I've had pumpkin pie for breakfast.
Edibles '08 -Part 4
Awwww, Jen, a girl after my own heart! LOL
I think pie can be eaten anytime of the day. How about pizza pie for breakfast? I love that too.
Does anyone else like COLD baked bean sandwiches?
I do with toasted rustic whole grain and thin slices of cheddar cheese. Cold eggrolls anyone? Cold curries?
Does anyone else like COLD baked bean sandwiches?
My husband loves them!
LOL
I forgot to mention the brown mustard (yellow or Dijon does not work). Have you tried it Celeste?
Have I tried cold beans? Yes, many times it's just not one of my "loves". lol Now M&M's is a whole other story.....I'd Fence for my Emmie's!!!!!
I like cold baked bean and dill pickle sandwiches.
Oh, that sounds interesting, Deb. I'll check it out.
DH was sent to Maypop with a request to photo the harvested baskets, jars and things hanging from rafters.. He was busy with final chimney and garden chores and did not follow through. He did bring home a vase of fresh picked Thai basil and parsley. There were sweet and hot peppers The black dish is filled with tobascos from the plants hanging in DD's bedroom. There are more on the plants than in the dish.
Celeste, so how is yours different? It sounds a little like shepherd's pie? With a crust and some flavor. (Sigh) If only pies didn't all have crust!
Laurel, I wish my DH were that trustworthy! Looks like a scrumptious feast in the making.
Carrie this is how I make mine.....
Makes 3 Pies
1 1/2lbs Extra lean hamburger
3 lbs. Extra lean ground pork
1 small onion diced
1 teaspoon ground pepper (? Approx. cause I never measure)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (? again..never measure)
Dash of nutmeg
Place in large pan, add just barely enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over med. heat, reduce and simmer covered for one hour.
Meanwhile peel approx. 3-5 lbs of Potatoes boil, drain, mash. DO NOT ADD BUTTER OR MILK....OK if it has some lumps.
Poor mashed potatoes into cooked meat mixture. Mix well.
Place crust in pie plate, fill with meat & potatoe mixture, top with pie shell. Make a few slits, baste top crust slightly with milk and bake @ 350 for 50-60 minutes. Serve hot with cranberry, pickels and what ever suits your fancy.
I eat mine loaed with mustard! Laurel is that what you meant the mustard for???
No Celeste, I like the brown mustard with the baked beans, cheddar and toasted rustic bread. What are you placing in a pan and boiling for an hour?
Since cold and hot are merging here, I have to mention last night's dinner. Dixie ice cream (grits with cheese) and pan roasted chicken with a saute of garden peppers, onions, herbs and mushrooms. We had left over garden salsa. I reduced it with the chicken and we ate the chicken mix muddled and puddled on the cheese grits. I'm going to serve that in my restaurant someday!
Laurel
BTW Laurel, thats a lovely picture, i'd love to have some fresh herbs from the garden.
The cheese on the bean sandwich sounds great. Not sure about the mustard and dill pickle. I'll reserve judgment before I try them. Laurel, the pictures of your Thai basil ( a while ago) looked great. That is one colorful picture of your counter. I have a picture of a conversation amd you saying that I'll be right back. I have to go to my garden - and up the stairs you trot and come back with armfuls of produce. LOL That's a great picture. My DDIL that lives around the corner makes cheese grits. They are wonderful.
So when are we going to have a new restaurant to try? Near future? I like muddles and puddles. Do you have a lot of events planned that you will be catering?
Celeste, that pie sounds wonderful.
Everything sounds so interesting ; ) I'm a very picky eater. wish I wasn't. from time to time I try things I know I don't like hoping it will change, but no luck.
Celeste, your pie does sound good. something DH would like for a winter supper.
I didn't have a very good summer and most of my herbs are still out in the garden. All of my beautiful basils stayed in their tiny 2" pots and never got planted out. So I'm back to store bought for most everything this winter. (sigh)
Pixie i have printed your recipe out - sounds half way to mousaka - have to see if the wife will add some eggplant for topping.
'Halfway to Mousaka' - great movie or book title!
could be the movie version of what happens to me this weekend - oldest daughter is having an engagement party - first time with the ex-wife's greek family in over 10 years - i've requested a security protection detail
Uh oh - Greek Wedding sequel?!
Remember - Mousaka es su casa!
victor trust me that that Greek wedding movie was an UNDER exaggeration. that all i can say publicly here at DG.
Ha ha - I said the same thing when I saw it. I grew up in a Greek neighborhood.
