What's for dinner?

[Finnie]

i've been in hog-heaven this past week with most of a pan of lasagna to eat up. i think the last bit of it is today's brunch in a few minutes.

Lasagna is a huge favorite over here. I like to make extra and freeze it in single serving squares so anyone can have some whenever they want.

Prime rib roast for dinner tonight. I scored an amazing markdown from a really nice sale price yesterday.

Oooohhh...

Oh my - that prime rib looks delicious!

I pulled some turnips today from the garden. The turnips aren't huge (but they needed thinning) but the greens are gorgeous. I'll probably cook them tomorrow - but I've never cooked them before in my life. I've made collards plenty of times though. Anyone have tips on cooking turnip greens????

i've never. not that i don't want to, but i tend to eat the sprouts very young to thin and then after that i leave them alone to gather as much light as possible for the growing plant. from what i do remember "boilt until dun wit bacun or other smoked fatty hog bits" might be the obvious answer, but i'm not looking things up at the moment because if i do i get too distracted and then waste too much time doing other things i didn't really go there for (which is kinda what reading/writing this message to SS is taking care of for me too )...

I would guess you could cook turnip greens the same way as collards.

Pretty much what I thought, so that'll be my first plan. Plenty of 'em out there to try again if the first attempt is a fail.

Baked one of those meat loaves we prepped last weekend for dinner last 2 nights. My level of ambition will determine what's for dinner tonight.

Plenty of bacon or ham bone trimmings

I have both. I have some small turnips that I'll probably chop up in there too. I'm kind of excited about trying them, lol.

Made an apple pie and snickerdoodles. Wife wanted chicken salad today, not soup. I will finish off the meatloaf
