What's for dinner?

Lol.....unless you wilt good lettuce with bacon grease then it's the bacon grease that's the unhealthy part.....I've never tried poke sallet although I've heard about it since I was a kid.

Definitely, lettuce, green onions, bacon, good dose of bacon drippings and vinegar. Well the greens were healthy at one time.

Poke sallet was a favorite of my grandmothers she taught me how to wash it right. One thing I have always loved are green vegetables. Collard, mustard, turnip with plenty of potlikker which someone did send me a message asking what it is.

Absolutely, funny how my mom and aunt growing up on a farm never were taught how to cook anything, but granny had the comment she didn't have time to try and teach and then clean up the mess. Once us grandkids came out not a big deal so we learned how to make all those things. Things like fatback or salt pork with beans and cornbread and bring out the chow chow, someone thought I was talking about eating a big hairy dog. LOL

Lol, my mother wouldn't let me near the kitchen and she was known for her cooking. It was about it being one of her domains. I married Lusiana country for a time when I was a teenager and got introduced to homemade chow chows and boudin and how to cook greens the right way. Texas cornbread is still the best though.

That and how much uses for lard, both as an ingredient or to fry with or make lye soap with. Whenever I see the diner breakfast scene in My Cousin Vinny when the cook scoops out a huge chunk of the lard I admit to having the same brand of the stuff and quite a bit of it here.

It's also one of the funniest scenes in a very funny movie to me...the whole grits scene, lol.
I think I'll buy some lard and try my hand at using it and see what happens, maybe some biscuits...

It is great for making cathead biscuits, home made rolls and frying just about any type of meat you prefer, and the heavy, well seasoned and decades old cast iron skillet is a must for meats. I inherited a few of those things from earlier generations. For me it is fun to think that my grandmother taught me to make chicken fried steak at age 10 or so in the skillet I use to this day.

A burger, fries with ranch, and fried cheese curds with honey mustard. Then I had some of those mocha-flavored Kit Kats for the first time (I'd been wanting to try them but had never seen them in a store before today.)

Pizza and beer.

 

[Baywasp]

Soy garlic tofu, glass noodles, salad, and seasoned soybean sprouts.

[Pebble mouse]

This is really bad, considering I'm meant to be on a diet, but... pizza and chocolate chip cookies!

 

[PrincessPure]

I made pizza for my whole family tonight.

 

[LonelyHiker]

Not sure yet....maybe black beans and rice with a salad

 

[KM76710]

The last of the leftover chili with fried cornbread.
