Lunch: a bowl of the spicy five bean with barley soup I made a couple of
days ago. Topped with some Sargento shredded "Mexican" four cheese
blend. Quite tasty!

I've got an acorn squash in the oven:

I'm not sure what I'll be serving with the squash. I might pan fry a
small steak.

You?

It was tuna salad sandwich for lunch. No pictures, so it didn't
really happen.

Dinner will be eggs and toast. Washed down with a glass of milk.

We're going to Cash & Carry (restaurant supply) after lunch. I'm
fixing beef and bean enchiladas for dinner and I need some good, fresh
corn tortillas. C&C has the best in several sizes.
I'm also probably going to pick up a hunk of pork shoulder to break
down into 4 pieces, 3 for the deep freeze. I'm going to soak hominy
over night and then begin making posole in the morning. The piece of
pork shoulder will go into the posole.
The weather here is in the 20s and high humidity, so fog, fog, fog.
We're going to have an inversion for the next couple of weeks. It's
time for hearty soups, stews, etc.

Lunch for me was leftover chicken strips from Gus's Fried Chicken in
Memphis . We were down yesterday to see our 2 youngest grand daughters
in a school program and to deliver a birthday gift to the 3rd youngest
(also the 3rd oldest ...) so her birthday doesn't get lost in the
Christmas madness .

Â* Dinner will be some deer chili that I describe in another post ...
sure is smellin' good !

You get some bipolar weather up that way for sure - super hot dry
summers and then the winter cold gloom.

But that river path system is a gem, as too your city rose garden.

I had a nonexistent, unphotographed pastrami and mozzarella on wheat
for lunch today

a couple nights ago I made an omelette with black forest ham and
grated parmesan - it was really good!

the river Green Belt suffered quite a bit from damage due to flooding
late winter and spring due to beyond normal snowfall. Much of it has
been closed all year. They're going to have to cut way back into
surrounding land to re-establish the path -- potential conflict with
homeowners private property.

I didn't really have my shrimp and asparagus stir fry the other day on
RFC because there were no pictures, but I did have it on FB RFC.

Hi Jill, it's probably too late since they were ready, but we like to
make a side of bread stuffing with lots of sausage (a low fat sort,
angle cut) and add them either to the side or in the acorn depending on
the person here.

I had a non-existant lunch too. Don used hot-sweet chicken sauce to
marinade some boneless chicken thighs then paired it with a mushroom
rice with a white gravy and a mixed medly of beans with bell peppers
and mushrooms. Delicious in a 3 separated home-style TV dinner tray
with a side of cut orange.

Thanks Carol. I wasn't really interested in stuffing the squash. I had
my fill of bread dressing on Thanksgiving. I have another acorn squash
in the pantry. Maybe I'll stuff the next one.

The temps dropped here, too. It was 70F on Wednesday. Today the high

Seems to me I mentioned seeing a bag of those things in the freezer case
at Family Dollar. No sauce. Just the pre-formed patties that looked
like (from the picture on the bag) to be used for McRib's. Not
something I'd buy.

I actually just had peanut butter and strawberry jam. Had a dab of jam to
use up, the rest of the jar of peanut butter and the last of the bread. Plus
I was craving it. But...

I did make the lentils and Kielbasa. OMG was that good! I took a few tastes.
Didn't exactly follow the recipe. Needed two cups of broth but didn't have
quite that much in the fridge so added water and a cup of red wine. One
onion and two carrots, chopped, olive oil. Seasonings were two bay leaves,
oregano, garlic, sweet Hungarian paprika, salt and pepper. Kielbasa cut in
coins. Was curious about the cook time as some recipes said 45 min but one
said 20 minutes. Was perfect at 40 minutes. Made a pkg. of Rice A Roni pilaf
on the side to use it up. They'll eat it. I won't. I guess I would if I were
starving. It's not totally horrible. Just prefer other stuff. Have enough
lentils left to make a meal or large snack for someone. Actually, I might
just take a little along with something else for my bedtime snack. Sadly,
lentils spike my blood sugar badly so rarely eat them. Was really surprised
as I don't usually like kielbasa! But I think the rich seasonings made the
difference.

I don't remember seeing tortillas in mine but I haven't been in there for
awhile. I resorted to using some that are a mix of corn and flour as the
corn ones I find are always crappy as in fall apart right away.

You can stuff acorn squash with ground meat and rice, like stuffed
peppers... no bread. I sometimes stuff acorn squash with bulk Italian
saw-seege and nothing else... use hot or sweet, chefs choice.
In fact tonight's dinner will be hot Italian Saw-Seege... haven't
decided yet what with, maybe just a sandwich on Portuguese rolls,
bought some yesterday.

