Hi
I'm back from walking again and No cents. The temperature this morning was 41 on the porch and 40 on the cable news channel. The high temperature today is supposed to be 60. It was raining hard when I left for my daily walk and it rained Hard and lightly while I was walking. I did wear a complete set of rain gear except for my feet. I have a spare pair of shoes I can use tomorrow while today's dry out

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »
I did use the microwave grill(s) for dinner last night. The veggies were done in two batches in the round grill and my chicken was done in the rectangular grill, so there were three separate grillings done in the microwave. First I grilled the carrots and bell peppers, put them in a bowl, and set them in the oven to stay warm at 170 while grilling the mushrooms and zucchini, which then joined the other veggies in the bowl in the oven while I grilled the chicken breast. Of course while all this was going on, the potatoes were easy to make during other intervals.Hi Ed
I was wondering if You used the Microwave Grill plate since the grill marks are so light.
The Meal does look really tasty.
I was given a delayed delivery bottle of Dante Robino Malbec 2016 from Mendoza, Argentina, Not being a wine connoisseur I have no idea if it will be good, Meh or bad
As you can see, J got about twice as much of the potatoes and veggies and I had just enough to complement my tasty chicken breast, so this was one of those nights where I didn't make two completely separate meals.
I am not familiar with that PARTICULAR Malbec, but do like Malbec in general and it's near the top of my favorite red wine varietals. It's a dry red that goes well with just about anything and is also quite nice just for sipping on it's own. Serve at, or slightly below, room temperature to get the best flavor.
It sounds as if You were cooking dinner for a while. I wonder if a Grilling pan that sits on two burners would work better or if the splattering would be a pain in the neck.
Thank You for the feedback on the wine. In general I am not a drinking person
It would appear that Your weather is quite different than ours for Tuesday...parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
45 out there now with an expected high of 52 and no chance of precipitation.
Lilo has been shot, and we've all been fed. Well, not J as he doesn't generally eat breakfast. He might have breakfast for lunch or dinner, but usually nothing in the early morning.
Need to get out to the grocery for a few things.
Yours is cooler and dry and ours is wet and warmer, There was a fair amount of fog around the state earlier.
Good Luck with the shopping

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Quick Hi!
Burnt ole middle finger on my left hand yesterday cleaning up after dinner.
PUBLIC SAFTY NOTICE:
Do NOT after cleaning your cast iron skillet and setting it on a high gas heat burner use a pot holder to set skillet in the oven and then bare handed pick up stove grate. (to get at a couple bread crumbs on the burner liner)
Talk about not thinking! Lost in a fog...all damn day. (why? later) It is a quick release method I suppose. Not badly burned, immediately put all left hand fingers in cool water for about 5 minutes. WHY an all day fog? Hmmmm. Took me awhile to put 2+2 together..but here it is.
I had Sesame Chicken and Broccoli Saturday evening...the 'chicken' came from the 'mock meat' section of the menu. Everybody raves about their Sesame Chicken....so it turned out to be delicious, but it was seitan 'meat'. Meaning flour boiled leaving the gluten strands that are then shaped and cooked. WHO can't eat gluten??? Oh Yes I Did. That has happened once before, after eating English Muffins for several days straight...
Oh, well..could have been much worse!
I suppose it could have been worse, You could have had the side effects and poor tasting food
Did the Cool water do the trick ?I got lost in the internet this morning...found a great new vegan and GLUTEN FREE web site! Fell into the reading recipe's hole and barely made it out! Finally tore myself out of the C**G website and knew if I didn't come here directly I'd not make it....
Quite cloudy/overcast. The rain isn't supposed to start until 4-5p. and its gonna be or near be 60 today...but not sure its going to be car washing weather. Will stick my nose out about 2p. and see what I think.
Dinner for you and J looked great Ed. I'd eat with J of course. And the jokes, etc were all good...that poor bird...I'd seen that meme before but I couldn't see what was really happening...it just looked like the ball had exploded. Nope!!!
Not that I like heights or cold weather but you'd have to bribe me with enough money to be richer than Bill Gates to make me climb that stalactite!!! YIKES!
Later...
Who does not fall into the Internet and not resurface for a while ?
I had to reset things this morning to get the internet working on this computer, it is the only one connected wirelessly.
Poor bird, bad Timing for sure. Since I am afraid of heights I would not be climbing that either.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Ed
It sounds as if You were cooking dinner for a while. I wonder if a Grilling pan that sits on two burners would work better or if the splattering would be a pain in the neck.
That is exactly the reason I rarely use a stovetop grill/griddle. Maybe grilled cheese sandwiches on the stovetop, as there's really no spatter issue there. It's also rare for me to fry chicken (or anything else that spatters a lot) because I hate cleaning up that mess.
I'm sure I could get similar results from a stove top grill/griddle, especially if I get one with the ridging, which could give lovely grill marks and keep me from having the food sit in its own juices, to some extent anyway. But spatter. And then the separation of meats and veggies would be less pure, since it would be all one surface and I'd have to clean it between items. Even if I had two, the meat could spatter onto the veggies if I was cooking both at the same time.
Overall cooking time wasn't bad at all, as the microwave grills cook food very quickly. The carrots were baby carrots so they were ready to roll, and it doesn't take me long to chop up a bell pepper. The mushrooms were already sliced, but again, how long does that take? I could have sliced portabellas about as quickly as taking them out of the box, and zucchini is a quick slice as well.
Preheat for the veggies was about 2 minutes and cook time wasn't long at all. Preheat for the chicken was 3 minutes and cook time was 4 1/2 minutes total on the chicken, with a 5 minute standing time. And of course the mashed potatoes were being prepared simultaneously while other things were cooking and standing. All told, maybe 20/30 minutes plus cleanup later, but cleanup was also only about 5 minutes.Thank You for the feedback on the wine. In general I am not a drinking person
I'm sure you will enjoy the wine.

