What's for dinner?

[murphysranch]

Two years ago I completely cleaned the Weber gas bbq. It needs it again, and it needs to be refurbished. I've asked my son to do this for me. Order parts, get the dang thing up to speed again. Its 10 years old.

So last nite, I had several chicken thighs from '23 and wanted to grill them. Nope - two burners would not work. So I had to egg dip, bread crumbs and then lightly fry, then into the oven. Yummy!!

some blueberries and a few peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk.

Last night - with a lot of help from the grands: BBQ ribs, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw and rolls. Cookies for dessert. Yum!

That sounds like a good old southern cook out!

Too hot to cook. But I'm I have hard boiled 2 dz eggs, so looks like sandwiches may be it.. I'll give half the eggs to DS & he can make his own egg salad. More sandwiches.

i really like hard boiled eggs with a squirt of hot sauce on top and i also end up using some ketchup too - bite the top off a little to make a spot for the sauces to gather... this, though, is usually not a great idea as eggs are one of those things that may at times cause me troubles. still, tastes so good, same with pickled eggs. love 'em...

I'm not an egg eater. Not my favorite taste but, I do eat some scrambled, well done, with peppers, onion & butter. I make/can a tomato combo that's like Rotel. Now that's good on a buttery scrambled egg. Light hot from jalapeno but not burn you.

Should eat more because they're here & good for you! Just need to rebuild a sales base. I give so many away! Or trade for ???

at last we made some black walnut cookies and i've been enjoying those. the past few days i've had a few for breakfast with blueberries and a glass of milk.

for dinner last night i doctored up a can of Spaghettios and meatballs (absolutely horrible but it gets the job done - i won't be buying them again though because i really should be just eating our own tomato chunks with elbows instead as then there is less gunk in them and they are much better) i doctored up this can with some cheese and diced green onions and it was at least a lot better. a shot of garlic salt would have been even better but i didn't get that far.

i was getting these cans as easy meal replacements for the times when we both don't really care to cook, but now after doing this for a case and a half of cans they've lost whatever charms they may have had (very few ...) and i hate to think of what mechanically separated chicken and all the other stuff is in there as i recall that pink slime stuff from the beef industry that was in the news back a bit in time and that was some pretty horrible looking stuff. i'm sure this chicken is just as bad or worse... overall though the primary not liking point is that the tomato sauce is sweet and not much tomato flavor and i'm sure just using our own tomatoes will be a lot better for me in the end.

They added lots sugar to the recipe. I cant stand it. For a few years until 2020, they were selling retro branded as well that had the old recipe. Those were ok.

I cant stand Pizza Hut pizza either. Been more than a decade since they changed their recipe to "improve" their pizza. It's all sweet crust and sauce now. Disgusting.

And in the beginning yeah, home from scratch.
