What's Cookin, Good Lookin? [More:]Had meself some Lamb stew and quinoa (it's good! Who knew?) for dinner. The red bean buns for dessert are steaming away as I type. Washing it down with a delicious (and cheap!) bottle of Yuengling.
What's for dinner at your house?
Not much- I'm sending out for Indian! Yum!!! I can't spell it or I'd tell you what I'm having. I think it's Prawn biryani and Kabuli nan. Something like that. I am having a Firefly marathon in front of the fireplace.

I cooked today! It was big haps. A hearty beef stew and whole wheat rolls. The kid and I made a pumpkin pie for dessert. Washed it down with some Hoegaarden beer (a massive splurge for us).

I have never had a red bean bun. What do they taste like?

You know, I forgot to eat dinner!

Oh well. It was a weird day. I started cooking yesterday afternoon- lasagna and chili and pinto beans- for a mission thingy our youth group did. We served about 200 people today at Church Under the Bridge in Waco, Texas. It was a good change of pace from my normal church in comfy suburbia. The message was from the heart; it gave me a lot to think about. The subject was suffering- and I could see people all around me that truly knew what suffering was about. Made me feel kinda overpriviledged.

steamed red bean buns have that chinese steamed dough on the outside and have a sweet, smooth, red bean based filling in the middle. I wish I could say cooked em, but I just bought them for $3.50 for a dozen.

Doohickie: it's people like you that make people like me feel like jerks! /joking

mmmm..red beans...I'll have to keep an eye out for such things.

Doohickie, the Church Under the Bridge looks really, really cool. Kudos for heeding the call to help!

I made some soup: Mushroom barley with miso. It was yummy.

I had chicken pot pie and cornbread. And then a scone, left over from the ones I made at lunchtime.

(I am now 17 lb heavier than I was this morning)

I had a large chilli from Wendy's.

Then I jogged. Now I have "ketosis mouth" and brushing my teeth and scraping my tongue only helped for a little while. Usually the taste is not too bad but it is horrible at the moment. Diet root beer is only sorta helping.

Yesterday's leftover pasta, sauce made with italian sausage & mixed peppers from the garden & sweet onions & garlic & mushrooms & diced tomatos & basil & oregano. It worked out nicely.

Oh, since I shared my funny mouth taste, I will share something else. If you are trying to lose weight it is good to stay away from any diet drinks that have citric acid in them as they tend to kick a lot of people out of ketosis. Diet A&W Root Beer and Diet Dr Pepper are both free of it, but most others have it. Yes.

My wife made homemade enchiladas (chicken and beef) and they were awe-inspiring. Every now and then when I start to think I own the kitchen she takes an afternoon to put me in my place.

I generally don't eat dinner because of a stomach condition, but I had HOME MADE SAUSAGE for breakfast this morning. Yesterday my sis and I made over 8 lbs of deeeelish spicy sausage.

Based on
IOWA FARM SAUSAGE
From Bruce Aidells’ Complete Sausage Book

To 1# meat mixture (60% pork, 40% bacon)
1 tsp fresh basil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
3 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
3 tsp finely chopped onion 1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp minced garlic
3/4 tsp ground dried wild sage
4 tsp water
1/2 tsp ground dried cooking sage
1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme

Grind the meat and fat together through a 1/8 or 1/4 inch plate. In a large bowl, mix the ground meat and fat with the parsley, onion, salt, sage, thyme, basil, red pepper, black pepper, ginger, garlic and water. Knead and squeeze the mixture until everything is well blended. This fresh sausage will keep in the refrigerator for three days or in the freezer for 2 months.

This recipe is the result of fine tuning this query to AskMe

I'm posting it here in the hopes that somebody has a contact for jadepearl

Next week we will be squeezing about 20 gallons of cider. It's winter! Let's eat!

Real sorry and all, but yesterday I had rabbit for dinner.

A can of beef and barley soup and a chunk of the coconut bread (like zucchini bread, but coconut) that I cannot stop eating despite the fact that I know there is most of a coconut and a full cup of oil in there.
