I know some of us call this meal Supper, then some call it Dinner, but today I don't really care one way or the other. It's just plain food to me right about now! We haven't had a decent meal since last weekend, I couldn't look down at another hot dog, fish sandwich or po-boy again! I needed a hot meal.
I'm showing you two plates with the identical amount of food, but, you know who accused the cook of cheating. Aren't we the perfect couple, fussing about who has the larger helping! LOL. Really now, his plate does hold more!
I haven't fried chicken in months, so I had to get these out of the freezer because they'd started to thaw. The gravy is the rich dark, New Orleans style. (Remind me to show you how to make the roux for it). The salad is a simple toss with cracked pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Biscuits are also homemade, for the Mister!
Dessert is simply a bowl of dutch chocolate ice-cream with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. I am stuffed and couldn't eat it all! But, you know who want seconds! It was really satisfying after not having a meal in days. I thought about you all though, that's why I'm sharing this meal with you. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! LOL. Love Ya!
That is the same photo of plate of food! LOL! You must have mistakenly uploaded the same photo twice, and thought you uploaded the two different plates. Trust me, I love looking at food, so I look at each pea or grain of rice on a plate! So I can't be on your side, or your husband's side, to say which plate looked like it had more food. But everything certainly looked delicious!
ReplyDeleteBest,

just to confuse the issue my husband (but not all Brits!) calls it "tea", which is actually different to "afternoon tea", and I call it supper!
ReplyDeleteWhen we come to stay with my cousins in SC we have biscuits with pot roast and I just LOVE biscuits :)

ReplyDeleteDear Loretta, I'm sorry to read about the bad weather where you are. I guess we've been more than blessed here in the UK that we sometime forget that others are suffering. I'm pleased that you finally had a nutricious hot meal.
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious :o)
God bless you.
I am hungry now. That looks so yummy. I love rice and gravy and fried chicken. So glad that all is OK with you after the storms. So much tragedy and loss. It saddens me. I continue to pray for these families.
