Jo's Kitchen (and yes, the coffee IS on...)

[chefhmboyrd]

i sure could use a cup of coffee
or 10
argh
long day

I want to cook a big meal in my new house soon
probably go with the grill.
Steak, veggies, and do some salad type thing
it will have to be late in the vening to fire up the grill though
or maybe if i sit it out inthe sun i can save on charcoal
it is almost hot enough to cook my steak mid rare like i like it anyway.

what do you (and the rest of the kitcheneers) think about the possibility of making spaghetti carbonara with spaghetti squash? There is a diabetic i want to cook for and i am famous for my carbonara but i worries about the starch...although i think they can have carbs if there's protein with it? so maybe the eggs and cheese would cancel it out?

Spaghetti squash is a great substitute. if you want a high pro sub, you can use rice noodles, they are a more friendly carb. especially brown rice noodles, a little harder to find though.

Heya Scoot,

I talked to ChrisButch aka Everest today and I told hym that everyone was asking about hym. Hy said hym and hys family are doing good and thanks for the support. I was hoping to start college in early July, but the college needs my transcripts from my high school and since the school board of Volusia County is slow as Molasses in a Vermont winter, the school hasn't received them. So I am shooting for August 30th now.

Hope Jo Jo had a good and safe flight from New York.

Good Morning Kitchen Patrons,

Jo - I hope you had a safe flight(s).. and are now happily dwelling in scoote's arms.

Zimmy - I feel your pain on the transcripts. I have been there a time or two.. have patience.. and look at it as having more time to enjoy the Summer. smiles.

freyja - thank you for the music...always a wonderful way to start and end a day. How are the ducks coming along?

lipstix - Hope you are not studying to hard over there. I remember what that was like as well. I had a wild moment the other day and thought about going back to school again.. however, I am not sure I could keep up with it all and everything else that goes on in Life. Maybe one class a semester... I am still mulling it over.

Waves to everyone.

*Leaves out a breakfast buffet of scrambled eggs, ham, bacon, steak, hashbrowns, corned beef hash, toast, bagels, english muffins, assorted fruits, and all the condiments to go with*

Oh and the most important part. Alot of tea and coffee. grins.





Have a peaceful day.

[Zimmeh]

Welcome Chef!!!!

How about we put up a tent for the grill? It will provide some relief from the heat...

Have a good night,

Zimmy

Good Evening Everyone,

I made the Chicken Marsala from a healthy cookbook and with the potatoes and carrots, the total calories was less than 400. I had enough calories left, that I was able to have a cup of Sugar Free Dark Chocolate pudding for dessert. If any of you are interested in the recipe, I can post it in here.

Hope everyone had fun today..

Jo Jo,

Have a safe trip down here and tell Scoote there are plenty of ice cold Dr. Pepper's for hym in the fridge...I also heard back from Chris and I am going to be chatting with hym on aol tomorrow. I sent hym a very beautiful sympathy card and hy recieved it today.

Have a good night,

Zimmy
