Tuesday Night Dinner Plans? 12/17/2024

[ItsJoanNotJoAnn]

What will you be sinking your teeth into this Tuesday
evening? Home cooking, take out, or sitting down for
a meal in a restaurant?

This evenings meal will be country fried steak with
gravy made from the pan drippings. They'll get about
an hour simmer in the gravy after browning to make them
fork tender. Macaroni and cheese will be the side dish,
but I will also microwave some frozen broccoli to stir
into the mac & cheese.

I'm just getting settled after getting home from work. I had to greet
Cleo the kitten when I got home. She's a hoot. :)

So far the only plan I have for dinner is to make a grilled cheese
sandwich on sourdough bread. I'll use a slice each of medium cheddar
and Swiss. Oh, and I'll have a glass of milk.

I've got cubed steaks in the freezer; I use those for making country
fried steak. I need to make that again soon. I've never stirred
broccoli into mac & cheese. I know it's a thing, just not something
I've ever done. Enjoy your dinner!

Yet somehow your cold bullying heart just keep right on spreading the

If you're going to have broccoli with a cheese sauce, might
as well let your carb and its' sauce do double duty. It's
a great way to get a green vegetable into a picky eater kid,
plus most children love mac & cheese. I thought I'd go this
route instead of my carb being mashed potatoes again. Also,
one less pan to wash!! This will be a breadless meal, too.

The thing is, I never really cared for broccoli topped with cheese
sauce. I like the taste of broccoli. :) Mac & cheese and broccoli
separately, as side dishes, work for me.

Having said that, I do like baked broccoli, rice & cheese casserole. :)

Yuppers! It may be the funny florets he doesn't like? I don't

Tonight we finsh off the bean soup so will start the chicken soup/stew
tommorrow (thick so could call it either one). Charlotte gets here the
evening of the 21st so want to have something tasty and fast ready for
her.

Alright, he's got odd tastes. I'd rather eat the florets than the stems
and leaves, although when I make broccoli soup I do use the stems, diced.

I like navy bean soup. My dad used to make it using ham hocks (not
smoked hocks). If no ham hocks were available, he used fried sliced salt
pork. I haven't looked for either of those meats lately but I do have a
bag of dried navy beans in the pantry.

Everybody's different. I love the stems. Kohlrabi is like a bulbous
broccoli stem.

For the shrooms I re - hydrate dried shitakes, they are flavorful, and a

I imagine it could be good. Spinach goes well with a lot of things. IMO
it just sort of sucks on its own. We use it a lot in scrambled eggs
with hot sauce and in chick pea curry. It's great in Spanokopita. It
also makes a great dip with mayo, sour cream and vegetable soup mix.

I love spinach. It's great added to an omelet cooked with crumbled
bacon and brie. I use it in the spinach & feta quiche I make. Of
course it has to be completely thawed and drained well. I use a
collapsible vegetable steamer for that to press out the excess water.
It's also great in that dish I make with ground lamb sauteed with onion
& garlic, crumbled feta; stir in some well drained spinach and add
grated lemon zest. I never thought about adding it to mac & cheese before.

I rarely buy fresh spinach. Too much of a PITA to wash all the sand out
(similar to collards or turnip greens) and yes, the leaves cook down to
nothing. Fresh spinach is nice when added to a pan of cloves of garlic
browned in olive oil and add the spinach leaves and quickly wilt them.

I've mentioned deep fried spinach leaves, too. That was at a restaurant
and was supposed to be the garnish/bed of greens on which a broiled
chicken breast half was served. The spinach leaves were added to a deep
fryer and cooked for a few seconds until they floated to the top. Then
put on the plate. The fried spinach tasted better than the chicken.

Yes, it's great in scrambled eggs plus very yummy in

up at either. But admit I'd not heard of it in mac &

Here's a Sixties dish. Canned spinach, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper.
I ate quite a bit of it then. None since.
Is canned spinach still available? I suppose I could look it up, but no.

Yup! It is. Limited uses, like cream of spinach soup.

Sheldon called me a liar for saying that canned spinach was no available
around here. I had not noticed it but that could have been because the
only canned vegetables I ever look for are corn and various beans, and
the latter are in a different area. I made a point of checking. I still
look once in a while out of curiosity. I have not seen canned spinach.

