We are having our homemade blackberry pie in about a half hour. Seabob, Daisy and I picked the b'berries, then S'Bob and I made the pie. (Daisy is our German shorthair pointer.)

Before my wife and I were married, I took her back to upstate NY to meet the family and friends. We were invited to dinner by one of my friends from high school. When we finished eating, my friend announced that we were having fresh blackberry pie for dessert. Neither my wife nor I were that excited about blackberry pie, so we asked if we could split a piece.

So, we get the pie...she takes a bite...I take a bite...we both look at each other and she says, "This is the best pie I have ever tasted." (I agreed.). My wife then says, "Uhm -- could I have my own piece of pie?"

My friend and his family used to own a diner and his Mom made all of the desserts. His mom made this pie and it was amazing! To this day that is one of the best pies I have ever tasted.

PS: I love Thai food, also!!

have a bite before the pie course.

:P :D

Huh.

Never would have thought to do that.

salad on the side.

sauce or pesto or something?

Actually, my son and I drove down to the local market and picked them up. They grill them every Saturday. We also had potato salad, peas, and biscuits.

& biscuits! :9

Whole wheat noodles with garlic, cucumber, tomato and baby yellow squash sauteed in olive oil. I cut up a cooked chicken breast into it and tossed it all together with parmesan cheese. I was impressed with myself, especially since I was only cooking for myself and managed to cook a perfect portion.

yummy... :9

yay for you! Braving the kitchen alone! :D

my usual dinner.... have to cook healthy, DH had a heart attack in June...
I put a can of diced tomatoes in with an infused garlic oil along with peppers and green squash and green onions
Made some with shallots and mushrooms the other night. Love the whole wheat pastas!
no cheese though. I pick up a couple of grilled lemon chicken breasts from the deli dept. its allot easier than cooking the chicken

.. enjoyable I can barely remember what I ate ...

Just some fresh cucumber salad and tomato salad, both from my garden.

But last night I made this funky thing.

Stick with me here:

Turkey kielbasa, a couple onions, a red pepper, a green pepper, some carrots from my garden, several potatoes cut into small chunks, some long beans from my garden, and I think that's it.

Then I chopped up a bunch of garlic in my food processor, put in some oregeno and thyme, also from my garden, chopped that up, then some salt, freshly ground pepper and a bunch of paprika. Then some olive oil. Mixed that all up and covered all the other stuff.

Then I threw it all on my grill. Served it with some more of the aforementioned salads (eat those all the time since the garden is doing well) and damn if it was good!

:)

MrG is out and about. Now...I'm overstuffed and sleepy, and grateful my daughter can now drive everywhere. She's been a big HELP this week! :hi:

Yaaay for you..doing such a nice thing! :hug:

imho. all the resterants i eat out at are local places. Jackson has some DAMN good places to eat.
