6. Already gone

Boy Scouts pack meeting tonight, doncha know. It was stuffed shells. :hi:

[Inchworm]

7. I'm eating as I type

Hmm.. did you stuff the shells? I made that once and my personal time:worth analysis stopped me at once :D

Bet it was yummy either way. Enjoy the meeting.

:hi:

[MorningGlow]

12. Alas, frozen shells and jar sauce--don't tell my grandmother!

They were all right though. Mr. MG is always comparing effort to benefit and recommending that we not bother with a whole lot of "from scratch" meals (mac and cheese excluded--for him, "from scratch" is a must, so by now I've got it down to a science).

At the last minute I booted the menfolk out of the house and decided to stay behind. Enjoying the silence and doing a little freelance work. :hi:

11. Homemade chicken pot pie.

With real crust. :D

[lillypaddle]

15. OMG you devil!

As it happens, I've had a hankerin' (okay, I'm in the south, wanna make somethin' of it???) for pot pie lately. Marie what's her name's pot pie has like 660 calories, so I passed. Do you have a recipe? And besides, why am I worried about 660 calories when I had a double pounder with cheese???? I'm sick.

[crim son]

18. I don't use a recipe.

Basically I poach a couple of chicken breasts (skin on, bone in) until the meat is tender, then I remove the skin, take the meat off the bone and cube it. Depending on how big I'm making the pie I sautee a certain amount of onions, chopped celery and carrots in about 2T butter & 2T canola oil (more for a bigger pie... I'm going to make a white sauce). When the veggies are nearly tender I add the same amout of oil as I added fat to the pan, and mix it up with the veggies, cooking the veggies and paste for about three or four minutes more. Finally I add a certain amount of milk and/or chicken broth and stir it in until the vegetables are in a smooth sauce, then I cook the sauce until boiling, and after it boils, cook and stir for about a minute, then remove from the heat. At this point I add any herbs I might like (usually tarragon but it could be thyme or whatever you prefer) and some freshly ground pepper and salt to taste. This mixture I pour into a pie plate either with or without a bottom crust, put on a top crust, flute the edges and cut a couple holes in the top for steam. Bake at 400 degrees for about 35 minutes or until the pastry is lightly browned.

Obviously you can put whatever you want in this pie... even canned stew if that's as much cooking as you do.

[lillypaddle]

14. left over red beans & rice

with some melted cheese on top and bite-sized torilla chips - well, and some fresh jalapeno slices. And some chicken livers. Okay, not all at once. dinner time is from 3:00 to 8:00 pm, so I'm into a variety of stuff. Okay. So I'm chubby. Wanna make somethin' of it?????

edit: to correct spelling of "slices" from "clises" :)

[Inchworm]

23. Sounds great to me

Save the chicken livers :scared:

:hi:

[1gobluedem]

16. Baked spaghetti

With a green salad. Apple pie for dessert. It's cold and rainy -- comfort food time!

[Inchworm]

24. Definitely!

Spaghetts is my go-to meal for hurried comfort. And my dogs, a few pillows, a thick blanket, and something made out of fleece. I'll just grab a shirt that doesn't fit any more or an old "truckers" blanket so long as it's fleece :P

17. Cheesy broccoli and potato chunk casserole, topped with crumbled bacon.

[Inchworm]

25. Oh?

That sounds delicious!

:9

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. It definitely was! I had done the cheesy potatoes before, but this was the

first time I thought to put broccoli and bacon crumbles on it. (And by cheesy potatoes I don't mean the scalloped sort. I just throw small chunks of margarine, cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterrey jack on there to melt. No milk whatsoever. :) )

[question everything]

27. Penne, Arugula, goat cheese and cherry tomatoes

with olive oil, chopped garlic, salt& pepper.

Arugula has been in the fridge for a week so some leaves were yellow - I buy them, don't grow them - but was OK and supper - was done several hours ago - was delicious.

[yellowdogintexas]

28. a little piece of salmon and some grilled squash

[Danmel]

29. Bagels,lox&whitefish salad

To break the Yom Kippur fast .
