What's for Sunday dinner?

[SoMo]

I will start with chicken leg quarters BBQ over some fresh oak wood and hickory from our property, new potatoes with fresh green beans and big ol chunks of fresh smoked ham and a jar of fresh pickled beets. Gonna be good, what are you having??

[Bigbob]

Ahh man that looks and sounds so good!!!! Unfortunely I'm having Papa Murphy's pizza since mom took the kid back to school shopping

Ham gravy over rice...a family favorite. Sounds weird but a great, easy dish.

Brown ham chunks in oil with a diced onion. Add tomato sauce, salt, pepper and garlic to taste and simmer for a half hour. Serve over a bed of white rice.

Try it before you say "eeeewwww".

We took my son out for his 18th birthday dinner. Went to Carrabba's(sp?). Had spagetti with meatballs and sausage. Ice cream with pralines and caramel sauce for dessert.

T-Pee, that ham dish you described sounds almost like Jambalaya. Throw a little bell pepper, celery, Worcestershire and Louisiana hot sauce in there and it would be spot on.

SC I miss that lowland food so bad, South Carolina taught me what real food was, I do miss her so. I long to go back just to eat of her glorious bounty.

Well, I lived in the highlands, but I've visited down around Myrtle Beach and found a lot of the food to be the same as what I grew up on. The only difference was the seafood. The only fresh seafood we had back then in the highlands was oysters - ate a lot of oyster stew and fried oysters.

I try to cook in that tradition as much as I can, but it's not the same without a slab of fatback in most everything you cook. We moved away when I was near 15yo, but I still remember and crave the flavors of the region. I've lived all over the South since leaving, but never found anything that could touch it.

I was 5 now 38, we lived in sumpter and Myrtle beach, catching crabs and shrimp and all the fish, of course the oysters fried my favorite especially a po boy style sandwich. Probably why I keep a quart of bacon grease at all times, makes everything better.

I guess you could call it "lazy Creole" as that the family background. Damn right about fatback...'specially in the red beans n rice, etc.

Sometimes it's the simplest things that make you want to throw down and eat.

Tossed some Brats in with some sourkraut, halfa beer, some chicken broth, taters, and some sliced onion. Then I browned up some squirrel in a skillet and tossed that in too for about 3-4 hours. OMG is that shit good!!

[SoMo]

It ain't Sunday but steaks for the whole family for 16$ hell yeah.

You can not eat oysters with out me! I had to go get some. Put oysters in some seasoned flour then in egg wash then in italian bread crumbs then medium hot oil in frying pan. Turn 1 time to a medium brown and drain on a paper towel. 50/50 horseradish to ketchup. Kids fighting cause I can't make them fast as they eat them.

[SoMo]

Baked now you're talking, had some fried green tomatoes Saturday cooked the same way eat them hot outa the oil, damn fine eating there.

[Halfbaked]

I sliced egg plant and used the same coating method and it was awesome. You can use shrimp sauce or put it in spagetti.

[SoMo]

That sounds good too belly full and still thinking of more good food.

One of our family oyster favorites is a 'he oyster stew' , taken from J.A.Michener's book "Cheasapeake "(sp?)

[Bigbob]

Tonight took some thin cut chuck steaks cut into strips,put in skillet with olive oil,sliced peppers ,onions fried up put on tortillas with some sliced avocado ... Good eating!!

[SoMo]

Sounds like fajitas, pretty tasty. My favorite of Mexican foods yumm with plenty of lime juice.

[Bigbob]

Okay so tonight the menu is meatloaf but, I'm trying something different, I'm sautéing the peppers and onions in garlic butter and olive oil. Mixed into the ground beef then added shredded cheese . I'm hoping it will be like a Philly cheese steak loaf! Let you know how it comes out.

Sounds delicious good luck if it turns out post it in favorite foods.

Yup sounds like I need me a sandwich tomorrow. I use turkey for meat loaf. It started out cause I could loose a pound or thrity. Ok 50 or 60. It ended up with I like turkey a little better and it is cheaper and a little better for you. I like me some comfort food. A little mashed taters and a day or 2 old meat loaf sandwich is hard to be beat. Turkey for tacos and turkey for stuffed peppers is some awesome stuff.

[SoMo]

Raising freezer hogs and replacing beef with lean ground pork we've managed to drop a few pounds, hell the wife lost 30. Same size she was 20 years ago 2 pregnancies one being twins. Looking damn good.

[Bigbob]

Ok everybody loved the meatloaf but I felt it needed more flavor,maybe more cheese in it, so I don't think it's ready for the tried and true!!

Try it with a packet of onion soup mix and grated Parmesan cheese mixed in next time.
