DINNER!!!

[perc-o-prince]

Not the beat conditions for grilling a London Broil outdoors

There's never a bad time for grilling! Done it in the sun, the dark, the rain, the snow, the wind... This is why I go through, oh, maybe 6-8 tanks of propane a year!

Looks GREAT Gary! I LOVE chicken and dumplings on a cold wintery day (haven't done it w/ a beef-based stew)! I have a couple of leg quarters thawing for tomorrow's dinner. I was going to toss them in well-seasoned breadcrumbs and bake tham, but maybe dumplings are called for! Let's see how tomorrow pans out!

Love dumplings, epecially sweet yeast dumplings drowning in

...or hot custard, or saturated with melted butter and sprinkeld with lots of sugar and cinnamon.

Right now it's too hot and humid for that kind of fare. Thus, I am currently munching on a plain old celery stick.

The purhcase of a SS steaming pot, I thought was a bit much.

A friend of mine who is obsessed with foreign...er international ..cultures treated me to a fabulous dinner.

You see he went to a local "H-Mart" that which is a Chinese/Japanese/Korean market.

Dinner consisted of marinated Korean-style beef strips that he pan-fried and "stuffed" dumplings ("pot-stikers") that he steamed, some of which got fried.

I think he said the greens were mustard greens, simply boiled.

YUM!

Supper tonight is going to be Hungarian Goulash, made with ground venison, served on a bed of rice, instead of noodles.

Sandy, your recipe looks great!

When one REALLY has to cheat, one can buy frozen meatballs. Throw them in a few jars of sauce, add some wine and as you suggest veggies, and let it all stew away in the slow cooker.

I've had Italian-Americans RAVE over my fake stuff. They don't EXPECT me to cheat. That and sauteeing some garlic and stinking up the house and my guests BELEEVE it's all home-made. LOL

Lately I've been putting spare-ribs in my tomato sauce as the meat, whether the suace was made from scratch or with a little help from the food processing industry of America. Apprently, bones provide a very easily digestible and absorbable form of calcium the body needs, once the acid of the tomatoes gets to it!

Toggles:

Believe me, no one cheats like a recovering foodie. There was a time when I would have begun with pecks of tomatoes.

As they say in the Georgia countryside, them days is gone.
