3. Thats pretty good. We sometimes do that during the week

On Sundays, I like to do more traditional meals. For years growing up, Sundays meant a pot roast slow cooked in the oven while we were at church. It always came with carrots, potatoes and cream style corn. Mom would cook it on a low setting for 3/4 hours. We would get up for church and it would already be in the oven and then when we got home from church usually 12:30 or so, it would be ready. Rarely did we have anything different on Sundays.

I still like a good roast, but I like variety and not the same thing every week.

4. Leftovers tonight

chicken marengo.

It's even better as a leftover, when the chicken absorbs the juices/flavor.

Now I'm hungry.

6. It varies, but here's one that's close

The only addition in ours is a bunch of pitted black olives added to the pot.

And, double the amounts of wine and brandy. It's a long process, and the chef needs to repeatedly taste the wine and brandy to ensure freshness.

13. An interesting historical context for the meal

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Marengo

Look in the "miscellany" section of the article for a mention of the meal, supposedly dating from 1800.

8. Doing one of our faves today, too.

Fried chicken, potatoes and turnips mashed together, coleslaw, homemade biscuits, and homemade banana pudding with fresh whipped cream. :9

Enjoy your dinner, but try not over do it now that you're doing better. :hi:

[greenbriar]

9. yours sounds great. I LOVE fried chicken but haven't tried it yet

that might be pushing it a bit

[hippywife]

10. And there isn't a whole lot better than

a really good baked ham, either. :9

[greenbriar]

11. true

and there is enough for ham and beans later this week.

12. I can only eat very small amounts of things still

I eat small portions, my entire meal is about the size of my hand. I still have to drink ensure at least once a day. I hate the stuff, but I have gained to 105 lbs now and my doctor is happy.
