Supper was a sausage, rice, bok choy, stuffed mushroom (yeah I made more), and Pancetta Wrapped Leek Gratin. (This time Andy I did use Pancetta, good stuff! But my cayenne didn't sprinkle, just a wee tad too much for me but didn't ruin the dish)

Tuna melt and a little bitty salad. I tried something other than just tuna, mayo, and relish. This time, along with the aforementioned, I also added some dill, chopped celery, a spritz of lemon, some mustard, and Wooster sauce. And after all that, it really didn't taste all that different from just mayo and relish.

Worst thing about it was, I used Safeway bread. I'd been buying Orowheat large sliced bread but for the last two months, I noticed they don't double pack their bread anymore (plastic wrapped inside of a bag) and it's as dry as the Sahara now. So I got Safeway and their bread must really have a lot of air in it, because the top of it just disintegrated when it was in the pan and I tried to flip it. In fact, the bread was so prone to tearing apart that for the first time ever, I ate my tuna melt with a knife and fork.

Dessert is a double chocolate-dipped ice cream cone I picked up from DQ on the way home from the store today, but I'm too full to eat it. Ring the bell everyone! That's never happened before in history!
 
I couldn't decide what I wanted. Well, I was thinking of I new to me recipe, but I just couldn't motivate myself to make it. So, I roasted the veggies that I was planning on having with the new recipe and made a tuna salad with some fancy Italian tuna in olive oil. I didn't notice much, if any, improvement the good quality tuna I usually buy. And now I have a bunch of oil to get rid of. At least when the tuna is in water or broth, you can pour the liquid down your drain. Physically, it's possible to pour the oil down my kitchen drain. It would just be a bad idea. I'm trying not to use mayo very much because of the salt and oh boy, that tuna had a lot of sodium. I think I will try adding a bit of crème fraiche another time. So, afer that digression, I will finish by saying that I had the tuna salad as a wrap with some wholewheat pita. Then I had some more on knækbrød (rye crisp bread).
 
Was Wednesday an official Tuna day? LOL Out of 9 posts, 3 were tuna, 3 seafood of some sort, 6 out of the 9 and then 1 vegie, 1 beef, 1 pork thrown in for good measure. LOL
 
Freeze it. If your compost takes meats and bones, not all do, but some. Once frozen scrape into paper towel to dispose of.
Good idea, but it will have to go into the garbage. My city only picks up compostables from single family homes, not from apartment buildings or condo associations. :ermm::glare:
 
Country Pork Ribs and Vegetables

I made this New-To-Me recipe. It is not as pretty as the photo on the website, but was yummy enough. Instead of a slow cooker, I used a Dutch oven at 280 degrees Fahrenheit for 4.5 hours. Before placing in the oven, I browned the ribs. The best part is that it is a "set it and forget it" meal in a pot.

The pork is very good in this dish. The fat in the ribs pretty much melted into the meat making it extremely tender. The potatoes and carrots were quite nice ,though the celery was a bit overcooked. The onions melted into the sauce and could not be seen after mixing in the soup.

If I make this again, I will make some changes.
  • Add a good squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Up the water to a 1.5 cups if I cook in the Dutch oven.
  • Likely switch the water to vegetable broth.
  • Add mushrooms.
  • Grace the final dish with some chopped parsley.
