Whats for dinner?

[the funny farm6]

My familys favorite:

Enchalada bake.

Take a cake pan and spray with oil
Press into that 2 tubes of creasant rolls
(I go ahead and bake those till they are about cooked)
Cook 2-3 lb hamb. Drain grease
Add 1 can enchalada sauce and 1 can cream of mushroom soup
Put that on top of the creasant rolls
Put on top of that shreaded cheese and crushed doreitos
Bake till cheese is melted.

If you like hot you can add sliced hot peppers. And the HOT enchalada sauce.
There is never any leftovers

Well, not exactly in my neck of the woods. But we like salmon. We're part of a sort of 'food network' - a circle of people who know one another and share surpluses from their gardens and livestock in one way or another. One household provides surplus potatoes, or squash, or carrots, sorrel, basil, berries, etc - while another offers free-range, organically fed chicken, etc. Exchanges may be through trades, gifts, or cash deals, etc. A couple of our households in our network get a phone call when fishermen from out near the coast are bringing salmon out and selling them from the yard of some folks we know about 45 minutes drive from our place. That way, we get fish that have usually been caught (and kept on ice) within a 24-36-hour period.

I'm making dill/garlic goat cheese today. Will pick some lettuce from the garden. Have some tomatoes and cucumbers and onion (from store ... grrrr) that I'll slice, and some leftover sliced turkey. All will go into pita bread with the tzatki-type-cheese for a middle-eastern-type meal. Cold watermelon (also from store ... come on, August!) for dessert.

For tomorrow, creamed-boiled eggs (IF we have any leftover from selling).
