Do Ya like ta cook?

My Wife And I both like to cook, But we get stuck in a rut cooking the same thing too often. We mentioned this to a couple ladies at church and one of them gave us this great recipe.

It is called Hungarian Porkchops.

5 center cut porkchops
1 med to large onion
1/4 to 1/2 cup sliced bananna peppers (canned or fresh)
1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes
3 tbs oil
Salt & pepper to taste
1 cup water

in skilliet, brown pork chops in oil. (They will not be cooked through.) Add onions, peppers, water, tomatoes, Salt, & Pepper.
Cover and simmer on low heat until pork chops are tender. (depending on thickness of porkchops, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours)

This is really good served over Mashed potatos or pasta.

that recipe works well in a crock pot too... then serve over rice for a change of pace.

darn these birds areeverywhere...I have made a dish almost like that with rice...sort of a spanish rice and pork chop deal...sounds good...right now I am doing my summer canning..put up tomatos, green beans, blueberry jam..going to make squash relish tomorrow...yum

Mmmmmm That sure sounds good Miz Mum. I've never had blueberry jam, My wife makes a delishious strawberry freezer Jam.

I've never heard of squash relish, Is it sweet? My mother use to make something called Chow Chow that I loved, unfortunatley she was one of those hillbilly ladies who never wrote a recipe down.

I love chow chow YUM!!! Mummy D I want some jam...I love you jams...I have been craving Blueberries something awful lately. Remember all all those huge blueberreis we picked at the Tow river that summer...not to mention the blackberries bushes scratchin the hell outta us...oh that was awesome!!!

I haven't eaten blueberries very often, I don't think they grow in our Area. The only time I had fresh ones, was when I visited My Sister in Michigan.

It is getting harder & harder to find Blackberry bushes around our area. The farmers have cleaned their fence rows or the county uses weed killers along the country roads where they use to grow.

Growing up I remember fighting bumble bees, snakes, chiggers and mosquitios, trying to pick blackberries. But it was worth it, My Mom would make a four layer blackberry cobbler, MMMmmm Topped off by a scoop of homemade vanillia ice cream...Darn, I'm drooling all over my keyboard.

Damn Rog now I am drooling too!!!

good summer squash soup recipe

saute a med onion and about 5 yellow squash small to medium..in a tblsp of butter
boil two med potatos
have on hand a can of chicken browth
some cream or milk
salt and pepper to taste

when the squash and onion mixture is tender and the potatos are done, pour them into a blender with half the can of broth. Blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture back into a pot with the rest of the can of broth and some milk or cream. usually about half a cup..use your taste...I like to sprinkle a little dab of nutmeg on top. It is yummy..

Did robin every make her califlower soup for you Mum?

Oh I love that soup and I bet I could remember the recipe by heart UMMM lets see

clean one head of califlower and break into pieces and
boil in two 16 oz cans of chicken broth and some chopped onion until soft About 15 minutes.
Strain the mixture BUT keep the broth. Take 2/3 of the califlower and blend in food precessor or blender til smooth. Using the same pot you started with melt a stick of butter and add enough flour to make roux...then add a 8oz container of whipping cream and 1-2 cups of milk (this depends on how thick you want your soup... stir this frequently and then add 8 (or more oz) I like 12oz of grated fontina cheese. let that melt up nicely and put the reserved chicken broth and califlower smoothy mix to the pot. Add Salt and pepper to taste and Nutmeg...I also like a little ginger. Lastly add the reamining 1/3 chunky pieces of califlower. Simmer shortly and YUM!!!

Great with baget bread for dipping!!

Mm, sounds great. All of it. Wish I could share a recipe, but the only thing I know how to do is macaroni. And even that fails sometimes.

In Chicago I tried to make it with spam, figuring it was the same stuff as our spam. But it wasn't even remotely like it. So salty!

Like your mayonaise! UGH, it's so disgusting! No wonder the thought of putting it on fries grosses you out.

