• Dinner Tonight 4/9/2025

    From Jill McQuown@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 9 18:26:05 2025
    I did score fried chicken! Not from the Shell station I mentioned in
    another post yesterday. After work today I went to Publix and picked up
    a four pieces of nice hot fried chicken. I know Joan doesn't like the thighs/drumsticks but I do. So I got two of each. My silly little
    cheap air fryer will fit a thigh and a drumstick in there to reheat and
    keep them crisp. I'll save the other two for over the weekend. I'll
    steam some broccoli florets to go with it to add a green vegetable
    component.

    I also picked up one of Publix deli chicken pot pies. It's an 8"
    uncooked double crust deep dish pot pie, takes almost an hour to cook in
    the oven. That will be dinner and several servings for leftovers. I'll
    be cooking that over the weekend.

    That's wonderful your Majesty! Publix ready to eat chicken is every bit
    as good as any gas station chicken. And much more classy to boot. And
    no need to bother with cooking! Your silly little air fryer is actually serving you quite well. Good to hear that your Highness.

    An 8" pot pie is absolutely enormous! You'll need to make room in your
    fridge for all the leftovers. If you were on good terms with your
    neighbors, you could invite them over to share that huge pot pie.

    In a single day, your Highness scored enough grub to feed yourself for
    at least a month.

    Let us know how it all turns out.

    oh hey, what are you doing here? do you like chocolate? i just upped my dosage from 78% to 86% cocoa, 78% because way too yummy, and i was downing them, so time to move up...

    i had romaine salad, peach pie, a little popcorn, and some sweet potato chips my only source for sweet potato (i have my eyes on a pie next time i order in....) it's on the menu, but it's really yams, and i hate yams. this is a dinner of treats for me,
    usually it's standard fare, so i sub in treats a lot. like i have a veggie lasagna in the freezer (single size) for a couple days from now. and i just got my favorite jalapeno hummus, which i eat with everything pretzel crisps (or parm and garlic, or
    buffalo wings flavored toppings)

    i'm eating half portions...slowly slowly slowly slowly taking off a tiny bit at a time...got a loooong way to go.

    I'm late to the party, but I had most of the homemade
    tomato soup from last night as Wednesday night's dinner.
    There's just enough for a small serving for Thursday
    night.

    Times have changed with age and activity.

    One night will be half a steak and half a baked potato. The next night
    the other half of potato may go with one chicken thigh.

    I should eat a bigger variety of veggies, but I do have a salad every
    night.

    I used to grill at least a couple of nights a week. I've not used the
    grill in a couple of weeks now.

    It's all bullshit replies from trolls. The fried chicken was quite
    nice. I'll heat the other two pieces tonight for dinner.

    I started eating half portions 20 or so years ago. After you do it for a

    used to give my wife my portions so she would be eating 3X what I was.
    These days, we share a single portion. I call it the old couple's diet.


    I think we have hit that point. We used too get a steak for each of us
    and started to find we could not finish them. The last few times we had
    steak I bought only one and we split them. Last week it was a rib eye.
    It turned out perfectly but we still didn't finish off the whole steak.
    My wife used to cook four chicken legs, which I always thought was too
    much. She cut back to three. When I do the shopping I only get two. One
    is not quite enough for her but it is too much for me so she gets my leftovers.

    A rib steak is always a good thing. A chicken quarter is so-so. That's
    what we had the other night. For breakfast this morning I had soup. I'm
    happy to live in a place where it's easy to get some Portuguese bean
    soup for breakfast.

    Back in the old days, people would say we were a good looking couple. I
    thought that was a strange thing to say but looking back now, I can see
    what they meant. If you think old folks are kawaii, you should get a
    load of things from our side.

    First of all, that is redundant.

    way of referring to tomahawk ribeyes?  (Never had one, BTW.)

    We had one a couple years ago. My wife came home with it. I cooked it
    with a reverse sear and it was delicious. It was way too much for the
    two of us.


