Pizza for lunch And IDK what I am making for dinner! |
Today has been a chocolate day. Why, oh, why, can't I just have a little bit of chocolate?? It started midmorning with some grasshopper cookies (like girl scout thin mints) with a glass of milk. That set the ball rolling.... Then I had some chocolate covered strawberries this afternoon. Then a cadbury's caramello mini bar just now. |

I usually go over to Mum & Dad's for Sunday dinner and mum does the works, roast beef or lamb, yorkshire puds, roast tators, and of course Bisto gravy. But today we met for breakfast at a local diner as she's not doing dinner today. What's 'our' gravy? Mum does bisto powder, bit of corn starch, and juice from the meat, and adds water. It looks so simple, tastes so good...and I can never duplicate it.:confused: At my house, I just use bisto granules. |
1/2 a bag of wise potato chips and a hand full of M & M's. |

I use the 'Bisto Best', plus the juices from the meat, plus an oxo cube, plus a teaspoon of mint sauce...and then I drink what's left because it's so scrummy!!!! :D |

No, it does not :p Do you mean brown gravy or meat gravy as opposed to white or milk gravy? Excuse me, that is the difference between a SOUTHERNER and a NORTHERNER! :D haha - my MIL makes gravy using Bisto and lots of water! But I just use meat juice, flour, butter and wine. Sometimes, I use milk or cream and always lots of salt and pepper. The only difference I can tell between Northern or UK gravy and Southern or US gravy is the consistency. UK gravy is very thin and Southern gravy is good ole' stick to your ribs (and floor, and ceiling and everything else) deliciousness!!!!!! Probably a matter of preference - I have brought a lot of UKers around to US gravy. I still like MIL's though on Christmas Turkey w/bread pudding. Yum. |

You see, my gravy is dark, but not thick or thin, sort of inbetween...and meaty. The creamy/milky one - is that like I'd make for a Carbonara? Is that more like a sauce? Good Lord, whoever would have thought there were so many different kinds of gravies....:rolleyes: :D xx |

Um, labels are annoying. Here's an idea - you come over and cook for me and I'll return the favor. We'll worry what the gravy is "called" afterwards or not at all! Yeah! |

Sally, stop it!!! I can't even read your posts anymore your making me want to eat those wonderful, delicious, sounding meals you keep eating! I just don't have the motivation to put in that much effort anymore to cook like that and it stinks. Now I'll get back to my horrible green smoothie I'm drinking. (sigh) I feel like I'm being punished eating (drinking) this while your dancing around your never ending thanksgiving dinners. :( |

Cornish cream tea - anyone?!!!!? :D :p :hide2: xxx |
:DAnd now the Canucks come into the gravy discussion. With Roasts I always make pan gravy. Use the drippings from the pan and make it right in the roasting pan while the meat rests. Flour is browned and cooked for about 3-4 minutes - slowly add the vegetable water - stirring all da time. Add right amount of Dijon mustard s+P to flour roux, worchestshire sauce, (sometimes I add fresh garlic) and the consistency is not thin nor thick - somewhere inbetween. I also add in the meat juices from the resting roast. Anyhoo I agree Harry's Mum needs to come over and cook for us:D Lunch today 1/2 subway sandwhich - Montreal Smoked Meat - Yums! |
Tuna salad including chunks of pear, chopped onion and pickle, raisins, chilled steamed corn, Hellman's mayonnaise, salt and pepper. |
Now that's a healthy meal Jeanie! Eating garden salad tonight .... boring! |
And tasty! Love tuna salad!!! |
We are going to have Lamb Shank Slow roasted, with Potatoes, and mixed veges! |
I got dinner started while I cooked breakfast :) I swear I make this breakfast more oft than not but it really is my favorite! Fried potatoes with sausage and cabbage, today it was green cabbage and always with tons and tons of garlic and onions. I have mine with tapatio, slices of raw garlic on the side and a cup of coffee, yum! The dinner I put in the oven at 200 degrees all day long was a delicious roast beef embedded with garlic, soaked in beef broth and cooked with halved yellow potatoes, onions and carrots. We had that with a spinach salad topped with purple onions, chopped tomatoes and walnuts with Bleu cheese dressing and a big delicious loaf of fresh French bread...I think im ready or that glass of red wine now! :cheers: |
Roast chicken stuffed with pork sausage meat, herbs, and loads of lemon...roast (garlicky! :D) potatoes, sautéed leeks in butter then added peas....carrots and sweetcorn + gravy....sooooo yummy!!! :D |
It's cold and dreary here so I'm wanting a bowl of chicken noodle soup. I'm making it right now, but I prefer my soup the next day, so I won't get to have any until then. :( |
Spaghetti with lamb meatballs - yums |
It is cold here, sleet and even a dusting of snow in Huntsville at intervals during this last week....cold again here on my side of town....I am making chicken and shrimp gumbo....I love gumbo when it is so cold outside! Baked sweet potato on the side...the pups LOVE the sweet potato, so I will do one for them to share while I eat.....BAD habit I have always had...feeding pups little bites along with us at mealtime. |
Feeling boring that I just ate roast beef with carrots and potatoes again, lol. Came here for inspiration! Shrimp gumbo sounds great right now, been on a meatball kick lately and baking apple sausage pies. Uninspired today though. Today I want Chinese take out. I think I will just lay here in bed and pine for that.... |
Indian Food tonight - Salmon korma, Naan, Rice, Cauliflower n carrots. Easy peasey dinner - which I hope should taste good! |
Battered fried green beans dipped in jalapeño ranch sauce....yum |
