Bad question. I like to cook. And here I am in a hotel room. I'm eating a chicken wrap that I picked up at a grocery store. Oh, joy.
What are you having for supper?

OK, so I had pasta for dinner, but I am thinking I need some cookies. The kids got mint chocolate chip chewy Chips Ahoy from Grandma and Grandpa. I think that would be a good treat for Mommy too, right? Cookies and milk sounds awesome right now!

I think if you dunk them in the milk then it would be okay!
Let me guess Pops, you have a craving for something yummy that you make at home...perhaps a fried egg sandwich with mayo or ketchup, a reuben, or leftover hot and sour soup or a double order of steamed dumplings? I enjoy cooking too. Seems like every time I travel when I settle in for the night, I get a craving.. like a cold orange or some grapes and cheddar in the fridge. So what are you craving? When will you be able to go home and make it?
Something simple. A slab of salmon in a skillet, sauteed with sliced-up bell peppers, unions, mushrooms, and spinach tossed in, flavored with citrus - some squeezed lemon and lime, a little fruit juice from the fridge, a splash of rum from the cabinet, a dash of soy or teriyaki, and with sprinklings of garlic, lemon pepper, cilantro, and cream sauce spice from King Cajun in Portland to mix up that sweet with a little heat. Served with chilled chardonnay. Tasty, somewhat light, and refreshing.
Yeah.
Sigh.
I have a recipe for homemade sloppy joes ( Rick Rodgers) I'd like to pair it with some homemade onion rings...yummy! (my kids won't know that the joes contain veggies and are actually semi- good for them..at least compared to canned sauce)
Trying to decide between fried chicken, broccoli cheese rice soup, and al pastor tacos. This week was a jumble--I finally got a menu planned, but didn't assign days. It's thrown off my system! lol
Spaghetti and Meatballs tonight. Broccoli and Asperagus too.
And it doesn't take very long at all.
I realized that I was sounding a little smart-alec after I posted. I was just running a little grumpy because I left a slab of salmon behind that had my name on it.
Home made cottage pie tonight, spiced up with a little garam masala and a couple of chopped chillies, topped with mashed spuds and swede, with green beans on the side. Still feeling yuck, so wanted a plate of comfort food I could eat with a spoon.
I had to replace my slow cooker. I love my slow cooker.
Yesterday I decided to try a new-to-me recipe for pork loin. At least it was a loin I cooked. And a few pork chops I had too. It did turn out good, but because it was a smaller meat then recommended, it was a bit dry.
Tonight, again using my slow cooker. This time, I'm making potato soup. I've never made it before either. After looking over several recipes, I took the one that looked to be the least amount of work, and changed it a bit.
Part of what I like about a slow cooker is, through everything in, turn it on. Done.
But some of these recipes are hours of cooking before you get near the slow cooker.
Dinner is smelling really good. It need to see if it's ready for smushing up yet.

Slow cookers are fab! Turn cheaper cuts of meat into delicious unctuous tasty stews!
I swear, everything you eat sounds so good.
Looks like broccoli/ cheese/ rice soup is the winnah! Now toss in some drop biscuits & it's done 
Interesting. Is the iodine thing not a big issue anymore? Wasn't the iodine in salt to help prevent goiters? I haven't heard of anyone having those since I was a kid.
Iodine is still added to many salt brands including the anti caking agents. This is a Morton Table Salt label.
I think I'm outta this thread until I get home. I had a microwaved breakfast burrito and trail mix. Not thrilling.
