On my way Becky.. I really am not a lobster fan, but I do enjoy a lobster roll or salad once in awhile. We are having Costco roast chicken. Mom made herself a tomatoe, lettuce and cheese Sammy.. I caught her eating it when we got home from the river.. we had to mow and she stayed home. ( luckily she can still be home a few hours by herself)

Sigh, I didn’t take anything out of the freezer today. I was hoping to go out to dinner but the workmen building our new closet are still here (6:15 pm). It’s also raining buckets ⛈💦 but it’s 86 degrees, so at least it’s not cold.

Maybe cereal and toast with fresh strawberries 🍓 and cherries 🍒 or a grilled ham and cheese sandwich.
How healthy! Now, if the Mexican hubby will go along with that! (I can’t complain, he does a lot of the cooking.)

Ive GOT to get the app for Uber Eats 😋.

SendHelp, I missed the dinner bell at your place 😛, but those stuffed peppers sound awesome as well as eye-catching. My mom didn’t make them often but when she did, they were a treat.
My husband has gotten it into his head that he hates stuffed peppers, so I haven’t made them.
I used to date a chef. He said that presentation was everything. I would love to cook some pretty dishes, but paella is the only thing that doesn’t look like everything else I cook. 🙃

Becky,

I live in New Orleans and we have fabulous seafood here as well! I do eat meat and poultry but I adore seafood. I love to cook also. Mom and grandma were fabulous cooks.

Cooking is therapy for me. It’s also very satisfying to be able to know that we are able to prepare and serve a delicious meal.

My grandfather had a lovely garden. My dad loved to garden as well. I buy produce but I would love to try my hand at gardening. I’m slightly intimidated by it. Any tips?

NHWM, I love to cook. I’m fortunate to live near the coast and fresh seafood always available. I have a big garden. I’ve traveled a lot this summer and I have a bunch of stuff to harvest.

Becky,

Invite me over for dinner, please! I would eat at your house anytime. Sounds so yummy. I love seafood. Love veggies too. Who doesn’t love pie? You’re a great cook.

Monica,

That sounds yummy! I love garbage pizza! You are a very creative cook. Love it.

My brother would love your pizza. Pizza is so easy for casual meals for just us or if others are visiting. He loves tons of meat on it. I mostly eat pizza with all veggies. So we do both kinds.

I do pretty much the same when I am running low on groceries and can’t get to the store. It’s true, they end up being great meals!

I have a friend who told her daughter that all you need to be a cook is great recipes. I told her that while that is true, I felt the mark of a great cook is good ingredients and being able to make a meal without a recipe! She laughed and said that she was never able to do that and that I was always a better cook than she is.

I told her that while I appreciate following a recipe that I would find that boring to do all the time. The fun part of cooking is the creative part. I’d love to hang out with you in the kitchen! You cook like I do! Great minds think alike, right?

I make what my husband calls "Trash Pizza." I keep large Flatbread in the freezer and a ball of mozzarella cheese in the fridge for when it is time to make this. I use every kind of leftover meat....and often several kinds on one pizza! Bacon, turkey bacon, chicken, pork, steak...whatever is leftover. I have never once had a bad Trash Pizza! I brush olive oil, crushed basil and crushed garlic on the flatbread. Top with the cheese, which I chop up. Then the trash goes on top, along with diced red peppers and onions. It is a great way to use leftover meat from dinner or breakfast!

That sounds really delicious; I love eggplant though I’m usually too lazy to fry it in batches. I bought some zucchini noodles today, just to try them. I sautéed them in olive oil and garlic and they were pretty tasty.

When my husband wakes up we’ll have leftover chicken sorta-cacciatore with rice. I cooked chicken breasts in fresh plum tomatoes, shallots, garlic, mushrooms and peppers.

Pam, Lobster is usually steamed and served with steamed clams and mussels corn on the cob. Easier to buy at local lobster pound and eat at a picnic table. Lot of people do traditional lobster/clam bake with potatoes and corn on the beach. There are companies that do them if one doesn’t have storefront property. Or you can do your own in boiling water at home or have them boiled at the grocery store. We usually go to a pound. Fun outing and relatively inexpensive if it’s not tourist season.

Pammzi,
You said:
"Ok,when Becky says NE boiled dinner, I think clams and lobster and potatoes and corn.. when Send says it with SPD I think corned beef and cabbage! ".

For sure, when I think of you I will be thinking clams and lobster and potatoes and corn.

Smeshque:
Thank you for the recipe for Tamale Pie-I think that is the one!

New England boiled dinner is pot roast, carrots, potatoes, onion. I usually throw in a stalk of celery and a chunk of cabbage for more flavor, salt and pepper. I get a sirloin tip roast.

Corned beef and and cabbage is usually St Patrick’s Day; sometimes Saturday night supper.

Sendhelp thinks:

New England boiled dinner is a one pot dish consisting of corned beef or plain beef brisket or smoked picnic ham shoulder, with cabbage, carrots and potatoes. When made with corned beef, it's an Irish-American corned beef and cabbage dish, traditionally made around St. Patrick's Day.

Ok,when Becky says NE boiled dinner, I think clams and lobster and potatoes and corn.. when Send says it with SPD I think corned beef and cabbage! Help a MD girl out here! Hubs did make bread pudding with fresh peaches today... and I think he is making tuna casserole, because mom saw an article that said it was Ophras favorite food.. and then I got hungry for it. Funny story.. mom never made anything with canned tuna, I never had tuna fish sammies until I went to prep school.. I thought it was Gods gift to ME !! I love that stuff with lettuce and tomatoe
