What's for dinner tonight?

[Arcticdude]

You definitely live in a rough place!

We just need to be better prepared for winter. The back of my house faces East and is surrounded by trees, so it never sees the sun. We get a huge ice dam built up all along that side of the house. When it warms up it'll all fall at once. I thought the grill was out of the way, but I miscalculated. This summer I'm going to build a roof over the rear deck and hopefully that will eliminate the ice problem and make the deck usable in winter.

Chicken in Riesling.

 

[Amish Heart]

Beef Stew, biscuits, acorn squash, and a bowl of fresh strawberries. Just picked up another flat of them from the Amish store.

Where are the fresh strawberries coming from this time of year?

We live in a really cool time in history. Average people can buy fresh produce year round that’s grown all over the globe. It used to be only the really rich could do that and it was still limited. Of course its best to not think about what some of the countries use for fertilize.....

And I’m seeing loads of strawberries in the grocery stores now too. Speaking of produce, I just had a golden honeydew that was amazingly good.

I guess in the larger towns. I haven't seen any for awhile in our local grocery store.

Venison Cottage Pie tonight.
maybe I should rename it "hunters pie" or something, although I bought the meat not hunted it.

 

[Amish Heart]

Our small Amish store gets things trucked in. So the strawberries were trucked in from Florida. There's an Amish connection outside of Sarasota in Pinecraft, Florida. Old saying here, what happens in Pinecraft stays in Pinecraft. Those Amish get to use electricity and still call themselves Old Order. Where the widows go to find a new mate. Ha Ha. Also get peaches from Colorado every year, and pears and apples from I don't know where. Locally grown and sold here are: grapes, rhubarb, some strawberries, some pears, lots of melon like watermelon and cantaloupe, squash of all types, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, green beans. Wheat, soybean, milo, and sunflower is what is mostly grown in the fields here, and also alfalfa for animal feed.
Hey Big Paul...is that like what I call Shepherd's Pie? (hamburger, vegetables, with mashed potatoes and cheese on top?)

usually Shepherds Pie is lamb, (I dont like lamb myself I prefer Mutton) Cottage Pie is beef, I called this hunters pie because its got Venison in it, mash on top-at the moment we use Sweet Potatoes, usually like tonight with Brocolli with cheese on top, and also gravy.

 

[Amish Heart]

Making a shrimp pasta and a salad. I don't like seafood, so I'll have leftover beef stew

 

[Brent S]

I have a big batch of beef stew in the instapot right now that’s making the house smell so good! Got a side of sweet corn bread to go along with it.

 

[Amish Heart]

Fried chicken, potato salad, and cantaloupe.

 

[Arcticdude]

We traveled across the state to attend a fund raising banquet, not sure what's for dinner yet.

 

[Amish Heart]

Have some buttermilk, so putting some biscuits in the oven, too.

 

[Danil54grl]

I let hunny cook. . . peas, corn and fish sticks. I'm, ok with that since I didnt get off from work till late. Just glad we had that in the freezer because nothing got taken out to defrost for dinner. My bad.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I made big pot of chicken noodle soup yesterday, put the leftovers in the freezer.
Today its BBQ chicken, ribs, burgers, sausage, mac n cheese, potato salad, baked beans and a carrot raisin salad.

 

[Amish Heart]

Today is ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans, deviled eggs, rolls, and cheesecake

 

[Arcticdude]

We got home at 3 am this morning so we're moving kind of slow today. Breakfest/lunch was left over steak fajitas. Dont know about dinner yet.

 

[Arcticdude]

We're going to grill some ribeye steaks for dinner. Enough snow has finally melted off around the charcoal BBQ.
Our gas BBQ was crushed last month when a ton block of ice fell off the roof.
