Frozen dinners have come a loooong way since the original t.v. dinners and potpies.  For convenience and for portion control while dieting they can’t be beat.  But let’s face it, some of them just taste terrible!  I have found a couple I like, and would love to hear from others what frozen dinners they have found yummy or repulsive.

 

I like Stouffers escalloped noodles and chicken, and Stouffers bistro sesame chicken, but I want to try others.  What would you recommend?

 

This sounds yummmmmyyyy!  Thanks, Gloria!

Hey, everybody! 

I wanted to place a message here for all who enjoy this blog and are Purse Posse members.  The Purse Posse started on an impulse and has grown to be a much used "weapon" on occasion when a united front comes in handy.  It's also a great place to share information or ask questions.  Even to share our favorite recipes.  It always has been and I hope it will continue to be a very positive and fun place, as well as entity.

However, I would like to ask that all of us, men and women alike, use the name of the Purse Posse wisely in your statments and comments here on the stream.  We've all been liberal with the name and all in good fun.  But I have noticed a couple of times and have had it brought to my attention, as well, that the Posse "name" has been used in a manner that may be offensive, degrading, or exploitive of women.

So please be careful and mindful of what you say in conjunction with the Purse Posse.  The purpose of this blog is to be a positive and fun experience and I believe we should all uphold and protect the respect from each other and from others as women.  There is sometimes a fine line between fun and distasteful, so if you have any doubt about your statements or comments concerning the Purse Posse, please just air on the side of caution and not make the statement or comment.  And please don't use the "posse" name when defending your own blog or content of that blog if there is something there that might offend women in general.

Thank you!

Pup

Comment: INDOOR-ALL-NIGHT-BARBECUE

This one's for Lucy!

Saturday Night and Nothing to do! How about an in-the-kitchen-all-night-barbecue?

Get a 3-4 pound roast ... Pick a cut with a lot of fat! Southerners like to use pork but I haven't eaten pork in a long time, so I use beef or even lamb. A friend has used venison too.

Mix up a simple dry rub:

3 T. Salt
3 T. Paprika
1 T. Garlic Powder
1 T. Dry Mustard
1 T. Brown Sugar

Mix it all together. Rub it all over the outside of the meat and press it into the meat ... like you are giving the meat a deep-tissue massage!

Wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for at least two hours (you can leave it overnight, if you want) but my plan is to put it in a covered clay baker and set the oven temperature at 250 around midnight and go to sleep ...

The smell will wake you up like Folgers in your cup!

Tomorrow morning, I will use a meat thermometer to check the inside temperature of the roast. When the thermometer reads 160-degrees, it's ready. Depending on the stove, it should be ready in about 8-9 hours at 250-degrees. If you want to cook it for 10 hours, turn the heat down to 225-degrees. If you want to cook it in 6 hours, turn the heat up to 275-degrees, although you'll have to experiment with your own oven a time or two before you get it down to a science. I'm advising you based on my oven.

I take it out of the oven, let it rest for 30 minutes and slice it with an electric knife, but some people just pull it apart. The first method is sliced and the second method is pulled. Both are yummy!

You can serve it with regular picnic fare ... potato salad, coleslaw ... or you can put it on buns and serve it with chips ... Some people eat it with dirty rice and baked beans on the side. It is completely up to you!

Have fun!
