AMJ Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 What is hash? Diced potatoes, sweet potatoes, or equivalent browned in a pan with onions, protein of choice, whatever veggies you have on hand and want to add, and seasoned to taste. One of my favorite meals, never the same twice (I tend to cook that way, apparently), and a great way to use up leftovers. DD12 really doesn't like potatoes except for fries and tater tots, so I usually bake up some tater tots to through into the hash I make for her. I find that my big fry pan usually makes enough for two of us at a time (when the hash is the main part of the meal or the complete meal), so I cook one batch for the kids and one for DH and me. Sometimes I'll make one lone batch for myself, and then I add in mushrooms, brussels sprouts, asparagus, or other veggies DH simply doesn't want to eat. I need to learn to cook artichokes better so I get a consistent doneness through the heart. I steam them right now, and by the time the leaves are ready the outside of the heart is getting mushy while the inside is still a little firm. If I can get artichokes right I will cook extras, get the kids to help me eat the leaves, and add the hearts to hash and other things. I'm just not fond of canned hearts or marinated hearts -- they leave some of the tougher parts of the inner leaves attached, and I don't like the canned flavor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the hopeful thought, AMJ, but it's supposed to warm up to the 40s and rain buckets. So the flood watches are back up for the weekend. Oh, and slide warnings.

AMJ Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I have been remiss. I have thought for several years that I have been to every state west of the Mississippi, but I'm no longer certain about Idaho. If I have been it was decades ago and just driving through the southern part. Since I can't even recall any of it I don't think that counts. *Adding Idaho to the must-visit list* 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I don't know that I've ever listened to Indie music. Or maybe I have. My bad memory about names doesn't just apply to human names. The problem with Indie music is that you get really mixed results when it comes to actual musical proficiency. So I switched over to listening to one Indie group called Midlake, that ds' music theory professor introduced us to. I really love their tight harmonies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Political vent: I basically got called a traitor for wanting to help the city to implement change. By the people wanting to implement the change. I pointed out that if you just view the city as adversaries, that of course they aren't going to want to change things. And it will go a lot farther if you suggest positive ways to implement change instead of just pointing out their failures and screaming at them. The person just could not see it. So I pointed out that I had the right as an individual to see things differently. But I'm willing to work with both sides. Because that is my philosophy of " how to get things done". 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
