Well, that's your problem! You aren't supposed to soak them. lol.

[WillyWump]

If your pot of grease catches on fire while deep frying something (like Okry), DONT DO THIS.

This was the most delicious melon I've ever tasted!! Plucked from the vine at the peak of it's juicy sweet ripeness. yum yum yum! Tastes nothing like store bought. Wish I could share it with you all. Looks like I will get at least 4 more and possibly even 7 more in the next few weeks.

Doing the happy melon dance.

[Jeff G]

It's looking very Georgia O'Keeffe .

[Miss Philicia]

Cantaloupe is vile, as are all melons.

[Jeff G]

I love most melon but find cantaloupe to be vile ... its smells like something rotting to me .

[WillyWump]

Oh nothin, just making some Okra Gumbo. But first some wine 



PS- granny your melons look luscious!

[Jeff G]

Im poaching eggs for dinner ... over english muffins and pepper jack cheese .

[initforlife]

Yuck on the okra gumbo.  Yum on any melon's love them all!  I'm having peanut butter crunch. lol haven't been to store since I got back from vacation..

That sounds great. Sometime around 11pm I get a hankering for an egg sandwich and ill go whole hog on it. Ill fry 2 eggs and 2 sausage patties, and then toast some english muffins and layer the eggs and sausage between pepperjack and chedder cheese, then a big helping of Pace picante sauce. sometimes ill even add bacon to it. 

PS - YUCK on peanut butter crunch, you need to get you some Froot Lopps with those little Marshmallows

[Miss Philicia]

Soppressata and sharp provolone on seeded Italian bread with sun dried tomatoes plus a greek salad.

[initforlife]

I don't like the froot loops.. tyvm. plus I believe there are enough around here already.      and that kind of egg sandwich that late at night will cause heart burn from hell.

[WillyWump]

Half way there yall! Jsut gotta add the chicken, about another hour! But im also half way through my bottle of Pinot. Kinda drunk and thinking about calling over some hustlers. Nothin better than Wednesday night Wine, Gumbo and hustlers AMIRITE

[mitch777]

You would probably prefer something like tripe I think.

This melon smells like nectar from the gods.

Yup. But 15 years ago I could do it. Granny can't take all of that fat at such an hour.

[WillyWump]

Im actually very jellz of your melons, especially after mine sprouted and promptly died.

[WillyWump]

Stop Yall are stinking up the food thread! 

[mitch777]

I made chocolate chip cookies today! 

First time in over 2 decades. Wish I had remembered pecans.

[Miss Philicia]

Miss P is currently preparing a dry aged rib eye with roasted red potatoes w/greek basil and sautéed rapine w/garlic. This will be paired with a 2010 Domaine de Marcoux Lirac Lorentine. For dessert there will be fromage blanc with fresh raspberries.

[Miss Philicia]

pix or it didn't happen:

[Jeff G]

Looks wonderful . I had roast beef and rice .

[Miss Philicia]

Sautéed rapine w/garlic is definitely my favorite vegetable dish -- you Southern girls don't eat that. One must be exposed to Yankee-Italians to know its pleasures, though due to its odd bitterness a bit of an acquired taste.

Here in Filthydelphia they even throw it on roast pork and provolone sandwiches. Divine. Much better than the infamous cheese steaks.

[Jeff G]

I knew I forgot something at the store today ... pork roast . I have been craving a pork roast slow simmered in sour kraut . I bought a huge 5 lbs of homemade Kraut the other day much to the horror of my friends . My Grandma used to make this and my aunt and Granny and I were the only ones who liked it so it was our thing to share . 

[initforlife]

Looks good Ms P  Even though I have no clue what rapine is. so will google . I had fried chicken and slaw

[Miss Philicia]

I don't make roasts until the weather cools -- heats up my apartment too much, and I refuse to use a crock pot.

init: rapini is also known as broccoli rabe, and the Chinese also use it evidently -- but it's very Italian. It's related to the turnip family, but it looks more like a mix of kale with small heads of broccoli. But it tastes like neither since it has a slight bitterness to it, which is why one usually sautés it in olive oil with minced garlic to offset that a bit. It's very easy to make.

