• Sunday night supper

    From Dave Smith@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 13 17:29:10 2025
    There was some confusion. I was the one who went to the butcher. I
    messed up a bit. I got a nice looking Porterhouse steak for Sunday
    dinner. After getting the rest of the beef and pork I ordered some
    chicken parts and a whole chicken. It wasn't until I was half way home
    that I realized I had picked up two different things for Sunday dinner.
    Not a problem. The chicken went into the freezer and we would have steak.

    My wife was gone by the time I got home so I never had a chance to
    coordinate with her and she had forgotten her phone. She got back around
    5:30 and was happy to announce that she had picked up a couple beef
    tenderloin steaks. So..... the Porterhouse joined the chicken in the
    freezer.

    Now it looks like dinner is to be grilled tenderloin steaks, green salad
    with blue cheese dressing, broccoli and a roll.

    Is this a true story?  Really, she went out without her phone?  This is very unusual these days.


    LOL Ed. Yes. It happened. It's my fault that she got into the smart
    phone thing. She did not want one but when I upgraded mine I passed the
    old one on to her and then she discovered texting. Now she and her
    friends are constantly texting back and forth. She once made the
    mistake of getting upset when I asked her of she was texting one of her
    little friends, so now I say that every time we hear a text come in.

    Chicken pot pie and a glass of milk. I'll probably have steak and
    roasted potatoes later in the week.

    Also with a glass of milk, wild woman?

    It was Mongolian ground beef and noodles here and it
    was my first time making this. When I make it again
    I will either buy a low sodium soy sauce or cut back
    on the amount of the regular sauce and add more water.
    It was good, but quite salty.

    The chicken pot pie part sounds good. I will pass on the milk.


    Dang I am getting old. My filet was not very big but I could only manage
    about half of it. I had told my wife that I had considered getting one
    fillet and sharing it with here. She didn't like that idea and daid it
    would not be enough for her.

    I make a pretty good chicken pot pie. It's not my favorite meat pie - it
    lacks excitement. Oh well.

    That looks like what we bought at the airport the other day. You'd
    only have to remove the sauce, reduce the corn to one kernel, forget
    to add salt and undercook the dough.

    Take that corn out of it and it would probably be a lot
    better. Also, add some spice and herbs to your base.

    I don't use much herbs or spices when cooking these days. I have a big container of Italian seasonings that I can use on a pizza or spaghetti
    sauce. I don't know what's in it but it tastes about right. If I was
    making a pumpkin pie, I'd use pumpkin pie spice. If I'm making curry,
    I'll use curry powder.
    I do use a lot of flavor enhancers. Soy sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup,
    black bean sauce, sugar, curry paste etc., etc., etc.

    Is corn a lower socio-economic food in the US? In that case, Trump

    In the new world, corn will rank relatively high in the socio-economic
    food scale because foods like a big greasy bowl of possum and chitlins
    will be the new food of the American middle class.

    We have Frank's in the fridge. It's good. There's no crap in it.
    Sambal's better but very expensive here.

    Not really. Higher socio-economic groups enjoy more sophisticated preparations, just as with any other ingredient.

    Yes, kale chips or infused carrot elixir.

    President Trump is like Winston Churchill in the 1930's...

    Winston Churchill was trying to convince his fellow Brits that there
    might be "trouble brewing"...

    Winston Churchill was trying to convince the Brit elites that their

    As it goes, spicy chicken pot pie sounds a little odd. A curry flavored
    chicken pie could be pretty good. I can't say if I'll ever make another
    chicken pot pie in this world. Maybe in heaven - or hell.

    We are keeping it fairly simple tonight. I am precooking a rack of back
    ribs and will crank up the heat and slather them with sauce. There is a
    salad and go asparagus to go with it. Dessert will be a buttertart and
    some fruit.

    Road Trip !!!! Good for you.

    2276 miles. 39 hours, about 60 gallons of gas. That is both ways, plus
    what I did while there. I've made that trip enough that I don't care
    what is along the way anymore, just want to get to the destination.

    For a holiday weekend, many trucks on the road. Yesterday, heading
    south, many miles in Virginia were heavy and very slow.

