Why did I mix my white rice with brown rice in the same container? Am I crazy? Have I lost my ever loving freaking mind! What the hell is wrong with me! AAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGG!

Are you going to tell us or are we going to have to think about it all day?  And, white rice, blech!

@Sanguine

Yea, I know. Thank you for your concern. I would tell the answer except I don't know. I will get over it. This too shall pass.

How could I do that! I hate myself. I am so stupid.

Won't work on my old Fire.

Get you a smartphone and dive into the fun.

No.  I like cabbage, but.... with the gumbo, I figured less is more.  The Black Eyed peas have a very/too hot jalapeno, along with ham bits and some chopped onion.  I'm cooking the hell out of it to try to get some of that hot out!   It's a non-traditional NYrs dinner this year.... but then, things haven't been all that traditional lately anyway.  I decided what the hell.

@XenaLee

Black-eyed peas are too good to save for New Year's...I cook them all the time.  Onion, green pepper, red pepper, ham or smoked sausage, garlic, cayenne...nice and spicy.

[Silver Pines]

Well, banana sandwich anyone?  No collards, peas, rice, bacon, cornbread, and hot vinegar today.   But, getting the slow cooker going in a little while and gonna chow down tonight !

@seax

Not me, but can I have some cornbread?  I'm craving.

Ooh, I like your culinary style, KittenClaws (and welcome to TBR!). I love cabbage.

Why, thank you, you know it's the simple things we go back to...comfort food as some call it.  Those inexpensive meals your mom made, because she couldn't afford anything else.

Macaroni and cheese, baked. No weenies, just macaroni and cheese. I have never been able to duplicate my mom's recipe. 


Thanks for the welcome🌺😉

[KittenClaws]

That sounds really good! I make homemade egg rolls with shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced scallions. I fry them in coconut oil. Yum!

I must have the recipe!  I'm glad there is something I can use with the coconut oil I bought.  It was a whim (coconut oil) and I don't know what to do with it.

And since I love egg rolls, keeping an eye out for your recipe

[KittenClaws]

I was going to whip up some Ramens for breakfast, out of laziness, but I decided to go with a peanut butter sammich, so I don't ruin my appetite for pizza tonight.

I am going to try a banana sandwich someday , but I do like peanut butter and bananas"

[KittenClaws]

I'm not a huge cooked cabbage fan, but that does sound good.

And yes, welcome to TBR.
 

I can't say that I ever even thought about cabbage until my husband introduced me to this.

I've heard fried cabbage is good as well, but haven't found a recipe.

Thanks for the welcome!

Recipe for fired cabbage:

Core and chop up into fairly large chunks one head of cabbage.

Take four or five strips of thick country style bacon and cut into thirds.

Heat up a large cast iron skillet and throw in bacon when hot.

Turn down heat and let bacon get about half done before throwing in the cabbage.

Stir it all up and put the lid on the skillet.  In 5 or 6 minutes take the lid off and stir again.  Put the lid back on for a couple more minutes and it's done.

If you are the adventurious type you can throw in a few slices of green Jalapenos wiith the bacon as I do.  YUMMY!!!

Fry up some kielbasa coins in butter with onion , green pepper, jalapeno... Hold it off.
Same pan, bust up a half a cabbage or so... 1/2 slices, then busted up into the pan...more butter... fry covered til it's got just a bit too much bite... Salt and pepper, garlic or garlic powder to taste.  Throw the meat mix back in, cover, cook till done (right bite on the cabbage)...

Poor man's steak: Cut cabbage coins about 1/4+ thick, fry in garlic butter as a coin, salt pepper to taste

I've been making steaks Sous Vide for a couple years using a thermostat and a crock pot.  Yesterday, Amazon Prime day, I finally bought an Anova heater/circulater and will be cooking a lot more with it....

I love cabbage cooked pretty much any way, but yeah.... that sounds good too.  Got hooked on Dimassi's fried caulflower about 8 years ago.... but still haven't been able to duplicate it exactly.   I think they just use olive oil.  It's really good.

Btw, I have a male cat that looks exactly like your avatar there.

[Restored]

The older I get, the more I appreciate raw vegetables. Radishes, turnips, carrots, cauliflower, asparagus, etc. I like beets cooked but only local Va mountain grown beets. NC beets taste like dirt. Our local radishes are hot as a firecracker.

Dropped my cast iron skillet, pretty much the only one I use these days, on the tile kitchen floor the other night.

The previous owners left several extra tiles, which is a cool thing to do.  Spend a few extra bucks today to save a real pain in the whatever, for yourself or someone else, later.

Unfortunately, they didn't leave an extra cast iron skillet.  The totally replaceable tile survived the incident just fine, the skillet no longer has a handle.

I have about 300-350 sq ft of that tile in the "kitchen".  I hate it.  It's white, and it's got about a 3/8" grout line which just sucks up dirt.  I really want to replace it.  But if a cast iron skillet dropped from a height of over three feet can't damage it, I think I might as well just move.  I'd have as much chance removing that tile as getting the bermuda grass out of my lawn.

My favorite cast iron skillet became handleless years ago.  Hasn't affected its usability in the least.

No handle equals no place to put the heat protector thingy.   One day, I'm going to burn the ever living carp out of myself because I didn't simply throw the darn thing away.

You know, I should just go throw the darn thing away now to protect myself.

From cooking over a campfire so many years...
I keep a pair of leather work gloves by the stove...
Never had a 'heat protector thingy' in my life.

Thank you! I will try it this week-end and report back . I will be adventurous and throw in some jalapeño!
