Tomorrow is a work day at home...much to do!!! A lazy dinner, not for the heart, cholesterol mined, but we haven't had this is a very long time so one night won't hurt.....eggs, bacon, toast, potato pancakes, saute mushrooms with bell peppers and onions.

hello diners! Just came across the captain's layered pork chop dinner discussion. I don't eat pork very often, but that does sound good. I may need a few more directions though.

One pork recipe I do like is Pork and Barley. Stuff the pork chops or loin with sauteed barley, peppers, onions, and celery (sometimes mushrooms too). Bake. Yum.

Tonight, despite the beef comments, I'm having a hamburger. My cooking energy went to breakfast because my son is home from college: French toast, my recipe, and topped with ground nuts, berries, nutmeg, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. He loves it.

ewww .. I'll cook and cut them up to make stuffing and gravy, but not as a stand alone dish. Too strong a flavor for me. Glad someone likes 'em. Better than wasting 'em.

I've had my oven go out on me in the middle of making a wedding cake! Argh!! Good thing I had a friend with a working oven and sense of humor. Arriving at 11 pm with a KitchenAid under your arm and a grocery bag of ingredients would not be viewed as funny by just anyone.

I used my Macys Rewards to "buy" me a Magic Bullet. I think with father being bedridden and only drinking nutrient drinks is as exciting as watching a snail cross the road. I've decided to just buy it and then wing it when it comes to making nutritious Variety of drink. We have growing in our yard 3 different kinds of mangos (Haden, regular and carabao mangos), bananas, papaya trees and orange. When I have time, I will google some healthy drink mix for him.

thx windy - I will wait and see what Kitchen Aid does when (if) they contact me. I have hand washed the parts as I wasn't sure if they were dishwasher proof. I find if I clean it right away it isn't bad. I will look for a Cuisinart immersion blender, My imm blender bit the dust a few months ago and I miss it. Roasted acorn squash is another fave. I would pass on the couscous - allergic to gluten - and add a green veggie. G and I stick with one high carb item per meal - e.g. potatoes or winter squash or biscuits or rice etc. and add veggies. Brussel sprouts or asparagus are good with it. Spaghetti squash is one of my current likes.

Emjo, I've been impressed with my Hamilton Beach food processor for going on 6 years. Got it through a rewards program my husband had at work. I wanted a Kitchen Aid but wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. It's been sturdy as heck until recently with my pizza dough making bout. I've had to keep my hand on the top to hold it down when the dough gets really bound.

For veggies and soups it's great. Does slicing and shredding in seconds. Love it except for the cleaning as is with all FP. It's all dishwasher friendly though so that's good.

For small work, I love, love, love my Cuisinart immersion blender. That puppy is SO easy to clean. Whip up your dressing. Pour in serving container. Whip up soap and hot water in the cleaning container. Whir, rinse and you're done. Did I mention I love my it? Yes. I'm a nerd...

Gosh, those pork chops sound so good. Roasted acorn squash and some couscous on the side? :)

Pork chops sound good cap and eclairs. I made eclairs a couple of lifetimes ago. My fave pork chop recipe these days is smother them in mustard and brown them then into the oven with apple wedges(skins on), raisins and even dates if you like, lots of cinnamon (some cloves and nutmeg optional). cover with foil and bake till done

thx ladeeC. I have a blender, which is getting old grant you (20yrs?)and will need to be replaced soon, but need size for soups. What I need is the slicing/shredding function of a food processor. I posted on the Kitchen Aid face book site saying I was not impressed and why and they promised to get in touch with me. Someone else had done that for a similar reason and got a replacement, so I will hang on till I see what they offer.

For supper tonight - chicken breast with mushrooms, onion and spinach in a coconut sauce flavoured with ginger, lime, and garlic and a good shake of roasted red pepper flakes.. It passes the taste test! I will serve it on pasta or with brown/wild rice for G and without the extra carbs for me. Saving the rest of the bag of spinach for a strawberry spinach salad tomorrow.

Has anyone tried black pepper on strawberries? Mm mm good!

i like to vertically stack chops in a bread pan with generous amounts of light veg / apple stuffing between each chop. a can of whole kernel corn in the stuffing makes the stuffing the best part of the meal.
keep the stuffing pretty moist..

Tonight my daughter and I are taking a cooking class, and we'll eat there, as the instructor finishes each item and passes it around. Really looking forward to it!

gonna be hard to beat homemade eclaires. puff pastry. high temp, steam is the rising agent. the dough has to be so light its formed into bars via a bread bag with a hole in the corner. these bars emerge from the oven hollow. pump em full of custard, choc ice, and hit em with crushed peanuts.
if you dont have a caulking gun hanging in the kitchen, you aint livin right..

eating an apple, medium sized, a day is great for constipation. also drinking at the least, in addition to anything else you drink everyday, 8 cups of water will help keep things moving.
beef is also high is sodium, and will cause water retention. we eat too much beef in my house, but i swear i don't know what we are going to be able to afford to eat at this rate today.
paczki's,///// I don't like them, they are too heavy a pastry for my taste, or maybe I havent' had one made by someone who knows what they are doing. I tend to crave salty stuff, and my hubby wants the sweets. of course, I have high blood pressure, and he is diabetic, par for the course huh? HA

aunt edna has some constipation trouble. duh? shes been eating roast beef subs nearly every day. beef is the most difficult to digest. our last sandwich was white chicken . she liked it and seemed to understand that the chicken digests more easily but said the roast beef was sure good. ( ednas chuckle ) .
her vision with the new specs is better than mine. i oughtta let her drive and i could cack zans and wash em down with everclear. lol
eh, i got her some otc stool softeners. cvs no longer carries chia seeds. dam shame. softened chia seeds are the cure for worst case constipation.

Paczki.

(not only is today Paczki Day, but tomorrow Mom starts a low-iodine diet, so we're letting her live it up for a day before she starts)

(For those of you from other parts of the world, the US is now crazy for Paczki, which are deep-fried, filled donuts originating in Poland, but with extra fat and cholesterol in them, probably making a regular jelly-filled donut almost a health food, in comparison.)
