Ground Hog Day Dinner - 2/2/2018

[tenspeed]

I very carefully typed in the date for this one, and then double checked it.

Already know what's for dinner. We're leaving for the tropics tomorrow, so it's clean out the fridge day. Leftover lasagna and anything else that needs to go.

 

[Rocklobster]

Lasagne here, too..probably..that's a long way away..I thawed a container of some Sunday sauce I made a couple of weeks ago..going to chop up the meats in it and layer it in with sauce and noodles...usually have a salad and some garlic bread wit that..let's get through a busy 10 hour Friday at the deli first..have a good one, everybody!
Have a nice trip, Ten...I'm envious..

Falukorv today, so there will be Korvstroganoff with pasta or rice. I be cooking this in 1 hour.

 

[CWS4322]

Chicken breasts with wild rice, mixed veggies. I am thawing pork loin for tomorrow. Running out of ideas for the Elders...

It's off to Google I go, again.

I'm doing short ribs in the Instant Pot with bacon, onions, garlic, honey, thyme, beef stock and a bit of balsamic vinegar. I may look through my Penzeys stash and find something more interesting than just thyme.

I have some sprouting russet potatoes, so I'll serve the ribs over mash. I also have a bunch of veggies that need to be used, so I'll make a sautéed veggie medley, too.

Have a great getaway, Tenspeed!

This afternoon's meal will be a sub/hoagie/grinder with what I had on hand. Brats, sautéed onions and red, yellow and green bells, and long sandwich rolls from Albertsons. Probably just a smear of mayo on the toasted bread. Dill pickle spears for a side.

Souschef (aka super shopper) came home from the store all excited that he broke his record by spending $103 and saving $108.

I had a lot of prep work to do for his "hunting" treasures.

"Dolly" chicken breasts and thick pork chops have all been brined (yes, separately) and ready for the freezer, deli bacon cut in half and portioned out, King crab legs broken down, and rib eye steaks with two for dinner.
Sides to be determined.

 

[salt and pepper]

Made fresh water bagles, so I'm thinking pizza bagel with the last of the pizza sauce. And fruit.

 

[Rocklobster]

Falukorv today, .

Watch your language!

 

[caseydog]

Rock, I was thinking Falukorv was a chair sold at IKEA.

Good to see that no ground hogs are on the menu this evening.

 

[caseydog]

^^^ I've heard they can be rather gamey, especially if they see their shadows.

BTW, your brats are made with... "ground hogs."

[buckytom]

Yes, the groundhog who lives under our shed, Henry, is happy to hear that.

His buddy Chip wasworried about him all day.

When I went shopping the other day, a butcher came out of the back and put out a few huge packages of poorly trimmed bone in pork rib roasts. Apparently, a new butcher screwed them up and wasn't cutting through the chine bone correctly. So I grabbed a package of 2 roasts packed together: one huge 8 bone rack, and another 3 or 4 bone loin end roast. Together they must weigh. 15 pounds. Not a bad deal for $12.

I froze the rack for a futur meal, then hacked the loin end roast, and trimmed it up into large cubes.

Tonight, I pounded out the cubes, marinated them in Korean pork bbq sauce, then pan fried them.

Alongside, I made a stir fry of Shanghai Tips (bok choy), shiitakes, Vidalia onions, napa cabbage, and mung bean sprouts. And a side of sticky rice.

There's a lot left over, so I'm thinking of turning the leftover pork into a chili for Sunday's game.

You two are so full of baloney!


It was an "everything into the pool...er, oven" meal, except for the asparagus. Carrots with Aleppo pepper, beets with fresh-grated nutmeg, turnips with sage, and ham studded with cloves. Just a touch of butter on the asparagus. A perfect vegetarian meal. Well, except for that pesky (and delicious) little pile of ham.

...We're leaving for the tropics tomorrow...

Happy trails to you and your lovely Mrs., ten! I hope you two have a wonderful vacation.

You don't need to send us postcards, but a posted photo or two of your interesting dinners would be nice.

Nice deal. A good chili should be a nice meal while watching the Rockets play the Cavs on Sunday. That should be a good game. Both teams need some wins in a big way.

[buckytom]

I think my son has a few football buddies coming over Sunday to watch the Stuper Bowl, so I'm making Buffalo wings, loaded nachos (I have to go back and find K-L's recipe), and now maybe chili.

I thought you'd be rooting for them birds, Casey.

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

Ooh my GOSH!
Y'all are so funny, how could I stay away for more than one day, seriously!!

CG, I'll take that "vegetarian" meal any day
BuckyTom, you had me at Korean and sticky Rice (DH & I have ban that for the time being ~ y'know it's almost swimsuit season )

Tonight was a Miners Mix kinda night
You folks NEED to order some of this stuff, really!

I have been a guinea pig for these folks (unpaid-no advertising going on here) and their newest, Roast & Prime Rib Herb Seasoning & Rub is fantastic!
I also used their Steak & Veggie Seasoning tonight, MMM!

It got to 75⁰ here in the middle of the desert, so I fired up the gas grill.
I'm sure that the smells coming from our backyard has driven our neighbors MAD!



Roast & Prime Rib here on a New York Strip


Steak & Veggie on assorted Veg


... and MOST DE~LI~CIOUS here!

I used some Olive Oil on everything, sprinkled the Miners Mix, oil helps to "bloom" spices, but you folks all knew that already!
