a pretty hearty breakfast, no lunch and usually a pretty light dinner. I usually have toast and an egg or cereal and fruit for breakfast, no lunch and the same light dinner. Most days. I do however like cold pizza for breakfast!

I have had good crab cakes a couple of times in my many decades but I would rather buy a Dungeness, make a garlicy, lemony butter and pick and dip.

Looks great but honestly if I ate that for breakfast I would have to go back to bed!

My husband and I were just talking about having mussels this weekend and this looks fabulous - thank you!

I can imagine that plantain (which I find less sweet and starchier than bananas) might be a better combination than a banana although still not sure about the mustard sauce but never say never...

Wasn't sure where to post this but since it was my lunch... I have mentioned before that we are in a quite rural area and a lot of foodstuffs are beyond my reach. We have this nursery in our little town. They have a walk-in cooler with flowers and vegetables, tons of indoor plants and of course all that you need for outdoor gardening. Oddly enough, they also sell cheese - good cheese. I bought a 5 kilo wheel of ghouda for my husband at Christmas. Saw that their weekly special was 50 percent off cheese. We love the packaged fondue for camping. I steam little potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower and it is a very "fancy" camping meal. Stocked up and bought 3 packages - good until September..

I'm having a hard time imagining the taste of that combo!

Even more mechanical help than that - growing old is not for the faint of heart!
