Leftovers. I baked a couple of flounder fillets last Sunday. I'll be
reheating the remaining one on low heat in the microwave. The green
vegetable will be Fordhook butter beans and I have some from frozen hush
puppies in the oven. The hush puppies bake up nice and crisp yet tender
inside and no need to use oil or deep fry.

Got anything cooking tonight at your house?

I didn't see yuo had flounder until after I posted that. I also
had flounder (and breadsticks) for dinner. I cooked a pound of it
and ate 2/3rd of it myself, but didnt' have a picture of it, so I
lied and said I had the gyro (which was for breakfast/lunch).

Leftovers, sort of. Tuesday I stopped at Whole Paycheck on the way back
from my mother's house and picked up some cooked salmon at the deli,
since I knew I'd be disinclined to cook. I ate half of it Tuesday and
the rest last night. On a salad with lemon vinaigrette.

I woke up a bit early and had energy to cook, so Italian
meat-a-balles, browned and added sliced green bell peppers and sliced
gook eggplant from the garden. Got it all cooked about halfway and
added a can of Hunts whole tomatoes. Got tons of garden tomatoes but
didn't feel like peeling. I sneaked in some dehy onions... added some
'talian herb mix and garlic. All cooking nicely on a very low simmer,
filled an 8 quart pot... enough for three healthy dinners. Not sure
if we'll have it with pasta or a Kaiser roll sammich. Anyway, 10:30
AM and still asimmer. Cook is allowed to taste, Yummy!

A few questions about your 8 quart amount:
- how much meat did you use?
- only one can of Hunt's whole tomatoes in 8 quarts?
- why do you feel the need to peel your fresh tomatoes?

Also... assuming your wife doesn't detect the dehy onions that you
sneaked in, that equals 3 healthy dinners for 2 people = 6 dinners.
Each serving will use 1.33 quarts of meataballs and sauce over pasta or
on kaiser rolls. You two eat large meals.

I ground not quite two pounds.

> - only one can of Hunt's whole tomatoes in 8 quarts?

Large can, 28 oz., tomatoes get sliced roughly with the spatula. I
don't fill pots to the tippy top, I leave ample room for additions and
stirring. When I was done adding the peppers and eggplant it cooked
down to almost fill a 6 qt pot. It's well seasoned but I did forget
the two bay leaves, oh well, weren't missed... the 'talian herb mix
and s n'p were plenty... forgot the msg too. My wife added some hot
pepper flakes to hers. Smaller pot leaves more fridge space... I
don't mind hand washing an extra pot. I always clean as I go, no pile
of dirty implements accumulate. I really appreciate the tankless on
demand hot water, no waiting for hot water to reach the kitchen sink,
in 20 seconds it's running fully hot.

> - why do you feel the need to peel your fresh tomatoes?

Skins are tough, canned are already peeled, and fresh add too much
water.

What we don't eat can be frozen. I don't measure, I always prepare
more than just enough... I'm not into food rationing. And we don't
eat three meals a day, usually one main meal and snacks. I don't eat
breakfast, I have a light brunch, my wife eats toast and jam with her
morning coffee. We always keep a supply of dried fruit for the
munchies, mixed and figs dates and raisins. BJs sells large
resealable bags of dried fruit... no fat or salt, just natural sugar
and lots of fiber. We don't eat junk from the fast food joints...
even pizza is very rare. We do eat lots of produce mostly what we
grow. We'll be harvesting our cabbages this weekend (8 monsters), we
keep two, soup/slaw, we have customers for the others... deer get the
outer leaves, deer get the damaged tomatoes. We'll be harvesting all
the tomatoes, even the greenies, and whatever else... a frost is
predicted for early next week. Most of the green tomatoes will ripen
on a table in the basement, others will be sliced, dusted with
seasoned flour and fried. I no longer do baking other than corn
muffins so I only buy Wondra. Much of our harvest is traded with
other gardners and given to food banks... different gardeners
specialize in growing different crops so there's always an assortment.

Kind of reminds me of lima beans. A nice bowl of that sounds incredible!

i don't consider dry beans as a green vegetable unless they're
actually not made from dry beans (shellies are the term i would
use for beans that have not dried yet and are still plump in the
pods). shellies being primarily starchy and enough like a dry
bean i'd consider a vegetable much the same i'd consider corn a
vegetable, but still it's primarily starch and not green leafy
type material.

as long as it isn't too mushy it would be ok. once it is mushy
i'd consider it a reconstituted fried item. taste would be ok but
the texture would be off. still though, since i do like things
like tater-tot casserole i'm sure i'd eat it anyways... :)

> Got anything cooking tonight at your house?

no, reheated some squash later on, but dinner was ice-cream
that had some roasted peanuts on it.

it's been a bit too busy here to worry about cooking that
much.

the other day i took a jar of chili from the freezer that
was good (from the batch i made a few weeks ago) - i ended up
having it for breakfast or brunch for a few days. dinner was
burgers with mushrooms.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but this sounds like
ground turkey, mixed with crushed Cheerios,
made into patties, fried and put onto buns. I
almost feel like my Atheism should take a
long enough break for me to say, "Sweet
Jesus, please let that not be what he meant."

He dreamed up something similar (dunking Cheerios
in chicken soup) and got some attention from Jill.

So now he's doubling down with more details
in a pathetic attempt to garner more attention
from Jill.

Like you do with your death wish for JK every time
you suggest another manner of his untimely demise.

I don't do that because of Jill. I really would like to
see him dead. It amazes me that more folks don't
share the sentiment.

Mike, all of my Cheerios stories (soup and burgers) was fake.
That said, it could be good eats. Maybe I'll actually try it one day.

Yet you troll, morph, and forge. That goes hand in hand with "just
want to lurk".
