We caught a several brown trout, one blackfish and one perch. We made a fire with a hotplate on top and cooked them that way. I also brought some kangaroo in red wine sausages, just in case we got no fish. Cooked them as well anyway. Dinner tonight will be something bought while I am in town, as I'm going in to pick up my new speakers that have finally been made... I won't have the time nor interest in cooking anything tonight, rather play with my new toy(s). |

I'd probably settle for the barley as my carb. Anyway, I had a BLT (with extra L) and a glass of milk. I'd intended to grill some chicken but it turned out too windy, so I whipped a serving of bacon out of the freezer. Grilled chicken tonight, probably on a bed of romaine with balsamic vinaigrette.

Except if making a sandwich like hot beef or turkey, then I drop the sliced meat into the hot gravy for just a few seconds before putting it on the bread. That way the meat doesn't taste reheated.

Even bread sauce if there is any. Dad loved sandwiches made from leftover, cold stew. When one of the drivers in his company said he'd forgotten his lunch tin, Dad gave him a sandwich. The driver raved about it and took some convincing that it was made with beef stew. From then on, many of the drivers' wives made their hubbies stew sandwiches. Graham |

I've never tried whipped bacon but it sounds worth a try. ![]() The other day, I bought a package of scrapple with bacon. That's really good. The bacon bits really take it to a much better level. > Grilled chicken tonight, probably on a bed of romaine with > balsamic vinaigrette. I've got my last 2 boneless, skinless breasts thawing on the counter right now. Will cook them in an hour or so. Sounds good for today PLUS that gets rid of all my old chicken. Tomorrow I'm planning to buy a 10lb bag of chicken/leg quarters for only 48 cents per pound. I'll cook a 9X13 pan with some bbq sauce and freeze the rest. :-D |

Many love leftover meatloaf sandwiches the next day. I've had them. They are OK but not all that to me. I much rather reheat the meatloaf (and leftover mashed potatoes) and eat it all hot. |

Are you people for real? All these nasty comments about just reheated meat of any kind? Good grief! plastic-y gamey rancid metallic Really? LOL! :-D |

Good grief! > > plastic-y > gamey > rancid > metallic > > Really? LOL! :-D Really. That's how it tastes to us. You can't usefully criticize people on the basis of their sensory apparatus. For example, I pity people for whom cilantro tastes like soap, but I can't criticize them for not liking it. (I can criticize them for mocking it, as if their experience is the sum total of human existence.) As far as reheated meat goes--if you like it, eat it. I'll refrain, unless doing so would be discourteous (for example, if you invited me to dinner and fed me reheated meat). Cindy Hamilton |

I don't particularly like the taste of plain water... no matter how pure it is. Your metallic description reminded me as I get the same with water. |

Maybe I just don't know how to use a microwave effectively but I have never seen much need to learn when there are other methods that work. Some meats are good reheated in gravy... being careful not to heat it to the point of separation. |

The purer it is the less taste their is. In past discussions on bottled water and municipal water some people have said that their local tap water tastes bad. My first experience with bad municipal water was last month when I had a 5-1/2 hour layover at the airport in Newark. With the price of bottled water already being inflated o airport prices and with our currently devalued dollar, I tried the water from the drinking fountain. Blech! It was foul. |

All municipal water is foul, some will disagree but IMO that's down to what you've become accustomed too. I my case I'm talking about rain and mountain stream water. Water has an aftertaste and nobody can tell me otherwise ![]() You made note of the price of bottled water. If only people knew what's to come in the future. All the investment activity with the world's water supplies, including aquifers, hasn't been because they plan to give it away. Water has been the new oil for at least a decade now. Younger generations will pay a small fortune for water. |

I use mine mostly to do things such as thaw and pre-heat frozen pies, then into the gas or wood oven. Or some manual defrosting... by 'manual' I mean not use the auto-defrost function... I've never found a microwave that did the job very well without partially cooking the meat. |

I never had issues with the taste of water. I have drunk water across Canada and never had a problem with the taste. I have have drunk municipal water in a number if US states; MIchigan, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvaniam Virginia, West Virgina, Colorado and California. It was only in Newark NJ that the water tasted bad. I have also had it in France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Estonia, Sweden and Denmark.... no problems. |
