after a long day of multiple doctor appointments, lab tests, christmas
shopping and grocery shopping all punctuated by long drives in tons of wet
snow I got home and realized that the best way to get David to shovel was to
make dinner.

In a pot went
1/2 chopped onion
2 cloves smashed garlic
1 can great northern beans (should have been 2 cans, but I only had one)
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped potato
1/2 cup chopped kale
1 can diced tomato
3 cups vegetable broth
penzeys greek seasoning, salt, pepper, fresh grated ginger, a cinnamon stick,
a little sage, tarragon and a pinch of dill.

It's simmering on low.

I also made cornbread.

sounds good! I just made up a pan of macaroni and cheese that I'm
cooking in an hour or so before Rob gets home.. I am quite tempted to
eat it right out of the pan right now, though 🙂

Here is what I don't understand and I never have.

Why are savory recipes written as above.

What the hell does one do with the leftover, onion, potato, carrot, Kale.
Vegetable broth comes in 16 ounce cans - 3 cups, Hmmmm is that 1.5 cans?

I have never been able to pick just enough carrot to fill 1 cup, and If I do I
end up munching out in the rest.

LOL

The measurements are approximate and determined after the fact. I measured
nothing as I was putting it together except I kept track of how much water I
added then added the appropriate amount of "better than bouillion" vegetable
stock goo. I used mini carrots chopped in half and little baby potatoes and it
looked to be about 1 cup each.

All the extras went back in the fridge/pantry.

but it will continue snowing.

All I want to do tonight is eat my dinner and then work on my new mad crochet
skillz (I can now crochet a cable 'knit'. I'm so bad ass.)

leaves for new orleans on the 26th, I've got 2 days before I have to fly down
there to meet him....mmmmmmac and cheese....

I tried the Calorie Commando's recipe a month or so ago for baked Macaroni
and Cheese. It was SO good. The calories weren't reduced that much, but
the fat was lowered quite a bit. Thought I'd try it as a hoot and it was
good.

I just mentioned that it was getting to be mac and cheese weather and he just
said "i don't think I want that" with more prodding he admitted he didn't like
it all that much. I was a little sad that he ate it all last winter without
saying a word.

I threw in a pot my own version of 'Hamburger Helper'. Cooked macaroni,
browned ground beef (cooked with onion & garlic), tomato sauce, ground ancho
chili powder, ground cumin, mexican oregano, a little cayenne pepper for
heat, salt to taste.

Thankfully there is nothing to shovel here. It's just rainy.

Isn't it funny how that happens. I've been married nearly 20 years and I
knew steak wasn't my husband's favorite so I seldom make it for the family.
I might make one for my lunch now and again. One day my brother and I were
reminiscing about the delicious steak our folks fixed when we were kids. I
said how I could count the amount of steaks I've had in the last 5 years
probably on 2 hands. My husband over heard the conversation and said you
can have steak for dinner any time you like. I reminded him he doesn't like
steak. He said when you grill a steak throw a couple hot dogs or sausages
on and I'd be happy. I said, "Really?!" and he said, "Really."

That's the kind of stuff I always call "stokin' food". No bones,
nothing to cut, just a nice warm plateful you can shovel in.

I often do ground beef, frozen mixed vegetables, canned diced tomatoes,
and rice.

meat I have. A little balsamic vinegar, and I can eat the whole damn
potful 🙂

Always good. Mine is a one-pot meal, brown the ground beef, add the
rice and cook it a bit, dump in the vegetables and tomatoes along with
some beef broth, let it simmer 20 minutes or so.

My girlfriend doesn't like it, but for a reason I find completely
irrational: She likes macaroni and she likes cheese, but she considers mac &
cheese to be "white trash food."