I never much liked the stuff. It didn't help matters that one day when I
was maybe 7 or 8 were went with father and a friend of his to visit his
son at university. We went to the cafeteria for lunch and the meal of
the day was egg Flourentine. It was poached eggs on toast with a huge
glob of mushy spinach on top. I think that really did it for me with
spinach. Many years later I discovered that spinach is good with
scrambled eggs and hot sauce and have since had eggs Benny Florentine
several times and it has been great. It likely makes a big difference
that the spinach is just lightly blanched.

I imagine it could be good. Spinach goes well with a lot of
things. IMO it just sort of sucks on its own. We use it a lot in
scrambled eggs with hot sauce and in chick pea curry. It's great
in Spanokopita. It also makes a great dip with mayo, sour cream
and vegetable soup mix.

Here's a Sixties dish. Canned spinach, vinegar, oil, salt and
pepper. I ate quite a bit of it then. None since.
Is canned spinach still available? I suppose I could look it up, but no.

Sheldon called me a liar for saying that canned spinach was no
available around here. I had not noticed it but that could have been
because the only canned vegetables I ever look for are corn and
various beans, and the latter are in a different area. I made a point
of checking. I still look once in a while out of curiosity. I have
not seen canned spinach.

Markets vary. https://postimg.cc/473rJ82C
Margret Holmes brand, sold locally and on by can rack.

Bought it to try out an experiment cream of spinach. I also keep one
as storm supplies. I like it cold with salt anyways. I know, most
don't like it. I can't think of any use for it other than for a cream
soup.

I don't disagree that markets vary. The thing was that he refused to

LOL you should have bought some real grits when you were in Georgia on
that kayaking trip a few years ago and taken them home with you. ;)

I'd offer to send you some but I had a really odd experience decades ago
sending grits to a woman in Australia who wanted to try them. They
wound up in quarantine and she would have had to pay $40 to retrieve
that $2 box of grits. I don't blame her for not picking them up.

It's basically ground corn. If you can buy polenta, you've got grits. :)

I finally for my wife to stop mailing chocolate letters to her nieces
and nephews at Christmas. It's a Dutch thing. The letters cost $1.99
but it cost $11 to mail them. A couple years ago one niece had moved
and about a month after the package was mailed we had a parcel pickup
notice from the post office. I went to get it and realized it was the
chocolate letter being sent back. They wanted $11 for postage. I
declined and was advised it would likely go to a warehouse and
eventually get thrown out. No problem. It had already paid $11 for this
$1.99 letter and now they wanted another $11. Forget it. About a month
later I got another parcel pickup notice. It turned out to be the
chocolate letter again. Now they wanted $22.

I never much liked the stuff. It didn't help matters that one day when I
was maybe 7 or 8 were went with father and a friend of his to visit his
son at university. We went to the cafeteria for lunch and the meal of
the day was egg Flourentine.  It was poached eggs on toast with a huge
glob of mushy spinach on top. I think that really did it for me with
spinach.  Many years later I discovered that spinach is good with
scrambled eggs and hot sauce and have since had eggs Benny Florentine
several times and it has been great. It likely makes a big difference
that the spinach is just lightly blanched.

Cafeteria food way back then? Yeah, that green glop was probably canned
spinach.

I would never buy canned spinach. I don't buy canned greens. I've even
seen (but don't buy) canned brussels sprouts and canned broccoli. You
know that stuff has been cooked to mush. I rarely shop the canned
vegetable aisle except for canned beans to add to soup.

Yeah. We're talking the late 50s. Cafeteria food was pretty crappy and
choices were limited. That was so long ago I have no idea what the other
choice might have been if there even was a choice, but how bad could
that choice be if I had opted for spinach on eggs.

One thing I know about spinach is that is needs only minimal cooking.
The only thing I usually use it for is scrambled eggs. I heat the butter
in a pan and when it starts to bubble I throw in the spinach. It gets
about 15 seconds and then the eggs go in.

Of course canned spinach is still available. I'm not sure who buys it
but someone must. I remember my mom telling me when my oldest brother
was a little boy he insisted she buy some canned spinach. He bought
into the whole cartoon image of canned spinach making you strong. She
tried to warn him but he insisted. Naturally, he hated it.

Plain fresh spinach has to be quickly cooked or only slightly wilted.
Or, if you eat salad, tender fresh spinach leaves are probably good but
would be enhanced by oil & vinegar dressing.