I'm glad the lentils turned out well! I've got some in the pantry and
will likely be making lentil soup in the next week or so. I should buy
some kielbasa...

Thanks! I love acorn squash. Heck, I love almost any kind of squash.
Only one exception: spaghetti squash, and that's only because I dislike
the texture.

True, Sheldon. I've got some hot Italian sausage in the freezer but
it's in casings. Of course I can always squeeze it out of the casings
if I decide to stuff the next squash. Are you having better luck
finding acorn squash now?

corn and a couple of corn that are thicker

this is a new thing for me too. I've made it once with some dry
hominy my daughter sent me from NM. My husband, who grew up
accustomed to canned hominy eaten as a side vegetable, says that the
dry hominy cooked up is far superior to the canned stuff. I found the
dry hominy in the bulk food section but you may find it elsewhere.

I can probably find it in the same section as the dried beans. I didn't
grow up eating hominy but I tried some canned golden hominy in the
1990's. To me, it tasted like popcorn.

I love soups and like spicy (not burn your mouth spicy).

I don't think I would rush out and make it without first trying it
somewhere. I can't remember ever seeing it on a menu here and hominy
just doesn't exist in this area. .... or.... Maybe it does. I recently
found a Latino store where I got some soft corn tortillas and chipotle.
The next time I go I will make a point of looking for grits and hominy.

Try it sometime, it's great but only if you like hominy.

I'm confused. Why did you respond? You had nothing interesting to
say, nothing that added to the discussion of posole and we already
know the kinds of things you eat.

posole means two things, hominy AND pork soup w/ hominy.

Bassically, Posole --the soup-- is menudo with pork instead of tripe.

Yes, the corn is "nixtamalized" corn, or hominy. Jaunita's Foods
sells both the large (no. 10) cans of hominy AND 32oz cans of the
Posole soup. Jaunita's Posole soup might jes be one of the best soups
sold in a can (if you can find it!).

Don't be confused (and don't be so bitchy this morning). Many
here often add in their opinion of food either good or bad. It's
a discussion group. Deal with it. It was on topic unlike many
posts here that are NOT.

There are none around here but I still have two humongous butternot
squash in the basement fridge. I'll roast those next I light the oven
for something. I sometimes slice off the seed end and stuff those....
but usually I slice several slits from the cavity to the stem end,
then when I fill the cavity with butter, honey, cinnamon, etc. it
travels through those runners to flavor the entire squash. Sometimes
I use the winter squash cavities to make baked apples.
I know your specialty is butternut squash soup so if you lived nearby
I'd be happy to give you all you can use. When my crop comes in I
give most away, I can't use them all. Unfortunately I don't like
pureed soups, hot or cold. We don't eat more than one pumpkin pie a
year so I'm not going to bake a butternut squash pie plus I don't eat
the crust, I detest pie crust. The only pie crust I like is graham
cracker or crushed cookie crusts... usually for cheesecake or
puddings... I'll have to think if graham cracker crust would work with
pumpkin pie. Everyone who has tried my Reese's Pieces Cheesecake
made with Nabisco Nutter Butter cookie crust loved it, but I don't
think peanut butter would work with pumpkin pie filling.

1 large package Nabisco Nutter Butter Sandwich Cookies
1 large bag Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures
2 1/2 pounds Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1 1/3 cups sugar
3 Tbs. flour
1 1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
1 1/2 tsp. grated orange zest
5 whole eggs + 2 yolks
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 tsp. vanilla

Preheat the oven to 400F. Butter the bottom, and sides of a 9"
springform pan. Crumb the cookies, and press into bottom, and 1/3 up
the sides of pan. Place 1 layer of peanut butter cups on bottom of
pan. ( remove paper cups )

In the bowl of a mixer, combine the cheese, sugar, flour, lemon ,
orange, and beat well. Add the eggs, and vanilla, and beat well. Add
the heavy cream,
and beat well.

Increase the oven to 550F. Pour the cheese mixture into the crust.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 200F, and bake for 1
hour. Turn off the heat and keep the oven door open wide. Let the
cake cool in the oven for 30 minutes.

Serves 8 to10

If you think kosher salt will make pork kosher you are nutz!

Anyways I'd never bother with that recipe... I much prefer beet root

When you visit Tybee Island you should be able to find both at the
supermarket. Since you're driving you can stock up.
