You are married to a man of gourmet tastes, apparently. Glad to hear it.

Too spicy food - SM
My husband made a homemade vegetable soup and added just a pinch (he says) of red pepper flakes. Now, it is way too hot to eat for me. Is there anything I can put in it to diminish the hotness of this without ruining the soup? I appreciate any ideas! Thank you.
Johnny Depp and some extra spicy indian food
Spicy hot kung Pao chick with stir fried vegetables from the garden.

The Mortgage-Lifter Tomato
A few years ago, I heard the story behind this great garden vegetable and did order some mortgage-lifter seeds from a catalog.
In the 1960s, a gentleman developed/raised mortgage-lifter tomatoes, selling them off for $1.00 each and sold enough to pay off his $6,000 mortgage. Thus, he named them mortgage-lifters.
Granted, it's too late in the year to start this enterprise now, but selling seedlings to gardeners is one way to earn some extra money.
I live in a rural area and do plant a small vegetable garden every year. I start tomatoes from seeds, and usually end up with more plants than I need. Most people I know do purchase seedlings; they don't start out with seeds. My son and I have decided that we will sell seedlings (more than just tomatoes) next spring at a weekly yard sale in our front yard.
Mortgage-Lifter story is here:

Tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwich.
Nothing grilled, it gives me a bellyache, just plain toast and cheese stuck together My son will have his favorite, fried liver and onions, my daughter will have cinnamon oatmeal, husband will have half a grapefruit, oatmeal, 2 eggs, and toast. I run a short order house in the morning, but at least everyone eats something good for them before they leave the house, so I don't mind at all. And I won't be surprised if a few neighborhood kids stop in for my soup and sandwich or the oatmeal. The only rule is that they have to put their own dishes in the dishwasher, not leave them for me to clean up.
With a Double Whopper on the side...hold the tomato and lettuce!

Sauce to Go??
Would be happy to send you some. Did find something in the store the other day that might be of interest Kool-Aid invisible. It has no dyes in it so it's clear. They had 2 flavors in our store. Don't give my daughter the stuff on a regular basis but since you brought it up.
So you crochet too?? I'm old enough to be a grandma but got a late start...
hey, lay off the sauce, bub.
Just joshing you, Ash.
Using BBQ sauce can be tasty. nm

I'll pay shipping for some of that sauce! :)
I don't know how you find the time. Of course, then again, I've been back and forth on here when I should be finishing crocheting my new grandson's baby blanket.
Little guy had to arrive a month early when I only had 5 rows done. If I had done 5 more rows, we could wrap the munchkin up in it now. :)
avocado sauce receipe.....sm
1 tbsp. oil
1/4 sm. onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 ripe avocado
1 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
1 tbsp. lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Heat the oil in a small pan and lightly fry the onion and garlic until soft. Scoop out flesh and mash well. Stir into the onion mixture and add the chopped parsley and lemon juice and season to taste. Heat the sauce, adding a little water if too thick. Serve the sauce hot with the fish, garnished with parsley and avocado slices
However, I use more than 1 avocado......*S*

1 (14 1/2-ounce) can chicken broth

2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 avocados, peeled and mashed
1 cup light sour cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a small saucepan; cook until reduced to 3/4 cup. Cool slightly. Process broth mixture, avocado, and next 4 ingredients in a blender until smooth. Makes about 4 cups.

Some jar sauce is as good as homemade...
I make my own sauce usually, but when I'm not in the mood there are some that surprisingly are just as good as homemade. They are the more expensive ones, Rao's, Victoria, Patsy's, Vincent's. Jar sauce has come a long way! But the less expensive like Prego, Ragu, and even Classico etc., I find are just too sweet. Easy recipe..A couple of jars of Victoria or other better-brand Fra Diavolo sauce. Cook on stove in medium pot on medium heat until hot but not boiling. Throw in a bunch of medium or large size RAW peeled shrimp with tails removed! (I often use the raw frozen in the bag - thawed) and continue cooking/stirring until shrimp turns orange and appears done. Spoon over pasta and top with S&P if you like and lots of grated romano/parmesan cheese. Squisito!

