This is what dinner turned into

Thanks, Ruby. It's the one that I wrote about this morning,

@RubyHawk All of the vegetables cooked down into this thick gravy-like mass. Surprisingly, it was tasty. Thanks.

@TheSojourner it looks very tasty.

Brrrrr!!! I hope you are staying warm!

@TheSojourner ........I have my MukLug socks and a long sleeve gown I wear to bed. I'm toasty. No reason to go outside. Thank goodness.

@celticeagle I have to walk Cooper on-leash, so I haven't that luxury! *laughs* And, when it comes to going to bed, I cannot be encumbered with gowns and socks or anything. I have a hard enough time with anything other than crisp cotton sheets and a light down comforter! These fleece sheets are driving me crazy, so I'm going to put the cotton ones back on and use my comforter and an extra blanket.

It didn't really taste like a gumbo, but it reminded me of it because of the consistency and the mishmash of flavors

@LadyDuck I have always liked okra, as long as it's not too slimy.

@TheSojourner I like the consistency of gumbo, if only I could find fresh okra. Next year I try to seed them.

That sounds good!

Um, there is a cup of cooked rice underneath the "gravy." You can see the white-on-white in the photo.

It was pretty tasty, too! Thank you

@TheSojourner All your meals are wonderful, I can almost smell them cooking:)

@kobesbuddy thank you for your kind words.

@TheSojourner I did not mean it as criticism, just what my preference is. I did not notice the bed of rice and that is just as good as potatoes. I will try to be more careful.

@StartFlatBoke Thank you for your kind words. I have many of those same preferences. Mostly, I eat high protein and high vegetable meals. And yes, it is difficult to see the white rice on the white plate. Nice to meet you here. I am north of you a couple of hours.

Actually, no it's not all meat, though it does not have potatoes. It is quite balanced with onions, celery, carrots, greens, and much more. It was also served over a bed of rice. So, I'm not sure what your criticism of a lack of balance is. If you read any of my food posts, or talk to others about what I cook, and how, they may not always care for what I cook, but the last thing they would say is that they lack balance. Thank you for taking a quick moment to stop in.

It was quite delicious, especially with all the ingredients I used. Pork roast sounds really good. I have a lamb roast up in the freezer that I'm itching to pull out and make. How did you prepare your pork roast?

@jstory07 That sounds yummy.

@TheSojourner In the crock pot with carrots and potatoes.

What did you order yesterday?

@LindaOHio the clams and scallops, are those fried? Do they offer anything other than fried things or things dripping in butter? That's what I remember about red lobster. And I know that they have some biscuits that they serve. Those were delicious, but I can't eat those anymore either.

@TheSojourner We had stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer (one of the free Rewards), then I had clam strips, bay scallops, mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Hubs took home a piece of cheesecake (another Reward). It was all so good.

Don't work too hard today. Don't stress out. You don't need a relapse!

@TheSojourner True and I know sister

And where are you located? That way I'll know how long I have to keep it warm! LOL
