[Inchworm]

1. Hamburger on sale for $1.68/lb

And I noticed some tomatoes at a roadside produce stand the other day. I guess they bring them up on the hill from the flatlands. Tomatoes aren't ready here yet.

Lettuce from my garden.

Hmm.. no time to make buns so I'll probably buy some potato buns (whatever they are called.. I loves em)

It is raining here, but the grill is safe on the front porch...

Hamburgers it is!

:hi:

2. You grow Bacon Fat?

:wow:

Just kidding...It sounds delish though I'm not passing judgement and I have eaten it ...I just couldn't do the goat. But I don't do sheep either. Just not to my liking. Now the bacon....That's another story.

I'm having Morningstar Asian patty's with lots of cabbage, onions, garlic and peppers in a light teryaki sauce.

9. I read that as "beet" stew and had a WTF moment, lol.

[auntAgonist]

12. I bet BEET stew would be good .. hmmmm

I'm gonna look for a recipe. I LOVE beets. Maybe a Borscht type thing?


Now you got me thinking.


:hi:

[Fire1]

5. Well, not having 'goat,' that's for damned sure but I'm

open to quick and easy for tomorrow's dinner.

[hippywife]

6. We're just having

bison burgers, with homegrown tomatoes and home canned dill pickle slices, and vegetarian baked beans. I know that sounds strange to be eating meat but using veggie baked beans but we only eat meat we buy direct from the farm, and it was easier to pick up a can of baked beans for a weeknight meal.

Your menu sounds awesome! Why would anyone hurt you? I have yet to try local goat meat because the coop seems to either have so little of it or everyone orders it up really fast, even tho I'm logged on to order right when ordering opens. I think a little of both. So I'm jealous of your dinner because I want to try it.

:hi:

7. I'd skip the venison and goat -

not my style - but the vegetables sound wonderful.

Enjoy.....................

8. I have crappy store tomatoes (didn't get to the farmer's mkt on Sunday)

and crappy store basil and red onion. That will make a nice little thingie to spoon onto toasted baguette. Bruschetta-ish. And I have some potatoes I need to use up, so maybe some oven fries. And fresh cherries.

The nice thing about being single is I can just eat whatever I damned well please, lol, and it doesn't necessarily have to conform to a traditional menu so long as it fills me up.

I have some thinly sliced round steak in the freezer that was for pho, but I could saute it up quick and do a sandwich with the baguette and bruschetta topping........

10. Corn dogs and mac & cheese

Mr. AAL is on his two week Nat. Guard duty, so it's just me and a 7 y/o. Guess who picked tonight's dinner! :D

[AlecBGreen]

11. lol

Id have that oo if it was in the freezer. Corn dogs?! YUM!

[Callalily]

13. All I had was beets.

Here's the recipe, I've posted it here before. It's very tasty, but your venison would have complimented it nicely!

And serious - that was my supper!



Grated Beets with Shallots

3 T olive oil
½ teaspoon whole brown or yellow mustard seeds
2 large shallots, peeled and cut into fine slivers
1 fresh hot green chile, cut crosswise on a sharp diagonal into thin slices
1 pound beets, peeled and coarsely grated
1 teaspoon salt
1 T fresh lemon juice

Put the oil in a wide pan or a large frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the mustard seeds. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop, a matter of seconds put in the shallots and green chili. Stir and fry for 30 seconds. The shallots should turn a little brown. Now put in the beets and stir for a minute. Put in the salt and ½ cup of water. Bring to a boil. Cover, turn the heat to low, and cook gently for 10 minutes. Uncover, turn the heat up to medium, and add the lemon juice. Stir to mix and turn off the heat.

Serves four.
