Once again only three for dinner. Soy, a little teriyaki, a sprinkle of garlic powder, salt, pepper and a little ollive oil make the perfect marinade. Stir and pour over the chicken in a bowl then let sit for about 30 min, turning every few minutes. Dump all into a glass baking dish and turn the... Sign in to see full entry.

table for three: chicken and rice with savory gravy

It is easy enough to fix: sear the chicken good on both sides in the electric skillet in extra light-tasting olive oil, seasoning with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Saute some purple onions in butter until just slightly brown and add to the pan. Hit it good with red wine vinegar or white wine, add... Sign in to see full entry.

hot dogs and baked beans

There's nothing like a good old fashioned simple meal to satisfy everyone. Two cans of baked beans and two packs of oscar myer weiners, fried and cut up. Season the beans with molasses, sugar, ketchup, a touch of mustard and some sauteed onions. Toast up a bag of tater tots and you're all set. No... Sign in to see full entry.

crazy casseroles

Sometimes you never know what you're going to get for supper around here. Not because there might not be supper - there is always supper. Its just that when Mr. Rabbit cooks, its anyone's guess what's going into the pot. He is always trying something different. Usually there is cheese, some sort of... Sign in to see full entry.

spaghetti, staggering and chemicals

Spaghetti was awesome! But only two ate in the kitchen due to people still being scattered here and there. The cleaning began, with Tim on dishes. Mark came in, took out the leftover spaghetti, warmed up a plate. Then Hannah, the final straggler came in, warmed up a plate but never did eat it. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Calm before the storm?

The kitchen has been very quiet today. Only my husband and I ate breakfast but what a glorious breakfast it was! Delicious yellow grits, fried livermush and eggs over easy. From there we proceeded with the coffee ritual. Yes it is a ritual. We have our coffee in the room, each of us in our... Sign in to see full entry.

Today's food adventures

With this being the weekend, and two of the kids being gone, things are a little quieter. This morning there were no eggs, which is usually a big disappointment on a Saturday. However, we did have eggs yesterday, so it was no great loss. Yellow grits and brown sugar oatmeal were served with butter... Sign in to see full entry.
