Jack, I am a beer lover, too, but I don't drink it every day.  My favorite at the moment is a Belgian White Wheat beer, Blue Moon.  I sometimes drink a glass of wine on the weekend while watching movies on TV--I prefer a red, but white is OK, too.  A cold beer in the afternoon of yard work in the heat is a good choice, too!

Sue I can go a day without a beer, but meet my son on his way home from work, and have a few several days a week.

One of the most memorable events of Bubble's visit to me in Canada was the day she and her family went to one of my sons for supper and feasted on the most succulent beef tenderloin I have ever tasted. I believe Bubble shares my opinion of  that meal. These are the before and after pictures.

Don that makes my mouth water, and no bone about it :)

Mary Ann

For Father's Day. Tom's son, James, fixed a pork tenderloin and basted it with a sauce that had everything under the sun in it.  The tenderloin was both tender and delicious.  I did not take a picture - sorry.

My son, also, makes  a delicious beef tenderloin. He coats is with a dry  rub mix.  It is better than Prime Rib !   He cuts it in a thick slice or sometimes slices it thin to make sandwiches with it.

Jack and Sue, I am not a big beer drinker, but do like a really cold Rolling Rock with my steamed crabs.  I was recently introduced to the Seagram's Escapes.. lots of delicious flavors of wine coolers.  I think they might have been around a while, but new to me.  I particularly like the Sangria and the peachy one. But. all that I have tried, so far, are good.  My son gave me several cartons of the different flavors.  A lot of them are fruity tasting.

I love seeing all the great pictures, and especially the ones of "Jack's girls".

Joy I miss the days I was up your way in Westminster.  The Double Dog I posted is also near you  in Frederick Md.

SCFSue

Joy,  I have a great recipe for Sangria that I got while vacationing in Madrid some years ago.  I'll dig around in my cook books and post it here if I can find it.

Sue

Joy

Sue, would love to have that recipe, if you can find it.  Thanks !

Joy, below is the recipe from a cook book I bought in Madrid, Spain, in the 70's.  I met my husband there when he was able to get a week's leave from his Navy Squadron when they were on maneuvers in the Mediterranean.  My Mother-in-law came up from Alabama to stay with our 3 children.

                                      RED WINE PUNCH

1 quart red wine                                1 lemon, sliced thinly
1/8 quart carbonated water                 1/3 cup sugar

Pour wine and carbonated water into large pitcher or punch bowl.  In another bowl, crush the lemon slices and sugar together.  Add to the wine mixture.  Add ice cubes and stir well shortly before serving this satisfying thirst quencher.

(this was a big summer time favorite of my husband and me while he was still living).

:dontknow:  Jack, at first glance I didn't see the "R"... so thought the word was Aging.... and thought that wasn't very nice of the person brewing........ :2funny:   Love seeing the girls and crossed my mind that in most photos of them it was always Zoe on the right... planned or their idea?  Beautiful Leonberger....   I did get to see one in person at a dog "introduction" a year or so ago.  Very gentle giants. 

Don, delicious looking meal. If I remember, you also enjoy cooking, right?  Oops... where did your photos go?  I just saw them!

Everyone can have my share of beer... only got my lips wet tasting one time & not anything I want to drink.  The "home" brews are big around here, too, my grands love collecting & trying anything new.  Having grown up going along with my father to visit his old buddies, I got to listen as each would brag about their latest brew.  My father even gave it a try and Mother would have been justified if she had skinned him..... it was "aging in the basement" one day when her ladies club met.... and bottles started exploding down there.  I'm not sure how she explained it but most of the ladies knew the score.  :knuppel2: He would make root beer at the same time and we got to help use the bottle cap-er to seal them.  Don't think he ever made it again.  Dad was a little bit ornery and Mother would not have walked to town without white gloves and hat. She never had on a pair of slacks until after I was married. The typical housewife, dress & apron and smell of wonderful food cooking or baking all day.  Both always had time to visit with any of our friends that stopped by, and our friends still stopped to see them long after we were gone from home. Ah, good memories.......

jackwv

Shirley, hope your dad did not lose to many bottles.  My son used to make his own, but now the two of us have to try anything new on tap.  Yes the Leonbergers are gentle giants, they also have a Maine Coon Cat also a gentle giant.

