reuben sandwiches with fruit

steak, herb pasta, and broccoli

Tonight I had a grilled burger & collards that I cooked last night, along with rutabaga mashed with sweet cream butter & black pepper.

Cheese pizza, which is my favorite.

Turkey, Yukon gold potatoes, cranberry sauce and French bread.

...
 

Homemade popcorn.

I cooked enough to feed an army...for a dinner party of 3 friends plus myself...each of my friends deserved a good homemade dinner after their long day....one helped me bush-hog a big part of 2 fields and the old garden then spent his day working corn fields...another worked their butt off in the warehouse all day...and the other had a long trip to get here...it was my pleasure to make the following for them...

A huge, tender, delicious roast chicken...roasted, sweet acorn squash with butter and melted brown sugar...garlic mashed taters with chicken gravy...fresh from garden carrots cooked tender in apple juice and a little brown sugar and hot baked yeast rolls...all with decaf sweet tea...


I rushed to get everything done because I had also been helping a neighbor and got distracted a bit, so I almost burned the squash and had to make a run to the store for milk...but with all my mishaps today, I'm proud everything turned out wonderful and each of my friends were very pleased...

The best part was...having a great time with friends laughing and enjoying each other's company...

Going crazy today with my thighs.... :rofl:

Slapped Italian dressing on em' followed by lots of powdered garlic .... then decided they needed onion ... so ripped open onion soup dry package .... paused ... Crap.... need to rehydrate onion chips....so added soy sauce .... then lost my sanity and tossed in three packets of crushed red pepper .... the fourth packet was parmesan cheese. :rofl:

It's all good!!!! :|

For good measure added sherry. :pirate-steer: bwahahahaha!!!!!!

Started the grill...... it caught fire!!!!! Bwahahahaha! !! :fireman::firetruck:

My thighs need to soak up the marinade for a bit longer.... somebody get me a beer? (f)

dinner
 

Chinese buffet!

pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes and corn.

I had tortilla chips with a white queso and roasted tomato and chipotle salsa.

Grilled boneless chicken breast,(marinated in mojo sauce) butter beans, and a green salad with sliced yellow squash and zucchini.

I made homemade chicken pot pie and a salad of tomatoes, red onion and cucumbers in a greek dressing i had on hand.
