Dinner Tonight - 3/21
Last week I had roasted a small turkey and have gotten pretty good
mileage out of it. What was left was an incredible stock, one drumstick and a thighbone, so I have those simmering now. Added some chopped fire-roasted tomatoes (about 3/4 c.), 1 can of white beans and 1 can of garbanzos (liquid drained away). Something still seemed a bit lacking. Even though the stock was spicy from crushed red pepper, I felt it needed more heat so I added a can of the Ortega chopped jalapenos -- hot blend. Now it's getting better, but it still needed one more thing ... so I added some chopped chard that I had to use soon and a little chopped uncooked bacon for a slightly smoky flavor. Now we're cookin'! I went to the farmers market today and picked up a loaf of Jalapeno and Jack Cheese Bread (amazing stuff!) to have with dinner tonight. It turned a bit cold and damp on us today so this will be perfect. Also at the market I purchased some rye berries. I've never cooked with or used rye berries and the vendor said they can be soaked and cooked similar to wheat berries and served as a side dish. I purchased them for the novelty and I know Bob will be trying to figure out what to do with them. Does anyone have favorite uses for rye berries? --Lin |

Added some chopped Your dinner sounds good! We had a 30-minute meal tonight because I got back from the store after six... Parmesan chicken breasts, country blend frozen vegetables (corn, green beans, carrot slices) with fresh lime juice, and Yukon gold instant potatoes. I don't usually use the instant stuff but I didn't have time to make the real thing and I wanted to try them. They turned out much nicer than the other flavours we've tried so I wouldn't mind having them again some time. |

Perfect it was. I think I'd classify it as an impromptu caldo. It was quite hearty and full-flavored. > Also at the market I purchased some rye berries.

I'd thought about soaking them and adding them to bread dough, but if I only add half a cup of rye berries per batch of dough, it'll take a year to use them up! Bob |

Smoked pork butt, pulled with home made barbecue sauce on whole wheat
hamburger buns, coleslaw, and baked beans. Sliced onion and dill pickle chips on the side. I used my new bullet smoker and I'm very, proud of the results. -- Janet Wilder way-the-heck-south Texas spelling doesn't count but cooking does |

I was puttering in the kitchen much of the day (I don't do yards), doing my semi-annual complete scrub-out of the fridge. In between I made a macaroni and vegetable salad, burger patties made from "meatloaf mix" of beef, pork, and veal coated in one of my barbeque rub recipes and served on very fresh bakery hamburger buns, Bush's Boston Style Baked Beans with the addition of crisp-fried onion and crisp-fried bacon, and potato chips. I baked a batch of gingersnaps that we had with French vanilla ice cream. We all ended up fat, dumb, and happy. David and son also ended up with sunburns. :-) Tomorrow night will be a slightly healthier meal of grilled tilapia, oven- roasted cauliflower florets with garlidc and herbs, and a head lettuce salad with chunky blue cheese dressing made with greek yogurt. We'll probably finish off the gingersnaps for dessert. -- Wayne Boatwright "One man's meat is another man's poison" - Oswald Dykes, English writer, 1709. |

Buy 4 and with an in-store coupon get 1 free. We got 5 bottles of Diet Coke and 5 bottles of Fresca. We've been enjoying the Fresca.
