What's for Dinner, Sun., Mother's Day, May 12, 2024

[NJCher]

Well, being a kitty mom, I did not get taken to brunch. Or Sunday dinner. And thank heavens I did not get a present, since my gifts are usually rodents.

Sliced pork roast with Polish brown gravy (pieczeniowy ciemny) and cremini mushrooms sauteed in butter.

Acorn squash, roasted, with butter and maple syrup.

Tossed green salad with cucumbers, scallions, and yellow pepper. Vinaigrette.

Kombucha: ginger lemon.

3. I had a buy one get one coupon for a new Jamacian restaurant near by.

Columbus has alot newish small restaurants & I'm lucky to get coupons.

Tonight's dinner is boneless jerk chicken, steamed cabbage with onions, carrots& green beans with some prime quality Mac & cheese.


Also, Dixie the cat did bring me milk rings so we played fetch for awhile. That is a better gift then mice

[NJCher]

10. what are milk rings?

He came through with the gift.

I'm so upset with him that I'm shutting down his kitty door. I have to figure out how to do it, though. Last time I did it, he just busted through it.

They ended up the chase in my carefully sorted out seed drawers/boxes. This was harrowing for me. Seeds are so important to me at this time of year, and organization of them was very time consuming. In the end, of course, the rodent lost.

4. My wife and I are collaborating on a turkey pot pie.

She's making the filling and I am par-baking the pre-made crust. Lol, my hard work...

5. Air fryer veggies

Brussels, onion, garlic, and carrots.
Lunch was homemade cheese burger

6. Seafood alfredo on linguine

Steamed some shell-on shrimp (the precooked is the usual around here, so that was a treat) and a small lobster tail, then put in a sorta Alfredo sauce (made like a thin cream sauce with half seafood stock - yesterday's homemade - and a mix of heavy cream and whole milk, with some Parmesan thrown in.

Also sourdough rolls, and a salad with some homegrown spinach, local lettuce and radish, and a bit of supermarket vegetables.

To drink, an Alsatian wine that's 80% Silvaner and 20% Pinot Blanc. Silvaner is one of the main wine grapes where I lived in Germany, so that was also a treat.

7. Ham, turkey, cheese sandwich with potato chips and

garlic dip. We been working on an addition to the garden and planted 8 rolls of popcorn today.

Good Evening

[NJCher]

9. 8 rolls of popcorn today.

I'm impressed!!

How do you take the popcorn off the cob?

[Emile]

11. First time we ever grown it. I watched this

YouTube video last winter and thought I should try growing popcorn and make this tool from a scrap piece of 2x4. We took yellow store bought popcorn and placed some between two wet pieces of paper towels. Couple days later they were all sprouting. So the seed was dirt cheap compared to what you spend for high quality sweet corn seed. Anyways here is the video,

12. popcorn

Interesting about the seed. You can do that with peas from the grocery store, too, and also with beans.
I"m not sure understand how his tool works. I'll watch it a 2nd tme.

13. This one I could make and looks easier to hull by using electric drill.
