What are you having for supper?

[Doc Creed]

Barbecue pork chops with white rice and (say it with me now) cornbread.

Today was a strange day - I woke up thinking I had to work at 4:30 then discovered that my shift is actually tomorrow!

I boiled a package of Catellia Healthy Harvest macaroni with ancient grains (lots of fibre) and made my own cheese sauce.

It was actually a bit salty (I used leftover water from potatoes I had cooked previously, mixed with canned milk). Had to add a generous pinch of brown sugar to counteract the saltiness plus I diluted it quite a bit with more canned evaporated milk. It's sort of like heavy cream but better for you. You cannot taste the canned milk flavour so that's good.

Also used old cheddar (the orange kind) which I grated in.

I sauteed white onion with finely chopped celery in butter. Then I roasted some baby tomatoes with diced carrots and a few cloves of sliced garlic in the oven with some olive oil, basil and a bit of thyme as well as some black pepper on a pan with tin foil.

Once everything was combined I gradually added in the cheese sauce about a 1/2 cup at a time until it was the right consistency.

Yum! So much better than that packaged macaroni and cheese from Kraft

Mine doesn't look exactly like this, but sort of similar

oh my, I don't know what to say.

Does it sound like I'm watching too much of the Cooking Channel?



(I just wanted to cook that big old box of macaroni as the expiry date was getting near).

Should have added bacon. The Maple kind.

I ordered Pide

It is a Turkish Pita filled with....everything you want.

My Pide was filled with Minced Beef, Spinach and Feta

Had a hot dog with mustard, tomato sauce and cheese with a strawberry milkshake and a chocolate eclair. Later on I will have a egg, lettuce and mayonaisse sandwich.

Is that Australian for ketchup (or catsup) {or however it's spelled?}

I don't think ketchup is the equivalent to tomato sauce. I don't particularly like ketchup. Tomato sauce is the preferred topping for meat pies and hot dogs over here. Also when you have sausages and bacon and eggs. I think meat pies are going to become very popular in America within the next ten years. There's a meat pie company called 'Four and Twenty' who are apparently sponsoring the basketball team which the Australian Ben Simmons plays for and are giving the crowd free meat pies at games.

Always use aged cheddar...the other cheddars are not strong enough...for a little nip, add some jalopeno cheese, as well.

I'm wanting something new and yummy, will be stopping at the store on the way home and that can get dangerous when I don't know what I want. I end up buying crap. Like chips and onion dip.

[skimom2]

Homemade chicken/cheese enchiladas. I found a sauce recipe that even my pickiest eater likes, so that's a good thing

Yes, I agree - we like to use the Old (Fort) Cheese for most things.

Today Andy is making a nice roast beef with mashed potatoes, gravy, roast carrots and broccoli.

I made a pineapple cake with cream cheese and coconut frosting

Crazy mixed up macaroni I've been busy all day deep cleaning my room, so the peeps got pasta with mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes, with a sauce of butter, olive oil, garlic fresh basil, some little sausages and a little cream. Oh, and a mix of fancy schmantzy cheeses we picked up at the deli yesterday. Rounded off with a salad and some sourdough. A little weird, but very tasty.
