… a very plump 7lb oven roaster stuffed with sweet, herbal stuffing. Roasted in a poultry bag in the electric roaster oven to falling off of the bone perfection. So close to Thanksgiving? You bet. I am a turkey and chicken junkie. :mrgreen:
A generous portion of fresh mashed potatoes and fresh sweet peas. Washed down with an ice…cold…sierra mist (fooled ya there 
) because I don’t drink anymore.
Now lets see how the rest of you do bringing more sides and don’t forget to bring a dessert.
Hey Eric,
Creamed spinach wouldn’t hurt that dish even a little bit.
Mark
Well, actually, some hunks of cheap beef, criss-cross sliced deeply on both sides, soaked in some Asian liquid, (ginger and kiwi and secret stuff) and grilled hot and fast on the outdoor BBQ. Fried 'taters, corn, asparagus and raw pineapple.
broiled catfish, rice and frozen sweet corn from the garden. My exchange student said, “Wow, this is just like summer!” Indeed, with the wind blowing gales of winter past our little prairie village. JGW
Mark,
Shirley you weren’t serious about Creamed Spinach? 
I thought all the spinach was off the market? Popeye like it though!
Shrimp and chicken and noodles with light sauce. I could eat that until the cows come home! 
Doug
pecan pie still warm from the oven,a huge scoop of french vanilla ice cream and a good cup of coffee.
A big serving of peach cobbler made from peaches right off of the tree. A medley salad straight out of the garden. How about some shoe-fly pie with a big dollop of your favorite home made ice cream on top.
Man I am getting hungry again! This is all sooooo goooood! Keep it coming. Great ideas and keeping us warm on a very cold night!
Now I don’t drink but I am a good host. We have a terrific local winery here. What would my guests like for a spirited nectar of the gods?
Jim,
You are now in charge of “her” brand new, stainless steel, 60,000 BTU, five burner with side burner, Charbroil gas grill. You are now “Keeper Of The Flame” and all must pay tribute to you to receive your charbroiled delicacies.
Well, you don’t want this one! Yuck! I screwed up… Too much kiwi. Marinated it too long. The meat ‘broke down’. Mushy tasting. Oh well, Next time, no kiwi, short soak and different meat. (grill is a Weber)
JC,
Asian Liquid marinade? Hoo Boy!! That sure sounds like a candidate for “What’s Cookin’”.
Bill
Hey! Right… We love the stuff. Next time we make the ‘Real thing!’ I will write it up, with pictures. Thanks for the idea.
I put some round steak in a cast iron skillet, some garlic, dried onions, a splash of red wine, a can of “petite” cut tomatos, cubed tattees, a handfull of corn and peas, some carrots, a stalk of celery, a bit of beef bullion, salt and pepper…covered that mess up and simmered for an hour…we be talkin good eats.
Jumbo Jack fries and a coke. It was toastmasters club night and we meet at Jack in the box.
Last night we had Elk tenderloins, green beans, some chedder bread, and I topped it off with a single malt dessert. Yum.
JC,
The meat that goes “best” with that method of prep is flank steak. It is good to remember that when it’s done, to slice very thinly across the grain. By “thinly” I mean less than 1/4 inch and must to be careful when chewing. This cut of meat is KNOWN for it’s ability to choke you you if you “bite off more than you can chew”.
Mark
PS: Doug, shirley I am serious, SPINACH rocks
Mark,
Do I have to lead you through this routine?
P.S. Doug, SHIRLEY I am serious, SPINACH rocks AND DON’T CALL ME SHIRLEY!
Raw baby spinach is the only edible kind which I put on my sandwich.
You don’t need MEAT to bit off more than you can chew!
Doug
Doug,
So you thought “Shirley” went over my head?? Ok, I’ll forgive you for that, BUT, your negative SPINACH comments are UN-forgivable.
Mark
Marko, NP… Understand. But, we were told by the store to ‘try’ this idea. Yucko! We use thin cut sections of short ribs; yummy! (and no kiwi) tenderizes it too much.
I’d go with lotecJoe’s cornish game hens cooked right on the fire in a cast iron Stockpot. You havn’t lived till you’ve tried it. :lol:
It is a meal in one With cabbage, onions, potatoes , carrots and of course game hens. Deeelicious!
I wish i could do it as welll as Joe can.
Mark,
I was just rehearsing a Movie line and because you didn’t repeat the line properly…Your Fired!
ACTORS!
RAW baby spinach for my sandwich, is the ONLY spinach I will ever eat, even if it means I’m GROUNDED for not eating that cooked yucky stuff!
Have a great wednesday!
Doug