Joy

Thanks, Sue, for the punch recipe.  I have it saved and hopefully, will get to make some this summer.  Sounds so good for a hot summer day.

For my sangria I use

-a bottle of red wine (marsala if I can find, or merlot or shiraz)
-one orange cut in slices
-one  bottle of soda or orange juice
-a cup of peaches diced (frech or canned)
-a small can of pineapple pieces with the liquid.

I like to refrigerate overnight so as to let the fruit macerate.

Before serving I add ice cubes.

Then we can party!

My favorite meal: lamb stew with prunes, string beans and lemony roasted potatoes.

Bubble, that looks great.

Wanted to show how I prepare my drink, no recipe required.   Sometimes I eliminate the mug. 8)

At least you use an opener and not your teeth! :2funny:

SCFSue

Bubble, I love lamb, but my husband didn't.  He came home one day unexpectedly for lunch and I was cooking lamb for our sons and myself.  He sniffed the air and said, "I smell wet wool!"  I had to make him a sandwich out of leftovers in the fridge!  I never cooked lamb when he was expected after that.

Your lamb stew looks yummy--although I'm not fond of prunes!  I do love lamb, but we don't often see it in our grocery stores here.    My father-in-law who was a difficult man raved about prune pie, so I made him one when they visited us at the farm.  That helped our relationship a little bit.  My husband was an only child and his father ruled the roost until the day he died.

Sue

My son just arrived for our lunch date, grocery shopping, and a trip to library, so Ta Ta!

Shirley

:roflBig:   Bubble.... I've heard they do that (open bottles with teeth) in some mountain areas of the US. I've tasted the lemon baked potatoes but never knew how to fix..... something surprising to me & I really liked it, care to explain how you fix yours?  Lamb around here is more expensive than any other meat, not sure why, but I learned to love it when we lived in England.  Could count on one hand the times I've had it in the 60 years since.

Jack, I'm guessing that the basement was such a mess Dad probably hauled out the rest, if any left that didn't explode. Mom was not a nag but had her way of getting her point across without saying a word.  She probably left Dad to his mess and he probably cleaned up without a word.  ;)   Now & then Dad & friends would share a few too many, which always made Dad a very happy person (some get mean, you know). Mom never said a word but I knew we would be having greasy eggs, bacon & gravy for breakfast. Dad ate it & turned a little green, "good breakfast" and would disappear. 

They knew how far to go and as they got older, they enjoyed doing things together that they remembered doing when they grew up (like drying apples & other fruit instead of canning or freezing), gardening and growing veggies they ate (collards, kale, etc) when young.  Many of those veggies are coming back into the diets of my grands, pickled beets one of their favorites.  My brother discovered them on the grocery shelves & was eating them like dessert last time we were all together. I think Mom canned hers with the pickling spices, not just vinegar, they were sweet & tangy.

I recall seeing a photo of that Maine Coon Cat & would love to see one in person.  How much does it weigh?  My Tom weighs about 18 pounds & almost as different in size with old LaurenKat as seeing that Standard Poodle next to the miniature poodle. 

Had the first cool night for months, opened the sliding door to my bedroom and Tom came on it, ready for breakfast about 2:30 am. He wouldn't settle down so I gave up & we went to the kitchen for a dish of salmon for Tom & I closed the folding wood door to that end of the house & went back to bed. Hour or so later Tiger was at the door & lay on the end of my bed watching whatever was moving around out back. Fitbit is so tired this morning I can't get it awake to tell me how little sleep I really got.   A nap is on the "to do list" for today........

Sue, that recipe sounds good, much better than "straight" red wine.  About half the time I have a big jug of Welch's grape juice (not the cocktail) in my frige... never could understand why anyone thought turning the juice into wine made it better.

