2 years ago I ate a 14 lb lobster all by myself with butter and more butter :-)
Hey! Good Lookin' .......
that's impressive!
I watched DH do a 5 lb'er....14 has to be HUGE!!!!!!
Those cookies sound delish, Willie! I can't think of anything I like wrapped---if I order a wrap for lunch, I eat the inside & throw away the wrap! Oh----I do like stuffed shells if they count as "wrapped"---cheese & spinach, with fresh basil--yum.
ooohhhh and there is a polish bakery by my dad that ROCKS... they make the best jelly crumb buns.. those little old polish ladies got it goin on... if my dad comes up here for anything (like tomato plants) I bribe him to get me some of those!
sherri how did you get through the shell? with an axe?
and i edit my statement above - i can eat lobster as well - wrapped in butter! once did 14 in an all you can eat joint that is now gone that was in sudbury - that included a salad and steamers for starters
Oh - let's not get into food smells!! Old-fashioned bakeries, Italian cheese / meat stores, etc. I had two of the best ever in Astoria. I never complained when my mom asked me to go there.
I had a pizza place that also sold breads right out of the kitchen in the back around the corner from my house... other than grandmas flowers that was the next best smell in the late evening
Nice. When I would wait at the subway station near Manhattan College, I would smell the Stella D'Oro plant. Real nice. You could buy a nice size bag of broken cookies for $1.
yum... across the street from the pizza place is a home made chocolate store... WITH THE BEST candy ... my sister actually gets the stuff shipped to ohio in dry ice ... she says it's worth every penny extra to get it when we aren't meeting up to give her stuff
you have to see her list... all from different places... kielbasa, taylor ham, chocolate layer cake, bagels, pizza, the crunchy noodles from a chinese place the list goes on and on when we go out there... or when she comes here... my dad does all the running around before we see her... I even had to bring her wedding cake out there... for her second wedding.. she refused to buy one that was of lesser quality... I was driving praying I didn't get into an accident .. of course she got married on new years eve.... lots of ice... boy was i on edge that whole ride
OMG Allison.....a wedding cake all that way in Jan.?? Good grief woman., have you got nerves of steel?? lol
Favorite memory smell.......the field near my grandparents camp.
It smelled of wild blueberries, raspberries, apples and wildflowers all at different times, but slightly over lapping the other. It was wonderful!!!
for me it was my hockey equipment - with all the staff infections and rashes that you here athletes getting - for 25 years i had most of this equipment and it never had been washed - opening that hockey bag was and still is a great smell that brings back memories
Oh man, Bill! Thankfully we can't attach smell links yet.
i always did have room to move chasing a puck into a corner - i always thought i just got there faster than the defensemen
did i mention that i have my mothers side of the gene pool - we are considered sweaters
Did we need to know that, Bill?^_^
just trying to provide a clear picture or whiff of the essence of the scent I talking about :)
ask any one who player hockey - stepping into the locker room - close to what heaven could smell like, or does heaven have the aroma's of a brewery?
trust me Pixie... there was no way I was going to fall asleep behind the wheel.... I was exhausted once I got there
Spanish rice with gandules (pigeon peas) tonight. Yummy!
Long loaf of fresh cuban bread here.....I'm making cuban sandwiches to take down to a neighbor's river-front gazebo for a small sunset gathering. Our neighbor (who is a fantastic cook!) invited us and our friends who are visiting to come for her scrumptious homemade banana cream pie and coffee, so I'm bringing the sandwiches and whole grain salsa chips to be the "appetizer" for the pie. LOL
don't know what pigeon peas are
sounds good Louise
Just disovered this thread, how did I miss it since cooking is one of my favorite things to do? That includes gardening.
I cook from scratch most of the time. Leftovers are for the next day or are kept in the freezer, so are the loaves of bread I bake, do not have a bread machine, would miss the kneeding part . I make wonderful chicken or turkey soup from its carcas, or so my children tell me when I hand it over to them as I do most everything, since I possibly could not eat all that by myself. I am a great-grandmother, you can see I am an old fashioned cook. My husband was a very good cook too but he is, I am sure, with angels somewhere.
I use a slow cooker once in a while but do not care for it except for baby spareribs with sauer kraut, that is pretty good. Also make vegetable soup from roasted root vegetables, very sweet especially with lots of parsnips.
Edited to say I am not a typist only with two fingers, just saw all the typos, forgot to check, sorry, I should know better
Since I was born and brought up in Austria, I use many of my mother's recipes, especially at Christmas time using her wonderful baked items
Love this threa keep it up, WNY and thanks for starting it, pretty soon many will have vegetables growing in the garden, at least I hope so. Wish I had one but ar my age it would ne a bit too much now.

can't beat home made breads.... you just reminded me of a bread my friends mom used to make us.. I believe she is from Austria
Guglhupf (pronounced Google Hoff)... it was out of this world... she made us crepes from scratch .. what a great cook!
Just googled guglhupf.
it's good stuff!
because I couldn't remember the name when we were young... we called it googlewhatchamacallit
Dinner last night was simple: Pork Tenderloins (with garlic and thyme) grilled on the cast iron skillet with the raised ribs. Also had homemade stuffing and lima beans.
Breakfast is blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup and coffee .... Of course, this is from my world-famous pancake recipe!!
I am glad to see such an interest in sharing our menus!! I already have several new recipes to try!! Thanks! And ..... Keep them coming!!
after three days of turkey (last sndwich for lunch today) it will be flank steak tonight
Ha! Me too...Rib Eye tonight with a garden salad, garlic bread and rice pilaf.
well have a veggie - either green beans or broccoli - and a big batch of shrooms and garlic.
love those t-sandwitches though - just turkey stuffing and gravy
Lunch has been a tomato sauce with chopped collards (today I'll be adding some tofu that I forgot to buy on Sunday!), and Dinner is beans and rice (red kidney and black beans with onions some spices and some tomato sauce, with brown rice).
These were actually pretty filling and yummy. and cheap!
Have to work at church this pm for a funeral---hate to say it, but we workers bring the leftovers home for dinner--it's not much---3 types of sandwiches, fruit platter, & lots of bar cookies, but it's enough for us! Have to get going--funeral is at 1.
Yummy - funeral leftovers!
Last night we had home made pea soup that we had frozen previously and grilled hm and cheese sandwiches.
Tonight's still up in the air...no idea!
We ended up having Shepherds Pie last night, will have the leftovers tonight.
I love shepherd's pie but hubby doesn't so haven't made it in 15 yrs. He's not a big casserole person.
