Tonight I'm making salmon patties with sauteed green beans. Not very
exciting, perhaps, but quite tasty.

What's on your menu for tonight?

Spaghetti for him (salad on the side), probably a salad with leftover
grilled chicken on it for me.

Not a criticism at all (I promise!) but it seems you eat a lot of
grilled chicken on salad greens. Don't you get tired of it?

Angela went through a phase like that when she was younger. Chicken was the
only meat she would eat. She like chicken on salad with a sesame dressing
that Costco sells every few years.

My meals for just myself have a lot of sameness. For instance, my breakfast
is almost always cottage cheese and toast. When I was working I had salad
for lunch every day. I might have varied the veggies a bit.

We like variety ... well , at least I do and since I do most of the
cookin' ... I try not to serve the same meat or "genre" two nights in a
row . Tonight pork fajitters , tomorrow mid-America pot roast and
Tuesday it's Cajun red beans and rice . She got me my own recipe file ...

If you don't mind, I'd rather Cindy answer the question since she's the

Jill still doesn't understand how newsgroups work. Makes me doubt she

Not really. I have several different dressings that I rotate through.

Don't forget that I work. I come home, get dinner on the table as
quickly as possible, and go to bed early.

That sounds very sad and workaholic.

All the stuff most people do after work and before bed, I do in the morning.

Anyway, I didn't mean to imply that I go to bed immediately after dinner.
Just that my evenings are relatively short, by choice.

Okay, different dressings make sense. Thanks for answering my question.

Hey, it's not as if I've never worked. For years I had to be at work by
7AM and I usually showed up by 6:30AM. I got off work at 3:30 or 4PM.
Sometimes did some grocery shopping, came home, cooked. I was tired and
went to sleep by 10PM.

I was just curious about the frequent reference to grilled chicken and
salad. It sounds repetitive but as long as it works for you I am
definitely not criticizing.

That dinner has been postponed until a late lunch tomorrow
(2:30PMish). Had too much blood sucked out of me today and didn't
feel like cooking. Instead, dinner was highly modified $1 Totino's
pizza (added cheese, pepperoni, and hot giardiniera) and some spicy
epazote potatoes.

It took me three days to get that dinner this far (marinating + SV),
it can wait another 20 hours.

Why? I'm an American and I haven't made salmon patties in at least
four, maybe 5 months.

I love salmon patties, but I havent had them in years. Since DH went to
go check on the Florida house, its just my DD and I at home this weekend.
Its an uncomfortable 40 degrees out so a comfort classic, hamburger
€œhotdish€�, is on the menu for tonight.

I just looked that up. Sounds good. I see many variations after
beef and egg noodles. How do you make yours?

No noodles. Its pretty much scalloped potatoes with carrots, and browned
hamburger (with diced onion) instead of ham. The ratio of meat and carrot
to potato is higher, too., like 1/3 each. Mixed with a basic scalloped
potato sauce (no cream of soup). Dont skimp on salt and pepper else its
pretty dang bland. Then baked a long dang time until the carrots and
potatoes are soft, which depends on how thin you cut them. Hard to screw
up and my kid likes it. I only make it when its the two of us home.

If I were to re-write the recipe using noodles, Id omit the carrot, add
mushrooms, use cream of mush soup and call it stroganoff hotdish. Ha!

I have made similar but no carrots. Need to try with carrots.

Im not even sure my recipe is a €œreal€� recipe€”its just something my mom
made when I was a kid and my daughter likes it, so I make it for her. Ive
never, ever seen nor heard of it anywhere else. I just googled it and
cant even find anything super similar online (although I didnt search
long).

Potatoes, carrots, hamburger, onions, flour, milk, butter, salt, pepper.

You described it in another reply as scalloped potatoes. My mother
occasionally made scalloped potatoes with a white sauce but the meat was
usually cubed ham or browned sliced smoked sausage. It was tasty.
She didn't call it a "hotdish", though.

Now I'm thinking I need to make scalloped potatoes sometime soon!

As €œlike€� scalloped potatoes, but not scalloped potatoes. Like your moms,
scalloped potatoes have ham, not hamburger and carrots. I was using that
comparison as a descriptor to give Gary an idea what the finished product
was like. Scalloped potatoes arent €œhotdish€� in my house (a small
technicality)€”theyre a side item.

Yep, I can see my error now. I should have said €œlike€� but didnt. This is
NOT scalloped potatoes, but when you add a white sauce to potatoes and
bake, the basic outcome isnt much different. :-)

I can't help wondering why all the female former housemates left.

When you advertised vacancies, why didn't they jump at the chance to
move back in to a newly renovated home at low rent with free taxi
service and meals laid on?

Why won't they live with you any more?

He mentioned elsewhere her she was too busy studying on her actual
birthday to go out to dinner with him. I'm betting she wanted to spend
it with *real* friends and people her own age. She sure didn't jump at
the chance to move back in.

Two bitching little biddies, peeking through the crack between the

The bitching, the badmouthing, the meddling, the gossiping. Classic
judgemental bitching biddies.

Â* I don't usually cook when she works nights , but ... I'm planning
pork loin steaks pounded , breaded , and pan fried (I'd grill , but it's
raining ...gotta get some kind of roof over at least part of the deck !)
accompanied by leftover smashed taters and leftover green beans . She'll
probably slice up the other steak for a chef salad tomorrow for her
at-work "lunch" . Which is actually dinner .

Not sure yet. I have fennel and Delicata squash to roast but it's warm today
so might wait on those until it gets cooler. Have to go to the store.
Depends on when I get back.

We had burgers. Cubes of chuck was hacked to pieces with my cleaver. I don't recommend that old folks use this method because they might lose something that they planned on taking with them in their afterlife. I put a couple of peppers on the chuck and chopped that all to heck too. The burgers were served with some buttered squash, cucumber/carrot with sesame dressing, and kim chee.
