What's for dinner?

[flowerbug]

there's three large pots of potato soup to pick from for today's dinner later on. one pot is vegetarian (without ham chunks from ham steaks).

as usual when Mom gets them mostly cooked she has me taste them because she doesn't like spices and so i usually have to recommend some added salt, garlic salt or ... so others will find them more normally palatable. all three needed some garlic salt. i never add as much as i would like of garlic and spices because most people don't want that much. i keep the vampires away...

Crazy! I didn't know there was such a thing as too much garlic, lol. I guess I keep the vampires away too!

I have some duck meat mixed with turnips in the fridge that I should probably cut in half… freeze half and add roux and water to make a small fricassee with baby Limas. I mean, as is, it’s not going to be all eaten and who wants to waste wild duck unnecessarily?

when doing anything with garlic i'm often just chewing on cloves of raw garlic. numnum...

Had a couple chicken breasts too many from the canning....soooo, chicken dinner! Braised some chunks, removed & sauted onion & garlic. Added a pint of home canned chicken broth, then rice. Let rice almost finish, added chicken back in. Tossed some frozen peas on top. Shortly after about 5-6 shakes of soy sauce, stirred & had one pan dinner. Now a couple heat & eats left. Chinese sorta

We had pork loin cooked over home-grown carrots and cabbage with some sliced onions and garlic tossed in. Tasty! There will be a do-over tonight!

potato soup got finished off for brunch today. not sure what dinner will be. maybe half a peanut butter sandwich and some oranges.

Homemade no salt meatball subs. They are actually quite good. I sprinkled a bit of salt on one meatball to try and I could make the same recipe with the real salt for normal people. Hubby is hooked on them so I'm going to have to get more pork to grind

Spaghetti with some type of tomato sauce. Craving tomatoes from all the seed ads with pics. Wish it was June & ripe ones on vines....I'd be canning!

Monday night didn't happen, worked too late. So right now I'm cooking it. Ahhhh, I'm using a QT of homegrown, home canned tomato chunks! 8/2/20 on lid. Tastes like I just picked them! Amazingly good. Have a few more jars from that session