Sue, you slipped in... my husband didn't like lamb, either, & one time I fixed a "leg" when we were in England... he quizzed me about what it was & I just repeated "a leg"???  Never tried that again.  My grandmother made a prune cake that was considered "prize worthy" by everyone, except me.  How I dreaded having to eat that tiny slice & knew it was a must do if the cake was sitting on it's wooden pedestal that was part of the big, carved hutch in the dining room. I just had a shudder & goose bumps on my arms at that memory. ICK!

I wasn't feeling hungry, till I came in here... :eat:

Shirley, those baked potatoes: In a plastic bag I put some olive oil,  1/2 tbspoon of paprika (hot or mild according to taste), pepper, the juice of 1/2 nice lemon and I shake it all until well covered.  I put the potatoes in a pyrex or a roasting pan in the oven until golden brown. If I want more lemony taste, I put some very thin slices of lemon under the potatoes.

Shirley

My mouth is watering, Bubble... & have copied your recipe but "one more thing".... those look like red potatoes with skins on? and I did not know paprika came in mild or hot!!! and about how much olive oil with that amount of potatoes?  I am off to the store. Thank you. Join me, Jackie?

so_P_bubble

No skin.  I forgot to say I parboil them in the skin to almost soft (Maybe 15 min on the gaz) , then peel before "treating" them.  I don't measure the oil: it depends on the amount of potatoes; it should coat them but not drip.  I empty the bag in the pan and leave the surplus of oil in it!

As we age we tend to eat a milder recipe.   With this in mind here is my dinner tonight with several beer.  It is a bowl of Chili with cheese, onions and jalopenia  peppers.  Wish me luck for the rest of the night.   :)

That chili looks good but you can hold the jalapeno for me!  Cas loved them & would "show me how good" .... pretty sure he had a stock pile of Tums to fall back on later.  Jack, one time a friend served chili with cheese as a dip (taco chips) & chopped slices of stuffed pimentos in it (not too many). The contrast of flavors was really........good

I bought everything for your potatoes, Bubble, and plan to go to the Farmer's Market in the morning to see if they have any "new" potatoes.  Glad I asked.  I did find smoked paprika as well as regular, but no "hot" (they sure are proud of that stuff, aren't they?).  I was shocked to find a single lemon was 89¢, bought it anyway~~ Had to buy a new bottle of olive oil since the last one turned rancid because I kept it on a shelf over the stove/oven.  Lesson learned. 

I also filled the elephant with gas since I had a dollar off per gallon for 35 gallons.  I still have another dollar off so will plan to run to MO to visit family before June is over.  Have not seen my brother & his wife since last year & our sister & husband can drive up to KC from their house about 40-50 miles east of KC.  There is a nice campground on the east side, with luck can find a site with a big tree for shade. I've stayed there a couple times & amazed it is so nice & so much space right in the Kansas/Missouri city... so cats come along.  Keeping busy. 

I'll think of you Jack, (along with Jackie...) middle of the night.
Good luck:eat: :beer: :cheers: :yum: :yikes:

Returned from the pub and it stopped raining, It was 72 and sunshine so off to the park.  No problem with the chili, and settled in for the night.  Checked with my son, his Maine Coon cat is 20 pounds, very gentle but the dogs will not mess with her.

Mary Ann

Jack, I am not fond of chili because it is too spicy, but Wendy's has two for the price of one on Tuesdays.  Tom likes it and he'll ask me first, but he'll buy two.  I certainly would not want yours with jalapeno.  I like tasty food, but not spicy - to me, tasty and spicy are not the same.  You must have a cast iron stomach!

Shirley, I've quite a roster of jalapeno jellies in my fridge! I not only use them as such with bread and butter, but also in veggie dishes and as meat rubs. I will deseed and chop up jalapeno peppers and use in my wok with potatoes, bell peppers and onions. You do not need more than a little. I also often use Hungarian paprika as well as smoked, hot or sometimes mild. I have five different types of curry pastes in the refrigerator too.

It's not so much hot as spicy.
