Lipton Chicken Noddle Soup with "egg dropped" in.    GOOD soup IMO!

I like Lipton over any canned chicken soup. I'm also a fan of dropping an egg in it......and/or cut up hot dog.

My wife went to some sort of girls only function this afternoon.   She brought some excellent leftovers home.   There were a couple little old Armenian ladies who made some home made hummus with olives and moderately hot peppers, it was amazing and I eagerly look forward to another batch.   Then there was some unnamed and unknown fish egg thing with unknown spices, peppers and green onions.  It was great on a ritz and I chowed it all down in a couple minutes.  Also a platter of those tiny, cute sandwiches that women make for each other.  Not the kind of sandwiches that straight men make for each other.   Anyways I ate the whole platter of them and each tiny sandwich was delicious.  Oh and a couple stuffed mushrooms which I couldn't resist.   Dessert was some cookies and brownies that were not nearly as good as the ones my wife makes but I managed to eat a few.

Quite the mini feast, Ernie!

Work lunch was MIL's pot roast with brown rice I'd made last night. Also, a salad.

Do you put any water or oil in the rice cooker, or just the sausages in there dry?

I put just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan so it will boil quick. Once it's boiling I pull the plug out of the wall to turn it off. It will continue to boil a little while longer then stop boiling but remain hot enough to warm the food up completely. Usually only takes around 5 minutes.  Is what I just did to warm up pulled pork in a tiny ceramic bowl then I took it out and slapped it on toasted buns and scarfed it down with jalapeno kettle chips!

Yesterday I had a spicy chop bbq sammich and a smoked baked tater with cheese, butter and Adkin's mesquite fajita seasoning. Mercy that was good eating! Looked good too so should've taken a pic but I was too hungry.

Thanks, Gil!

This just gave me an idea of trying to make mashed potatoes, using the rice cooker. Peel and cube the potatoes. Cook. Drain. Mash and season.

Try cooking the potatoes in a pressure cooker. That's how I do it. cube potatoes, tomatoes and kielbasa. add whatever seasonings I feel like and some beef stock. its all good.
cook 20 minutes at 15 psi.

using a can of diced tomatoes is totally allowed when I don't have fresh tomatoes from the garden. btw: all my potatoes come from the garden. I get beef stock in the carton containers from the grocery store.

On the rare chance I get a groundhog from outback, I'll use that instead of the kielbasa. good eatin. On that note, its looking like I'm gonna have to try to add racoon to that repertoire. Their numbers are getting a little to high. About all the pressure they get around here is from being turned into roadkill and there hasn't been any of that for a few years. This summer they decimated my muscadine. I've been wanting to look into an IR scope as the coons usually only come out at night. They've gotten brazen and will walk up to me whilst I'm out back at night with my astronomy telescope. please pm me if you have any recommendations for a basic IR scope to be used on a magnum springer.

I had the leftover soup from last night and a burrito with Carolina Reaper cheese on it. I have been puttering around in the tool shed and backyard today, cleaning some things and reorganizing some...


OH, the mystery package was something my wife ordered.

You'll need enough water to last for 30 minutes of boiling or so I bet. Let us know how it turns out!

My rice cooker is kind of a pressure cooker in itself, just no where as intense....nor as dangerous. My thinking is that the pressurisation would cook the potatoes quicker. Although, I do have an Instant Pot which is a full fledged pressure cooker.

Betty Lou made us an awesome fresh salad. I love crisp crunchy lettuce, fresh tomatoes, grated cheddar, ham chunks, onion, green pepper, garlic croutons and honey mustard. I also had club crackers. I ate a heaping dinner plate full.

All you're missing are the slices of hard boiled eggs.

She usually does but this was a quick fast and in a hurry on the spot meal. We been outside working all day and she didn't feel like preparing a meal. She forgot to pull anything out of the freezer. But that salad was spot on after being outside all day.

Absolutely fancy looking!

Expensive looking too! Hope the taste was worth the bill Brett.

Enjoyed some Cajun pork sausage dipped in Kinder's hot bbq sauce yum! Also snacked on a couple honey ham slices with swiss cheese, salt and pepper which was really tasty too.

Fried haddock and sticky white rice.   Also some anti-oxydent veggies to counteract the fried food.

[Xraycer]

Combined a few leftovers together for dinner: Velveta mac and cheese; buttered garofalo pasta; bbq spiced pork tenderloin; chopped fresh jalapeno. Pretty good!

The memsahib is off with mom this evening so I'm batching it.  A tin of sardines in mustard and one of those handy little packages of Ritz crackers washed down with a glass of sweet iced tea.

That covers all the essential food groups right?

Some good stuff including Barbacoa Tacos
