Capitol Hill Blue Forums Misc. Topics Food, Drink and Cooking Wonder what the poor folks are eatin' tonight?

Small sauteed chicken breast fillet, Italian wedding soup and a small salad. Zowie the Cocker Spaniel and Bobo the toy Poodle got the very last of the Thanksgiving turkey leftovers mixed in with their Science Diet canned food.

The cats, same thing they have every day, the only thing either of them will ever eat, Meow Mix.

Although Snowflake DID wander over to investigate the chicken fat and trimmings in the pan after dinner. But in the end, she just really wanted a few sniffs and a couple of laps. Then back to the Meow Mix. These are the first cats I've ever had that turn their nose up at people treats. Very strange!

Hey Jeff, is Bobo a chick magnet for you at the dog park?

Uhhhh Rick, (A) I think that might be a gay thing.

But if it isn't I would not remember because this is the first tiny dog I've ever had but then there's (B) the fact that it's actually Karen's doggie, and SHE carries him around wherever she goes.

So I'm-a thinkin he might actually be a dude magnet, for HER.
She doesn't realize how much she gets checked out sometimes.
She might be on wheels but that doesn't seem to stop a lot of guys from taking a second or even third (or fourth) look.

But thanky for the flowers anyway, this ruggedly handsome man has now gained sixty pounds from sitting in the editor chair far more than I'd like to.

Bobo is actually quite a homebody. He is such a wuss.
He's afraid of EVERYTHING!! One time Karen crumpled up a piece of paper to throw it in the trash, damn pooch nearly had a heart attack

"Bobo it's just a piece of paper!"
(dog is sitting there trembling in fear)

I think we got the runt of the litter, he has no intestinal fortitude, poor lil fella.

Zowie on the other hand is quite the social butterfly.
I could probably take HER to the doggie park and pick up a few strays.

But I don't Karen would be too thrilled at the idea

But anyway, this was our dinner tonight:


MEATLOAF:




No, not that,



but that's STILL MEATLOAF:

Open face roast duck and gravy sandwich. On homemade bread.

The cookie recipe on the Nestle's white chocolate chips is awesome!

Mmmmmm, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and brown gravy. Or just meatloaf with catsup: That's some good eating, either way!

And I love a cold meatloaf slice on sourdough, with catsup & mayo, for lunch the next day.

I didn't know Nestle's even made white chocolate chips!

That's very good news, since I love a good chocolate chip cookie but my stomache acts up when I eat the real thing.

It's white chocolate chips and and walnuts or macadamia nuts. Poor folks use walnuts. The coconut doesn't add anything to the cookies. I recommend leaving it out. Unless someone in your household doesn't eat coconut, then by all means put it in so you don't have to share!

I'm not poor-just plain old middle class, but I had sesame soy chicken, snowpeas steamed with sliced mushrroms and water chestnuts, and fried rice. I had made extra rice the night before, and cooked this up in my wok. Mr. Scoutgal loves this type of dinner.
