A Meal Out of Nothing

[58limited]

~Actually it's a French thing.
~My family has used dinner = noon meal & supper = evening meal for long as I can recall. My Mom claims to be 1/4 French, but I dunno if that's the source of it, LOL


Its a Southern' thang. No French in my family, just Central and West Texan. We say dinner for lunch and supper for dinner, always have. Long 'bout sunset we all mosey in and eat, paw always seems to tump over his glass of coke (which in Texas means any carbonated soft drink).

I mix and match words now due to my Northern college buds and from living in different areas.

Coke

Yeah, we call it a cold drink. As in "Get me a col' drink out tha ice box, please".

It is not just a southern thing.......it is a COUNTRY THING

My mom is from Yankton County South Dakota and there the noon meal is always called DINNER and the evening meal is called SUPPER!!!!! Oh and Bob I do not think that crack about that being a redneck thing should be made by anyone who lives in a state that has produced some of the reddest necks I have ever met in my life (and no I am not talking abpout anyone I have met through this club so relax).

dinner, supper, whatever

The nice thing about pressure cookers is you can throw together just about anything with rice or potatoes or turnips or carrots in next to no time.
My "nail soup":
Lots of skinned potatoes, cut into spoon size chunks.
One onion, chopped fine. (Sorry, Jack).
Big shot or two of white wine, whiskey or tequila, minus worm.
Butter or olive oil. Lots.
Any vegetables including lettuce (cut really fine) left over.
Apples cored and sliced if cabbage is in the game.
Salt, pepper (lots), garlic (at least rubbed once around the pot, better cut fine and dissolved in salt first.
Vegetarian broth cubes or powder without MSG.
Enough water to make a good broth.
Steam at high pressure 10-12 minutes.
Perfection
Where I come from, by the by, we worry more about making sure folks have a good meal than what we call it.

I love to cook. The older I get, the more I appreciate really well made, simple foods---a flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth beef roast; a perfectly seasoned chicken; a simple, fresh-tasting red sauce for pasta.

The whole "Eye of Newt with Chive-Mango sauce and Twice- Charred Sponge Foam" just doesn't do it for me, anymore.

March through May are crazy for me, workwise, so I live on leftovers. I make a lot of food on Sunday, then parse it out for the week.
