What's for supper?

Yesterday ended up as grilled steak, SO’s never ending garlicky spaghetti with spinach and mushrooms and a huge rabbit food. Really fresh and crunchy romaine with onions, apples. I may have to glue a cotton ball to my britches:) Five more to go.
 
Thanksgiving! Slow grilled chicken breast bone in skin on, dressing, gravy, green beans, fresh cranberry sauce and of course rabbit food.

Two big breasts so chicken salad or fajitas tomorrow. SO brought home a big sourdough loaf. The daughter of a shooter is starting a bakery in Luther, OK and dad brought full sized samples.

Did you make the kraut?

Nope. I've thought of it off & on. Aside from the fact that I don't have a crock, it seemed that the whole "Periodically scrape the mold off the top" thing was probably something I'd want someone to teach me first-hand. And I don't really have a place to put it as it ferments.

I do always buy refrigerated bagged kraut (not that it matters, since I always heat it and kill the probiotics.) For many years, Double H has always been my go-to, but Walmart no longer carries it. They have Silver Floss brand. I've not tried it yet...this is my first bag.

You don't need a crock; you can make kraut in a mason jar. You should try it; it would only cost you a cabbage. :D
 
I made a meatloaf today using minced chicken, herbs and spices..
Baked mini potatoes, steamed mixed veggies..
Yogurt with fruit..
Pot of tea...

Enough meatloaf left over for at least one more meal each plus a meatloaf sandwich for us..

Chickpeas & pasta (Bklyn slang-- chichi & basti)

Reminds me of watching The Sopranos. Tony would often mention "gabagool" and I could never figure out what he was talking about.

From Google--"Gabagool" is the Southern Italian-American slang pronunciation of capicola (or capocollo), a traditional Italian cured pork cold cut.

Seriously?? Gabagool is a pronunciation of capicola?? :D

Yes there are a lot of bad pronunciations of the actual items.

Before my mom passed my middle daughter made a cookbook of all her recipes. Many are called depression recipes because they took the cheapest food items like bread and beans and found ways to make it appetizing. When we moved from Brooklyn to Long Island, she made a lot of woman friends that would come over not just for the talk but the food. They would be joined by my cousins and this would happen often at least once a week.

In the cookbook my daughter tried to capture the slang also. The cookbook became very popular I had to make a second printing we handed them out to family and friends.

You need to share some of those recipes with us, Tony. I'd love to see that cookbook!

I don't want to make it sound bigger than it actually was.
It was only a paper back spiral bound 30 to 35 page book that a local printer put together.

I have one beat up copy I did have more but lost them in the fire unless they're packed away somewhere.

The recipe chickpea and pasta that we are making tonight, that I posted is from that book my wife makes it almost exactly like my mom did.
