What's for Dinner?

We have some wild Alaskan Sockeye salmon grilling in the oven right now, with it we're having some boiled Yukon-Gold potatoes topped with Smart Balance, light olive oil, salt, pepper, turmeric, chives and parsley.

SALMON! Have enjoyed delicious salmon straight out of the bay onto the grill many times and it cannot be beat. Yummy!

Gone and forgotten. Put her big fat foot in her big fat mouth and is now a media pariah. Don't think she'll pull this one outta the fire...

I don't even know exactly what she did, That Guy. I like to wait until the noise dies down, and then see what really was done or said - can't believe everything we hear.
 

Sorry....more 'noise'. Have you listened to some of the lyrics in rap music, That Guy?? That word is used all the time with no static about it. There is more hype over this than the rants by Mel Gibson some time ago. What about the terms used for women, that they don't seem to object to anymore?? Not a word from the NOW movement, either. I hate it myself, and would hope some of us deserve more respect than that.

And then, the usual references to her being 'fat'. It's not so unusual to see Americans with weight problems and diabetes, but say something that's racist, and you're down.



ETA: Sorry this ended up on the what's for dinner thread; not the place for it.
 
I'm not a fan of Paula Deen, but I think she's getting hit pretty hard for this, something that was said years ago, and not in a public forum. I feel bad for her, but she's very wealthy and successful, and this won't affect her very much financially...like it might with someone else. I give her credit for not lying about it when asked also.

Tonight we had organic whole wheat spaghetti with a red sauce. :moon:
 
Made some good looking snow-crab legs tonight, I had mine with melted butter, and hubby switched back and forth from butter to cocktail sauce...side was French bread.
 
Mmmm...crabs are one of my favorites. We don't do them anymore since hubby developed an allergy to shellfish that almost took him out after one of our feasts. King or Dungeness was our choice. Being from the west coast we were spoiled with good seafood.
 
Sorry to hear your hubby is allergic, I understand the reaction to shellfish can be deadly for some. :eek: We used to go crabbing with my father on Long Island on our summer vacations. We did it after dark off of a dock, using flashlights and long-handled nets. I didn't like to eat crabs at the time, but my family enjoyed the bushel full we took home, mostly blue-claws. I got a kick out of luring the crab with the light, and if you shined it right on the crab they would get spooked and go deeper. My Dad taught me a lot, and we had some good times when I was a young child. :love_heart:

My day to cook. I'm having purple hull peas seasoned with bacon, fried okra, cornbread, and slices of fresh tomatoes and onions.

MMM: what time is dinner?? :D

I don't care for okra; the slippery texture is just strange - but, I'd eat it anyway if it's healthy. I never had beans & cornbread until we moved to MO. Didn't sound good, but we were invited to a 'good old fashioned Southern supper', and thought, why not try it?? We loved it, and now fix it whenever we get the craving. Hubby likes a little jalapeno in the cornbread, and I like to add it to the beans.
 
Hubby makes a mean Gumbo with okra in it, it's all gooood! :D Tonight just picked up a pizza and had that for dinner.
 
Tonight we had bacon (nitrate-free), tomato and sweet onion sandwiches with mayo, on Orowheat Oatnut bread toasted. :wiggle:

Coleman seems to be the best tasting brand. It is pricey, up to $5.99 a pound package here in my neck of the woods, but we rarely have bacon, so it's worth a couple more bucks to us. Most big supermarkets carry it like Krogers, Albertson's, etc.
