(16,334 posts)haven't considered what to do with the rice yet. Again, I am not very motivated.
Using turkey for ground beef in meatloaf.
Lucinda
(31,170 posts)but I think i'd like it! Hope it turns out well.

Phentex
(16,334 posts)meatloaf is such a comfort food to me. But the turkey loaf is good!
There were some meatloaf threads recently that were interesting. I like to experiment!
Juneboarder
(1,732 posts)I also like to use a mix of ground turkey and ground pork for my "meatballs".
I call them pork balls
Phentex
(16,334 posts)combo. I remember the pork/beef combo more.
What was cruel was how good they smelled when she fried them up and THEN put them in the sauce.
The smell of meat cooking is all I'd need to give up national security secrets.
Lucinda
(31,170 posts)I'll have to try it soon!
Juneboarder
(1,732 posts)but use an egg or two.
Phentex
(16,334 posts)but doctored with eggs and seasonings, it tastes good.

(31,170 posts)I've really been hungry for a nice big salad, but it's still so cold here that we seem to be going with heartier meals. Soups and stews and roasted things.

(146,218 posts)Well, I might sneak some of the ham that needs eating in both, as dh likes his meat.
It is great being in a place where I can send dh into the market every day to get what I need. We decided to spend one more week here and I am grateful. Weather is perfect right now.
Enjoy your fajitas!

(146,218 posts)I like variety, lots of it. So if I have to buy more than I need, I often end up with something I'm not interested in the next day.
My solution has been to make more than we will eat, then have a leftover night every 3rd or 4th night.
Hey, I got to have ice cream last night!! Another advantage of being moored in town.

(31,170 posts)even though I do love the mountains! I'll have to live vicariously through you!

(106,886 posts)Blackberries and yogurt for a finish. A Cape Cod along the way...it's a kitchen dancing evening.

(146,218 posts)Funny story about ginger. I sent whatshisname out with a list yesterday and had ginger listed. I usually break off a small piece and pay pennies for it. He picked up one of the largest pieces of ginger I have ever seen.
Says he is going to make ginger beer out of it.

Lucinda
(31,170 posts)I think i'd like it! I always have fresh ginger on hand for my juicing, and I'm going to have to try that!
I saw a scary egg salad the other day watching The Best Thing I Ever Ate at Hulu. They used REALLY soft boiled eggs in chunks, with a toasted olive bread. The person being interviewed was raving about it, but it frightened me!