Anyway... No recipes. But I'll try some of yours. I like porkchops. And tomatoes.

OMG..remember the discussion we had over at bon bons about spam...and how it really does bounce??Throw it on the floor and it will bounce...what kind of stuff is in a food product that will bounce...I'm not eating it,,,

You know, I've smoked for years, but I have the distinct feeling that one can of spam did more harm to my health than a few years of nicotine and tar did.

I'm gonna hurl now..................

I like to cut it into little pink shrimp shapes and serve it like shrimp cocktails...LOL

My wife and I shared some Spam pate' this afternoon.
We eat a lot of spam, I like it chipped up in my scrambled eggs. Julie will cook it up then make a gravy and crumble up the cooked spam into the gravey for Biscuits and Spam gravey.

When we have guest we will make a Spam lasagna that is delish. Or a simple baked spam with lemon and herd sauce.

Oh I'm getting hungrey now.

Im married to a chef so we eat simple at home and we eat out..ALOT!!...lol

Steve cooks up some wierd concotions sometimes.

such as..cmon..share

Oh my... You just *had* to ask, didn't you? Now she'll give us stories about a human variation of haggis. Tastes like chicken brains, or something.

Or Tripe.....oh YUK!!!

Well lets take about tonights dinner..
I was expecting some delicious chicken wings in a spicy tangy sauce yet Steve got out the flippin gravy mix and added that with some sesame oil and dark soy sauce..*erk* and threw in some cauliflower, carrot, beans and parsnip (I think) and slopped it all onto some fried rice.

So it ended up as something brown in a brown sauce on something brown. Not one of his best culinary masterpieces I dare say and it was just too salty for me so I had to appease my stomach by eating a big bowl of chocolate chip ice cream with mint chocolate sauce drizzled on top [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

He has this thing for adding gravy powder to his sauces right now and it just turns me off.

It is half of a loaf of french bread, semi hollowed out, covered in a pizza sause, filled with Hamburger & sasuage, grilled oinion, bell pepper, crushed red peppers and covered in Cheese...Mmmmm good (and no spam...LOL).

OMG didn't those eggs and steaks look yummy..I have the movie..and watch it all the time...

Hey Rog,
Go see Mummy in the mountains cause she is one of the best cooks EVER!!! My hunny can't wait to get back to her place just for her special homemade salad dressing !!!

That's uncanny! I always salivate over that part. It's almost as good as the flying cows bit. And I just fell in love with the nice lady with all her freaky storm-art.

I had not had a thing to eat or drink except for a few ice chips since Saturday night.
When they sent me home from the Hospital today I was wanting something solid in me belly...So...

I made Tacos and Man Did They Taste good.

Is that what that is??? I thought it was hash and I was trying to figure out why in the heck someone would put tomatoes on their hash...We went fishing last week and caught 11 bass. After filleting them we had about 15lbs worth of fish. Needless to say, they were batttered and deep fried. OMG I am so hungry now.

no offense..but damn..that looks like a gallbladder..LOL

Po'k chops, Boiled taters, stove top stuffing, creamed corn. Sliced red 'maters

Oh That sounds heavenly!!! I had mickie D's...YUK! Had to treat the little one though and I only do it every now and again!

Well I am glad you have your appetite back!!!
whats on the menu for today???

Oh Cherry_Pez, I never liked to go fishing, but I love when my friends would have big catfish frys.

They used to go to the Wabash river and "Hog" catfish, and about once a month, they would have a blow-out.

Some of the catfish they would pull out of that muddy river were 50+ pounds, so you can imagine the amount of fish we could put away.

catfish is my favorite next to redfish and drum..and sis stay away from mcdonalds...didn't you see "super size me"????..and elo you just made me hungry...you sound like a down home cook..

This beats the heck outa McDonalds fish fillet!

Mum, I told you before about my SEE FOOD DIET. If some one else will cook it, I'll eat it.
If I cook It I Will eat it.
I learned to cook from my mother, can't get much more down home than that.
