So, whats for dinner tonight?

Probably so since it would be about an 8 hour drive. Guess I had better plan on doing my own cooking

I made so much yesterday it corned beef and cabbage again today. Saturday was the best. We drove to Tarpon Springs and bought some Jumbo Gulf Shrimp heads on right off the boat. I cooked them shells heads and all, in a big iron skillet with butter, garlic, chipotle powder, lime, Tecate beer and more butter and spices. Big slices of crusty bread for mopping and more Tecate from washing them down. They taste more like lobster when cooked in the shell.

I also bought some Cherrystones when I was there so tonight will be linguine with white clam sauce. It is one of my comfort foods!

on the topic of gross foods....head cheese. My grandmother always made it from scratch whenever we visited - yes, she purchased a whole hog's head to cook down to nothing and then allowed it to congeal in the fridge. Then it was sliced and eaten on toast. Not by me, though. I've never been able to even look at anything remotely meat-based that jiggles like jello. ewwwwwww!

Tonight's dinner (on a better note) will be something simple - I'm on a major search for a document that is *somewhere* in the many boxes I'm still trying to unpack from our move. It's a document worth about $200 to me right now, so I'm frantically searching.

Update...6:16 P.M....older son has taken the reins and is cooking dinner!

Suebee...I cannot do headcheese either! Somehow Jello-type products and MEAT together seem just downright wrong!

I loathe that stuff - I absolutely hated it when we went to my grandparents' house and I had to sit at the table and watch my dad and granddad eat that nasty stuff.

However, I loved it when I got to sit on grandpa's lap and drink "coffee" (ok, more milk than coffee), because my grandpa would take the moo-cow creamer container and walk it across the table going "moooooooo"...LOL

happy thursday,today i'll grill out in the upper forties weather before the strom hits.then good friday it's a shrimp-a-rama,pasta & shrimp,shrimp cocktail,shrimp scampi.ya-ha time.

Hey there....tonight, chinese. Tomorrow, some kind of seafood. I have some mussels in the freezer so maybe those and some pasta w/garlic and white wine. mmmm....

I have in the fridge a strange combo that I am throwing together! Grape tomatoes, arugala, feta cheese and garlic. I have a box of Fusilli and some Olive oil. What do you think? Last time I cooked grape tomatoes they exploded because I forgot to slit them? Ouch!

sounds like a plan frog,just be careful with the tomatoes okay.

I remember that! Be careful this time.

Otherwise, that combo sounds really good!

Next week....mostly junk food at Disneyland! They have this homemade corn dog, but instead of a hot dog, they use a hot link Thats my vice when I go to Disneyland.

Enjoy yourself! Thats what its all about!
You would have been proud of my shrimp tecate with chipotle. Read back a page!

That is some gooooood eating right there! All the important food groups represented too

The only important food group missing was tequila!

Tonight, chicken noodle soup from a can, with crackers. Both of the boys [ages 3 & 7] have the creeping crud. We're hoping they can hold this down.....

wulf-Hope the little ones feel better
