I have to write down what I did RIGHT NOW before I forget and stick it in my journal


but you foodies can ignore it, it's a "What's for dinner, I'm exhausted and what do I need to use up" week night recipe

OK now let this sink like a stone


and :hi: everybody














Hamburger Strogonoff

1 lb burger
1 pound mushrooms
fresh basil, about 1/4 cup chopped
pepper
1/2 envelope of French Onion Soup mix
1 tsp beef au jus stuff
1/2 cup sour cream

served over mashed potatoes

1. Sometimes

on a work night, you do what you gotta do. Especially when you're tired.

Was wondering yesterday how you were doing. :hi:

[NMDemDist2]

3. and my "Friday" is a late shift every week too

but I'll make up for it tonight, I went into town and got us some Pecos Beef Porterhouse steaks

:woohoo:

I saw your babies in the rural forum, they look so sweet! wish you could send me some eggs once your 'girls' get going....

:hi:

[hippywife]

12. And if you wer closer

I would definitely share them with you. :hug:

2. Semi-Homemade. What's wrong with that?

I love to cook.
I have to work to buy the food I love to cook.
I have to leave my home to work to buy the food I love to cook.
Once I leave my home to work to buy the food I love to cook.....



I'm too tired to COOK!

So you open the refrigerator, pull stuff out, and sometimes you come up with something delicious that didn't take 5 hours to make.

Nothing wrong with that, occasionally.:-)

4. and the dear wise and wonderful Mr. K is a meat and taters kinda guy

:rofl:

5. Just when I had decided to REALLY only eat "real" food a la

Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food", you go and tempt me with this very yummy and easy dinner dish.

I alreadly allow myself "au jus stuff" aka Better Than Bouillon, even though it has more than five ingredients and probably some of them are unpronounceable.........I can overlook the definitely taboo French Onion Soup mix JUST THIS ONCE, lol.

I promise to do the mashed potatoes all homemade.

6. if I had had a can of beef broth I would have left out those two ingredients

so chop some onions and go for it. the 'au jus' stuff I have is VERY salty so I couldn't use much. with BtB and fresh onions it will be just as good or better even

and you will not have to sin..... too much


:pals:

7. Sanda Lee is going to have to watch out now...

she's got COMPETITIOIN!

Congrats on creating something Mr. K loves sooooo much! It sounds good, and easy too.

[NMDemDist2]

10. see my response to Stinky below, it was more about getting it in my

'recipe file' aka my journal LOL

[Stinky The Clown]

8. Ya know ...... if you do it with love and everybody likes it, what's not to be proud of?

Pat yourself on the back!

[NMDemDist2]

9. this post was about the "Ms Hollandaise" syndrome LOL

if I didn't write it down as soon as I made it, Mr. K would love it and I'd never be able to recreate it

:rofl:

[Stinky The Clown]

11. I made what I intended to be the exact same braise two weeks apart .......

...... very different results.

Maybe we need to start keeping a journal!
