Even these posts are a couple years old........I fixed a pot roast for the family tonight. Andy, our oldest, came over and we all ate around the kitchen table. It was nice and the roast was delicious. It's all gone! I always have potatoes,carrots, mushrooms, celery, and sprinkle it with Lipton french onion soup mix. Simple and delicious. tmm

Damn Right I Carry!
Chile or tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich!
Just made it a hour ago, smells great! -26° below wind chill. Spent a couple hours outside clearing snow and running errands so I am still cold. had a shot of Schnapps and followed up with Firteball Whisky. It warmed me up! tmm
Oops! forgot the recipe. Here it is:http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/hearty-hamburger-soup-3
Hmmm... Winter food, for me I would have to say deep fried turkey! With homemade stuffing and gravy made from scratch!
Or some of my mother's Bulgogi, spicy pork or Kalbi (Korean dishes)

Hey bartender!
After reading through this, I'm starving! Thinking the morning will be filled with biscuits and gravy, bacon, hash browns and a few over-easy eggs. Maybe some grits. And a vodka and grapefruit juice. I'll just take a long nap at work..
Roast beef with potatoes, carrots, onions, and mushrooms. I use Lipton French onion soup mix for flavor. Nothing like a big pot of Chili to warm your innards and your soul. We have hot chocolate with a shot of peppermint schnapps. Makes you all warm and fuzzy inside! Great choices Leanna!
Lmao, Albondigas.
Winter food? I was raised in the bayou country. Hard to beat a pot of red beans and rice with some lean beef brisket cooked in for a nice one pot meal on a cold winter's day.
Live in Texas now, so lots of great Tex Mex food here. Beef fajitas or huevos rancheros...... And pretty much anything made with avocado. Its all good.
Love eggs cooked with small slices of nopales, cebolla dulce and a pinch of cilantro scrambled in and rolled in tortillas de maís for breakfast. Yum!!!
Happy Motoring,
Harry

We buy the spiral sliced hams when on sale, give majority of the meat to charity and keep the bones and slag to season beans. Giant limas ( sows ear butter beans I call them ), mac & chesse, cornbread, one of my favorite meals.
Bar-b-qued chicken, rice, turnip greens, cornbread, is a close second.
Papas ( that's me ) all most world famous chicken noodle soup draws a good crowd of grandkids to our table.

Ernie makes a lot of "one pot" meals. Will often defrost some ground and not really know what to do with it. In a pot it goes, some Pato sauce, few different varieties of beans, onions, garlic,cilantro and celery. Maybe toss in some taters. Warm up a few flour tortillas and we are good to go.
I mentioned to her that I once made a "Tex Mex" meatloaf that was very good. Her response was an eye roll while she called me a pinche white boy.
For those that don't know what pinche means.....
FiretrUCKING... terms of endearment.....gotta love them....
I just had a bowl of chili I made yesterday. It's always better after setting overnight. I came down with a flu bug the last couple days. The chili cured me. (it didn't do anything for my headache though) lol tmm

Sorry, Barbee. Down here in Texas we are used to referring to so many things by their Spanish names I forget that everyone else doesn't necessarily do that.
Huevos rancheros just means 'rancher's eggs'......
These are usually 2 (I like 3) fried eggs cooked 'over easy' and smothered in red salsa. If you get them at a restaurant or diner, the eggs are usually served on top of a corn tortilla and then the salsa is spread over the eggs. When I make them at home, I don't put a tortilla under the eggs. I just warm up 6 or 7 corn tortillas and use them as eating utensils after cutting up the eggs and mixing them with whatever I have fixed as a side dish. They are usually served with refried beans and Spanish rice on the side. But you can use black beans or potatoes as well. I like potatoes with mine. Some folks have chorizo (a Mexican sausage) or bacon strips with them. I don't eat pork, so I pass on that.
Fajitas are made from grilled skirt steak......
I specified 'beef fajitas' because some folks cook and serve chicken in much the same way and call it fajitas. You can also use other cuts of steak, but skirt steak is the 'real deal'. Here is a basic fajita recipe......
http://homecooking.about.com/od/beefrecipes/r/blbeef11.htm
Pretty much the way we fix them here at home except that if you begin with a good cut of steak, you only need to marinade the meat in lime juice for 20 or 30 minutes priour to seasoning and grilling.
Once cooked, you just roll the meat strips in a tortilla along with whatever else you want to add and chow down. As with any soft taco or burrito, fold it like a baby diaper on the ends before rolling and your fillings won't fall out when you pick it up and bite into it.
Most folks around here use the large burrito sized flour tortillas for fajitas. I prefer white corn tortillas for the flavour, texture and nutritional value.
Guess I better translate that a bit......
Nopales are strips cut from the tender spineless parts of a prickly pear cactus. You can get them canned or pickled in a jar, but they are best when fresh cut and soaked in water until cooked. You want to cut and slice them so they are about the size and thickness of French cut green beans.
Cebolla dulce are sweet onions. I dice them coarsely before folding them into the eggs.
Cilantro looks a lot like Italian parsley, but has an entirely different flavour. Just rinse it well before using and pull the small leaves off the stems before cooking with it or using it as a garnish.
Tortillas de maís are tortillas of corn.
I generally fold both the tender cactus strips and the onions into the eggs before scrambling. And add a pinch of cilantro to them about 30 seconds before they are done cooking.
The corn tortillas, I heat directly on the burner of a gas stove over a very small flame just before laying them on a plate and rolling the eggs into them. You could probably do the same thing with a spatula and lightly oiled pre-heated cast-iron skillet, but I was taught to do it on the gas burner. You have to lick your fingers and be careful when flipping the tortillas (both sides must be cooked) or when taking them off the burner when doing it that way so you don't burn your fingers. Takes a little practice.
Hope that helps,
Harry
Ohhhhh yea ...now you just made me hungry for Huevos rancheros the spicy and hotter the better .......here in southern Colorado if you don't learn the Spanish names you will lost as well. A lot of my adoptive family are native to the area and the Colorado/ Mexican food from the area is absolutely amazing.
I don't speak or understand Spanish at all but when someone asks me if I will be down for beef enchiladas or huevos rancheros or fajitas .........count me there.
