Just getting back from spring break sister - short, but sweet- can you say 'laundry?' Glad I made a grocery store trip 'before' leaving - I'm fighting the urge to go 'back' to the store for more stuff - So if folks wanna stop by tomorrow after church, guess what? I'll be prepared --- I NEED LENTILS though - what a great idea --- WE ARE A "BEAN" FAM too! Keep the ideas coming!!!

But..... for future reference, eating meat (chicken) and dairy (butter) at the same meal is one of the things forbidden by traditional Jewish dietary laws. Just something to think about for future Tuesdays. Sounds delicious!

I have truly been inspired by your wonderful dinner testimonial of 'cooking with what's available' - with all the folks that just 'stop' by expecting to eat at my home - I pride myself in coming up with quick and healthy - When company stay longer into the evening and it's dinner time - I have to get 'really' creative - how rude it is to serve your fam in front of guests who won't seem to go home - I was always taught to make 'more than enough' and to serve company - I've been told our home is so cozy that folks just feel at home and find it hard to leave - I've been known to serve and serve and serve - Feels like thanksgiving - offseason tho'... Feet hurt all the same - accompanied by a warm satisfied heart of giving all that I got... :) I will continue to use 'what's in my hand!' Good for you and your family!

I have to get ‘really’ creative – how rude it is to serve your fam in front of guests who won’t seem to go home – I was always taught to make ‘more than enough’ and to serve company -

I’ve been told our home is so cozy that folks just feel at home and find it hard to leave -

I’ve been known to serve and serve and serve -
Feels like thanksgiving – offseason tho’…
Feet hurt all the same – accompanied by a warm satisfied heart of giving all that I got…

I will continue to use ‘what’s in my hand!’

But it was the last tin, and I don't recall the brand for sure. I think it was called S&B, and it was mild. But it was the last tin, and I don’t recall the brand for sure.

I buy it on sale or at Aldi's, and I watch the sales. Whenever it is less than 2.00 a pound, I buy at least thirty pounds. Ruthann- we live in the country. When I lived within walking distance from the grocery store, it was much more tempting to cook based on what I felt like fixing than using what was on hand. Having put it off so late left me with little time for a run to the store- plus, I still had the first guest of the day, so I couldn't go shopping anyway.=) In other words, some of my 'discipline' is laid on me by my circumstances, for which I am grateful.

You said 5-6 pieces of boneless skinless, right? And you thought it was around $2? I just bought a 2.5 lb bag w/ 4 breasts for 4.88. Where do you get your chicken so cheap? I'd love to know.
