Home made sloppy Joes, here, with sweet potato fries.
My sloppy joes are easy, too. Brown/drain ground beef with some onion and green peppers. Add some catchup, a dash of yellow mustard, a tablespoon of brown sugar, a bit of water. Simmer until it thickens. Serve on buns.
I've been cooking all day...the kitchen is now closed

Nap over. Beans in. I see chili dawgs for dinner.
Take a hot dog in bun cut into 1 inch pieces place in bowl. Spoon a large serving of chili over it. Top with your preference: sour cream cheese crackers relish slaw pickles. Whatever you like![]()
Sorry got to have chili dog today.
Hiya Lurkers. Ya'll can all step back. I just spent an entire HOUR cooking dinner. Shrimp 'n Grits done my way. Shrimp recipe from Garden & Gun; make your own shrimp stock & fresh tomato puree, sauté shrimp in bacon grease & create a sauce from the stock & puree. Served over Alton Brown's savory polenta; start with sauted red onion & garlic, add chicken stock & grits, cook in the oven stirring every 10 minutes & finish with butter & grated parmesan cheese. That & a side of mixed greens (spinach, chard & bok choy), sauted in a bit of bacon grease, with garlic, red pepper flakes & finished with squeeze of fresh lemon. Finally, Shrimp 'n Grits that taste as good as it has always sounded.
Only downside is that I did grab hold of the oven-hot polenta pan handle, at the very end. It's hard to type holding a bag of ice, so you'll have to pardon the lack of bacon size & color....

Only an hour?
Shrimp and Grits is an all time favorite around here...especially in the winter. If it will quit raining sometime soon, I have boatloads of chard to go pick. Do you use a pressure cooker for your greens?

I've always thought it sounded wonderful, but every time I had tried it at a restaurant, I was disappointed. I'm quite pleased I finally got the taste I was expecting.
I don't even own a pressure cooker (yet), and the chard was actually my first time, based on your recommendation, lol! It was a "baby green" mix, so it just got a quick sauté. Is it easy to grow?
Jerry will be here any minute...
Ummm, doubt I would even tryThank you!!! It's not bad, but I've learned to just keep ice on it for a couple of hours. Typing one handed is for the birds.....
Chard is ridiculously easy to grow. It doesn't like really hot weather, so we plant some in the spring (and it's pretty much done come the August heat) and again in September. We are still picking it into late December. It sprouts fast and you can usually start picking in about 4 weeks. I rinse (and rinse, and rinse), then chuck it into one of the cookers with some melted butter, garlic and a splash of olive oil. Maybe 1/2 cup of water. When it comes up to pressure, I time it 1 minute 30 seconds, then take the pressure off. I could eat the whole pot...I just love it.
