What are you having for supper?

[Grandpa]

Thanks Grandpa - I am going to see a chiropractor this afternoon. Don't know if you "believe" in chiropractic treatment or not, but getting my back (spine and neck) cracked seems to be helping me.

(I have noisy bones and that satisfying "crunch" sound always works for me!)

I believe in what works. I went to a chiropractor once for what seemed to be, and was, I think, a trigger point issue around the right scapula. He fixed it. I was grateful.

Then he cracked my neck. I was not grateful. He asked me how it felt. I said it was scary as hell, like he'd just pinged a wire that went from my head through my legs, and not do that again. He said some of his patients described it as a warm flush. I said it wasn't a warm flush, it was scary as hell, and don't do it again.

He's a good guy. He gave me good advice on warming and stretching and eating glucosamine. I've sent other people to him. But he's not touching my neck again. I now get the trigger points and other things done with a massage therapist I've come to trust.

See how I get? Geez. Anyway, hope it works and that you feel better soon!

Like you said - whatever works for you! I guess it is up to the individual. I have heard some scary stories about neck adjustments. Andy was not impressed either and stopped going to one because of that. (He said it hurt his neck).

Friend of a friend's daughter's chiropractor did neck cracking and she stroked; thirty five year old mother, it's been over a year and she is still in therapy!

Tilapia...if I spelled that right...fish fillets, asparagus spears, baked potato, bread & butter pickles, slice or two of bread, a cold drink.

Tonight, its my Italian pork chops with lots of green beans.

I have a recipe for sandwiches made from a slow cooked pot roast. The roast is cooked in the juice of a whole jar of peperoncinis, rosemary & beef broth. The sandwich is topped with carmelized onions and the juice of the roast/pepper mixture. It sounds and looks so good! This is another Pioneer Woman recipe? Did I mention I got two of her cookbooks for Valentine's Day? It is called Drip Beef in case anyone is interested.

Any cook book that has the word Beef in it makes my mouth water...that recipe sounds yum!

Going to make something tonight with the slow cooked spaghetti sauce I made yesterday:

Lean ground beef, fresh mushrooms, green pepper and onion with spices, cooked in the slow cooker for three hours.

(Oh yeah, I cheated and used a jar of Classico roasted garlic and onion pasta sauce for the tomato part).

I now have it cooled and ready to use - anyone have any suggestions? (I think Andy calls this a "Bolognese" sauce) - I just call it meat sauce!

Do you ever just mix the spaghetti noodles and the meat/sauce together? That's how I make spaghetti. Never did like simply ladling a spoonful of sauce/meat over a plate of noodles. Tonight is is salmon burgers. We're on a fish kick. Here in the U.P. we've got winter and three months of bad ice fishing.

Going to shoot for the Persian chicken again. Last week I was too tired that night & just ordered pizza--lol. So: Persian chicken, lemon rice, asparagus, salad. Ooh--I'm making myself hungry!

 

[skimom2]

It was so, SO good! I'll definitely be making this again

I had spaghetti for lunch (just a small bowl)

Then for supper I made a nice lasagne with whole wheat lasagne noodles, cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella etc. I did use extra spaghetti sauce (pasta sauce) to moisten the noodles as they were the kind you don't have to cook in advance.

It looks really good and I just told my son and his GF to cut a chunk and nuke it in the microwave when they get hungry.

(My Mom did the spaghetti mixed with sauce trick in the "old days" which was great for one meal but I found it gets kind of soggy for the leftovers

The Italian pork chops were a hit as usual, who can grumble about mozzarella, eh? Tonight it's back to basics with cheeseburgers from the grill with all the condiments along with potato chips and pickled beets.

Thank you! It is as good as it sounds. And really simple to make. You just slow cook it, then shred it and throw it on a big ol' bun! Yum!

Leftover meat loaf with a veggie to be determined. I love leftovers, especially with eggs for breakfast.

I adore pickled beets. We have not fired up the gas barbie here yet - still too cold and windy out (even though its almost Easter!)


I may go to the bakery and get some Easter bread - still not sure what to make for supper tonight

 

[Haunted]

I started marinating chicken breasts last night for tonight to serve with lots of green beans.

 

[Walter Oobleck]

Left-over ham from Easter dinner...baked beans (I posted a recipe in the beans thread)...au gratin potatoes, a cold drink, slice of bread, bread & butter pickles, and fresh asparagus.

I'm doing a new recipe, not done it before. Spinach balls (blanch, squeeze and roughly chop some spinach, mix with egg, parmesan, breadcrumbs and pinch of nutmeg. Shape into balls and fry gently in olive oil until golden). Grate 1 and a half courgettes (or "zucchini"), fry in butter with chopped chilli and garlic. Toss courgettes etc in with some cooked pasta and lots more parmesan, top with spinach balls. No meat, unusual for me I have to say!

That sounds great! I'm taking notes
