What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

Also today it is necessary to ask for forgiveness from all the people whom I have offended, willingly or unwittingly (intentionally or without malicious intent) and. I apologize to anyone I may have offended. Forgive me, people, and God will forgive you!

I don't believe in that god stuff, but you're alright by me Andrey. Keep on keepin on :^)

 

[Maximalist]

P.S. About soup, similar to borscht, I will speak out tomorrow, because today it is not customary to tease on serious topics)

It is customary to answer like this: ,, I forgive, and God will forgive,,. There is a deep subtext in these words - the main thing is that God forgives....

The day before Ash Wednesday we always had pancakes for dinner. No idea why, but it was Pancake Tuesday.

A search of "Pancake Tuesday" gave me this...

Shrove Tuesday - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

We never did any special meals growing up aside from fish on Friday some times of the year, but I wouldn't eat fish when I was little.

Leftover split pea soup.

Brief derail-
I love the word Shrove, So fun. It follows this old English conjugation structure that feels really unusual in modern English. Like stove. (Smashed/broken up) being the past tense for to stave. Or Rove as past Tense of reeve. Anyone have more fun old timey past tense verbs that they use/ are common in your English dialect?

anyways - Back to the Food

Before the adoption of Christianity in Russia , the day of the vernal equinox was celebrated
((March 20). Then it was customary to eat pancakes. The pancake symbolizes the sun. It's just that this custom of eating pancakes was moved to Shrovetide Week.

Looks like tomato something tonight.

That's a lot of tomatoes! If I get off my ass in time, I'll try to get some in the ground this year. I like them with vinegar and black pepper in a bowl.

 

[Maximalist]

You have good taste!

 

[Mrs.B]

Nice looking batch of tomatoes! I grew some 2 seasons ago, but can no longer give up the water for plants of any kind. We will be real lucky if our well makes it thru this year.

Andreij, that Russian standard vodka is just so fine.
Except for Polish Belvedere it is the best vodka, I have tasted.

 

[stig]

Nice, Steve.
I'll be sowing my tomatoes next weekend.
Inside, under srow lights.
Then sometime in may, they go out in the poly tunnel.

Your picture got me all fired up.

Stig, I'm not going to talk to you until you give satisfaction for the insults you've inflicted on Butch.

 

[stig]

Probably should excuse myself to Putin, too.

Right?

 

[Jonny]

I’m about to get to work on dinner shortly.

Garlic herb crusted ribeyes
Shrimp Alfredo over angel hair
Bacon wrapped sea scallops
Probably a can of green beans with a little of the bacon and fried in the bacon grease

Pinot noir with the beef, maybe champagne with the shrimp, later, margaritas.

Also chocolate mousse with some whipped cream and cherries.

 

[lxskllr]

Ah, yes. Typical Monday dinner. I used to do something similar when my daughter still lived here.

:^P

 

[stikine]

Vegetable and tofu soup tonight.

I didn't compare you to a stegosaurus for nothing. Stegosaurus had only 20% of the brain in the head, the remaining 80% were in the spinal cord, especially in the sacral region. That is, the stegosaurus thought with its ass, just like you.

Could you maybe keep politics and cooking apart, or is that too much to ask??

This is how the political cuisine in the West works - first a fake is created, and then this fake is passed off as the truth. I have not published a single post about politics here, on the contrary, even here you are trying to mention politics in one way or another. So carefully take your opinion in your hands and shove it into the place where your thoughts are born.

 

[Steve Mack]

Give it a rest max.

Lamb steak. Garlic, olive oil, black pepper and fresh rosemary.
