What's For Dinner?

[trailmix 77]

Well for dinner tonight I decided to make chicken with dumplings.

Basically I cooked some chicken, green onions, green pepper and potatoes, added a can of Asparagus soup. That's in the baking pan in the fridge now so that when we are ready to eat I will just make up some bisquick mix, drop that on top and voila'!

Ok, voila'! it did not.

I have made this recipe before (granted it was in Canada but stilllllll).

The bisquick didn't cook through and was a bit doughy on the bottom - yuck.

Funny thing is, my Husband really liked it, he even had a second helping

Joel grilled pork chops last night and I made a homemade mac n cheese dish. We had mixed veggies to round off the meal. It was the first time since Wednesday that I felt like being off the sofa and actually doing anything! Just because outpatient surgery is quick doesn't mean the recovery time is. However, it has been nice being sofa bound...I've been pampered and treated like a princess. As for supper tonight...no idea. Joel and Anna are going to the supermarket later...we'll see what they bring home.

Outpatient surgery? I had no idea Karen. Hope everything is looking and feeling much better!

Thanks for asking Carla. I had a laparoscopy on my ovaries and uterus and he went through my tummy/belly button area. The dr found cysts and endometriosis. I knew about the cysts but the endometriosis was a surprise. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and I've had this surgery twice now. I'm feeling better, enough to get up and move around and do a little cooking. Can't do any shopping though...too much walking.

Glad to hear you're feeling better Karen. Here are some flowers for you to aid in your recovery!

Cute. Gene likes dumplings as well. I've never made dumplings. I don't know if I could without feeling ill. I hate them!

Our beef brisket was good last night, but was done a little too long on the grill. I had bought one of those smoker bags. It seemed to work okay, but not enough smoke flavour for me. It was 100 degrees yesterday, and I think this affected the grill as well, screwing up the temperature gauge, so it was hard to determine when we turned it down, how hot it actually was.

Tonight leftovers.

Isn't it funny when it is SO hot outside that it messes up your grill thermostat!!!! Not funny haha!

It was almost 100 degrees here yesterday, like an oven outside. I hope it rains today

Not sure what's for dinner tonight, your brisket sounds good Carla!

[Minya's wife 24]

Au gratin potatoes (out of a box) and will use my foreman to grill some turkey polska kielbasa....don't feel like really cooking tonight. Maybe make a quick salad to go w/ dinner.... but if I won't be so inclined, its not the end of the world. We're East European, we'll eat pickles.

-P

Salad plates again here - left over egg salad, sliced cucumbers, sliced tomatoes and cheese from lunch with some cold sliced turkey, nice pumpernickel bread and corn on the cob with fresh watermelon for dessert.

Sure, Marilyn - we have a surfeit of cucumbers and tomatoes - so the more the merrier! I sent Karen and Joel home with a watermelon, some okra, some cucumbers and some herbs in addition to the cat and her belongings - and I still have about 5 quarts of cucumbers on the counter . We haven''t harvested yet today, either - big thunderstorm going on right now.
