What are you cooking?

A meat CAKE?

Ewww!

 

[jaylach]

Ya know @jaylach, I've never made pancakes. My mom used to make yummy waffles before her dementia got too bad. I've read of bacon in both but I prefer my sweet & savory foods separate. I know you don't, you should try it!

We're having hard shell tacos with both ground beef & black beans, etc. with playoff football.

Thought that I replied but found that I didn't.

I DO, often like a mix of sweet and savory Asian food, in my opinion, does this often. Never have done but remove the sweet from sweet and sour and you probably have savory.

As to breakfast stuff I even dip bacon and/or breakfast sausage in the syrup that goes on the pancakes. I also like to stack pancakes with a runny yolk egg between layers. Add the bacon to the pancakes and it seems it would pretty much be a breakfast sandwich with the pancakes as the bread.

I could give you the sausage with syrup...almost too sweet for me...but the egg, eww! That crosses a line, lol.

We're having mashed potato soup with lots of carrot & grilled cheddar cheese sandwiches on rye bread.

Thank goodness hockey is over for tonight! Not my sport, I try hard not to make rude noises & just ignore it. I'd really prefer not to have it on...but I'm the good spouse, part of the compromises.

Just as, with a burger, a runny egg is also served on pancakes in restaurants. Both are more popular than one may think.

 

[fishorama]

Eww! No runny egg on anything for me, popular or not. Eggs over medium (no runny whites but soft yolks) are perfect with wheat toast to dip in. We'll just have to disagree on this issue.

 

[jaylach]

LOL! When I say runny egg I mean a runny yolk, not the whites. That is why I like my eggs basted in butter in a covered pan as the whites set but the yolk stays runny.

 

[gimme30]

Gotta admit I like 'em runny too. Especially over a plate of hash browns.

I've got to stop looking at this thread. Makes me hungry.

 

[jaylach]

Yes, hash browns are not hash brows without an egg on top.

 

[jaylach]

Bacon cheeseburger tonight with cheddar and a runny egg with rosemary tater wedges and baked beans. Have some onion already chopped that will, also, probably go on the burger but not yet sure if raw onion or sauteed with shrooms.

If you have never done a runny yolk egg on a burger try it some time as it is REALLY good regardless of how weird it sounds.

Deep dish pizza with green olives & red pepper tonight. No egg or pineapple

Deep dish pizza with green olives & red pepper tonight. No egg or pineapple

Never cared for deep dish or thin crust. I'm hard core hand tossed. Sort of odd in that I don't care for deep dish as I love French Bread Pizza. Never did a pizza with green olives. Just not a big fan of the green ones yet black olives are a necessity.

Having one of those undecided days as to what dinner will be. I have a bone-in pork chop thawed that I don't know what I want to do with. I also have flour tortillas, eggs, bacon and/or breakfast sausage along with taters to make a big breakfast burrito. I guess it will be one of those days that I will decide when ready to eat. Mayhaps even sausage and country gravy if I had any biscuits.

It is sort of funny at times. I have a chest freezer full of different meats and several frozen veggies and more frozen veggies in the freezer on my fridge yet often have no idea as to what I want to eat.

Sigh, just took a boneless chicken breast out of my chest freezer to make Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken and broccoli. Actually I don't currently have Fettuccine but the Linguini I have would work; thinner but basically the same 'flat' pasta.

All this makes for a bit of a pain when deciding what to eat but still nice to usually have many options.

 

[fishorama]

Ha! I was thinking about chicken Alfredo for tonight too. I don't care much about pasta shape, nothing too thick, but even egg noodles in a pinch. I wish I had some frozen spinach to throw in sometimes. Husband is a bit iffy on broccoli in some things. As a side or in stir fry, yes...he's come a long way, lol, a reformed broccoli hater.

Broccoli is one of my go to veggies. LOL! I have also used egg noodles instead of traditional pasta. I have even used mashed potatoes as a base After all they are all starch you put a sauce on. For instance I like my chili over a backed tater or mashed. Yet I have no issue with doing chili over pasta or egg noodles.

Cincinnati chili has become a fairly big thing where chili is over pasta. I've done that for more years than I can remember. I just don't restrict myself to what is considered normal. Haven't done yet but I'd bet dollars to donuts that chili over cheese ravioli would be really good.

One of my favorite comfort foods is a cubed ham steak cooked down with baked beans and tossed with egg noodles.

It is like I LOVE scalloped taters but have to go further. I'll do as an oven baked casserole with ham steak slices as a sort of crust.

 

[fishorama]

It'll be green beans on the side...& rotini or fusilli, 1 of those spiral pastas. I ran out of steam for a leaf salad, maybe tomorrow during football? With leftover pizza; I can't do heavy tomato food without a day off (allergies).

I don't know why frozen spinach is harder to find now...at least where husband shops. I not sorry he's taken over a lot of that. He goes to different stores than I do. Teamwork! He helps with some prep like deep dish pizza. crust & cheese slicing, some chopping etc.

I do au gratin potatoes with ham these days. I liked scalloped potatoes & ham, but cheese makes it so much better!!! I get a half ham 2x/year when it's cheap. Slice it up & freeze until the next sale. I think I've got the calendar figured out!

 

[jaylach]

No issue with getting spinach here but I don't look for frozen. Just looked at my local grocery on-line and there are just about any form you would want.
