[fizzgig]

cupboards are bare here, so if i'm not in the mood for leftover soup, it'll be a gut bomb of instant mashed and corn or boxed mac and cheese. i'm so happy payday is tomorrow

With corn bread.....

2. yum

i have a bit of leftover cornbread, maybe i'll make some beans to slop over it.

6. My cornbread came out perfect using creamed corn and some chopped jalapeno in it.......

..... a trick I learned from "somebody" here on the Cooking & Baking Group.

I also threw in some chopped green bell pepper into the mixture. Had to adjust bake time a little bit from my "plain Jane" recipe but..... WOW! It's goooood!

3. Crockpot lamb shoulder roast.

Probably with a baked potato unless I get energetic enough to cook rice or noodles. It's too damn cold. At 1 PM it's still only 29°-which here in Austin is about 30 degrees below normal.

i don't know that we'll break double digits today.

enjoy your tasty dinner.

11. Fried chicken

with whipped potatoes and steamed carrots.

...and beer.



Edit: decided to make a honey/cayenne/tabasco dipping sauce for the fried chicken. Since the tabasco has vinegar in it, this ought to prove to be a sweet-sour dipping sauce, with extra cayenne pepper for heat. I hear this type of dip (or glaze) is pretty popular in the southern states, and it sounded awesome to me when I saw this on "Triple-D" the other day.

12. Fried tofu udon soup

With leks, mushrooms and spinach.

14. Club crackers layered with sliced cheddar, cucumber & red onion. Strawberries with yogurt.

Didn't feel like cooking. This fit the bill.

15. Jerk pork, corn on the cob and salad.

Had a friend over, that almost never happens, lol. She liked my cooking so she's going to come over more regularly.
