Thursday Night's Dinner, 2/03/2022

[itsjoan...@webtv.net]

What's going to be on your table this evening??

We've had s.t.e.a.d.y. rain for two days and tonight/wee hours of
Friday the temperature is predicted to drop into the teens with a
chance of a light skim of ice. I've made a good-size dish of white
trash scalloped potatoes with cubed ham and one for my neighbor
across the alley. Both dishes are in the oven as I write and I'm glad
I took advantage of Kroger's special yesterday for a 5 pound bag of
russets for $1.74. A perfect way to cook those taters and something
rib sticking and hot is just the ticket.

There's a large bowl of Waldorf salad I've made and she'll get a big
portion of that as well. Something sweet and crunchy but not too sweet.

Sheep, as in a wether. He was a big boy. We dispatched one 3 days ago
and will be butchered today. I'm thinking about using some in a
Massman curry tonight.

I'd enjoy that.

Never hear of Waldorf salad in Australia for many years now. Why? It's
delicious. I'd love a Waldorf salad today.

[Michael Trew]

That sounds great! It's been raining 2 days here as well, but it turned
to sleet. Supposed to all freeze and get 6 more inches of snow tonight.
UGH, make it stop! We closed the store early at 4PM, and I made it
home. Before I stopped home, I realized that I'd eaten nothing all day,
and had no interest in cooking (or leftovers), so I grabbed the swiss
steak dinner special at a local cafeteria restaurant.

Nothing to write home about, but I also had creamed lima beans for the
first time (not bad, actually). I normally would choose a roll, but I
took cornbread with it this time, and I'm glad that I did. I normally
disdain cornbread because it's always dry, but this was the best
cornbread that I ever had; very moist! I'm stuffed full now.

We had a stir fry pasta dish with shrimp, red pepper, broccoli, lots
of garlic, a pinch of red pepper. It was delicious.

I've never seen it at any restaurant that I've frequented. It's rather simple
to make and dang good, too. The original recipe called for grapes if my
memory hasn't failed me but I use raisins and they plump up a bit in the
dressing. I tell myself it's healthy eating those apples, raisins, celery and
nuts.

Leftover fake rou zhao fan. Still no "fan", but I've got one more
serving and I'll see about serving it over rice vermicelli.

I'm gearing up for another round of snowblowing this morning,
the third for this winter storm. We didn't get much snow yesterday,
but there was quite a bit of blowing and drifting.

Both your and Joan's meals sound good.
I had a big bowl of turkey vegetable soup plus 1/2 of a peanut butter

Awoke this morning to sleeting, all night and still... about 3" of ice
pellets on top of the previous snow and the already plowed/shoveled
areas... 22º, no melting.
Not sure about dinner but it'll be something to use the lonely left
over thick cut fried pork chop... I'm thinking house special pork fly
lice... got 'shrooms, eggs, celery... the chop bone can make a broth
for cooking the rice.

We've gotten it bad this year so far. It's still coming down, on top of
freezing rain from yesterday.

Everything is a sheet of ice here with snow over it. Fortunately, it
will be in the 40's again next week.

That sounds delicious, I could go for some pork fried rice.

[Ritchie]

I'm learning more and more American. Chicken fried steak is steak
fried in the way of chicken. So pork fried rice must be rice fried as
if it was pork.

Actually pork fried rice is fly lice that contains pork, usually diced

one of my favorite soups to make from left overs and to help clean out
the fridge. We don't eat much rice, a ten pound sack can last us ten+
years. Rather than rice (or pasta) we prefer egg noodles.

No tails, or is American terminology for another cut?

Yes, I think grapes are an ingredient. I remember when I was young,
Waldorf salads were fairly popular in Australia, in the 1970's/early
1980's. I always enjoyed them.

Those videos I've been watching from Azerbaijan and Dagestan they
use the 'tail' fat. Those sheep look like they're wearing a bustle.

Do people in Australia typically eat those? In the USA,
that would be dog food, though not really because I
doubt that any male sheep other than the few needed
to inseminate live to even a year old.

Hmm. I certainly use that portion of the sheep but don't find it
excessively fatty. Would depend on the breed of sheep to an extent,
too.

>Those sheep look like they're wearing a bustle.

The sheep in that pic looks somewhat unusual to me, or maybe it's just
the photo and/or me not noticing the same on local sheep here... I had
to google 'bustle' :)

I just leave them be, unless they're so big that they creep out my

There can be quite big differences between breeds. I've always had
Dorpers, which originate from Sth Africa, and are kind of goat like in
some ways. They don't require shearing, which is a big plus for me.
https://www.dorper.com.au/

A few months ago, I also bought some Wiltshires, originating from the
Mediterranean. They also do not require shearing
