[tenspeed]

Not that we need an excuse, but today is National Drink Wine Day.

Light snow today, so I'll be making a pot of chili with a salad on the side. We'll be drinking some wine, of course.

We need a reminder?

I'll be eating soup tonight. I made a big pot of beef-veggie soup for my master gardener class tonight, and I'll sample whatever the other committee members bring.

Since everything outside is a sheet of ice and my boy had the day off, I taught him how to make marinara sauce from scratch (well, canned tomatoes).

Then he made fresh tagliatelle like he did the other day, and also used an old George Forman grill to make a few chicken breasts.

So, tonight is grilled chicken and pasta a la the boy.

Pot roast is in the IP. Asparagus and potatoes are prepped.

I'm doing a Beefy Ratatouille and adding Orecchiette pasta. Garlic Texas Toast on the side.
Whoops..almost forgot...a bottle of good wine.

Retrieved a frozen boneless turkey breast from my Thanksgiving parts turkey and pan roasted it. We had salad, stuffing and pan gravy to round out the meal.

I had to make a late change of plans. I thawed some chicken thighs, cut open the vacuum bag, and got hit with a funk that made me step back a few paces. So, that went to the trash. I have a pork loin in the Sous Vide circulator now. The planned side is some Boudin.

It's going to be a late supper tonight.

Bucky, sure sounds like your boy is becoming quite the home cook!

No wine for me today - I'm out and didn't feel like going to the store. I had produce to use up, so dinner this evening was another salad - romaine and lots of crunchy veggies, chopped hard cooked egg, and julienned beets. Topped it with Marie's ranch dressing and garlic seasoned croutons. Pretty yummy.

Dinner was Pot roast, mashed red & Yukon potatoes, mushroom onion gravy and asparagus.

National Drink Wine Day, eh? Around here, that's celebrated every day!

We had breakfast for supper. Link sausages, lard-fried home fries, and omelette. I wanted to use up some veggies, too; the omelette had onion, mushrooms, bell pepper...and bacon. Himself said it sounded like pizza toppings so I added mozzarella cheese.

Sounds and looks good.

Good looking meals MsM and CG.

I finally had some spoons for making supper. I did get a fair amount of help with breading the schnitzel. Team work for the win.

Pork schnitzel, rødål, and brown basmati rice. (Potato would have been better, but I'm not eating potatoes. ) This was served with pink wine.

Better late than never.

I cooked the loin sous vide for 3 hours at 145, then gave it a quick sear with the Searsall. Perfect. Just slightly pink -- and very tender and juicy.

The boudin was from a smokehouse in East Texas. I had never tried it before. It was a bit too up-front on the spices for cajun. But, it was pretty good, otherwise.

It is 36F outside, but I'm feeling nice and warm right now.

Pork schnitzel, rødål, and brown basmati rice. ...

D'oh! Should say "rødkål", which means "red cabbage. "Rødål" means "red eel". There was no eel served at this supper.

wild rice and chicken soup

A dish I stole and then made my own from a restaurant called I "heart" Tacos. It's a vegetarian burrito made with a filling of skinned/seeded poblano peppers cut in strips or diced, corn, diced onions, garlic, all sauteed, cooled, mixed with creama (which is kind of like a thin sour cream, but tangier) and a Mexican melting cheese, plus green rice (cilantro, onion, garlic, sometimes a raw poblano or green bell, mixed with rice cooking liquid in blender to pulverize solids), wrapped in a tortilla, topped with a green sauce (tomatillos, onions, garlic, sometimes a poblano) and some more cheese. They use the filling part for quesadillas and tacos as well.

Craig went red with a filling using chorizo, refried pinto beans, and I'm not sure what else he put in there besides some cheese, and a red rice (a dried chili, tomato, onion, garlic like above).
