What's for Dinner?

[jamespowers]

Good Lord man!
I'm a Southerner but I swear I'm not eating anything "livers."
I've eaten some weird stuff before, but never those.

Friday night, so the wife wanted pizza.
4 meat again.

Steak tomorrow, as I've had it in the fridge since Wednesday, with Arby's fries and Tapatio hot sauce.
Pizza again Sunday night, or at least cooking it for the upcoming week.
I have 3lbs of cheese go use, since I didn't make them last week!

You will eat all kinds of nasty greens but you won’t eat liver?! :doh:

I don't eat greens.
Grew them, picked them, and cooked them, but never liked to eat them.
I had family members that loved the stuff, so I learned how to do the above.
Those members are all but gone, but we have enough restaurants in town that serve greens, so you don't have to stink up your house to have them. Like someone would....:eeek:
No, down here, my favorite (although rarely eaten anymore) Southern dish is either of the following:
Fried okra
Fried chicken
Green beans with bacon in them, cooked for at least 3hrs slowly
Buttermilk biscuits made at home
From childhood, I've eaten many a meal that included ALL of those items.
While I learned how to make each one(from my grandmother), I don't do so very often now.

Please tell me you mean pan-fried okra. I can't stand that deep fried stuff with more batter than okra. Pan-fried summer squash is a long time favorite of mine, battered with corn meal. And a big +1 to the slow cooked green beans and bacon. I also love black eyed peas (not the kind with Fergie).

Pulled pork BBQ sandwiches with cole slaw, potato salad, cornbread, hot sauce, and plenty of cold beer.

Tonight - caldo de res

Homemade chili.

 

[Babydoll]

Beef (stew meat), clean-out-the-fridge-of-leftover-bits-of-veggies, and noodles (some fancy ruffled trumpet shaped ones I can never remember the name of) soup.

Maybe I should just call it Throw It In The Pot Soup.

Okra (however you make it) is nasty. I would much rather eat liver wit bacon on top. Greens are for rabbits. uke:









Today is deep fried pork steaks.

Please tell me you didn't ruin it with a whole head of cabbage

I like liver (with onions and bacon) but then, I grew up in a Dutch household where they ate things like head cheese and pickled herring.

Liver OK but I draw the line at head cheese and pickled herring. If you are not familiar the head cheese is bits of meat scraped off a pig's head suspended in clear gelatin and the herring are eaten raw like sushi.

Another thing we had was kale, I haven't seen it for nearly 50 years now all of a sudden it is a fashionable vegetable. Who would have suspected that? It was always food for the poor, that would grow in inhospitable northern gardens. How it became a fad I don't know.

Homemade pizza.
Pepperoni, and steak.

 

[dh66]

We had homemade pizza last night too.

Well, the crusts were store bought, but we put our own toppings (pepperoni and olives) and cheese on them.

That's what we do.
I don't make the crusts anymore, just don't have the time.
The crusts we get are Mama Mary's Ultra Thin.
Lower in carbs than anything else on the market, and big enough that 2 feed us for 2 meals.
If I'm so inclined, I can make the pizza hut sauce, but in a pinch I grab the classic right next to the crusts at Walmart.
The pepperoni used to be thick cut, but Walmart quit selling it here. So I double up ala pepperoni lovers style, with Italian seasonings mixed in with various white cheeses, onions, and bell peppers.
The cheeseburger has coarse pepper, salt, garlic, and a few other spices. Marble cheddar and sometimes a few other cheddars mixed in, with black pepper mixed in, with bacon and onions.
Parmesan cheese on top, browned with the oven broiler setting before cutting.
For my own personal taste, I add crushed red peppers to my pieces.

Gregg, you and Dale got me all worked up about homemade pizza, so that is what we are having tonight.

Chicken spaghetti tonight.

Last night we had BBQ chicken.

One of my wife's hair clients traded her a bunch of chickens (plucked and cleaned already) from their farm for haircuts for her whole family.

Take out pizza

 

[Gregg Axley]

I should have gone there.
The wife works late on Friday, and I was too tired to cook.
So I went to Wendy's, DH I spent $5 dollars less than you for 2 burgers and 2 medium fries!
Nevermore....
