It's supposed to be another nice day today.....we might even get in the low 60s before it starts to cloud over late this afternoon. I took two pork chops out of the freezer for the outside grill tonight. And I have a nice butternut squash to chunk up and toss into the oven. I love roasted squash. It develops such a nice caramel taste that is delicious.

Well, I spoke too soon. It's cloudy and rainy this morning. I got my issue of Cooks Country on Friday, though, and there's a recipe in there for a pork chop casserole. Think I'll try that since I won't be grilling outside this afternoon....unless it stops raining.

I haven't decided yet. O may have frozen schnitzel and french fries with an avocado.

I made a massive salad with cherry tomatoes quartered, chopped cucumber, chopped avocado, chopped persimmon, halved black grapes, lettuce, tinned corn and a schnitzel cut up with salt, pepper and mayonnaise. I thought noway will I be able to finish this. I'll have some tomorrow. Tomorrow? Ha! All gone. Yum yum.

Stewball, I use a pressure cooker but don't use the weight on it. I brown the chuck beef in a small amount of oil then add a couple of small chopped onions and about 1 1/2 pints of stock, let it simmer for about 2 hours then I add swede, parsnips, carrots and about 2 tablespoons of Jack Daniels BBQ sauce and if necessary more stock to cover. I let that cook for about 40 mins then add the dumplings and cook for a final 1/2 hour. A trick I have to flavour the dumplings is to add some dried sage and onion stuffing mix before I add the water. This adds some extra flavour to to stew.

Chicken Pot Pie made with some leftover chicken I had from cooking a whole one.  I got the butter flavored Crisco to make the crust.  It looks pretty!  It's cooling in our dishes now so we can eat!!

I have a chicken pot pie on my list for this week, too. Comfort food at its best.

I have a planning commission meeting today right after work, so I probably won't get home until around 6:00 or so. Dinner will be broiled tilapia...Rick is chief cook tonight.