Bill - congrats on the engagement of your DD!! I hope it goes well with the Greek dancing you'll be expected to do....LOL ....and don't forget to pack heat just in case.....some of those red hot peppers should do nicely.
Laurel - those herbs and peppers look good. I shouldn't have gotten on this thread before supper. Everything has made me really hungry.
Jan - pizza for breakfast is a YES! Not sure about a bean sandwich for breakfast, but I do like the brown mustard combo, so maybe!
I love shepard's pie, but hubby doesn't so I haven't had any in ages.
Shepherd's pie is a favorite winter food but we take liberties that are probably unacceptable to purists. Collards and hot sausage are not traditional. Neither are shitakes and bok choy. How 'bout some hominy with Yukon golds? Then throw in all the other veggies.
Grampapa, I'm not a picky eater. My motto is, "So much food. So little time" (sigh). It's an ethnic thing that we wake up in the morning and discuss the next month's menu over coffee. At least that's my excuse. The best thing about winding down the garden is that we visit our fabulous International Farmer's Market. We went today and got fresh tofu, ginger, baby bok choy, bulbing onions, scallions, snow peas, mung bean, red romaine, and fennel bulbs. We love to grill the romaine, green onions and fennel. It becomes a salad.
Carrie, DH has my heart. Trustworthiness comes with that.
Louise, I need to poke around and see what you've been up to since you left the "deep freezer" generally known as "Up Notch". Send me a sign from down heah. Been gearing up for the holidays (working) and not keeping up.
Laurel
Are bronze fennel bulbs edible? I've just been growing it as an ornamental. It's a wonderful host for caterpillars, but there weren't nearly as many this year as last.
I'm glad I have already eaten--your recipes all sound great---Pixie, one of my friends is originally from Lewiston, & she gave me the tourtiere recipe, but I never made it! It does sound kind of heavy. I also can't eat shepard's pie after seeing it in the school cafeteria---the kids would say very nasty things about it. The fennel sounds good---I use it a lot in salads or sauteed, or roasted-- -I even mixed it with sausage to make a raviola filling, but it was stringy! My son & GDs came for dinner tonight--my DIL is on her way home from Freeport, ME--Christmas shopping! I think she just wanted a liitle vacation from the girls!
AHHH, Freeport.....home of L.L.Bean, GAP, Bananna Republic, ect...love it there!!
The pie is very heavy....'meat and tater pie' is what my non-french relatives call it.
We never had Shepherd's pie in the school cafeteria here. I feel so deprived. On the other hand, mac and cheese with some unidentifiable, curdled dairy product was usually on the menu.
The fennel is going to be roasted with garlic and olive oil tomorrow. We are firing the wood oven for that and pizzas. I'll cook a lamb stew over the wood fire too. Really love that. I'll take pics if it happens. It's Fall. Celebrate the season.
Yummmmmmmmmm!
here is a funny story about my first marriage - during the greek ceremony you do not say a word and walk around the alter three times - each time the priest is moving the steffina "crowns" you wear on your head that is attached by ribbon to the wife to be from one head to the other.
my friends had never seen this before - as they were sitting in the church one of my buddies asked another "what are they doing?" his reply was a classic "I think they are trying to make Billy disappear!"
it did not end there - the next time we all got together for a party - the room emptied of my buddies - then a few minutes later they all emerged wearing burger king crowns and in typical greek fashion all starting dancing - men with men.
That's funny, Bill. My friend married a Greek girl. The wedding ceremony was real long. They had a belly dancer at the reception.
louise thx for the congrats - unfortunately this is one union i hope does not happen. daughter has a lot of growing up to do - and the husband to be's picture can be found in the dictionary under lazy or no ambition. nice kid - don't see a bright future only hands out for $$.
Two of my four sons called off their engagements. The first one's timing could have been a little better since it happened just AFTER the invitations had been sent out. A good move on his part, though. I felt horrible for the girl. She had been out of the country for her student-teaching and for those 9 weeks, he said he hadn't missed her. I think that is a good indication for a marriage not to happen.
The second one - I have NO clue what happened and probably never will. Her mother and I were devastated.
Bill - that is soooo funny! (the story about your first wedding - not your concern over DD's upcoming marriage!) I have had those feelings about a nephew's marriage and sure enough....the divorce has just been made final. So sad for the kids! It's very difficult when others can see the problems to come before the couple can.
Jan - sounds like it all was for the best, but oh my, the angst for Mom!
Since this is the edibles thread......here's my edible of the day......Hank squeezed our first pitcher of juice and at breakfast we clinked glasses and said "Here's to your retirement!" LOL
Oh, Yum, I can taste the fresh juice now. Keep 'em coming, Louise.
