Pardon my misspelling I can hardly see.

I ended up making my own marinate.
1/2 cup vegi oil
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 Ts Worcestershire sauce
2 clove garlic
1 ts black pepper (fresh course ground)
1 ½ ts salt
let meat and mushrooms sit in marinate over night
I made half chicken and half beef
The chicken ones have pineapple
The beef have mushrooms


Oh and don't worry about the misspellings. My eyesight has grown worst too. I think it's intended by nature that way older women still look great.

That marinade looks pretty good, Carlos.

Just wanted to say I found boiling and then soaking the ham pieces overnight in the fridge with a potato really seemed to work for taking the sodium out. My bean soup was mild, but it wasn't salty, and my mother was happy, :~).

Hey Gordon. keeping your mother happy is 3/4 the battle. LOL
I heard a few weeks ago potatoes would help taking out of salt myself.
I'll remember that for next time, I don't like too much salt myself.

Had a funny one yesterday I had leftover take out food in a bunch of boxes, lots of veggies and fried rice, pork to boot in it. put them in a pot with chicken broth and I have to say it was the best soup I ever made by far.

Goes to show you sometimes dumb moves turn out well. :))

@ Gordon Lowe
I am happy to see that the potato thingy worked for you.

@ Angela
LSM and I both agree that people get better looking with age
not worse. Not only am I better able to judge such things, but
how could such beautiful creatures as human females ever look
any less lovely, especially now that I can see so much more of
all the true beauty they possess.

Not back, just visiting....

Yankee thrift and ingenuity at work, sadly a talent mostly missing in today's world......Way to go Grant!.........";>)

"Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)>

sure worked for me too, thanks Celt.

I forgot to say I did add some potatoes to cut down on the salt, I think I had everything out a garden in there. LOL

Today I had Pölsa very similar in taste and consistency to Scottish haggis:)
Doesn't look nice but it's very tasty.

Perhaps next time I will serve it with "neeps and tatties", boiled and mashed separately, and a dram:)

Are those sliced beets in that picture above?^

Looks kinda like oatmeal cookie dough. I have no idea what haggis looks like and apparently you love haggis or hate it.

I am not a cook but I like experimenting adding different things to bread in a breadmachine. No recipes though. But the two that people like best, for different reasons, is cinnamon raisin bread which is kinda expensive because it has extra everything in it and tastes better than anything you buy, and onion dill cottage cheese bread which for reasons I have no explanation for but maybe you do makes guys feel horny when they smell it, at least young guys, at least my friends who are young guys, and so women want it sometimes. 8o No recipes just add more extra ingredients to normal bread and adjust it so it makes dough. 8)

And a bad experience was I tried cooking beans, you know like dry navy beans, and they were cooked but I wanted the liquid around them to be thicker so I thought that if people thicken cooked things with flour then I could add a little flour and stir it around and cook it and that would work. Well, it did thicken, too much as a matter of fact, so it was like beans in jelly. But that didn't matter, it just looked weird. 8\ The problem was it changed the taste completely. It tasted like what garbage smells like. All that time spent soaking and cooking and I ruined it in a couple minutes. I was determined to eat them anyway. So I ate a meal of it and washed out the taste with something. Nobody else would even consider eating something that looked like it did, bean pudding. The rest I put in the fridge. At the next meal I tried to eat it, cold bean garbage pudding reheated, and choked some down. It was too much for me. I tried adding different things but that only made things worse, like ketchup or carrots or I don't remember what. I stopped and put it away again feeling not so well. 8/ After that I would take it out and look at it but couldn't eat it, and then put it back. Eventually I threw it away. I haven't tried to thicken anything since. 8P

And that is about the only cooking things I have worth mentioning. 8°

I didn't mean to write a cookbook... Oh well...

When my GF cooked she made some kick ass meals, I asked did you write it down? NOOOOOO !!! LOL

I stumble on some good stuff once in a while and try to change it also, sometimes good and others Yuck!

I play with cakes and bread and pies most of the time but I try it once by the book and then try it my way, LOL

What I really like to make is Chocolate Mayo Cake, and heavy on the chocolate. LOL

I am making Kabobs for a Superbowl party. Expect about 35. Any suggestions on the marinade?

Ethiopion gaot urine should be pretty good. :-)

Are those sliced beets in that picture above?^

Yes. Pickled beetroots that balance the dish with some acid.
Not used in Scotland.
Also, here we don't have the tradition "Piping" of the haggis and some more rituals when being served haggis:)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burns_supper#The_haggis

Well Haggis doesn't sound very good to me but if I was down and out I bet I would eat it. LOL

I didn't even know about it until last year when Chris S. told me about it.

Had a meal from the store last night, Mexican Style Lasagna it was pretty good. But now I have to try to make it better so my GF can eat it. LOL
