[NewWaveChick1981]

1. Hamburgers.

:hi: I fixed 'em myself. :) Local beef (no hormones, antibiotics, etc.), purchased at the Farmer's Market from a reputable local merchant. They were wonderful. :)

[Inchworm]

2. I was given some beef like that

When my daughter's BF gave me the meat he said, "this ain't grocery store meat. It's from our family cow; no hormones, no meds, good health."

Yummy!

:hi:

[AwakeAtLast]

3. I had leftover homemade mac and cheese

It was either that or leftover fajitas. :9

[Inchworm]

7. Thats where my ingredients came from

left overs :D

:hi:

[hippywife]

4. One of my favorite sammiches!

Hard salami on soft wheat with fresh garden tomato with salt and pepper and sliced pepperoncini! Lays potato chips and M&M's, some sweet fresh muskmelon and sweet fresh pineapple chunks! Best lunch ever!

[Inchworm]

[The Straight Story]

5. Homemade Carne Asada Tacos

The wife has em marinating now. She made some yesterday too, and they rocked.

I got a head start with a corona with lime :)

[Inchworm]

9. Thats grilled strips of steak on tacos?

I think thats right.. right? :P

:shrug:

[The Straight Story]

12. Yep, not sure of the exact type of steak

She cubes them in small pieces, marinates, cooks, adds onions and cilantro. Last night she added a jalapeño while cooking. We only had two each so there was plenty left to cook (we thawed the whole pack of steak) so going to have more shortly.

MMM MMM good (and she might make some homemade guacamole too!)

[Inchworm]

14. Thats it!

I'm coming over :)

[The Straight Story]

22. You bring the beer, I'll supply the meat

At least that's what I usually tell people :rofl:

[Inchworm]

24. Will do!

Corona wasn't it?

:beer:

[The Straight Story]

47. Well I just fininshed lunch

And it was damned good, she toasted the tortillas and I washed it all down with the Cornoa/lime.

Ahhhhh. Nap time! :)

[Inchworm]

49. Too Funny

I just finished my siesta! :P

[janx]

26. Damn, I'm going to have to look that one up!

The Corona-with-lime doesn't sound bad either. I had a couple of those a week ago at a wedding.

[BarenakedLady]

6. Leftover pasta

from last night.

[Inchworm]

11. Yup its a leftover day!

I try to get creative but.. sometimes its easier to just eat the salad :P

btw: flirt- flirt- flirt :loveya:

:hi:

[janx]

10. ...CHICKEN SALAD...

:evilgrin: :rofl:

[Inchworm]

13. What else is in that salad?

:D

:hi:

[janx]

18. I treated myself and got it at the co-op.

So the ingredients read:

organic chicken breast

organic celery

org onion

spectrum canola mayo

tarragon

sage

basil

yellow mustard

They try to make it sound really hip by putting organic before a lot of the ingredients. That way they can justify the outrageous price. I don't know why the tarragon, sage, basil and yellow mustard weren't listed as organic.

Think I should complain? :rofl:

[Inchworm]

19. Hehe!

Start a petition!

We need more organic organics!

:rofl:

[MysticalChicken]

21. I'm feeling adventurous, so ThinkBlue1966 is off at the store getting

the necessary ingredients for me to make a traditional English "cream tea". We're having homemade scones, Devon clotted cream, strawberry jam, and good strong tea. :hi:

[janx]

28. WHAT

is Devon clotted cream? Is it the cream you put in the tea?

[Inchworm]

30. jinx janx you owe me a coke!

:rofl:

[Lyric]

34. Explanation of "clotted cream":

taken from this page: http://www.broadwayhouse.com/creamtea.html

Devonshire clotted cream

A cream tea cannot be considered as such unless there is cream and the type of cream that should be used is clotted cream. Originally, clotted cream was only produced in the Westcountry - this is where the rich soil, mild climate and the right breed of cattle came together to create milk with a high enough cream content to produce clotted cream. Even today when clotted cream is in greater demand (and available at supermarkets!) it will almost always be made in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset. If you exclude the modern milk processes and vegetable fat substitutes then there are only three types of cream - single, double and clotted. Each of these gets increasingly richer, thicker and luxurious.

Before the days of pasteurisation, the milk from the cows was left to stand for several hours so that the cream would rise to the top. Then this cream was skimmed and put into big pans. The pans were then floated in trays of constantly boiling water in a process known as scalding. The cream would then become much thicker and develop a golden crust which is similar to butter. Today however, the cream is extracted by a separator which extracts the cream as it is pumped from the dairy to the holding tank. The separator is a type of centrifuge which extracts the surplus cream at the correct quantity so that the milk will still have enough cream to be classified as milk.

Clotted cream has a consistency similar to soft butter and can be used as a replacement for butter in such things as toffees. It's great on freshly baked bread with honey (or honeycombe!), jam, syrup or black treacle (known as thunder and lightening!) - but most importantly is perfect for putting on a scone.

38. Thanks oktoberain

I was going to look it up but...

having eaten too much lunch I'm all fat and lazy.

:P

[janx]

40. Thanks! Now I know.

Sounds very good.

[Inchworm]

29. A chance to learn

What is this "Devon Clotted Cream?" :shrug:

First time I saw the word "clot" in a food item. :dunce:

:hi:

[janx]

32. YES.

That's what caught my attention too... :rofl:

[Blue-Jay]

27. I'm enjoying a lovely can of Diet Dr Pepper.

Say what you will about Dr Pepper, but the diet version of the soft drink tastes better than than high-calorie version.

(Not true with Diet Coke)

[Inchworm]

31. Mr Pibb was my favorite

Pepper-type soda :)

:hi:

[janx]

33. I agree!

I've been making the switch recently myself!

[Blue-Jay]

44. This is going to sound weird, but bear with me...

Heat up some Dr Pepper, and drink it with a squeeze of lemon. Pretty good.

[janx]

58. Maybe in the wintertime...

I'm in NM and about to go to my friend's pool for awhile...But do you mean diet Dr. Pepper, or the regular kind?

[Blue-Jay]

59. Either one should work.

Try both and see which is better for you.

[YDogg]

61. Hmmm. I used to favor 1/2 Dr. Pepper & 1/2 Mt. Dew ...

... and I became addicted to that concoction in NM about 27 yrs ago. Quit all soft drinks about 5 yrs ago, though.

[fizzgig]
