What's for dinner? (or breakfast? or lunch?) comfort foods

Yes - my wife is Puerto Rican. I make a mean Spanish rice and rice and beans, etc.

I got some of my best recipes (and eating from her) she is almost 90 now and still going strong.

Corned beef, red potatoes, salad, and a Sfogliatelle

A bologna sandwich on whole wheat!

mmmmmmm corned beef

I can't eat bologna anymore, I read the ingredients

lol!

Worst thing to do!

Takes me forever at the store anymore I read every label not just for ingredients but now for where a product is from....why can't we grow our own mushrooms? do we really have to import them from China????? honestly.

You can buy a kit and do it yourself. Just remember to add heavy metals and other toxins to match the Chinese ones!

Left over pasta.....my friend from Foxboro called last night...her husband made Martha Stewart's 3 garlic pasta last night....he added white beans to the recipe.....sounds good to me!

LOL, Victor, I was thinking to myself "sheesh!! you can grow mushrooms in your closet and we have to get them from China??? What the heck!"
Tonight's going to be pork chops and kraut

someone has to shovel the manure

LOL - I figure if I dare to ingest fresh spinach....and eggs... and chicken.... how bad can bologna be? At least up front I know that it has been processed to death and hopefully all the living organisms have been slaughtered along with the meat (and chemicals)!

now you are talkin!!!!

Great reasoning! Works for me.

I got some in the fridge, no wonder why they call it Wunderbar

I used to hold bologna over the fire (gas range) My mom would scream about dripping the oil on the stove. I guess it was the good instincts of a kid ---I must have known I had to kill something in it and kill it good!

I can remember (was it in the 60's???) going to the Worlds Fair in NY....with the school. Wow those school trips were the best..riding the buses and the trains..with some spending money ($1.50 or 2 bucks!) peanut butter and jelly sandwich...a soda...bag of chips.... Anyway...at the fair there was something called 'canadian bacon' .... a little circle of heaven looking like bologna... I tasted that thing (I was just a little italian gal from Brooklyn and so I knew meatballs and such ... but "not no foreign bacon!!" and I thought it was heaven on earth.

Canadian bacon is great!

With bologna?

taylor burger!!!!

Canadian bacon & poached egg.....heaven.

Never tasted Canadian bacon, tasted English sausages though, (yuck..).

Thin pork chops pan fried in olive oil, with mac & cheese, ice cream & pineapple cake for dessert.

have some cAnAdian bacon in the fridge right now.

Love C. Bacon!

Try it, WC....It's more like ham than bacon....going out to lunch....again! Meeting friends keeps me going in this nasty weather......

Isnt canadian bacon a glorified ham?

Ahh, I get it, like a sweet bacon taste, I'll check it out!

couldn't even begin to pronounce that Bill

just teasing the dancing canuck if she shows up on this thread - Aye!

What exactly is the difference between C bacon and ham???

Not sure but I think its the cut, then how its cured.

All I know is that when i first tried it back in the 60's ---it wasn't meatballs!

What part of Italy is your family from, rosie?? My grandmother was from Bari and grandfather was from Positano.

comfort foods - wife is on a diet and made a big pot roast on sunday - she is not eating any - will be having my 5th serving tonight to finish it up - good thing i like it! still not sure why whe made so much though

Cindy's dieting again??? She didn't look like she needed to lose any weight. Did you make a stupid man comment???

Cindy looks wonderful! When I get sick of leftovers, Robin & Suey get them......

'Stupid man comment'??!!!!!!

BBQ chicken with potato & egg salad, small salad w/ olives & feta cheese on the side
