BarbecueMom Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Sandwiches, potato chips, and apples. Baseball practice and grocery shopping night. Sorry, that's probably not much help.

TCB Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Teriyaki chicken with lots of vegetables cooked in with it and rice. Very easy recipe for the crock pot but probably not helpful if you don't have crock pot time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greta Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I tried a new recipe for baby back ribs that my mom sent me. It was delish! Served it with roasted okra and cole slaw, but I think I must have forgotten an ingredient on my cole slaw dressing because it came out kind of bland. Luckily the ribs more than made up for it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, Americans do act really horrified by it, and yet there it is, on the shelf of every single grocery store I've ever been in. So somebody must be buying it! (And then pretending later that they'd never eat such a thing?) I vaguely remember liking it as a kid, but I don't think of it because I don't know what to do with it or how to prepare it. Maybe I should try what alisoncooks suggested! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Spam in so many different ways but rarely eat it. It is divine in Korean kimchi stew. I dream about it and salivate, but I'm a good girl and restrain myself. When I push my cart at Costco, I find myself slowing down in front of the six pack of Spam and try to rationalize reasons for buying so much of it. Alas, I cannot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about buying it a few times occasionally but then realized it's significatly more per pound than Costco's fresh spiral ham. If it was cheap, I'd probably get it a few times a year for the novelty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekland Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Last night we ate at Cook Out (fast food). FIL's decision. It's the second time we've been there. It's now become my least favorite place to eat fast food (sigh). I have no idea why it's so popular TBH. The flavors are awful. Hubby and I tried multiple things between the two times - burgers, dogs, chicken, BBQ, fries, onion rings, hush puppies, milkshakes, etc. The place is just not us. It seems to want to compete with Steak and Shake. I wish a Steak and Shake were nearby! Or that he'd pick pretty much anywhere else! Time will tell what tonight is. They eat out pretty much all the time. I'd have loved Spam... or pretty much anything else on this thread - except sushi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Last night was to be a family favorite, but after a long day it didn't happen. It'll be tonight, though: turkey, fresh mozzarella, and pesto panini served with a hearty tomato-basil soup. Light enough for spring, but sits well enough all night. Earlier this week we had:Roast chicken and root vegetables served with a cream-based chicken sauce Indoor bbq- baked beans w/smoked sausage, corn on the cob, watermelon, and homemade drop biscuits.

creekland Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Hush puppies and cheer wine floats. Mmmmmm. Last time we ate there, my stomach hurt for hours. I think I am getting too old for that much grease. I figure some folks need to like them. We just enjoy different flavors and textures. I really like my milkshakes able to be consumed with a straw - not the same texture and flavor as the ice milk desserts at many buffet chains like Ryans or Golden Corral. If I have to eat a milkshake with a spoon - even at the end of my meal - it's not a milkshake. FWIW, the absolute best hush puppies I've ever had have been at Bill's BBQ in Wilson, NC. There's not even a close second anywhere. Unfortunately, we're not in (or close to) Wilson. http://www.bills-bbq.com/ For fast food milkshakes, Chick Fil A wins, with Arby's Jamocha shake a close second. Steak and Shake beats both though. All for our tastes, of course. YMMV (and it's ok! ;) it's just not us! ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry about the tangent...DH and I lived in Wilson as newlyweds and ate there often.) Yes, that was a sad (nostalgic) day in hubby's life. He knew them fairly well - one of Bill's sons was a classmate. We eat there every time we're even remotely in the area (will drive out of our way if within 2-3 hours). Then we get some BBQ to go so we have a stockpile in our freezer until our next trip. Hushpuppies won't keep, so we can only eat them when there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinnia Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 We live in an area that doesn't serve hush puppies except with fish fries. But we loved NC bbq when we lived there. I think that's why I get excited about seeing them....even subpar ones. ;) Likewise with Cheerwine....it's a vacation treat, so to find it on a menu is super exciting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
