Husband is making french onion soup.

But he's making it with chicken stock instead of beef.

Making taco soup tonight, last night I cooked goatmeat stew over rice. I have been watching hubby make the stew since he arrived and last night was the first time I made it. I did a good job and he said it was delicious.

As always things look so yummy here! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm making saucy chicken and asparagus tonight. Easy peazy recipe if anyone wants it. Asparagus was $1.98 a pound here this week! Amazing!

The original french onion soup recipe I have is also made with chicken stock, and it comes out beautifully. But I have seen lots of recipes that call for beef stock, too, so who's to say which is better. It's all personal taste, really.

OMG, that's hilarious! (But it sure does look yummy!)

Interesting. Do you have a recipe for the goatmeat stew, Forchika?

Isn't it wonderful?! I just love when fruits and vegetables come into season.

On Saturday we had roasted chicken with homemade fries and collard greens and...... SWISS CHALET SAUCE!!!!! I had brought a few packages back with me from Canada. It was sooooooo goooooood.

Yesterday we ate at Pollo Tropical because we were out buying my new rug shampooer. I have not a clue what we'll be having this evening. I have a lot of grocery shopping to do, so I guess I'll see what strikes my fancy while I'm out.

Ahhh groceries. We are again low on all foodstuffs! Husband will stop at the store tonight for a few things, so that will help determine what we are having tonight, although I did take out pork chops last night which we didn't have, because we had the left over chinese food.

Crickey do you actually deep fry your homemade fries or bake them?

I double fry them like they do in England. You first fry them at a medium low temp (325^o)to cook their insides and bring out the sugars. Then you take them out before they brown and let them rest on a wire rack until you are ready to eat. Then you raise the temperature a bit to brown them. This makes them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, without being greasy. And I always salt them as soon as they're done. The salt doesn't stick to them afterwards if you don't.

ok, I think I am going to make some breaded baked fish with homemade tartar sauce and I think some potato wedgies...

Yeah.... I was thinking salmon and salad or something.

[Marilyn. 340]

I am not sure about the fish now... hubby has school today and I am not sure when he will be home.. and fish is something that needs to be eaten right aways...

maybe I will make it tomorrow, he doesn't have school until 7....

[Udella&Wiz 325]

I have chicken thighs out - no clue what I am doing to them tho.

any ideas my little friends?

MarilynP - glad you liked the Cabbage bake, it's a regular around here.

[Marilyn. 340]

this is the recipe I found for the fish.... never tried it before....

250 ml milk

2 teaspoons salt

675 g cod , fillet cut into 4 pieces

40 g butter or margarine , melted

1. Preheat the oven to 230degrees/450 F/gas 8.

2. Grease a shallow ovenproof baking dish.

3. Combine the breadcrumbs, oregano and cayenne pepper on a plate and blend together.

4. Mix the milk with the salt in a bowl, stirring well to dissolve the salt.

5. Dip the pieces of cod fillet in the milk, then transfer to the plate and coat with the bread-crumb mixture.

6. Arrange the coated fish in the prepared baking dish, in a single layer.

7. Drizzle the melted butter or margarine over the fish.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