Where do you get the jasmin rice ?
I have looked around here in specialty stores and can't find it. I LOVE jasmin rice.
Red beans and rice.
Husband's fave, not mine. Smelly.
Condoleeza Rice
African American, female, educated, no scandals. Prime example of what education can do. I like what Oprah does for other countries, but Oprah loves attention and she's first in line to say "look what I did."
I wish Colin Powell would run for President. I'd vote for him.

Chicken In Wine Sauce (Easy and Quick)
Melt about 6 TBLSP butter in skillet. Sprinkle boneless, skinless chicken breasts with garlic salt and any other seasonings that you like, dust in flour and brown in butter for about 5 minutes or so, just till a little brown (to your liking). Put together 1/2 cup white cooking wine, 2 teaspoons roasted chopped garlic (I buy it already chopped), 2 TBLSP lemon juice (I use bottled Real Lemon), and 2 TBLSP dried parsley. Fresh is good too but I just never have it around. Dump this on the chicken in the skillet and put a lid on it and simmer for 6 minutes. Throw a bag of precooked microwave rice in the microwave, plop some on the plate, put the chicken on top and spoon some sauce over it. Very tasty and ready in less than 30 minutes. My kind of dinner !!! If you use more than about 4 pieces of chicken breast increase the butter to 8 TBLSP. I am sure that Parkay (or whatever) would work just as well but I use butter and be done with it. I usually have broccoli or some other green veggie and a salad with it. I use my Breadman a lot so I usually have hot rolls as well.
turkey, rice and oatmeal
Don't know if it would help the gas problem, but when my dog got real old, he didn't want dog food, and I gave him turkey (vet said turkey very easy to digest) and rice, and he loved oatmeal. I'm all for giving an old dog whatever makes him happy.
go to Africa and feed them rice, better yet
Forget all that mushroom soup stuff. Add carrots, celery, dry onion soup mix, a touch of tomato past
Add flour to mixture when roast is finished for gravy. Home made mashed potatoes and green beans with almonds and a salad. Yum.
Orchiette, home-made meat sauce, salad, YUM!
My dog loves his brown rice and chicken!
He turns his nose up at most dog foods. Found out he was actually eating the cat food. For some reason the cats stopped attacking him when he got near their food. A few weeks after I put the cat food up on a bench where he can't reach it, he had lost 5 lbs. He'll eat the dog food now, but he loves his special rice and chicken once in a while.

grilled NY strip, rice pilaf and a greek salad
I found this marvellous Greek salad dressing with feta cheese, made locally, called YiaYia's, and so I've been having lots of salads lately! :) It's still warm enough here (low 80s) to BBQ outdoors, which I love, so I'll do that, save the Foreman grill for when it's cold!

rice, bakery outlets, loss leader at the grocery stores,
My favorite cheap meal is cooking chicken leg quarters in a crock pot with an 1/4 onion and tumeric. Serve them with rice and lentils.
Here is a list of cheap foods: PB&J, bacon (cook two 2 slices at a time to put in eggs and beans), carrots, potatoes, beans (lentils are the easiest to cook IMHO), pasta, rice (use oil instead of butter to save $), eggs, Totinos pizza, and frozen mixed veggies.
www.stretcher.com under groceries has some good ideas.
www.hillbillyhousewfie.com has good ideas too. She has a good list called Everyday Bargains.
Do you have a bakery outlet close by? They usually have great deals on bread and bakery junk food. For $4 you can walk away with a big bag of bread, bagles, cake, ect.
I'm a single mom so I can't do this but if you can go grocery shopping without children that will help. Most stores have a loss leader for meat on sale each week. I would buy that meat and make mix it with rice or ramen noodles for dinner.
Most churches have food pantries. If you call one that does not have one, ask where there is a food bank. Church secretaries get so many calls for help they are usually experts at what the organizations available. Some Catholic Churches have St. Vincent DE Paul societies, they will either give you food or a gift card to a grocery store. Call the parish office and ask if the is one. We recieve food stamps now but I have been to food banks. They usually give canned food, pasta, and bread.
