Food with Attitude!

Pork chops last night.

That looks so good! What's in the little bowl in the upper right corner out of frame?

Oh that looks really good! Haven't had pork in a while. We're due for that dinner. :)

Some olives. :)

Exactly was! Peeps know I have crazy craving for Wendy's chili about 4 times a year.

Thanks Lance.

I realize since I am no longer capable of cooking a simple piece of beef, there is no way I can possibly cook fried rice with its numerous ingredients and the necessity of cooking them in a wok or fry pan with water and oil simultaneously with and the add-in vegetables with proper attention paid to maintaining it.

I am having an envelope of Lipton soup that I only need to add boiling water to for my only meal of this weekend.

I am serious that I would be grateful and happy to pay someone a few hundred dollars to cook some corned beef for me since I have not had it in eleven months. It is my favorite food and would eat it every day if only it was available to me.

I had a ten thousand dollar raise this year and every penny of it would go to someone if they would cook for me since I can no longer do it myself.

Mrs. is incapable of cooking anything and is the only person I have ever encountered that can burn water if she tries to boil it.

She begins to vomit wildly if she smells corned beef or cabbage cooking. I know she is forcing herself to do it because it is the most heavenly smelling food on Earth. If they made cologne or aftershave that smelled like it I would thoroughly douse myself with it because it smells so wonderful.

My childhood and teenage dream was to open my own restaurant and create the most incredible meals. I have won every cooking contest I used to enter and now cannot cook anything.

Breakfast today was sausage and potatoes. It had to go directly into the trash. It was too spicy, burned, and was wet. I have no idea how that happened so I have eaten nothing since yesterday.

A proper meal is so very important to one's mental health and wellbeing.

I can no longer walk, I cannot drive, and have forgotten how to cook. If only there was a many-years registered GLP member so I knew I could trust them that lived near me that knew how to cook. I would pay their car payments for them each month if they came by and cooked me a dinner twice a week.

This is truly that bad and life-disrupting to me. I would kill myself tonight if I didn't have a wife and two cats to take care of.

I'll stay off of here the rest of the weekend and perhaps for a long time again. It is too depressing to me to see and read about such incredible meals everyone can make when all I can do is add boiling water to instant soup.

I wish I were dead.

Louis, I love you very much and wish we were closer. We would help with your meals for no cost at all. Try to stay positive my friend. You are in my prayers.

That sucks Louis. What about just a local meals on wheels while you are regaining strength? It isn't the best but it should be a friendly face and some nutrition at least.

And here, some of the farms have meal services with the farm to table movement. I think a lot of people find out about them on facebook or you could try your local extension office to see if there are any businesses like that.

We had carbohydrate pasta night and of course the requisite salad with balsamic and garlic bread.

In synch!!

I was just talking about spaghetti. First fly boy and now you. It's a sign!!

Para, that kitty looks just like my Missy!

Louis, I understand your forgetting how to cook. All the years Mr. TB managed hotels, we ate out almost every night. I can't tell you how much food I've ruined the last 2 years, trying to make things I've made my whole life.

I'm getting better again, but sometimes, it's still a crapshoot! There are times I want to shoot the crap I've cooked!

If your local area still does their own cooked food for mobile meals, I would look into it. We used to do them from the nursing home kitchen I worked at. We almost always had pretty good food and followed any special diets our clients had.

Unfortunately, I don't know that anyone still does it that way. You'd have to do some homework. In our area, it's just frozen meals these days. Not good.

Does anyone have any folded kimbap sandwich recipes?

I'm glad there's a picture out there of her twin! Miss won't let me take a good picture of her.

Hey! I had already planned that for brekky!!

Great minds DO think alike!


So glad you are feeling better!

We went to the park and walked a mile or so. We were tired when got home! We'll just have to work our way back up.

Hopefully everyone is sorted! SHeesh...weird week hey. The times around the Equinoxes are the most, um, 'trying'. The balance of light and dark (for those of us who experience it).
Anyhow. I'm wondering if anyone has ever done a stuffed pumpkin dish? I've been looking online but thought maybe one of you have a memory of such a thing. We are going to watch the Queens funeral (for educational purposes), then cut the cable cord altogether (2+ years and the cable tv has never been used). Following that, we are going to do 3 days of the LOTR extended. So...looking for 'hobbit/elvish type' tapas ideas.

We have a large 'ploughmans lunch' planned for the queen thing. All day snacking. So for the LOTR, cottage pie of course, plus some sort of ho-made seed cakes, apple tarts and French onion soup. We need far more ideas. ANy great tapas/appy's ideas that would fit in, at a Tolkeinesque Inn?

Ohhh yummy!

Keep getting better and better. :)

boiled/pickled eggs (although I would be tempted to make scotch eggs)
mead and or some nice ale or hard cider?
lembas?
cheese?
cold chicken?
more kinds of pastries
mutton
fish

What a day...almost need a total body shed of epidermis.
lmao...too many spitters and drunkards around me.

Cooked a spread for the party guests of tenderloin beef, served w onion, mushroom, green peppercorn sauce, marinaded japanese bbq chicken tenders, fresh asparagus (overcooked, but the cuntry guests loved it) carrots and crispy french baguettes w tonnes of butter, champagne, red wine, sweet tea...too full.

Then the kitchen sink clogged.

You can't immerse in all things hobbit-like without mushrooms, lots and lots of them! Great big ones, maybe stuffed with cheese?

Yes, and it made my mind work...
“And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge.”
MY take...
"things that could have been boughten, should never not be ho-made". All ho-made...! Wait, I'm calling mysellef a ho...er, never mind!

Suggestions and Substitutions for Stuffed Mushrooms
Looking for more stuffed mushroom ideas? We've received many suggestions for variations on this recipe from readers over the years. Here are a few favorites:

Sausage, cream cheese, chopped stems, Parmesan and garlic powder
Duck or goose pâté (fois gras) topped with a small piece of bacon
Cream cheese, spinach, and bacon
Creamy chicken and white wine with a touch of garlic and tarragon
Crab meat, cream cheese, and shredded Parmesan
Onion, green pepper, pepperoni, garlic, the mushroom stems, parsley, oregano, a few Ritz Crackers

A good start I'd say!

I have to admit when I cook at home, I cheat and just heat up the frozen breaded kind. BUT...if we're out to a nice restaurant and they have a good sounding app of stuffed mushrooms, I always order some.

Breakfast is potato chip crumbs (since not all could be decantered in the mongous mason jar), and salsa. Oh those pesky chip crumbs..what ever shall we do?

As I am about to embark on second breakfasts, I have to put in for the mushrooms -

I melt butter in a baking dish and wipe the caps in it and put them all in there, then finely mince the stems, some garlic and green onions (or shallots) and saute them in more butter. When you have cooked off most of the liquid released by the mushrooms, add about 1/2 c. of cream and simmer until it thickens, then stir in 1/3 c of grated parmesan and a big handful of chopped parsley. Salt and pepper generously then stuff into the caps. Put a pinch of shredded swiss or cheddar on top of each one and bake in oven at 350 for ~30 minutes.

(keto friendly Simple)

Sounds delicious!
