I've always loved to cook. I was a little disappointed that my youngest son didn't pick up the family torch. His idea of cooking is drive-through take out. I'm pretty sure when 'dad' cooks for his two boys (6 and 8) it consists of microwave chicken nuggets or delivered pizza.

His wife has been away with taking care of her father a few days a week so the wife and I decided we could help out by taking a hot meal up there once a week when his wife is away..just to make sure the young'ns were getting a decent meal.

Last week were all chowing down on homemade chicken pot pie and broccoli and I asked one of my grandsons what his dad cooks that he likes. "Beef Stroganoff" was his reply. I was amazed. I guess my son had taken the bull by the horns and was cooking up some good grub for his sons. After dinner I was cleaning up and noticed this in the kitchen trash:

It's a start I guess.....

Is anyone who saw that commercial when it first came out able to say, "and I helped" without the Southern accent? I can't help myself. It just comes out that way. Which makes those who never saw that commercial look at me wondering why I said it that way. Oh, well. Those who know me well, understand. Those who don't, need to visit the link Paden offered up overnight in response to bad behavior by FrancisH in that huge thread.

She made ours with some left over round steak from Sunday, then whipped up her own recipe for the sauce, had a one sided debate with SO about whether or not to put mushrooms in it. (Mom, my taste buds don't like mushrooms- Too Bad" ) - not sure what she put in it for seasonings but it was great.... most anything that comes out of that 14" cast iron skillet is...

From your postings, Mrs File always appears to be a fine cook with healthy instincts to her recipes.
The brown rice is a nice touch.
For Stroganoff which really is a fatty creamy carb and cholesterol train wreck of a dish, I'm thinking that she substituted Greek yoghurt for the sour cream ingredient and spiced it with a some pinches of smoked paprika for the flavor. Yes the mushrooms are needed as long as they are not over cooked.
Your a lucky man Mr. File.

That's it, over noodles with peas on the side. Rice is for folks who intend to cast a smaller shadow than myself.

Some of us can't say anything without a Southern accent.

I think I saw a can of tuna way back on one of the pantry shelves the other day. Haven't bought bread in two weeks but if the stuff in the fridge still doesn't have furry stuff on it I'll be having a sandwich! The mayo may still be good too - if I remember the expiration date was sometime in 2016... If its bad there's always the French's mustard.

A few months ago I "deep" cleaned our canned goods pantry. I found two cans of sardines that had an expiration date of 1999.

They were still good...one mustard and one hot sauce flavor..

Did the staff at the hospital that pumped your stomach tell you both cans were good?

Actually at the same time I found a stray can of Mandarin Oranges dated 2005 that was at the "maypop" stage. The can was swollen to its full extent. That went directly to the trash. I opened the sardines and gave them my best (and highly scientific) nose test. They smelled like canned sardines...so I grabbed a couple of saltines and did what I do best just to say I did it.

Of course my wife swore up and down if I needed to go to the ER I would have to drive myself.

I just had to add that to my bucket list. Once when I was six years old my granny cleaned out her cellar of home canned products and made some peach cobbler from a dusty stash she found. The dates written on the jars were before I was born. 😉

Canned sardines already smell like something not fit to eat at the time they are placed in the can.

Yeah, it's a bit like, how do you know when sour cream goes bad?

Actually sour cream is like strawberries...they both grow a green beard when they're too old....