    I can't
    remember the last time I had green beans,

    I had green beans with my supper tonight. I like them and there is no
    reason to be embarrassed about that. I grew up with green beans fresh
    picked from the garden. I don't get them that fresh anymore but they
    left a positive impression on me.


    don't use ranch seasoning or
    salad dressing, and the only corn I've had recently was cornbread.


    I have no objection to ranch dressing. A freshly made one is pretty
    darned good. With just two of us here and my wife not caring for it it's
    not going to happen. I have 2 or 3 cobs of corn each summer,,, grilled
    in the BBQ and I might have frozen corn 2-3 times over the rest of the
    year.

    I had an awesome Southern Loco Moco at the Seatac airport.
    Unfortunately, Southern style Hawaiian cuisine is tough to find

    Not about the corn, but about the quality. You can expect to pay too
    much at an airport, but overpaying for the worst thing I've eaten in
    many years is a bit much.

    That's a burger sitting on top of a pile of grits i.e., corn. Grits are
    pretty good but they're hard to find in Hawaii.

    Corn is getting trendy with the young folks. Elote is Mexican street
    food that's being served in Mexican restaurants and barbecue joints in
    the US. It's not really Mexican because it's made from canned corn.
    That's for the gringos. I prefer a grilled corn on the cob with mayo and
    cheese and spices.

    Also getting popular is Korean corn cheese. That's a dish made with corn
    and cheese and served in Korean restauranats. It's easy to make anywhere because it's made with canned corn.

    Really large steaks. Images of Fred Flintstone show him with what
    looks like a t-bone, a round steak, and some steaks that don't
    seem to correspond to any real cut. Of course, they are notionally
    made from brontosaurus. IRL, the cut most commonly called "Fred
    Flintstone steak" is indeed a tomahawk ribeye.

    I had green beans on Tuesday. Ranch is what I order in a restaurant
    if I'm not sure about their vinaigrette. Ranch is rarely too sweet,
    but vinaigrette often is. It's been months since I had a side of
    corn; I just don't like it all that much.

    I'm trying to figure out what, in Bruce's little menu, would get
    the ranch put on it since there's no salad. I know there are
    youngsters who will put ranch on anything: pizza, french fries,
    grilled cheese sandwich, quesadilla, pasta with marinara, rice,
    macaroni and cheese. So a ranch-loving person might put it on
    any of those foods.

    I combined food items I read a lot more about here than
    internationally. Before RFC, I had never heard of ranch, corn is
    international, of course, but nowhere as popular as in the US and
    green beans could also have been coleslaw.

    Thanks, Cindy. You do a good job of interpreting Bruce's silly remarks.
    :) I do see ads on television for powdered ranch in a shaker bottle
    being sprinkled on all sorts of things. I seem to recall a "recipe" for seasoned oyster crackers which called for tossing them in a little oil
    with a packet of dry ranch dressing mix & dried dill weed, then heat
    them in the oven on a baking sheet. It was a snack thing back in the 80's.

    how trendy corn is with any demographic? Is this not just your strange individual inept independent unpolished unformed practically proverbial phallange in the postcumulus?

    Abre los ojos and see what's happening around you. Elote is hot these
    days. What is you - blind? My daughter got this last night from Target.
    It's a mash-up of Mexican elote and Brazilian cheese balls. It sounds
    like a good deal unfortunately, I never got to see any of it because I
    was sleeping. I request the last word.

    I'm fervently waiting to hear the statistics of the Target boycott. It
    will help the cause if the participants see the impact too. Debrief me
    18 Apr 2025.

    I suggest that you hold your breath while I put this report together
    just for you. Yoose also gets the last word.

    My daughter was given some frozen food for old people. Some plates had
    rice and corn and some had corn and corn. I didn't know that oldsters
    could eat a lot of corn. Maybe there's a huge surplus of corn. Maybe
    there's some corn dumping going on.

    My wife didn't care for it because it was bland old people food. I
    didn't have any but intend to pop one in the microwave. Maybe some hot
    sauce will cheer it up. The labels aren't very informative.

    Maybe there's a lot of it because it's not affected by weeds!
