It's a very funny thread!

Roasted chicken thighs over potatoes and onions

leftover chocolate rye cake

last night dinner... 35 pork & veggie dumplings

Are they tiny? I love dumplings, but 35 seems a lot.

Meant to ask if 35 was the brand name or quantity.
how were these cooked and served? Any dipping sauces?

Um, I guess they were smallish-medium-sized?

boiled... no sauces - I like them plain
35 is the quantity. :)

dinner tonight was a spicy salmon roll and a spicy tuna roll

I wish my wife wouldn't get nauseous when I broil lamb, pork, or steak in the house. Went to a local restaurant and had 2 butterflied pork chops broiled with just salt and pepper with a side of broccoli. Cost $29.95 and included a small salad (house or Caesar). I can buy a package of 6 for about $12.00 at Publix, but I don't need to have her complaining about the smell in the house. I don't use a BBQ because of the weather outside is usually rainy right now in SFLA.

Cold front didn’t make it that far south? It’s still warm up here, but it has dried out and not rained in a week.

Wednesday supper:
fusilli pasta with cheese & olive oil
ks meatballs
spaghetti with Rao’s marinara and ks meatballs
Veggie tray

my Dessert:
end of Saturday’s chocolate rye cake from Bloom’s End


would an air purifier, overhead vent, and open windows help? I definitely use all 3 when cooking anything no matter who else is home.

I use the latter two, but she still feels bad, even though she enjoys the food. It may be the Cancer that has changed her body reactions.

Presuming you have a garage, could you do them in the garage on an electric George Foreman grill? At least it would get the smell out of the house. I don't currently own a Foreman, but when I had one I often used it for steaks and boneless pork chops.

Corn on the cob, fishcakes and peas.

I'm trying this recipe for chicken, potatoes, and carrots in the crock pot. My parents are not adventurous eaters, and I wanted something healthier than many of the recipes my mother cooks.

Good luck. Any time I tried to introduce my mother to a new food, she’d push it around her plate and tell me she found it interesting.