    Very simple here; I made Tex-Mex tacos.

    my wife roasted a pre-seasoned pork tenderloin, made instant
    potatoes, warmed up a can of green beans, and made gravy from
    packet while i was outside finishing up the yard work. washed it
    down with a Victoria beer. something simple for a busy day.

    oh. lol. subject says sunday. the tenderloin was yesterday,
    monday. sunday i pigged out at a food tasting at my daughters
    wedding venue by trying every single thing on the caterers menu.
    some of it was really gross. :/

    washed that down with some Dos Equis when i got home.

    We are keeping it fairly simple tonight. I am precooking a rack of back
    ribs and will crank up the heat and slather them with sauce. There is a
    salad and go asparagus to go with it. Dessert will be a buttertart and
    some fruit.

    Last night we had beef curry - wonderful stuff.

    Congratulations to your daughter on her upcoming wedding.

    thanks! she's going on 41 years old. second marriage. she's
    marrying her high school sweetheart. i loved having him around
    when he was teen. now, he's an even better man. he treats her
    like a princess. his first marriage ended in disaster.

    her first was a disaster too. she stuck with that mentally abusive
    deadbeat dumbass way too long as his sugar mama. now he's living
    at home leeching off his parents and sucking what's left of his
    pathetic life out of crack pipe. the guy is literaly a 39 year
    old child totally incapable of supporting himself. he's a drain
    on those around him and a drain on society. he'd be doing us all
    a favor if he, umm, i'll say ceased to exist.

    I'd like to hear some examples of the really gross samplings on the
    caterer's menu. ;)

    the ribs were rubbery, fell off the bone, and a bit slimy
    making the rubbery worse. there were four different sauces
    sitting in front them, that may have helped. in my opinion good
    ribs should be well seasoned enough when cooked they don't need
    sauce at the plate. i didn't use sauce. they were gross.

    the brisket was cooked somewhat well as it was tender, but dry,
    and the only seasoning it had was salt. if they had let it sit for
    a couple weeks it was salty enough to have cured it into corned
    beef. the flavor of the meat got lost in the salt. so more
    inedible than gross.

    the prime rib, or so they called it, was spot on. pink in the
    middle, juicy, and unlike the ribs and brisket it had a lovely
    seasoning. problem was, i don't think what they called prime rib
    was prime rib. prime rib has some fat. this was lean. like round
    roast lean. so ok, but not gross.

    the roasted brussels sprouts were mushy. the cheesy smashed
    potatoes were creamy, not cheesy. that's gross.

    at $27 / plate per person i for two proteins and up to 5 sides,
    for the reception i suppose not much better can be expected. the
    various chicken recipes were satisfactory as well as the "prime
    rib" mentioned above, and that's what they had chosen even before
    the tasting. they nixed the brussels sprouts and went with
    something else.

    My sister-in-law married a guy that she picked up on the side of the
    road. They got married after a couple of weeks. It was quite an
    uncomfortable time when we stayed at their place back in the 70's. There
    was fighting and physical abuse. He was prone to giving me goofy advice
    on automobile repair, which I promptly ignored. He was quite shook-up
    when his best buddy was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered, by drug
    dealers. He was into some really bad things - he was your typical bad
    news kind of guy.

    50 years later, my sister-in-law and husband have built a life for
    themselves. They have a homestead with goats and chickens and even raise
    bees. They have a lot of grand kids that adore them and have raised a
    large number of kids as foster parents. My sister-in-law and her husband
    were made to raise kids. When my wife's sister comes over, she brings me
    a batch of fudge that her husband made. If you ask me, their story is an amazing, unlikely, one - and the fudge is pretty good too.

    Bruce seems to have something against asparagus in general, as well as

    does is disparage any mention of food on a cooking ng. I do think
    vegetables kept warm on a steam table over sterno would probably be nasty.

    His cooking is pretty well limited to trying to roast anyone else who

    Damn, you're kind of clueless. This happened in the SF Bay Area. My sister-in-law has been described as having an extremely sheltered life
    in a book. Her aunt said that she had never had an ice cream cone. Her
    aunt found that to be disturbing.

    Things got a little wild once she hit San Francisco. She would pick up
    strange men on the road. Well, it happened at least once. She would race
    her brothers on the freeways and shoulders of Californa. She had a hot
    rod Camaro was the story that I got. Her brother won races/trophies in
    that car. Da Hawaiians may be loose but they ain't into street racing
    nor do we pick up strange men on the side of the road.

    IMHO properly steamed fresh local asparagus is pretty close to vegetable perfection. Top it with some butter and a little bit of salt and it is perfection on a plate. If it is less than prime asparagus you can grill
    it or chop it up and stir fry it with some garlic and a bit of dried
    chili flakes. You can 1oss it with some pasta.

