I am definately obsessed with food! I got the 6 piece strip meal with coleslaw & mashed potatoes & gravy. Should have been mac & cheese but oh well. It's all equally un-healthy. and good.

I have been reading your posts on FB on your latest culinary feats!! They all sound so good. I am going to have to start subscribing to that.

With that said, I had Rice Krispies and MrB had Spaghettios. Um, yeah.

I go thru phases where I have to try all these new things. My girls (the 2 oldest) want me to teach them to cook so I am embracing that and having a blast cooking with them!! I am getting them monogrammed aprons for Christmas!

I had 2 pickled eggs, a smirnoff ice, several bud light limes (These things are surprisingly refreshing), and am about to start in on the Soco n limes. Because I drink alone. Yeah. With nobody else. Because you know....when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Let me tell you what Ide rather be "eating" for dinner...

Lime is very refreshing! I like Corona with lime, too but BLL is cheaper and I don't have to slice limes...not good to do after you've had a few!

Awww! That is so awesome! I love to cook, but I am just so hot by the time I get home the last thing I feel like doing is cooking. When it cools off I'll cook my butt off again.

Dood. That made me throw up in my mouth a little and laugh all at the same time..... Don't you know that pickled eggs are THE most disgusting thing on the face of this earth????

Clearly youve never had pickled pigs feet. Eggs are the least of you worries. I actually have 2 different recipes for making pickled eggs (and yes I make them myself, though i cheat sometimes and get store-bought) I can make pickeld eggs that even naysayers like.

[surepip]

Cod fillets Vera Cruz, basmati rice, garden beans and salad.

I have not done a Vera Cruz in ages. Garden peppers [bells, bananas and jalapenos] onion, tomatoes, parsley, garlic cooked down to a nice sauce with oregano and bay leaves. Then at then end capers and green olives. Brown the fillets in butter, and pour the sauce over them and bake covered for 10 to 12 minutes. Son and his flame and the Mrs were all suitable impressed.

A nice Pinot Grigio and homemade feta cheese dressing for the salad with my very first batch of homemade feta cheese. This is my current project, learning to make cheese with Milk so cheap. I have done feta and mozarella and am going to tackle a harder cheddar next.

You must send me the recipe. Though I have a confession: i can't make hasbrowns. Unless they are frozen and preformed.

No joke, my husband made throw up (literally) in a gas station on a Sunday morning after a weekend of drinking and bonfires after playing around with one of those huge pickled egg jars on the counter next to the register. Now, aren't you glad you know that?

[SPORTS SOURCE]

I cooked a big meal for the family Sunday evening and in conversation mentioned I would be baking a strawberry cake on Tuesday. My 6 yr old DGD looked up at her Mom with those huge blue eyes and said, "I WANT TO COME HERE TUESDAY EVENING". LOL. SO.........I ordered one of the DGD's favorites which is the chicken alfredo pasta from Pizza Hut. Cannot beat two pans of pasta and cheese bread for $11.00!! I made the cake and DH told me I outdid myself - I have to agree - it was the best one I've ever made. So moist it fell apart. The strawberry creme cheese frosting held it together pretty good. YUMMMMMMM.

Dang! I thought I made a good dinner until I read yours! The cod sounds good, we are trying to eat more fish...that is why I have experimented with lots of salmon recipes. I would LOVE to know how to make homemade feta. We go thru tons of the pre-packaged in my house so I am sure I would save a lot making it myself.

NC, I can't make hashbrowns unless they are pre-packaged. I love the southwest ones!

Everything sounds good, except the pickled eggs...and I am also craving ribs from another thread!
