having a surplus of cooked green beans this
morning i mixed some sloppy joes in with the
green beans and had 2/3rd sheppards pie for
breakfast. then later on i had half a can of
spaghetti-os from Mom yesterday so mixed some
of the sloppy joes in there and that was more
like goulash.

simple stuff, but better than no fresh cooked
veggies at all.

Is this what is called "white trash cooking" in the States?

i'm sure some people can think of it that ways.

green beans are a great low calorie filler for me
because i love how they taste and that's why i grow
a lot of them. fresh picked and minimally cooked.

i'll have some more today with what's left of the
sloppy joes and also some left-over mac-n-cheese.

I'm not a fan of green beans but spicy green beans are pretty tasty.

No canned pasta for me, but I love fresh green beans. I'm still waiting
on mine to be ready.

A produce grower near my old home town has had TONS of green beans... you should have some ready soon...

Here is a pic of some of their produce, from their FB page. All of the stuff in the pic they grew, including the eggs,
as they sell farm - fresh eggs from their chickens... this is a perfect summer repast... the corn especially is scrumptious...

Lol! I've been busy enough to not tell much on cookery here.

Tonight uses a bit of leftovers too. I made a rather nice chicken
stirfry served on rice. The leftovers just got added to a bell pepper,
mushroom (baby bella), green onion with Tandoori curry and drizzeled
with garlic olive oil.

The other parts are 2 steamed bluecrabs each and baked eggplant with
the same olive oil, parmesean, and 'bakos' plus some original MS Dash.

Yes. Since I have that idiot blocked, I knew 'it was someone else'.

I have to laugh though. 'white trash cooking' isn't quite like that
and his mix, while whimsical, may not be that insane.

Here's some bits an overseas person might miss.

Sloppy joes is sold in cans but you have to add meat. It comes in
mild, medium and hot. Songbird doesn't specify if he added meat or how
mild/hot the spicing was. Now you probably won't like what is in a
standard can of 'sloppy joes' sold under that name, but we don't know
if he made it from a can called that.... Think a bit. Once that soaks
in, it's actually a name for a tomato/chile base with ground meat that
is thick and piled on a soft white bun. I do a scratch version
sometimes.

Although I don't see a reference for it, military may have made it as
early as WWII. The Navy definatly did and during my career. It was
used a lot to vary our choices or make something good if we were long
from a supply run such as to Timor then Darwin. That was 2001-2007 but
in the 90's, the Stennis had it in the foward galley (fast food) all
the time.

made from the usual here which means tomato soup from
the can added to some sauteed celery, onions, ground chuck and
probably a shot of mushroom flavored soy sauce a bit of mustard
and ketchup are also likely involved in some amounts. rarely
is anything measured.

it's very versatile and can be upgraded to chili rather
easily (add green peppers, garlic, beans if you like and some
chili powder).

Ok, common mix there. Meatime someone probably got busy looking up
ingredients of 'manwich'

She's also chummy with trolls like Greg. I don't know if that's
because she simply doesn't give a shit or because she's clueless and
doesn't realise what scum they are.
