With everything starting this week and NerdDad (a post coming soon)being laid up, this is a bit of a dream to prevent fast food overload.
Monday: Roast, Potatoes, Broccoli
Tuesday: Left over Spinach Lasagna
Wednesday: Marinated Pork Loin Chops, Broccoli, Beer Bread
Thursday: Shredded Roast on Rolls, Broccoli
Friday: Pasta Carbonara Florentine
I was watching Good Morning America this morning at the hospital while NerdDad was having his surgery and they were talking about the Palin speech. I haven’t seen it yet (it is on the Tivo) but it sounds like it was good. Then they had Senator Joe Biden on. He said that he was in the air when her speech started so he missed about a third of it.
So that leaves the question. Do we want to elect someone Vice President when he was smart enough/capable enough to get the same text that the press had ahead of time? Or that he couldn’t have someone tivo/record it so he could see all of it before he went on tv shows to comment?
Idiot.
I love (and the NerdFamily does too!) mashed potatoes but I hate peeling them. I have a new secret weapon in easy and quick mashed potatoes, Food Mill
One more tip on great mashed potatoes? Salt the water you boil the potatoes in. That is right, just salt it heavily just like you do to pasta!
Who can’t use a little giggle at Hillary’s expense. Well, maybe it isn’t funny because it might be true;).
Some of you may remember my previous post that paralleled John McCain and Colonel Saul Tigh of Battlestar. Well it is nice to know that we are not the only Battlestar Galatica fans in the Republican Party. That is obvious by Palin’s distinct Roslinesque look;). Thanks to Michael Doyle over at BurnLab for this awesome graphic!
(We totally are supporting the McCain/Palin ticket but that doesn’t mean we have lost our sense of humor.)
I needed to make an egg dish for my first MOPS of the year and I forgot to shop for the ingredients for my standards. So it was time to look around and cobble together a recipe. Well, it ended up getting rave reviews and I loved it too. I will definitely be making this again.
Ingredients:
1 pound cooked and crumbled sausage
1 thawed and drained package of chopped spinach (10 oz)
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
9 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese
Process:
This is a 2 bowl process but it is super easy. In one bowl mix sausage, spinach and soup. In the other bowl beat the eggs and mix in milk and pepper. Then combine together and dump it into a 9 by 13 pan. Top evenly with shredded cheese.
Bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
Is the economy so bad that the 99 Cents Only should abandon their premise? I guess what surprises me about this article is how much the local Dollar Tree is carrying. I am seeing a huge diversity of products from crafts stuff to food storage materials. I think that they just want to make more money because apparently other dollar stores are making decent profits.
This is a short crazy week for me so lets try to get in and out easy!
Monday: Chicken Kiev, Mashed Potato, Broccoli
Tuesday: Lasagna
Wednesday: NerdMom and NerdDad at Campagnia, stay tuned for a review over at Blog Fresno!
Thursday: Chicken Kiev, Bread, Broccoli (requested again)
Friday: Marinated Pork Loin Chops, Broccoli Mac and Cheese gratin
Gordon Ramsay really feels comfortable in critiquing others, as is shown in Hell’s Kitchen. But is criticizing the food at Buckingham Palace going a bit far?
That is because one of his restaurants will be changing into the hands of another chef next month. The Berkley Hotel owns the Petrus restaurant and has decided to let Marcus Wareing take over the lease last month. Is it sad that I have watched enough of BBC America’s cooking shows to know and like Marcus Wareing?
