What's cookin' for the weekend?

[grislyatoms]

I have to work all weekend so I'm making a big pot of chicken soup. That way I don't have to cook dinners.
Also boiling a dozen eggs for kiddo to color when she comes home from school.

(The chicken must be just about right because both of the ferrets woke up and wandered into the kitchen. Ferrets lost? Boil a chicken. You'll find them.  )

Anyway, what's on the menu, folks?

Visiting the folks for Easter. Schnitzel on Saturday, duck on Sunday, Bacon and beer brunch with the dog on both days.

Tomorrow on my way up I'm detouring through Carizzo Plain to take some photos and see how things are shaping up for quail season, so just some tuna sandwiches in the lunch bucket, it being Good Friday and all.

I'll be on the road much of the weekend, but I had frog legs and hog jowl at Lambert's in Alabama a couple days ago. :D

Oh,

I hate holidays

I didn't realize either Liz, until around noon.

Saturday:  Haircut and then setup for our USPSA classifier match.
Sunday:  Not shooting the classifier, but Easter breakfast at in-laws in which SWMBO is making sausage milk gravy from scratch.  YUM!!!

Made a crockpot of French Onion Soup for the Freezer.  Leaving tomorrow morning to see my parents in Indy.  So I'm not sure what's on the menu for this weekend.  Going out with friends Saturday Night and the Indy Blogger get together with Tam, Roberta and whoever else shows up Sunday afternoon, heading home Monday.

I'm trying to get rid of the flab around my middle, which means trying to keep my calorie intake at 1500 to 1700 a day.

My wife, though, is determined to cook on weekends, and she has some delicious-sounding meals planned, none of them healthy. She's talking about a dish with manicotti noodles stuffed with ricotta and some other ingredients, with Italian sausage and fried vegetables on the side. It's great. It's also about 3,000 calories a plate.

Ah, well. I spend all week at the gym burning off what I eat on the weekend.

I think we are doing corned beef and cabbage on Sunday, along with an awesome Guiness/chocolate pudding for dessert.

I was shopping yesterday and the lady hawking the hams was trying to sell me on one for Easter, I asked if it was kosher and she looked like a deer in the headlights and said she would find out. Where do these people come from? 

FTR, no I am not Jewish, but it doesn't keep me from asking those types of questions.

Same boat as Monkeyleg.  Since I retired, I've been "trending" upward.  Even though I minimized hobbling around the office on my cane, I am surprised to find how much even that small amount of regular excerise helped stabilize my weight.  Bathroom was 100 yards away there, only 30 feet here at home... <grin>.

I'm also surprised how holding/using that cane all the time gave me a great grip in that hand.

So:  nothing this weekend beyond "a little less than normal" food and some (safe) dry-fire excercise (with a dummy load) on a rather stiff DA semiautomatic pistol.

ETA: "Trending" is a polite way of saying "ballooning."

[Kingcreek]

Mediteranian dry spice rubbed leg of lamb grilled over charcoal, with brown and wild rice, fresh steamed asparraus, fresh garden greens salad, and fresh baked bread with a nice bottle of pinot noir.
either that^ or spam and velveeta on wonderbread.

Holy crap, I'm gonna make that.

Breakfast with birdman. Probably grill animal flesh over a fire at some point. Beer, then back to the RV i'm living in for next week's work.


Can't wait till the house closes.

Got to work this weekend. No Easter dinner, but am cooking some basic foods like tacos, hamburger helper, sloppy joes, hot dog chili, and I plan on baking an apple pie. Had steak and baked potato tonight...
