Heating up the last of the meatloaf I made a couple of weeks ago. I
used the large silicone muffin pans to cook individual size meatloaf
portions and froze them. Dinner tonight is the last of the thawed
meatloaf, with mac & cheese and some nuked Fordhook lima beans as a
green vegetable side.

Wnat's for dinner at your house tonight?

I'm having some leftover chunky chicken soup, your Majesty. Your
Highness' vittles sounds wonderful.

My wife had taken some chicken thighs out of the freezer but had no set
plans for them. When I got home I cut it up and sliced up an onion and
some red pepper and green peppers, and minced some garlic and ginger and
left it all for her to figure out what to do with it. The plan worked.
She made Panang chicken curry.
Megatron is smarter than I thought, Office Dave!

That seems to be your go-to meal when it comes to chicken. ;)

It does seem to have become that. I love it. I have to confess to taking
more than a little joy in her taking over a lot of the meals that I used
to do, and to her taking over so much of the cooking. No guilt there. I
did almost all the cooking and all of the baking for a long time.It was
nice to see her taking over that job.

Just a salad.

We had lunch at the local Turkish place. I had lentil soup, roast
salmon, green beans cooked with tomatoes, and rice pilaf. My husband
had salad, ground lamb in a spicy sauce served over a puree of charred
eggplant, and rice pilaf.

We picked up some ice cream on the way home. Peanut butter and
chocolate for him; salted caramel for me.

Now that sounds great! The only "ethnic" restaurants in Beaufort are
the typical Tex-Mex, Thai and Japanese sushi/teppanyaki grill type places.

I was speaking more of the mainstream so-called "ethnic" crap available
in Beaufort. There are no Turkish restaurants like the one Cindy mentioned.

Gullah? You bet!

'Gullah Grub' restaurant is quite nice. It's located about 6 miles from
my house in a tiny village that used to be called Frogmore*.

https://gullahgrub.com/

Nice little video with chef Bill Green cooking collards, red rice and
pan fried chicken here:

https://gullahgrub.com/grub-shop/

I've met the chef, Bill Green. He sat at our table and talked about fox
hunting. They don't actually hunt foxes anymore but in the old English
tradition they ride to hounds. He raises fox hounds and wears the full
regalia when going on a hunt: red coat, jodhpurs and black boots.

*Frogmore was named after an estate in England. These days the Post
Office calls it Saint Helena. This area was first claimed by the
Spanish who named it Saint Helena. Later the English, who called it
Frogmore. In the early 1990's some snooty people who were ignorant of
the history felt the name Frogmore was undignified so it was changed
back to Saint Helena. I still think of it as Frogmore. :)

You've heard of Frogmore Stew? It's not really a stew. It's also known
as a lowcountry boil consisting of shrimp, blue crab, corn on the cob,
sausage and potatoes, boiled with lots of spices, drained. Buckets are
provided for disposing of the shrimp & crab shells and corn cobs while
eating.

I digress. Gullah Grub is a nice restaurant with really good food. At
times you will see older Gullah women sitting on the porch weaving
sweetgrass baskets. It's a centuries old tradition which the younger
generation does not seem interested in. They're too glued to their
iPhones. :(

times a year at the Penn Center The Gullah tradition and culture is
very much alive. Every black person I know (and I know quite a few) are

Frogmore Stew is not a dish prepared for 2! ;) Usually cooked outdoors
and served tossed on top of paper at picnic tables for large gatherings
with the aforementioned buckets for disposing of the seafood shells and
corn cobs.

There used to be a restaurant on Lady's Island called Steamer's. It was
not a Gullah restaurant, per se, but they served Frogmore Stew. They had
specially built wooden tables with holes in the center for the buckets.
Sadly, after 40+ years they closed. The building was razed and there is
a Wendy's there now. :( Yeah, because what every place needs is yet
another fast food joint.

with the aforementioned buckets for disposing of the seafood shells and
corn cobs.
That sounds like the meal we had at the Crab Shack near Tybee Island. I
don't remember all the details but there was shrimp and sausage and
corn. There were no plates, just a roll of paper.

