What are you eating today?

[Ky hills]

Late dinner today, grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, with kraut, fried taters and gluten free lemon cake for dessert.

Came across Blue Bell Lemon ice cream the other day at the grocery.
Many years ago, as young child lemon custard ice cream was my favorite, but then it wasn't available anywhere that I knew of, so after a forty some year lemon custard ice cream drought, I had to try it. It did not disappoint.

I asked my wife what she wanted for Mother's Day. She's an easy keeper, so she said "cook supper". I always cook supper for her on Mother's Day, so I asked again and she said "okay, cook supper for a week"

We had a "dip" luncheon yesterday here at work. All 4 of the agencies joined in (sounds big, but there is only about 6-10 people per agency here, so relatively small group. Lots of good "dips", but this one was great if you like cream cheese, chocolate and oranges. Don't make it without the orange.

Cannoli Dip

1 8oz block of cream cheese
¼ cup heavy cream
¾ cup of ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon of vanilla (I think? I didn't really measure)
¾ cup powdered sugar
Zest of one orange
½ cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips (I didn't measure these either)

Basically, just mix it all together and it's done.

You're making me hungry, and I just ate
My wife made spicy chicken noodle stuff. I don't care for chicken anything, probably because I was raised on it and got burned out.
But I spiced it up a bit more with some of her garden fresh pico de gallo with crushed red pepper. I didn't get a picture, and probably not photo worthy next time I see it

We had chicken Alfredo something or other from Fazolis for dinner.
My mother wouldn't eat chicken, she helped her mother dress so many of them when she was young to sell to groceries it turned them both against chicken.

My wife and kids and grandkids love chicken, but I have a hard time getting past the memories of yardbird casseroles from my childhood.

Except for ground and brisket parts, I don't think I had beef until I was old enough to buy my own steak (I still remember my first medium rare ribeye when I was 17yo on a road/job trip).

I also worked in a chicken house gathering eggs and part of my pay was eggs. It's just been about 10 years ago that I started eating eggs again.

We did have pork pretty regular, but not enough for burn out. I still love good bacon, ham, sausage……but when I think about momma's fried chicken, I've never found a chicken that taste like chicken used to taste. Maybe my taste buds have aged.

Yeah, my mother and my grandmother on my fathers side could both flat out fry chicken, though my my mother wouldn't eat it she'd fix it for the rest of us.
The only thing at she'd eat chicken was chicken salad out of baked chicken.
Being from the Appalachian region of KY,
pork was the main meat for many people.
My mother said they hardly ever ate any beef when she was at home, just mainly pork, vegetables, and occasionally fish.
My wife won't hardly eat pork, other than ham, sausage and bacon, but will fry pork chops for me. I'll grill pork chops too.
We do what you did the other day a lot, I'll grill 2-3 days worth of hamburgers, steak or pork chops.

I had a friend raise in southern Nevada. His mother was a full blood Navajo Indian. He said growing up his favorite meat was in this order.
1. The neighbor's beef (implied that it wasn't purchased)
2. Venison
3. Wild burro
4. Mutton
Said he ate a lot of mutton and hated it.

I don't care much for chicken. There is a reason they are called fowl.

I'm not a big fan of it either, but I'll take chicken over sheep meat any day of the week. The longer I chew it the bigger it gets.

Growing up I don't ever remember having any mutton. Mom grew up on mutton, and she didn't like it. I don't remember us ever having any lamb either. Lamb is not bad if cooked right; most people don't know how to cook it.

One time when dad's family was living in Nebraska they lived near the Indian Reservation and one time dad help fix one guys car. They kept saying nice fat puppy, one day puppy disappeared. Dad was pretty sure that they ate him.