(I never put in chicken broth and don't know know why Rachel Ray would do that)

I think I might be able to eat one quarter of that.

[Irish Eyes]

Spuds look good
But I'm stuffed.
Coffee @ 4am, chicken sandwich @ noon.
6pm now and the coffee yogurt in fridge is calling my name.

[Miss Philicia]

Hence your perpetual fatigue and caterwauling of same.

Least with all that yogurt you eat . You shouldn't have to worry about yeast . So how is Mr Irish this fine sunday night?

[Irish Eyes]

In Palm Springs.
Trimming the hedge. (that's not code, I was actually trimming my hedges).

[Irish Eyes]

Hence your perpetual fatigue and caterwauling of same.

Ehh, gym 3-4 times a week !
Run 8-10 miles on days off gym.
My fatigue is from fatigue.

[initforlife]

Great my yard needs mowed care to come do that for me next?  palm springs is far away from redneck hell. on second thought nm about the yard bit far for you to travel

[mitch777]

Hence your perpetual fatigue and caterwauling of same.

Um, no. I just can't eat that kind of volume of food in one sitting.

Today:

8 AM- One cup of decaf coffee.
8:30AM- 1 steamed egg over 1/2 english muffin w/cheese.
10:45AM- 1/2 large porkchop(leftover from last nights dinner) and a slice of a "sad and vile" melon.
1PM- tuna pasta salad.
2:30PM- snack of fruit or maybe a chocolate chip cookie.
7PM- Not sure what's for dinner yet but it won't be a huge slab of red meat.
9:30PM- Snack of yogurt, cheese and crackers, or maybe a bowl of cheerios. 

[mecch]

All yoghurt does not equal healthy.
There are plenty of yoghurts that:

have no live cultures whatsoever
are full of fat
are full of sugar

Might as well eat ice cream rather than certain yoghurts

[Miss Philicia]

Um, no. I just can't eat that kind of volume of food in one sitting.

It's all those gin & tonics filling you up! Don't forget, Granny... I've seen you in action.

That said, it's rare I can eat what I showed you on that plate but I actually ate every last bit last night. But I'd not eaten much the rest of the day in preparation for it. Usually with a large steak I eat half of it and save the rest for leftovers. But this was a VERY EXPENSIVE (don't ask) dry aged steak so I didn't think it wise to nuke half of it the next day. I only buy a dry aged steak once a year... maybe twice.

I hate gin and tonic as well. Vodka is my preference. Granny needed unwind after my lengthy drive and after the long walk the following day. 

Today's listed menu is quite typical for me. I probably eat as much or more than you do even though you are 30 pounds heavier than me. You are constantly filling up on some fancy coffee or nibbling on charcuterie and stinky cheese.

Can't say as though I blame you for eating that pricey steak in one sitting. Treats like that are to be devoured.

Just be rest assured that I eat well and that I will continue to caterwaul.

[Jeff G]

I heard that you rich folks from Connecticut actually eat the children of the poor in neighboring sates and that is why yall skinny, you just don't eat a poor child in one sitting . 

The tales we hear bout you Yankees .

[Miss Philicia]

I will continue to caterwaul.

I know you were tickled pink at my word usage there.

[wolfter]

puleeze, I've seen you eat.  You eat like an anorexic gradeschooler.

Modified to add:  why am I now faceless?

Oh, we have enough poor children here to chomp on. No need to go out of state! Got to eat or be eaten. I do worry a bit about my right-winged psycho wealthy neighbors at times licking their lips when they see me though.

I know you were tickled pink at my word usage there.

lol. I'm sure you have many other similar synonyms for that as you can caterwaul yourself at times.

This is very funny considering the source. Mr. Protein Bar.

I actually had meat last night.  I might have leftovers if I can remember his name and get in contact with him again.   

And I'll also have you all know that I now have a little belly again.  I topped the 140 mark and am not even freaking about it.  My little protein bars are doing their job.    Mitchypoo and I would actually make a great couple as we're able to share a small spinach pizza and still have enough left over to feed the poor.  lol

[mitch777]

Hmmm... a black BK burger bun with black cheese.