Good Morning
I watch a some of the Cooking contest shows and they do seem to get grill marks from the stove top grills, OTOH I am sure that the contestants do not do the cleaning afterwards.
The last time I did a Grilled Cheese I use my Brothers Cast Iron Skillet, Put a dab of butter in first and then the sandwich with a pan of water sitting on it to get that nice crunchy crust.
I had forgotten that they meat juices can not hit the vegetables
I have seen them using large Portabellas as a bun replacement in those contests too. Not to mention Cauliflower steaks grilled.
Anyway, Have a Good Day
Roger
Hi Valerie0 -
Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 35 out there now with an expected high of 51 and no chance of precipitation.
Might get some laundry done today and there are a couple of things I could buy if I decide to go out. I do want to take a nap, if my nap buddies will cooperate. Yesterday, Kiara and Lilo kept wrestling on the bed instead of just napping with me. Dinah even came by to say hello, but that was right at the beginning, and then she wandered off to the living room. Dinah doesn't usually nap with me, though she did the first day she was out in general population.
Val, I found some nice Guacamole at Aldi yesterday and we ate some as part of our dinner nachos last night. There are two packets in the box so we can have it again another night without having half of it sitting around turning brown and gross. If you haven't tried the Guacamole there, you might want to give it a try. We got the HOT version but there is a mild version too.
Tonight I should really grill some more veggies.
For part of my breakfast, I microwave grilled a couple of all beef wieners. I didn't get them as dark as I really like, but they did have lovely grill marks on them. This was the first time for wieners, so maybe next time I'll give them a bit longer to up the darkness and outside crispiness. Still pleased with the grill so far. I bought some Polska Kielbasa and some smoked sausage to try in it, and some 85/15 preformed, frozen hamburger patties too. Looking forward to seeing how those all come out in the microwave grill! I haven't seen the "right" pork chops for it yet. The ones I did see were far thicker than I normally eat. I could have cut them down, I suppose, but that's a bit tricky and I would tend to get them uneven then. I'll keep looking. also, of course, I haven't yet seen any nice lamb chops in the "used' meat section so haven't got anything but lamb burgers to possibly try in there. Lamb burgers are good, but are pretty lean and hard to get just right without drying them out.
Need to get the pigs slopped.

Quick Hello...
There was a lot to read this morning...at least double the normal...and then I realized I must have been MIA yesterday. Sorry.
Yesterday...went with M to get her new glasses. Then we lunched at R Thomas..delightful as always... home. Jack called, then my brother called...he and Rose may be going to the beach with me...he'll let me know today or at least this week...
I had a hearing appt scheduled with Tyler, but they called today and could I switch my day to Friday...'Yes I could'...someone needed hearing test for work..today! Curious where she worked? I've had to take dexterity tests, colorblindness tests, etc...but never a hearing test. Not a bad idea though.
Ed...hope you waited to go to Aldi until today...the new sale has some nice fruit, meat, etc on sale this week. They also had an interesting sounding red wine...from Argentina I think...you can pull up their ad online and have a look.
Read a recipe in my mail box today...for Sesame Chicken Bowl...sub the word TOFU for chicken and that may well be my dinner or lunch! With all the talk about grilling I may drag out my range top grill, or even the electric one and grill the tofu. Hmmm might be worth the hassle
Or, I could use my grill pan and use the actual gas grill...shouldn't be too cold, depending on the wind factor.
The pix were all great...loved the baby hugging the 3 puppies was especially adorable!
Interesting Roger that you don't like heights either...I surely don't. Ed...are you a climber??? or are you 'earth bound' like me and Roger??
Ok...off to the kitchen...my cup of decaf is almost gone, and not enough to reheat, so I need to make a pot of tea, and clean up the kitchen. I could also pay a few bills, and I need to contact the good folks that manage my 401K from work, and request my "minimum distribution" which I really don't WANT, but am forced to take every year. Oh well....

