I'm feeling a bit punchy and thinking of summer-type meals. So far I've gotten as far as steaks on the grill, macaroni salad, corn on the cob dripping with melted butter, sliced fresh beefsteak tomatoes with black pepper and salt, strawberry shortcake... What's your favorite summer meal combo? Beccy |

12 Mar 03 - 05:07 PM (#908499) Subject: RE: BS: Say. What's for dinner???? From: DougR Beccy, I'll certainly go along with steaks on the grill but since I'm on a Lo Carb diet I won't be able to have my favorite sides with it. So I'll probably opt for half a baked, buttered, potato skin and a green salad. My next best is a hamburger (without a bun now of course). DougR |

From: Bobert Beccy: Warmin' up here in Wes Ginny, too, and I reckon I'll be tillin' up the garden for plantin' next month so that come along around the middle of July I'll have fresh bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, pole beans, cukes and maybe some lettuce left if it ain't oo hot. So I'll take me a basket out and pick all this stuff fresh, give them beans a few minutes in the steamer while choppin' up the rest fir a refreshin salad with a little oil and vinigar and fresh basil sprinkled on top. While that's going on, the P-Vine will be grillin' chicken breasts with mesquite seasoning mixed in oil and a few extra large shrimp just fir good measure. As fir desert, I nice bowl of chilled cantelope sliced and diced, ummm, ummm nice. All served on the back deck overlookin' these wonderful gardens I have all whilst the humming birds will be diving in and out of their feeder... Yeah, thanks fir askin'. Bobert |

12 Mar 03 - 05:58 PM (#908536) Subject: RE: BS: Say. What's for dinner???? From: catspaw49 Local grown corn and I have a couple of favorite places to get it! Starting in mid July and through the first part of September, I go nuts. I pray to the great god Diverticula and last year he allowed me to eat a "reasonable amount" without surgery. I always eat corn without a shirt and no one will get close to me as it is best to stay away from the machinery. Karen always is threatening divorce by mid August. Outside of that we char the hell out of assorted animal flesh and consume mass quantities. My other favs? Home grown tomatoes, fried green tomatos, and WILTED LETTUCE!!!! I make a killer wilter with bacon grease and also dine without a shirt on this delicacy. Karen again threatens divorce. Spaw |

12 Mar 03 - 05:58 PM (#908537) Subject: RE: BS: Say. What's for dinner???? From: Kim C Bobert, if you ever were a critter eater, I recommend Gardenburgers or Boca Burgers. Even a meat-eater like me likes 'em. I especially like the Savory Mushroom Gardenburger. And I've made great chili before with that TVP stuff. I like ham hocks in the blackeyed peas, too, but you can replace that with plenty of onions and garlic! DougR, if you have a whole-grain bun, you'll be all right. I did a low-carb diet a couple years ago, and while I cut WAY back on bread and potatoes, I never did cut them out completely, and still had great success. Nothing I lost has ever come back. And while I don't "diet" now, I do pay attention to my intake of refined carbs, and try to eat mostly whole grains. They taste better anyway! :-) I still treat myself to potato chips now and again. When it's really hot out, I like to make big ol' green salads with grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, and top it off with Ken's Steak House Raspberry Vinaigrette. yummmm!!!!! |

12 Mar 03 - 06:38 PM (#908561) Subject: RE: BS: Say. What's for dinner???? From: NicoleC Doug, you might want to check out sprouted bread or Ezekiel bread if you can get it in your neck of the wood. Most of it has about 20 carbs a slice -- depending on how low carb you're going that might still be too much. But one slice has about 3 times the filling and nutrition (and taste) of your run of the mill "whole wheat" bread (which usually isn't really, but that's another story.) I've done the low carb thing, and sometimes you just want a tuna sandwich with the BREAD! Everytime my Mom comes to Cal she goes home with a suitcase full of bread... It's in the 70's here. Tonight, I'm thinking roast pheasant with a honey lime sauce with steamed asparagus. |

12 Mar 03 - 07:55 PM (#908620) Subject: RE: BS: Say. What's for dinner???? From: Rustic Rebel When it's harvest time, I like to do a what-ever I have stir fry. I make it different everytime but it always turns out good. Cut up chicken breasts into chunks that have been marinated in olive oil, vinegar, garlic, (fresh)ginger, thyme, pepper, tamari or soy sauce and cayanne. Stir fry the chicken with the marinade juice. Remove chicken and add to pan; green beans, bell pepper, carrot, radish (I like the black or sweetheart), cook awhile, add onion, corn(scrapped) tomato, zuccinni, and peas. I usually add more tamari for liquid, little water, little olive oil. Add chicken back when veggies are still slightly crunchy, warm chicken and feast. I've also added cukes, kolrabi, parsnips, beets, cabbage, Jeez.. I think I'm making my garden list here! This is good with a polish sausage too. Now it's bragging time. I tell you what, I pride myself in my garden. I grow some of the sweetest corn you'll ever eat, I make the best pickles in the county, salsa that warms you right up and and damn fine grape wine! Now I'm thinking of all the work that's coming up! Peace. Rustic |