    I cannot figure out why your Royal Majesty has not banned Bruce.

    You constantly bitch about him, for doing exactly what he always does.

    You have the power, but you are somehow titillated with his provocations.

    Your Majesty NEEDS Master bruce. He satisfies a deep seated need your

    I cannot figure out why your Royal Majesty has not banned Bruce.

    You constantly bitch about him, for doing exactly what he always does.

    You have the power, but you are somehow titillated with his provocations.

    Your Majesty NEEDS Master bruce. He satisfies a deep seated need your >Highness craves.

    If that was true, The Biddy wouldn't have had me killfiled for years
    already.

    It's perfectly understandable that you don't care for steamed asparagus
    - for one thing, it has asparagus in it. I like asparagus most any way -
    even canned.


    IMHO properly steamed fresh local asparagus is pretty close to vegetable perfection. Top it with some butter and a little bit of salt and it is perfection on a plate. If it is less than prime asparagus you can grill
    it or chop it up and stir fry it with some garlic and a bit of dried
    chili flakes. You can 1oss it with some pasta.

    I've been into broccoli of late. Tonight's dinner was broccoli, salmon,
    and cheese wontons. The salmon was $9.99/lb. The skin was cooked crispy
    and the other side was seasoned with furikake.

    I'm sure you can make it taste good by adding things to it. But if you

    Asparagus is one of those things that can taste good any way you cook
    it. I'm not really a sauce person; don't need a sauce to make asparagus
    taste good. My only objection to asparagus is the canned/jarred stuff.
    It's way overcooked. One of my brothers thought he hated asparagus
    until he tasted fresh. I was the same way with small green peas. I
    absolutely hated them until I tasted fresh. And yes, they were probably steamed. Simply seasoned with S&P and maybe a little butter.

    Donald Trump fires National Portrait Gallery director for being ‘strong supporter’ of DEI

    https://nypost.com/2025/05/30/us-news/donald-trump-fires-national-portrait-gallery-director/

    "President Donald Trump fired the director of the National Portrait
    Gallery, Kim Sajet, for being a “strong supporter” of diversity, equity
    and inclusion (DEI)...

    Trump announced the termination in a post on Truth Social on Friday afternoon...

    “Upon the request and recommendation of many people, I am hereby
    terminating the employment of Kim Sajet as Director of the National
    Portrait Gallery,” the president wrote. “She is a highly partisan
    person, and a strong supporter of DEI, which is totally inappropriate
    for her position. Her replacement will be named shortly. Thank you for
    your attention to this matter!”...

    A White House official told Fox News Digital that Sajet had donated
    $3,982 to Democrats, including presidential campaigns for former
    President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Sajet also reportedly donated
    to other Democrats, including former Vice President Kamala Harris...

    The White House also pointed to the gallery’s photo of Trump, which was curated by Sajet. The caption of the photo reads, “Impeached twice, on charges of abuse of power and incitement of insurrection after
    supporters attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, he was acquitted
    by the Senate in both trials. After losing to Joe Biden in 2020, Trump
    mounted a historic comeback in the 2024 election. He is the only
    president aside from Grover Cleveland (1837-1908) to have won a
    nonconsecutive second term.”...

    Earlier this month, Trump fired Shira Perlmutter, who was in charge of
    the U.S. Copyright Office, which came just days after terminating the
    Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden. The termination was part of the administration’s ongoing purge of government officials who are perceived
    to be opposed to Trump and his agenda...

    Both women were notified of their termination by email, The Associated
    Press previously reported..."

    I spatchcocked a chicken and smeared it with a mixture of (medium) peri

    BBQ now and will be accompanied with steamed green beans and grilled
    corn. I plane to have the corn with chili powder and lime juice. There
    are some fresh strawberries for dessert.

    BBQ now and will be accompanied with steamed green beans and grilled
    corn. I plane to have the corn with chili powder and lime juice.  There
    are some fresh strawberries for dessert.

    I'll be pan frying a lightly breaded cod loin and will steam (in the
    microwave) sliced yellow squash to go with it. It's 95°F (35°C)
    outside; far too hot to think about grilling. Grilled corn on the cob
    does sound good, though. :)

    It's going to be soup here. I've got errands to run Monday
    so I'll eat out and most likely take a break from the soup.
