That's why there are Food Savers. Make a potroast, portion it into 4-6-ounce
portions and Food Save in the freezer for months.

That was very unfortunate for them in their twilight years.

> Mashed potato with butter and chicken gravy

I know haggis, but what, pray tell, are neeps and tatties? Might tatties be
potatoes?
 
> Yoghurt and (any) stewed fruit
 
My mother made her wonderful fruit compote for Christmas, which I've enjoyed
with whipped cream--something I normally detest. But, my fiancee spikes up her
cream with vanilla, cardamom, ginger and sweetener. It's the perfect foil for
the astringent compote with stewed fruits and lemons.
 
> Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon
 
No salmon in any form for me, thanks. It's just too damn fishy.
 
> Rice pudding with jam
 
I adore rice pudding, especially if the rice has been soaked or if rice flour
is used. It's especially delicious with raisins, pistachios, almonds, cinnamon
and vanilla. Palm or raw sugar enhances its flavor immeasurably.
However, rice pudding would be way too high-carb for Joe's post-bariatric
convalescence.
 
> Curried lentils with spinach and rice
 
That's my language! Although, post-sleeve, I've almost exclusively switched
from white to brown rice and quinoa, I can't entirely eliminate it; it's my
Hispanic provenance.
 
> Baked flaked white fish with mushy peas and grilled tomato
 
> Mashed banana with maple syrup
 
I might try that, especially if the fish is well-seasoned with cumin and black
or coconut vinegar.
 
> Cauliflower in cheese sauce
 
Oh no! Roasted cauliflower always wins hands down. I also harbor particular
distaste toward all cheese sauces and most melted cheese in general.
 
Egg custard
> risotto
 
Again, not low-carb and high-protein enough for Joe's situation, but very
satisfying.
 
> Raw oysters
 
I much prefer them cooked, since no one actually chews raw oysters. Give me
oyster stew or oyster poboys any day.

Rutabagas (sometimes called wax turnips or yellow turnips) and potatoes.

For me: oyster stew and even better, battered and fried whole oysters. yum

Younger generations? Julie is 61. You appear to be assuming Julie's
"new guy" is a lot younger than she is.

It's somewhat amusing the way she says things repeatedly and later tries

Carol, are you nuts or totally niaeve? Part time delivery drivers who
only work when they feel like it (might want to visit Julie instead!)
aren't being offered offered healthcare benefits, sick time or vacation
days so they can drop in and heat up crappy food in Julie's microwave.
During a pandemic lockdown. Even though he has his own place to live
and at least (as far as we know) a rice pot.
 
Her last boyfriend was allegedly allergic to cats and also couldn't come
over because of the lockdown. Now this new guy can come in and use the
microwave and hey, he's not allergic to cats. You can't see this for
what it is?

Please do tell her about it, Silvar.
 
I would love to see some of those Tanzania recipes. The only African
food I've had was some really nice homemade Ethoipian Injera bread with
a nicely spiced lamb and vegetable stew. Delicious!
 
Julie is trying to impress someonw she barely knows. Her last
"boyfriend" was allergic to cats. This is a new guy. Gotta wonder
where she's finding them during a pandemic lockdown.

Are you thinking of Chatty Cathy? The woman who participated in chat
and used to post fun RFC survey questions here? She wasn't "African".

I've had Ethiopian lunch here a few times. Generally known as "fasting"
here in Virginia.

Indeed. That was about a third of the toppings available. I'd like to see
what everything on it looks like. I had mine with a pesto on the bottom. My
son had a more restrained pizza. Perhaps this is the future of pizza.

From our buffalo, of course. Actually never heard of using buffalo

I doubt you "sauteed" the pork tenderloin.

Saute.... to fry quickly in a little oil... works for me.
 
I have sauteed medallions of pork tenderloin and then made various bream
sauces. Two of the more memorable ones were one with mushrooms and
another with curry and chopped dried apricot.

Maybe if it was sliced very thin?
 
I've never looked up the official definition but in my mind, it's
something cooked for a short time, in a bit of oil over low or medium
heat. Not necessarily finished but at least softened and partially cooked.

What's with the two overcooked dinner rolls on your cutting board right
next to the raw meat? Did you add them for fun with picture?

"NOT TELLING WHERE!" translates to you'll be telling where before you
bust a gut... we all know that you are incapable of keeping any of
your personal business private. As soon as they check you out and
discover your potty mouth there'll be no nursing job, not even
cleaning potties. I hope you can control yourself and keep this
job... try to remember that employment is not about you, it's about
the employer. You already started off on the wrong foot by announcing
that you got a job, no one needed to know or cares. Be smart and
blend into the woodwork... always remember that loose lips sink ships.
You'd be wise to make all your posts on topic, food/cooking.
This morning I put up my 16 quart pot of yellow split pea soup, slowly
simmering with that big meaty Christmas ham bone: 3 LBS peas washed, 4
lge carrots diced, 4 ribs celery diced, 4 med spuds diced, 1 sweet
onion diced, 4 packets Goya bouillion; 2 chicken, 2 ham, fresh ground
black pepper, 4 bay leaves, tastes and looks good. Soon I'll ladle
into containers for the freezer. Guess what's for dinner.

Yep. It's not as if Trump had admirable personal traits and an
unblemished public image going into his first presidential election, but
he got enough votes to win the election. After a clusterfuck of a
presidency, he still had 74 million people supporting him. I suppose
that can be explained by the left hand side of the Bell Curve.

Strangely, some of his partisans are quite intelligent. They like tax breaks
for the rich, "owning" the liberals, and not paying for other people's health
care. Trump didn't do as well as promised on that last one.

What I *really* liked about Trump's tenure was US energy independence, exiting the fraught Paris Climate and Iran "deals", shaming certain NATO allies into paying their fair share of defense costs, the First Step Act, solid diplomatic accomplishments in the Middle East (remember the SHOCK when Trump moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem, lol!)...let's not forget his economic policies encouraged a very good employment climate, including near - record low unemployment for minorities...OH, and swift implementation of Operation Warp Speed...
 
Heck, an increasing number of those stupid blacks, Hispanics, and LGBTQA's even voted for him in 2020...AMAZING, ain't it, Cindy...???

Don't be suprised that if by now that white meat turkey is green meat
turkey, and hairy. I'd not want a schtinkin' frozen turkey dinner,
I'd much rather go to a deli and buy a 1/2 pound of Boars Head turkey,
makes great sammiches, with mayo, lettuce, tomato. While at the deli
you may decide on German tater salad instead of mashed... and get a
big garlic dill pickle. Then all you'd need is an ice cold Docter
Brown's Cel-Rey.