12 Mar 03 - 11:34 PM (#908771) Subject: RE: BS: Say. What's for dinner???? From: Bee-dubya-ell Favorite summertime food? Easy. Homegrown gaspacho. The trick is getting all the ingredients to ripen at the same time so it can be truly "homegrown". It's just not quite the same if you have to buy the tomatoes because yours are already played out before the cukes are ripe. Make a big ole pot and when you get tired of gaspacho just scald some bulgur wheat and throw it in the same pot and call it tabouli. But, before we get too far into Summer let us not forget springtime's own culinary delight. Fresh-picked sugarsnap peas. Don't even cook 'em. Hell, don't even take 'em in the house. Just pick 'em off the vine and eat 'em raw. Sure wish it'd quit raining so I can get the garden beds tilled. Can't roto-till mud. Bruce |

My lady and I are doing well on the diet but we are not going into it full hog. We are just reducing our Carbs, not cutting them out entirely. I had a physical early this week and I've lost eleven pounds, my cholestral has dropped below 200 (for the first time in years) and triglycerides (have dropped from 189 to 128) all within a month. Sorry for the thread creep Beccy. Nicole, I'm going to look for that bread. Trader Joe's has a decent low-carb bread too.

Maw Clara used to call it "field salad," and it was a way of getting fresh greens for free. Free, in this case, was kinda important. On the other side, my Grandpa Castle used to make dandelion wine, as well as the grape kind, in his bathtub. |

14 Mar 03 - 02:23 AM (#909658) Subject: RE: BS: Say. What's for dinner???? From: Stilly River Sage My garden had some surprises last summer--we bought a few packs of things on sale kind of late in the season to poke in the ground--beggars can't be choosers--and ended up with some absolutely wonderful eggplants and tomatoes. I found a nice recipe in a Middle Eastern cookbook that would work for homegrown onions, tomatoes and eggplant. It calls for stewing pork but I've used cubed sirloin and it's marvelous. I recently helped a friend revise the research information (links for ethnic organizations) in his Ellis Island Immigrant Cookbook. I can't find it on my bookshelf--it may be I loaned it out (a friend admired it a couple of weeks ago. . . geez, but my memory is going!). We worked together on Ellis many years ago as interpretive historians. He conducted a nationwide search for recipes that people had in their families that they knew came from the old country. These were compiled into the book, along with a lot of Ellis history. I asked Tom once if he'd made everything in the book--he said that he'd tried quite a few, but that if they don't turn out (some of the instructions and measures are pretty unique!) he can always say that the recipe is as much a historic document as it is a viable recipe to make today. But there is some good stuff in there. It might be an interesting challenge to figure out modern day equivalents and measures for some of the measures and ingredients in those recipes. This reminds me that my mother had some recipes that she had to experiment with to get them right, because her step-mother had written them out using household objects as the measures, not standardized utensils.

08 Sep 03 - 10:23 AM (#1014755) Subject: RE: BS: Say. What's for dinner???? From: Joe_F Sage: Yes, "pease" is the original form, as in "pease porridge hot". It could be an uncountable noun, or a countable one with plural "peasen". Then, first in London & then in the rest of the world, the bare word "pease" was taken for a plural and "pea" was invented. That happened about 1600. The transition to summer is marked in my dinners by having a salad instead of cooked vegetables. Lettuce, cucumber, tomato, avocado, Italian pepper, scallion, radishes, vinegar, oil, salt, pepper. The end is in sight for this year. |

Our birthdays are a week apart, end of August and early Sept.

That's labor intensive and heats the house so is better now that it is cooler. We added corn on the cob, and a nice salad. For dessert we had some really ripe peaches. As we proceed into the winter I agree--we enter the cooked veggie stage. Soups, stews, beans. And some of those Brits get going about Brussel Sprouts. ;-) SRS |

When's dinner... ;) SRS - There's nothing wrong with Brussel sprouts, provided they're not cooked yellow. Brussel sprouts should still crunch when you eat them, otherwise they're overdone. Next you'll be telling me you don't like offal... Oh, & I'll vouch for Jeanie's cooking... cos I was helping her eat it! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... |

I especially loved them when they're cooked in a little chicken broth and served with hot pepper vinegar shaken over the top. Oooooooh- there's afternoon snack! Beccy |

However, my favorite meal is 3 or 4 steamed lobsters, Belgian fries and corn on the cob, washed down with a pint of Guinness. |

From: Stilly River Sage Raedwulf--I don't have an opinion about Brussels sprouts, except that there seem to be several spellings for them so I put off saying anything more for a few posts. I read some pretty funny stuff about them last year, the only reason I rattled that cage on this thread. There seem to be some tall tales attached to this particular veggie. :) SRS |

Mescul, I think, with herbed chevre and dried blueberries. Perhaps I can still get some Copper River salmon. Or tuna steaks. Tuna steaks rubbed with olive oil, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and a touch of salt, perhaps, and left to sit a bit. Then quickly seared. Boiled and then briefly microwaved new potatoes with minted and parsleyed butter. Steamed aspargus, or perhaps artichokes, with curried mayonnaise. Blue Bunny "Bunny Tracks" ice cream for dessert. |
