Originally Posted By DLfreek86 Barbeque chicken, squash, garlic bread and other stuff I'm sure. Oh and cheesecake and ice cream for dessert. So real shorcakes or the spongey twinkie kind? I'm curious. Real shorcakes are scones, pastry cream, berry compote, and chantilly cream(chantilly cream is a fancy schmancy word for lightly whipped cream, no peaks! A thickened but pourable consistency).
Originally Posted By Goofyernmost I went out this afternoon to mow my lawn and found my neighbor mowing it for me. I asked why and he said he just wanted the exercise.

Originally Posted By mele I love meatloaf. We had it for dinner on Friday. We usually use poundcake instead of shortcake, DLfreek. I'm too lazy to make either from scratch although I have made tart shells and filled them w/strawberry compote and whipped cream. Sometimes we use Cool-Whip but most of the time we use real whipped cream. We also prefer sweetened whipped cream over unsweetened and I usually whip it to a bit thicker consistency than chantilly cream. Oddly, I sometimes like a little half-and-half poured over pies or cobblers. My great-grandma used to serve it that way. Mmmm