For lunch today I grilled beef patties in my rectangular microwave grill. Two of the particular frozen patties that I bought barely squeezed into the pan, but I did get them both in. After the first side was cooked and they had compressed themselves into smaller patties, there was not any difficulty at all in turning them. Beautiful grill marks and, again, if I hadn't cooked them myself I wouldn't have thought they were cooked in a microwave oven.
Cleanup was quick and easy. Nice to be able to grill for lunch with such an easy clean up too!

If I said I also like deep fried Hot Dogs, All Beef naturally.
The Hillshire brand Kielbasa is a popular brand around here and they are pretty tasty. I do wonder how well frozen hamburgers would grill.
I can buy thin cut Pork Chops in the grocery stores around here and they are a quick cook. We also have some 4 ounce frozen pork chops in the freezer that came from the store already individually packed in a nice thick vacuum sealed package.
I was wondering if the burgers splattered the inside of the Microwave ? I tend to cover things that might splatter with a paper towel.parityanimal wrote: »For lunch today I grilled beef patties in my rectangular microwave grill.

I could pull out the George Foreman Grill thing that my brother brought with him. He claims it is a easy cleanup
I guess there is no choice so why not enjoy the 401K money.
The gas and electric bill that came was as bad as I had expected it would be due to the very cold weather, $139 higher than the previous months bill, I may have to pull some money out of my small savings account if another bill comes in before February 14

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 30 out there now with an expected high of 56 0% chance of precipitation.
Still might get some laundry done soon. Might get out the door at some point today too, to pick up a few things. Lilo is almost out of her pumpkin supplement for her canned food.
I've eaten and the pigs ... er cats... will be fed shortly.Hi Ed

Hillshire brand is popular around here too. I used to see a lot of advertising for them but since I don't watch much television (at least not with commercials) and really skim past most of the advertising online and in my few print magazines, I haven't really noticed so much lately.
We also have thin pork chops available, and I'm sure I could have had the butcher at Kroger thin slice some for me, but I was just looking at the "used" meat section for bargains. They had some chops, but they were over an inch thick. Probably would have been great, but I don't need to eat a chop that big! I generally prefer half an inch or so for grilled, and the quarter inch thin are great for a quick breakfast chop. I suppose I could have cooked one of the huge ones and then cut it in half for two meals. But they were also pre-seasoned. Some of the pre-seasoned stuff they sell there is quite nice, but some isn't really seasoned to my taste and you can't know until you cook it and eat it. I'd generally rather season my own.
My burger patties were done from frozen. The package said not to thaw them, so I didn't. I was quite pleased with the results, overall. Not dried out, and quite tasty. Served on low carb, high fiber 100% whole grain bread with only 40 calories per slice, so two slices of bread wasn't a major carb hit at all, and only one carb serving.
Nothing splatters the microwave oven when using the grills. A minor bit of splatter while turning the food or putting it in, but it's not IN the microwave while I'm doing that. Then the ceramic over metal dome cover goes on and is on the grill the entire time it's in the microwave, so any splatter gets caught on the underside of the dome cover. It easily washes off the cover with mild soap and a soft sponge.
As mentioned, once you remove the grill to the stove top, and uncover it, there may still be some splattering going on but it's not nearly as bad as if you'd cooked it the entire time on the stove top, uncovered.
Last night Eduardo invented a sort of fajita enchilada casserole. A little red enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Grilled bell peppers, onions, and zucchini, with hot pepper jack cheese sprinkled on, sandwiched between two layers of soft corn tortillas, topped with the rest of the enchilada sauce and a hearty sprinkle of colby jack cheese, then baked at 350 for half an hour until the cheese was golden brown.
The veggies were prepared fajita style, but fajitas use flour tortillas, so I decided instead of rolling up anything, I'd just casserole it all with corn tortillas, plenty of cheese, and enchilada sauce, and the end result was quite nice. J loved it and so did I.
Well, let's find some interesting and/or funny videos...

