Tonight I'm making chicken stew and instead of dumplings (my daughter hates them) I'm making two kinds of biscuits to go with it.. cheddar, garlic and basil and dill and black pepper... I'm looking forward to leftovers for my lunch tomorrow! |

| |  Leftovers
We had simple turkey club sandwiches tonight with some of the leftover turkey from the other day. I am busy sewing six Drs. lab coats for the local childrens museum for their role playing room....the kids get to put on little plays and the middle sons girlfriend works there and always manages to "volunteer" me for this stuff, so dinner has to be quick until I get these done.  |

| | What's cooking in Costa Rica
I just made a banana bread. Added some grated mandarin peel. Was really great with cream cheese. You can't find banana bread here and usually the cakes are either too dry or greasy. There are a lot of bakeries I avoid.
Getting a quality yeast here is difficult for making raised breads.
Also made some tamarindo refresco. It comes in packets of the seeds that have the dried pulp. You have to boil them to loosen the pulp from the seeds and then squeeze the pulp off and then strain the mix. Then you add sugar to taste. -a deliciously tart drink that is common in these parts.

Scrabble? I've played online for years. Long ago I played a lot with an actual game set, but now there's nobody I know who likes to play. I love the game. |

Now Maybe a game of scrabble. | Hi Oldschool1982, Am wondering what corned beef is in your part of the world, here in Great Britain corned beef refers to tins of corned beef from Brazil. I am wondering if it is home cooked beef brisket that has been marinated first and then slow cooked. I have a good raw piece of Aberdeen Angus brisket in the refrigerator waiting to be prepared so am wondering if there is something new to try? |

Definitions from country to country can be fun. here, "corned beef" generaly means a big chunk of corned silverside or brisket, you cook it slow for few hours with bay, onion, cloves, carrot, peppercorns. Serve with some form of potato and a mustard dressing, carrots, string beans, etc etc.
We're having rare seared marinated roo fillet, corn on the cob with loads of butter and pepper, salad of mixed greens with cues, tomato, green spiced olives. Plus a really big glass of wine....its been one of those days.
P.S. Did I say I don't like packing to move?
P.P.S. Something new to try with the Angus.... Seal, Cryovac it, send it to me on ice

Last night had the parents and neighbors over for what was a great dinner of smoked chicken thighs, baked mac and cheese and green beans with chocolate malts for dessert.

I love corned beef either way. The Irish cook it the way you mentioned DC.
We were at a farmers market in Perth yesterday. They're only once a month, so we make the most of a great oportunity to buy some fantastic and often unusual food. Spent a blooming fortune. Then on to the deli (we dont have one in Dundee so again, the wallet got a good airing.
Best buys were everything below Except the frozen peas.
Wild boar sausages with leeks and dried apricots
Stornaway black pudding (spicy blood sausage)
These were both breakfast this morning, with Artisan, seeded bread
Lunch was Hand made oatcakes with cheese and chilli stuffed olives. Cheeses were
Talegeo
Cashel blue
Saval (new to me, but a very good find)
Dinner was Buffalo olives ( thin buffalo steaks rolled round a mix of venison and cranberries.) Not impressed. They were browned with onions, flour added then water and seasoning. Lots of black pepper. Served with mashed potatoes, carrots, curly kale and frozen peas. The gravy was fabulous, but the olives were generally considered weird and most ended upon the dogs bowl.
I made oatmeal, walnut and raisin muffins for picking at later.
we dont stand a chance of losing weight with such gorgeous food in the house. but I just cant help myself.
Sorry you had such a bad week Petals. Here's a hug to you
