Tex Mex stew. I got the recipe from the Southeastern Gay Rodeo Association's (SEGRA) cookbook. I made a few changes, based on what I had. Venison, onions, Ranch beans with jalapenos, corn and tomatoes, plus a few spices. And what is that very yellow spot on the right, you wonder? That is a piece of delicious Jiffy Mix cornbread, soaking up all the juices.

Apparently potatoes, lots of 'em.

About three weeks ago I bought what I could find in produce which included bagged potatoes, three kinds, three pounds each, on the premiss they would keep for a good long time.

Checked on them this morning to pull out a couple and found they had all started sprouting. I've been roasting potatoes all morning to cut, shred, mash and just have whole in the freezer all pre-done. This kind of works out since the frozen veggies in the store have been decimated for three weeks and I have room in the freezer.

Serendipity.

And salmon...

Grilled chicken, salad and veggies.

Tea to drink

Dessert is yellow cake with chocolate icing.

- fried chicken
- mashed potatoes
- English peas
- applesauce
- vanilla wafers

Dinner
 

Veal cutlet and long grain and wild rice. Ice tea.

Oh you rebel you! We were warned about take-out remember? :|

Perpetual Stew

"..medieval peasants would rarely empty out their cauldron “except in preparation for the meatless weeks of Lent.” The rest of the time, the cauldron sat above the fire for weeks on end; any available food was simply thrown in.
The medieval perpetual stew ... was “an ever-changing broth enriched daily with whatever was available… a hare, hen or pigeon would give it a fine, meaty flavor; the taste of salted pork or cabbage would linger for days, even weeks.”

Challenging times call for ingenuity and a strong stomach.

Dinner
 

Rainbow trout with steamed asparagus. Ice tea.

Last night was a homemade hamburger with a small green salad and tonight will probably be the same.

Not sure what I will have for supper. I'm just too tired to make anything, right now.

But my sister-in-law came by my place while I was at work and she left some beautiful Portabello mushrooms. I might slice some of them up and caramelize them in evoo, then add some broccoli buds and freshly grated cloves of garlic, sear them all together, then maybe get my wok out and the soba noodles and make a stir fry, type of supper.

Right now, I just want a cookie. *LOL*

<<<<<<<~~~ reaching for my secret stash of Coconut Macaroon cookies.

:blush:

- pork fried rice
- applesauce

One of the teenagers is cooking tonight. She says she is making ramen soup.... should I be scared

Does anyone mind if I interrupt the usual things we read here, just for a moment?

I came across the most unique videos of an elderly woman, Clara, who was at the time, in her mid-to-late 90s. She grew up in The Depression. In the video's I'm going to post, Clara talks about having Dandelions for supper, and she tells you little bits about her life back then, like she worked at the Hostess Twinkie factory. Clara is Italian and she's got tons of videos about all kinds of things people used to make to eat, back during the great Depression.

She's a beautiful soul. And her little stories about yesteryear are just precious.

Dinner
 

Spaghetti with homemade sauce and meatballs. Yum.

You should be afraid, very afraid. When mine were in their teens they claimed it was born of love but I just felt very punished. Maybe if I'd had daughters... Nope could have had them turn out like me, better to have mad scientists for sons. Good Luck