Still might get some laundry done soon. Might get out the door at some point today too, to pick up a few things. Lilo is almost out of her pumpkin supplement for her canned food.
I've eaten and the pigs ... er cats... will be fed shortly.
Hillshire brand is popular around here too. I used to see a lot of advertising for them but since I don't watch much television (at least not with commercials) and really skim past most of the advertising online and in my few print magazines, I haven't really noticed so much lately.
We also have thin pork chops available, and I'm sure I could have had the butcher at Kroger thin slice some for me, but I was just looking at the "used" meat section for bargains. They had some chops, but they were over an inch thick. Probably would have been great, but I don't need to eat a chop that big! I generally prefer half an inch or so for grilled, and the quarter inch thin are great for a quick breakfast chop. I suppose I could have cooked one of the huge ones and then cut it in half for two meals. But they were also pre-seasoned. Some of the pre-seasoned stuff they sell there is quite nice, but some isn't really seasoned to my taste and you can't know until you cook it and eat it. I'd generally rather season my own.
My burger patties were done from frozen. The package said not to thaw them, so I didn't. I was quite pleased with the results, overall. Not dried out, and quite tasty. Served on low carb, high fiber 100% whole grain bread with only 40 calories per slice, so two slices of bread wasn't a major carb hit at all, and only one carb serving.
I rarely watch commercial too, I tend to jump past them using the 30 second forward skip in the DVR and if I overshoot I can jump back in 10 second increments.
I would not be interested in buying seasoned chops either.
I have a suspicion that Burger package said not to defrost to help keep them moist.
That is pretty much the specs for the bread I use too, It is available in Wheat, Italian and White Bread types. I use two slices a day with protein for my midmorning snack in a sandwich.
I had not realized that the grills had a coverNothing splatters the microwave oven when using the grills. A minor bit of splatter while turning the food or putting it in, but it's not IN the microwave while I'm doing that. Then the ceramic over metal dome cover goes on and is on the grill the entire time it's in the microwave, so any splatter gets caught on the underside of the dome cover. It easily washes off the cover with mild soap and a soft sponge.
As mentioned, once you remove the grill to the stove top, and uncover it, there may still be some splattering going on but it's not nearly as bad as if you'd cooked it the entire time on the stove top, uncovered.
Last night Eduardo invented a sort of fajita enchilada casserole. A little red enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Grilled bell peppers, onions, and zucchini, with hot pepper jack cheese sprinkled on, sandwiched between two layers of soft corn tortillas, topped with the rest of the enchilada sauce and a hearty sprinkle of colby jack cheese, then baked at 350 for half an hour until the cheese was golden brown.
The veggies were prepared fajita style, but fajitas use flour tortillas, so I decided instead of rolling up anything, I'd just casserole it all with corn tortillas, plenty of cheese, and enchilada sauce, and the end result was quite nice. J loved it and so did I.
Well, let's find some interesting and/or funny videos...
I suspect that I would use a paper towel under the grill before uncovering it.
Have a Nice Day

THAT CAT! Yikes! Spring needs to hurry along is all I'm gonna say.
Curious question... why all beef hot dogs? That seems to be the "gold standard"?? All the grilling is making me hungry for something hot off the grill.
Tired already so will close my eyes and be asleep almost before my heat hits my pillow! See you much later today
Hi Valerie
Somebody was up late
If I said I prefer All beef Hot Dog's taste. The other reason is detailed in the next two links.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanically_separated_meat
Mechanically separated meat
And from here:
https://www.theinsidetrainer.com/6174/mechanically-separated-meat/
Mechanically separated beef and Mad Cow Disease
The USDA also states “Due to FSIS regulations enacted in 2004 to protect consumers against Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, mechanically separated beef is considered inedible and is prohibited for use as human food.”
In 2004
The rules regarding hot dogs and mechanical deboning of beef
According to the USDA website – Mechanically deboned beef is not permitted in hot dogs or any other processed product. Mechanically separated pork is permitted and must be labeled as “mechanically separated pork” in the ingredients statement.
Thus I prefer All Beef Hot Dogs.
Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 31 out there now with an expected high of 56 and no chance of precipitation.
Dishwasher has been cleared, followed by sink being cleared, all of that preceded by me having breakfast. Still working on my first mug of tea.
Lilo is loafing next to me on the desk (making a "catloaf" actually - can't see her feet) and Dinah is in J's computer chair. When last seen, Kiara was lounging on the kitchen table.
If I thought I could actually train them to stay off the table, I would, but, being cats, all they would learn is to try not to get caught on the kitchen table and they'd probably make more of a mess or disaster in their hurry to not get caught than if I just teach them that they need to stay off it when people are actually sitting there eating.
So they are not allowed on the table when people are eating, but otherwise, it's allowed. I don't ever have food on the table unless I'm eating either! I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid!
OK. Took a brief break from typing because Lilo asked for breakfast. She didn't eat as much yesterday as she should have (I don't think she particularly likes the flavor of canned food they had yesterday) and was hungry so I fed them a bit earlier today than I usually do.
Today is one of her favorites so I expect she'll eat all of it and then want some kibble later. She did eat most of her kibble yesterday, but I didn't give her very much, trying to encourage her to eat more canned food when it's available. But I think I'll buy some special flavors for her when I'm giving the others the flavor I gave yesterday. That way she won't have to eat any of it if she really doesn't like it. It's not the first time she's been kind of "bleah" about that flavor, so why force it on her? She's 15 years old and has a right to expect food that she actually likes, after all, rather than food that she's only so-so about.