Yes, that would also be typical on or near Tybee Island, Dave. It's a
"Lowcountry" seafood boil. Originated from people who were using
whatever fresh food was avaiable in season. Shrimp, blue crab, corn,
new potatoes and, way back in the day, homemade pork sausages. Cooked
up with spices and drained and served on paper. Outdoors.

Agreed.

On boiled sausage, fairly common and manages to jump 'recipe names' if
it's accepted to serve in a bowl such as 'kentucky burgoo' (a total
mishmash type of dish).

There used to be a restaurant on Lady's Island called Steamer's.

Any relation to Cleveland Steamer?

I'm in love!  I remember looking into it when I lived on the far
side of SC from you (Clemson is the big town).
Yeah, my employer (born & raised in the Bronx, NY) is a huge fan of
Clemson football.  Both his kids graduated from Clemson but they
didn't play football.
Hehe no harm!!  Most of the football guys were 'unsmart' but I always
thought it should be it's an optional degree, yes with limited career
options but they have worse ones out there.  I only really met one of
the football guys.  Will Perry 'the refridgerator'.  He dated my room
mate Debra Varn.
I'm not a football fan but even I've heard of Will 'the refrigerator' Perry!
Is he any relation to Sam Perry? He was quite an athlete back in the 1960s.

Nor do I.
But many years ago I worked on a political campaign with Sam Perry. He
was an outstanding athlete in high school and at university, but went
into law, rather than sports, as a career, and I _think_ he had a
relative named Willie.
Just curious.

Sad but revivals may happen. I used to have some sweetgrass baskets.
What happened to your sweetgrass baskets? Lost in a move?
1 fell apart over time, others got snagged by roomates, some just lost
over time.

The older generation is trying to teach the younger but they don't
seem to care much. However, there are Gullah festivals that take
place a few times a year at the Penn Center The Gullah tradition
and culture is very much alive. Every black person I know (and I
know quite a few) are Gullah.
Jill
We can still hope! Sometimes things skip a generation.
Hopefully!
Agreed, and yes, (snipped) 'Frogmire stew' is pretty much outdoor
cooking but can also be great with a large family in winter made over a
central wood heating stove. 1975 was a different world in those times
once you got away from the big cities.

I'm used to big cities now but growing up, most cities were population
under or well under 1,000.

That's too bad. Some of them are quite valuable.

No, you really wouldn't want to cook Frogmore Stew indoors even in
smaller quantities inside over a wood stove. It's too messy to eat indoors.

You've heard of Frogmore Stew? It's not really a stew. It's also known
as a lowcountry boil consisting of shrimp, blue crab, corn on the cob,
sausage and potatoes, boiled with lots of spices, drained. Buckets are
provided for disposing of the shrimp & crab shells and corn cobs while
eating.
I may have had a variation of Frogmore Stew at Visko's in New Orleans in
1987. They provided a bucket. I never experienced a meal like it before
or since. Most meals aren't memorable, but that one was.
Besides the shrimp and blue crab, there were crawdads in the meal I had.
"Suck da haid!"

The addition of crawfish in New Orleans makes sense. Definitely a
variation from the original Frogmore Stew.

Heating up the last of the meatloaf I made a couple of weeks ago. I
used the large silicone muffin pans to cook individual size meatloaf
portions and froze them. Dinner tonight is the last of the thawed
meatloaf, with mac & cheese and some nuked Fordhook lima beans as a
green vegetable side.
Wnat's for dinner at your house tonight?
We had beef stew. My wife is going to a Yerington High School get
together this weekend, and the leftover stew means that I don't have
to cook again till Monday. Or, I could eat Taco Bell. She hates that!
She headed down there with the matron-of-honor at our long-ago wedding,
so I trust the proceedings.
I'm keeping an eye on the whole shebang with "Find My". ;)

This is smart! Autumn is here, so tomorrow I will probably cook chili or
swedish Sjömansbiff. I cook a big batch which lasts for at least 2-3 days.

English translation of the swedish wikipedia entry for Sjömansbiff,
because they are usually better than the english ones.

Leftovers?

And did you also have fordhook lima beans with the salmon?

Did megatron reheat your meal, or were you the chef?
