What's on the dinner table tonight?

[Kamily]

I made something similar to cabbage rolls, but they arent rolled up. I just throw everything in the crockpot and let it hang out for awhile. Also made some mexican cornbread with it.

I ordered some caviar from Amazon.com. Always wanted to try it, and I'm a firm believer in living each day if it was your last (as long as you have the cash on hand). Was about $15 for 2 cans. I put on my iHeart radio to Pavarotti & lit a candle. Had it with much-watered down vodka in sparkling water, as I'm not a fan of the pure stuff or straight martinis. Chocolate martinis, on the other hand, are yum. But they probably wouldn't go with caviar.

The rich people will probably frown on this as well as the fact it was canned, and the fact that I had it with triscuits. It goes really well with rosemary & olive oil triscuits.

If I save the 2nd can for my birthday in August in the fridge, will it go bad?

If the can is unopened, it will not go bad. Screw what people think. Eat (and drink) what you like. No need to be an expert.

So, what kind of caviar? Care to provide a link?

It was good. Comes in these little glass jars. I wouldn't eat it everyday, but I'm definitely saving the 2nd one for my birthday.

[Surlysomething]

Butter chicken with basmati rice.

Cooking right now!

[spiritangel]

Roast veggies, leftover roast chicken (I roasted it yesterday but did not do the veggies but at least the are chopped ready for the next couple of nights), and brown onion gravy

seriously contemplating making choc cake for dessert with chocolate ganash and whipped cream It has been a long time since I made something so decadent (would be first time making ganash)

[Mishty]

Roasted Cajun pork chops,baked rice,fried yellew squash & zucchini,Paula Deen's cheese on the cob(Soooo good!) cucumber salad and ice cold watermelon.

I love gardens sooo much.

[TwilightStarr]

Just made some baked chicken cordon bleu and some corn.

[EMH1701]

Leftover lasagna.

[Kamily]

We had hot dogs. UGH!!!

[ConnieLynn]

I had a sausage and biscuit left over from breakfast and a cinnamon roll left over from lunch. It's been a strange day.

In general I find Roland to be a dependable brand at a reasonable price. I've purchased their dried mushrooms and saffron for years.

I love to make deviled eggs with a dollop of cavier on top.

[MisticalMisty]

brown rice pilaf with chicken. It was delish!

[Lovelyone]

Macaroni goulash (which is basically macaroni, tomato soup, browned ground beef cooked with diced onion, salt and pepper to taste--and for me Parmesan cheese on top)

[ConnieLynn]

Just ordered pizza. It's way too hot to cook. Vodka and tonic while I wait on the delivery.

I like my golabki without sauce too but I make my own.

I make my own as well, usually when the cabbage is harvested - when I can get BIG heads - but I just had a crving for it.

My recipe is from the OLD country, came over with my great-grandmother from Poland.

LOL My 'old country Polish Grandma' who taught me is sitting about eight feet away. Doubtful the recipe has changed too much except for regional variations.

I learned at the feet of my grandmother and mother, my great-grandmother having long given up making them, though she did make her own pickles, sauerkraut, and horseradish until she was almost 90. The only change from the Poland receipe was the meat, using 2 parts good ground beef, 2 parts ground pork, and one part ground veal.

I have to remind her to teach me how to make horseradish! Thanks!

I use half beef/half pork, sometimes more pork for more flavor but I've used the trinity you mention too. Do you use rice or barley? I use rice.

I learned how to make pierogi when I was six. The first one I made was filthy because I forgot to wash my hands. LMAO That one didn't make it to the pot to boil.

Do you/her make sauerkraut with bacon and onions? oh god so good. She calls it kapusta which you probably know means cabbage even though that's not its real name so I call it kapusta anyway.

We use rice, boiled already and allowed to cool. We use an onion, too, knucklebusted OVER the meat so the juice gets in there as well.

Babci served her kraut either right out of the barrel and heated up, or with the red - beets added to it - heated up and onions added. She had this dish that most used sauerkraut but she used cabbage, halushki. Egg noodles, bacon, cabbage, onions, and butter butter and butter. The takeout had it, I grabbed some for us to try..my 5'7" 110 lbs 18 year old ate it ALL, and most of the cheddar, bacon, onion, and mashed potato pierogi.

butter butter and butter lol

I parboil my rice and do the same thing with the onion.

There are no Polski restaurants in my area. It was hard enough to find a non-vegetarian Indian one! BUT there is a Polish/Slavic deli about an hour and a half away. They don't do take-out but when I'm homesick, I buy some kielbasi and a sack of krowki caramels.

This is a luncheonette that's open a few times at night, serving Polish on Wednesday and Friday nights.
