I didn't feel like cooking. I bought a some cooked pork spare ribs at
the grocery store, and turnip greens to go with them. I did bake the
cornbread from scratch There will be plenty of leftovers tomorrow
(or for the freezer).

What is/was on your dinner menu?

I didn't cook either. Daughter is having a sandwich from Winco. Also a big
salad. Husband has fried chicken, potato salad and macaroni salad, also
from Winco. And it is likely that he will have the fruit platter that I did
make, also from Winco. I have a bowl of refried beans with some salsa and
green onion on top which I will be eating with a few Toasted Corn Doritos
and also a big salad.

A T-bone steak, a baked potato and fresh broccoli. The steak was on sale.

We ate out for lunch too, but hubby gets hungry so we ordered in.

Last night was pizza. I'd had a pizza at lunch that had eggplant,
bocconccini, artichoke hearts and pepperoni and a few other things on it.
I'd shared some of it with Himself - he enjoyed it so much he thought he'd
like one for dinner. I'd have preferred something else.

He usually does the pizza base but he'd stabbed hiimself with his Leatherman
in the fat part of his thumb so I had to make it. Just after I'd set it
for the first rise he came in to tell me a heifer was in trouble calving so
we had to go deal with that with him with a gammy hand.

We ate at about 9. Tonight it's a dead easy dinner because I'm tired and
we've got small grand children coming to sleep over - sausages, mash and
other kiddie pleasing veg. Tomorrow it's another easy dinner - pork
medallions stuffed with apricots and stuffing mix and a mixed greed salad.

Wait a second... you cut a whole *platter* full of fruit?

I don't mind cutting most fruit. It's mainly just the melons I don't like.
Also dislike papayas and mangos. Don't like the slippery/sticky stuff.
Yeah, someone will make something of that.

Garden salad with tri-color pasta tossed with caesar dressing.

Shelley's up to his old tricks again.

Now, now, Shelley. Don't mislead people about your culinary endeavors.
Normal people expect caesar dressing to have olive oil, garlic,
parmesan, anchovy, and so forth. Let's be truthful, shall we?

Sh-sh-shelley's TIAD Seizer Salad Dissing

1 cup mayo
half a bunch of wilted parsley
a fish head or two, ground to a gritty pulp
mustard to taste, or whatever's left in the jar
20 packets of fast-food pepper
6-pack of beer (for the guests)

Make a big mess in a bowl. Take a big ol' spoon and slop the
mess on what passes for "salad" chez Katz. Glare angrily
until victims have ingested the slop.

No problem cutting fruits and vegetables, although I have to be careful
when I peel mangoes because they are so darn slippery - I see what you
mean on that one. Butternut and acorn squash are hard to cut open, so I
nuke them for a minute or two, then they cut open just fine.

Don't forget you buy pre-cut apples, too. How are you on peeling
oranges? All that bitter pith under your fingernails shiver. Not
much left now except grapes.

Yeah. I buy the precut because they are treated and come in individual
packages. I don't think I have peeled an orange since I was a kid. If I do
prepare them I supreme them. But nobody in this house is big on oranges. I
do like grapefruits but dislike eating them from a half. I used to buy the
cups at Costco. They were yummy. Then they changed brands and were so
bitter that I didn't like them. I don't buy grapes too often. Mainly only
when my husband is home and if I can get them for cheap. Daughter won't eat
the here. Once in a while she will eat one or two at my parent's house.
They often have some sitting out.

I have had bad experiences with squash. When I got the CSA boxes I once got
a small squash that we all really loved. I mean really! So I went looking
for another one but couldn't find it. I could have sworn that it said that
it was a Delica squash. I could only find Delicata and they didn't look the
same. Or taste the same. We didn't like it. But when I bought some bigger
squashes I had a heck of a time cutting them up. The worst one ever was the
spaghetti squash. I must have been particularly stupid when I bought that.
It was HUGE! Wouldn't fit in my microwave and I had to use my canner to
cook it because it was so large. Somebody had given me instructions to boil
it for a certain amount of time, then cut it open and remove the strands.

Well... Dealing with a boiling hot and overly huge squash is not fun to
begin with but even after being cooked the darned thing didn't want to be
cut! I did finally manage to get a part of it cut open and some of the
strands removed. I also seriously misjudged the amount of time it would
take to prepare this did. It was some sort of casserole that had the
strands, some sort of tomato product or sauce (can't remember now), cheese
and some seasonings. It had to bake in the oven. I wound up throwing most
of the squash away and we all deemed the end result of all my work as
inedible!

I was also defied by sweet potatoes. I could not cut them no matter now
hard I tried. I did manage to peel them but as I recall, that was
difficult. And then I baked the hell out of them. I mean I baked those
suckers for hours and they never would get tender. I have never tried to
cook them from scratch since but I think I will in the future because
daughter can eat them on her diet.

Another annoying vegetable is the red beet. I love beets! And I have heard
countless people say that freshly roasted ones are really the best. After
doing this a few times I have realized that for me they are really no better
than the canned ones. They are a tad bit hard to peel and they will stain.
So once in a while if I find some golden beets or other fancy ones, I will
buy and roast those. Because I have never seen the canned ones. But
otherwise I just stick to the canned. My dad and I both love beets. But
nobody else in the family will eat them.

Chayote is another tricky one. Once peeled they give off a slippery sort of
gel that can be irritating to the hands. Peeling under water helps but that
only really just makes them more slippery.

I mostly don't mind dealing the veggies although cutting them up and peeling
them can be somewhat boring. At least they are not sticky.
