What's For Supper?

Salt beef is beef cured in Brine then boiled, and cut into slices ..usually thick but I like mine thin.

The Uk salt beef is not to be confused with UK corned beef which is different again to American corned beef

 

Yesterday I found some amazingly Washington Sweet Cherries (looks like Bing cherries on steroids) for $1.99 a pound, so I got three pounds (one for eating, the other two for a pie). Last cherry pie I made some weeks ago was the first one that ever turned out perfect, so I'm hankering to see if that was a fluke. Today I'm having spaghetti (and my sauce I keep on hand) for a quickie supper, so I can devote full effort on the pie. Spaghetti is like Chinese food, I'll likely be starving before bed, so I figure a couple cheese sandwiches later on.

 

Not bad. Definitely enough for a meal.

 

Tonight was a cheeseburger made with a MorningStar Farms Grillers Prime patty topped with reduced fat American cheese on a toasted lite English muffin and a big fat Claussen dill pickle.

At least the pickle was the real deal, LOL!!!

 

Cornbread pinto beans with onion meat and link sausage. It was good to

 

I made home made Egg fried rice.. with soy and plum sauce... and just had it as an addition to some Smoked trout...

 

I tried this chickpea curry from Lean Cuisine tonight with a Dole fruit bowl, gotta love coupons!

I wasn't crazy about the use of coconut in a savory dish but the low calories and high fiber will earn it another trip to the table.

 

This is something I make often, until I get tired of it---ground beef, onions, rice and green peas. Today was one of those days. Don't mind food touching if the pieces are under 1 cm in diameter. Then I just call it curry.

 

Pan fried catfish and shrimp..hush puppies and potatoes with bell pepper and onion. Yum

 

Tonight I had a shrimp cocktail with a few celery & carrot sticks, black olives, and whole wheat crackers.

I was disappointed in the shrimp they were sort of limp and mushy as opposed to firm and crunchy. I'm not sure if that is a reflection on my cooking or the shrimp themselves.

 

This is my favorite shrimp cocktail...Mexican!

 

Last night I had their Country Fried Steak again.

It was as easy to cut and chew as a Pumpkin Pie!

I don't know what steer and stein is..I presume a steak house?



We've just got home from having Chinese food... yummmy.... we had King prawns in Peking chilli sauce, pork ribs in BBQ sauce.. and Egg fried rice... ..brought the bags of Prawn crackers and fortune cookies home with us unopened..

My wife worked with a Chinese-born lady, who, upon eating Chinese food brought in from one of the local restaurants, proclaimed it to be adulterated to suit American "tastes": almost everything tasted sweet, unlike the foods she grew up with.
