Sunday Supper

In the south we eat supper after five in the afternoon. Sunday Dinner is often associated with dinner on the grounds at the church though the big Baptist churches like ours now have kitchens and hostesses and we never eat Sunday after Church.

Tonight for supper I joined with Cheryl, which I do often and helped with the meal. I did a squash dish in which you split the yellow squash and then hollow them out. Save the innards and mix with spinach, sour cream, Italian blend cheese, and a bit of flour and water to thicken the stuffing for the squash. Top them with Italian blend cheese and then bake until the squash are tender.

Next, I did Armadillo Eggs. They are jalapeno peppers halved, cored, then stuffed with sausage and cheese (Fiesta Blend) and put back together and then wrapped with bacon. Bake them until the bacon is browning and the peppers are cooked.

I used the balance of the sausage and cheese mix and made sausage cheese biscuits. Just dump in a bag of Wal Mart's biscuit mix and a half cup of milk and stir it all together and spoon out in an iron skillet and bake until done.

My next contribution was Tomate al Riso. We had that in Italy and I came home and re-created it. You start by cooking rice in a pot and potatoes in a skillet in Olive oil and salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Then mix the rice and potatoes in the iron skillet you cooked the potatoes in. Core tomatoes on the stem end carefully and be sure to leave some body of the tomato to stuff and bake. Trim the good stuff off the cores and mix with the rice and potato mixture. Lay a bed of rice and potatoes in the bottom of a glass baking dish and then place the tomatoes cored side up and then finish filling them with the rice and tomato mixture. Then bake them at 350 and when they are about half done put Italian Blend Cheese on top and finish baking them.

I also grilled boneless, skinless chicken breasts with some squeeze margarine, salt, lemon juice, and lemon pepper.

Cheryl cooked baby carrots and Fordhook Lima beans. I love those both. She at the last minute parsleyed potatoes and they smelled good.

Now it is time to eat.
