[Dawgluver]

I baked some more pumpkin pie guts and made some more cranberry orange relish, so that, as I forgot to thaw the still-solid ziplock of chili.

 

[Just Cooking]

We are eating last nights barely touched cube steak dinner.. We had eaten so much crab dip and salami and cheese that we could not eat much last night..

We had a complete repeat of Tday dinner last night, so it's time for fancy cow tonight.


Pan fried bacon wrapped Filet Mignon, loaded baked potatoes and spinach salad.

 

[Whiskadoodle]

Nearly turkey dinner repeat. Fried potato cakes w/ gravy, turkey w/ gravy, a tiny spoonful stuffing w/ gravy, Everything goes better w/ gravy. A tiny spoon green bean and mushroom casserole, not quite the same as The Green Bean casserole, pretty good. I doctored up cranberry sauce today w/ grated ginger. Dx had canned cranberry jelly. There's quite a few jars of open pickles to choose, I had one. Pickle. And to wind it up, a small slice pecan pie w/ ice cream.

Local supermarket had filet mignon on sale for $8 / lb. Steak on the grill, roasted sweet potatoes, nuked broc. I picked up a few filets for the freezer.

My dad bought the shrimp. It was Argentinian wild-caught shrimp, and they were HUGE!!! I've never seen shrimp that big before.

I bought everything else, and accidentally bought Thai Basil instead of Italian Basil. It worked, but the flavor is very different.

It was a good meal. It is one of the dishes I just make from instinct and memory. I've never bothered to write down a recipe.

Nice steaks, Roch. I wish I could sear steak on top the stove, but each time it sets the smoke detectors to screaming.

Sorry to see this, Andy. I hope you two feel better soon. FWIW, red wine goes pretty good with cheddar Goldfish...


I made a pot of chili. Cheater chili, since I use Bush's Texas chili beans. I added some ground chipotle pepper tonight - so good and smoky.

Sorry to hear this. Hope it wasn't the Turkey from TG - a common problem from turkey (or whatever) left out for hours on holidays.


It was sort of a soup day here. Though it got warmer, it was dark and dismal all afternoon, plus, I had some mushrooms I had to use up, and mushrooms and barley just go together. Besides the mirepoix and some broth, I added some soaked and washed dried boletus mushrooms - something that I ad to many of my mushroom dishes - and I used some of that Syrian oregano, instead of the thyme, since I had to trim that plant in the hydro. I added about 2/3c brown lentils at the beginning (only because I had a jar with that left in it, and I wanted to empty it, and get it off of the shelf!). I cooked all of that and the barley 4 hours in the Instant pot, on slow cooker mode, adding the browned mushrooms toward the end. It was a little thin, despite the lentils disintegrating, so I added some barley flour, which thickened it up well. A generous amount of black pepper, added at the end, was the only heat in it, which is unusual for me!

Were they Royal Reds?

 

[medtran49]

Last night, we used up some of the leftover smoked turkey in smoked turkey soup with wild rice, carrots, onions, green onions, garlic, fresh thyme and rosemary. It also has a bit of sherry added in at the end. It's a longstanding fave to use up smoked turkey.

We had Bibimbap

Were they Royal Reds?

I have no idea. They were pink like other Argentinean shrimp, and they were wild caught and huge, that's all I know. They had a pretty strong flavor. Not offensively strong, but stronger than the average gulf shrimps.
