Hee Haw Moment: What's For Supper?

[benny05]

Pot roast cooked in French Onion broth with potatoes
Organic Herb Salad with Raspberry Vinigrette

White wine or de-cafe iced tea--

For dessert: Fresh Peach Pie with cinnamon and a touch of Triple Sec


Who wants some fresh peach pie?

[livetohike]

1. I'd love some fresh peach pie, please

:-).

We're having Mexican Style Polenta Stuffed Anaheim Peppers, refried beans and a guacamole salad. A couple of Margaritas to start off and for desert a raspberry sorbet with fresh rasperries on top.

[benny05]

4. Sounds pretty good..

Peach pie about to come out of the oven...can you smell the cinnamon?

[livetohike]

41. I hope you saved a piece for me

:-).

[benny05]

44. Mr. Benny ate 2 slices tonight

And I only had one...so there's still some in the fridge. What can I bring you to drink with that piece of pie?

[bigwillq]

2. I'm having pizza!

:bounce:

[benny05]

5. I had some leftover pizza for lunch

What kind are you having?

[bigwillq]

8. Just plain cheese!

It was good. I had two slices and I have a third left. I will eat that later.

[benny05]

10. Chicago Style, NY Style, or Bigwillq homemade? n/t

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. He lives in CT. So it's either...

homemade or inferior pizza substitute.

[bigwillq]

14. My pizza was yummy!

It was NY style, thin crust from this place where I live.
CT has some really good pizza, especially New Haven.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. Maybe New Haven does then.

However both east & west of there it seems to suck.

[bigwillq]

18. New Haven pizza rocks!

Suburbs of New Haven have some good pizza as well.
I've never really had pizza too far east or west of New Haven though besides those suburbs.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

22. This is my CT pizza experience...

Nothing good around Fairfield. My stepsister has lived there for four years and she says she still can't find decent pizza. Then out by Mystic & Stonington, more really crappy pizza. There's one relatively good place around Stonington and that's Pie & Suds, but it's also in Westerly, RI.

[bigwillq]

23. I wouldn't think places near the RI border

would have good pizza.

Seafood, yes but not pizza.

I really don't venture into Fairfield County all that much well except for upper Fairfield County.
Never ate any pizza down that way though.

[benny05]

24. I had some NY Pizza two weeks ago

In Alexandria, VA. It rocked.

My old fav place in NYC was Ray Berry's, but I don't know if it is still in business.

I'm very fond of Chicago style too.

[bigwillq]

25. I don't like Chicago style

:puke:

[benny05]

26. Not for everyone

I just love pizza, as long it is fresh, not burned, nor undercooked.

[bigwillq]

27. I hate deep dish

too thick=yucky! :puke:


I kind of like mine burned. This place in New Haven, Modern Pizza, burns it a bit and it's so good!

[benny05]

28. You're a great DU'er to hang out with

Now, I'm going to serve some food. I'll be back in an hour to see if anyone else wants fresh peach pie!

[bigwillq]

29. Enjoy!

I'll be here! :hi:

[benny05]

17. You have Ned's pic up

Have you met Ned? He looked so electric with John Edwards when Edwards was there about 10 days ago.

[bigwillq]

19. I have not met him.

Maybe some day.

[bigwillq]

12. NY style

thin crust from this place where near I live. It's some good stuff. Just the way I like it.

[Fox Mulder]

3. Three different kinds of chicken and fried rice.

I'm going "Chinese" tonight! :) :9

[benny05]

6. Love Fried Rice!

Could eat that 3 times a week!

[johnnie]

7. Kielbasa on the grill

With bbq sauce. And I am thinking of some grilled broccoli too. Either that or corn on the cob.

[benny05]

9. Corn on the cob grilled would be perfect

Yum!

[johnnie]

13. They are

I buy a dozen at a time and take the tusks off, then put them in freezer bags and put them in a freezer. Whenever I want one I just pull it out and put it in foil. I butter it and salt and pepper it then roll it in the foil and put it on the grill. It's not as good as fresh, but when you live alone it works because the rest of the corn doesn't go bad.

[benny05]

20. Are you dining by yourself?

Sounds like a nice meal to me..:thumbsup:

[grasswire]

51. the tusks? the tusks?

Was that a typo, or is that what you call them? Thanks, it made me laugh.

[SeattleGirl]

16. Stir fry amd rice.

Yummy!

[benny05]

21. Sounds good

What kind of stir fry...just veggie, or with shrimp...?

[SeattleGirl]

46. With chicken

and it was fabulous!

[benny05]

30. Pleased to report back

There is some pie left, if Mr. Benny doesn't eat it all..he had 2 slices!

[NewWaveChick1981]

31. Vegetarian quesadillas...

:9 :hi:

[benny05]

32. Yum!

I like quesadillas...are you having guacamole or avocado to go with them?

[NewWaveChick1981]

35. Guacamole, sour cream, and homemade pico...

:9

[benny05]

38. Si, Si...

any margaritas or cervezas with those? :-)

[GOPisEvil]

33. Roasted pork tenderloin and curry-flavored couscous.

:9

[benny05]

36. That sounds good too

Aren't you the same person who hung out at Camp Casey last summer?

[GOPisEvil]

39. Among many others, yes, I was there.

August 12th, I think.

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. National Coney Island Spinach Pie.

:hi:

[benny05]

37. Hey, sounds like you are celebratin' Mrs.G!

How do you make that? :toast:

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. You go to the neighborhood National Coney Island and order it!

:D

Or...I make it like this:

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds spinach, rinsed and chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
8 sheets phyllo dough
1/4 cup olive oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green onions and garlic, until soft and lightly browned. Stir in spinach and parsley, and continue to saute until spinach is limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, and feta. Stir in spinach mixture. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough in prepared baking pan, and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top, brush with olive oil, and repeat process with two more sheets of phyllo. The sheets will overlap the pan. Spread spinach and cheese mixture into pan and fold overhanging dough over filling. Brush with oil, then layer remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with oil. Tuck overhanging dough into pan to seal filling.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. Cut into squares and serve while hot.

42. Beans, cornbread & fried taters with

sliced tomatoes & chow chow on the side.

[benny05]

43. Sounds like my mama's cooking!

And chow chow too! Cool!

[Nicole]

45. I picked up some of granny's cooking habits

I love chow chow. Lots of green tomatoes right now so I made a few batches of it last week. :9

[benny05]

47. Do you also have Fried Green Tomatoes occasionally?

Haven't had them in a long time, but like them, especially with some Ranch Dressing on the side.

[Nicole]

48. Of course! Just last week I had them

I like them with Ranch Dressing too. Yummy stuff.

[OnionPatch]

49. Hamburgers, oven fries

and here's where the Hee Haw moment comes in: Corn and sliced tomatoes from the garden. MMmmmmm-Mmmmm, Junior!

[astral]

50. Leftover white rice and some. . .

steamed/boiled sliced yellow beans, chopped dandelion greens, chopped onions. All in one pot; rice in the other. Flavored with Emerillo's Chinese Essence and butter and soy sauce.

Oops, had halvah for dessert.

Oops, was still hungry, had rice crackers with shredded cheese on top as a after-dessert-snack.

[benny05]

52. Halvah for dessert?

Impressive! Hope it was still enjoyable!