I remember my mother telling me my oldest brother watched Popeye
cartoons (no, I'm not talking about Sheldon) and he asked her to buy
canned spinach. She kept telling him he wouldn't like it but hey, he
was a little kid. So she bought some. And sure enough, he didn't like

Exactly. It might be fun to try somthing based on a pork steak (not

arrowroot.

My grandmother (born in 1913 in Roanoke, VA) used cornstarch for gravy.
She didn't make CFS, though. She considered all those Southern staples
to be food for poor white trash and ended up cooking trashier food using
convenience products like cake mix.

I still use cornstarch for gravy, though.

Works just fine, and it's easier too, but doesn't hold up well if the
gravy is to be refrigerated and reheated for later use.

Not a problem for us. We don't like very thick gravy anyhow.

It has never before occurred to me that I could have a preference for
gravy of a particular thickness.

I use cornstarch as a thickener. It's so simple! When making country
fried steak, though, the beef is dredged in seasoned flour before
browning it. So it just makes sense to use flour.

Neither of my grandmothers nor my mother ever made country fried steak.
If they had, they probably would have used flour to thicken the gravy.
It's conjecture at this point.

I tried arrowroot when investigating Native American dishes. What
stuck with me was a sort of 'succotash soup' blend with tomatoes added.
I don't use the lima beans but use other types in it. Black or kidney
are common choices.

IMHO, arrowroot is a more expensive form of cornstarch. At least in
modern grocery stores.

It's a different thickener with different properties.

I generally only use cornstarch as a thickener, but I do know arrowroot
is ridiculously priced. I wouldn't use cornstarch or arrowroot for
making country fried steak. (Note: not talking about chicken fried
steak, which is breaded and fried, not floured, browned in just a little
oil and then simmered until tender in the milk/cream gravy).

If chicken fried steak is steak cooked as if it was chicken, what's
country fried steak cooked like?

What will you be sinking your teeth into this Tuesday
evening? Home cooking, take out, or sitting down for
a meal in a restaurant?
This evenings meal will be country fried steak with
gravy made from the pan drippings. They'll get about
an hour simmer in the gravy after browning to make them
fork tender.

Tonight is day 2 of the Ham & Navy bean soup/stew with sopping bread
made yesterday.
I want to make CFS but don't have the fixin's for it here (except the
gravy). I have an experiment in mind with some sort of pork steak but
still thinking it over. Might work long braised in a brown curry gravy?

Might be good but it wouldn't be country fried steak, not by a long shot.

Country fried steak is cow fried as if it's chicken, right? So
cshenkie could have country fried pig. Do you have to listen to
country while you cook it? Or did they run out of ideas after Danish
rolls, Dutch babies and Swiss cheese and just said "[Country] fried
steak"?

into the mac & cheese.

I had christmas dinner with my business partners. We started (just 2 of
us) lightly with a tiny beer at 16:00 and we finished around 00:30 (I had
a class to teach early next day).

Loads of beer, schnapps, cognac, coffee, but what might interest you guys
here is the classic swedish dish Gubbröra (our starter):

Gubbröra is a dish usually consisting of chopped anchovies (with or
without spade), boiled egg, chives and dill that are mixed together.[1] It
can be served cold or hot (fried).

Variants may include red onion, caviar, sardines[clarify], böckling,
mayonnaise or matjessir. Common accompaniments to gubbröra can be
crispbread, toast (traditionally kavring), baked potatoes, schnapps and
beer.[2][3]

The origin of the name gubbröra is unknown.[4] Gubbröra has been in the
Swedish language since 1923.[5]

https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gubbr%C3%B6ra

Gubbröra means "Old mans hash". Very tasty and we had it with dark bread.

It sounds like a pretty good dinner. Certainly, it was better than mine.
We had an office party at an Olive Garden restaurant. The boss wanted to
eat at the Cheesecake Factory but I dreaded having to go into Waikiki.
There's certainly a lot of better restaurants in Hawaii but the guy is
Vietnamese/Canadian so his eating habits are foreign to me. It sounds
like you had a heck of a time. We had a so-so time. I would rather have
had a traditional Japanese Christmas dinner.

Last night, beef stew. Tonight, leftover beef stew. Tomorrow night,
chicken stew, probably.
What's the difference? One uses potatoes. One uses noodles. ;)
