Everyobody's dinner sounds so good...it was rainy today too so I made a pot of "lets clean out the veggie bin" soup...some of the veggies include carrots, parsnips, onions, cabbage, celery & potatoes --kinda boring, I know & tasted so...I may drain the liquid and fry it up to resemble a colcannon based dish....

More inspiring dishes this weekend...I'm gonna make fried chicken and butternut squash mac & cheese ...

I left campus to go grocery shopping today, and went to a cafe nearby called My Daddy's Cheesecake. Apparently they have really good cheesecake. I did not try it today, but I will someday.
Instead, I got vegetable soup in a bread bowl, a pumpkin roll, and coffee.
For some reason, drizzly, cold fall weather makes me want to eat soup, pumpkin flavoured things, and apples all the time...
I am going to be cooking in my dorm again. I'll save what I make for tomorrow's "what's for dinner" thread ;)

heelsonbricks...your spinach sounds soooo good.

I peeled and cubed a butternut squash, roasted it and then mashed w/ salt, pepper and butter. Also had meatloaf and a green salad.

everyone's meals sound so good! It's freeeezing here tonight. I crisped up some leftover brown rice in a pan with sesame oil, soy sauce and sriracha and then just heated up some leftover moo shu chicken in the same pan and sprinkled it all with cilantro and sesame seeds. I steamed some cauliflower to eat on the side but the white pepper that I refilled the grinder with and then ground onto the cauliflower had a horrible smell to it, so I couldn't eat the veggies. woops.

I rocked dinner tonight. Curried apple soup, latkes with homemade applesauce and plain yogurt. Snap peas on the side-all washed down with apple juice with a tad o'ginger that I juiced this morning. (Picked 20 lbs. of apples on Monday...down to about 8-9 apples!).

This month's Food and Wine had an article asking just this question. ie: what is the "bacon" of wine. Or rather, what wine goes with bacon. I think the answer was a merlot but it's Friday afternoon and I can't be counted on for accuracies. Check out the issue. It's in there.

Hendricks and Gin... that cucumber back note would go well with the tomato and mayo on the sandwich.

ooooh cider! good call Annie T, woudl work well with the bacon

Bloody Mary :)
I will have a BLT and BM in the morning and let you know if it is too much tomato.

:)

i like the idea of gin and tonic or soda. Somethign about the gin will cut the richness of the bacon and maybe cleanse the palate for the next bite?

I love caesars and bloody mary's but I don't think you want something else tomato-y and salty competing with your beautiful bacon.

oh I meant to say, you can serve them as highballs or in martini glasses if you're into that sort of thing.

I am surprised that only @Divadog mentioned banana pudding - my, my, how well I remember my first taste in South Carolina - would love a real recipe - up here in Canada one can get banana cream pie, but it cannot touch southern banana pudding.

Also, hush puppies, not the mass produced ones, but the lovely crispy, fluffy ones produced in small restaurants - bliss.

Frogmore stew or Brunswick stew - I have seen it called both, but I have reproduced it in Canada to rave reviews - I had to buy my Old Bay seasoning stateside, though I believe if you shop around in specialty stores you can find it now.

Deep fried okra, biscuits, shrimp & grits - need I go on - our vacations in the South necessitate a great deal of restraint.

I have mentioned before how lucky people in the South are, to have both sweet and non sweet ice tea available at almost every restaurant you enter. There is absolutely nothing nicer than to walk in from the torpid heat and humidity and have a large, cold glass of tea!
