[S-Met]

Rock cod tacos

 

[Staestc]

Man, I've only been offline a few days and there are a ton of truly amazing posts I had missed.

Last night's T-Bones, Cinnamon rolls I made for Christmas day, and Guinness Chocolate Chip cookies and little rum cakes (or what's left of them) that I did right before Christmas eve.

Edit: Oh, and the breakfast meats I did for Christmas Eve brunch. Black pepper bacon, jalapeno bacon, regular bacon, hot sausage, and honey baked ham. Mexican egg casserole and waffles not shown

Tastes like chicken.

That just cracked me up! Funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Well done Paul!

Nice looking steak

 

[benco]

Raining here and staying inside, this is for the French.

 

[schematix]

Grilled pork chop with grilled mushrooms sautéed with butter and shallots, risotto and green fries.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Used a little leftover pie filling for this sweet potato waffle served with real maple syrup and a side of BBQ rub bacon from bacon of the month.

Last night's dinner party for 8 menu:

The main: smoked prime rib over mushroom duxelle paired with a sour belgian from a local brewery.

And dessert: creme brulee cheesecake, coffee icecream paired with Mumm brut prestige.

Quiche. Made four pies. More meals for the freezer. I used heavy cream instead of milk. Other ingredients: sharp white cheddar, feta, asparagus, onion, garlic and spinach. I made the crust as well.

@S-Met
Nicely done. I'm sure your guests were blown away.

Dungeness crab season - our neighbors are part of a co-op and had more crab than they could finish

 

[schematix]

Beef and broccoli with prime tenderloin trimmings.

 

[Temptd2]

Dang y'all got me salivating here!!

I made a Hungarian goulash last night, in the Instant Pot - half venison stew cubes and half grass-fed beef stew cubes. Turned out awesome. Forgot to take pictures - will try to do that when we serve it up again tonight at which point I expect it will taste even BETTER!

Had a bunch of leftover Dungeness crab from Christmas eve dinner...

Reheated it in garlic butter and sprinkled with crushed up caesar croutons. It was delicious and way better than crab cakes. I don't know why people waste delicious crab by adding all those other ingredients for crab cakes...

tacos

You made the shells, right? The have the same look as when I deep fry quartered tortillas or whole for tostada shells.
It seems every maker of cooked tortillas is afraid of cooking oil.

Fried the tortilla shells, yes. Did not make the tortilla.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Beefy noodle soup was a good meal for this rainy, windy and bone chilling day.

 

[davidabcd]

Yeah, there is a line. If I can't make a product significantly better than what I can buy, I buy it. Uncooked tortillas is one of them.
Nice tacos.

 

[davidabcd]

Having an HB Quad and cooking cajun chicken. Pounded them to almost 1/4" and used a random cajun blend which turned out 85% well. I eat the breasts with a side of mayo to sidestep the carbs. If someone were so inclined, melting Colby cheese on the breasts and serving them on a buttered and grilled French bread with shredded ice burg lettuce, tomato and mayo is nice.
I edited to put the correct final dish photo

Toast, Dungeness crab, some aoili, and an egg

Nice tacos.

I'm really spoiled, raw tortillas are everywhere and we even have great cooked tortillas.

 

[davidabcd]

Fired up the grill for some burgers.

 

[Pkrd]

Snap. Made this while the family was out on Sunday. Started well but kinda regretted the extra patty towards the end.

Yeah, I wouldn’t share, either! Lol

 

[davidabcd]

Very nice burger!
So you fizzled out after one double That's probably smart. I ate both that were in my photo above. Let's see...5 1/3 oz patties times 4...equals a LOT of beef. I was fine afterward, obviously full, and it did cover lunch and dinner for me.

 

[GnenieGone]

Never give up..never surrender! That looks awesome!

Forgot pictures again but tonight made a brined/bone-in/rotisseried pork loin, turnips au gratin, homemade cranberry jalapeno sauce. It's our 25th anniversary and we opted to stay home. Works for me! Champagne toasts coming up here in 15 minutes when the first volley of aerial fireworks goes off to acknowledge the New Year in Times' Square - then in two more hours, they do it again here for our own New Year celebration. We have front row seats in our own living room windows. No cold, no crowds, no parking and no trying to beat everyone else home!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Happy New Year! Hubby took me out for seafood, and we were back home before things got nutty on the roads. Had some noshes including herring and opened a bottle of mead for a toast.

 

[Staestc]

Happy New Year! Got blackeyed peas cooking with a ham bone and just got Colcannon finished.

 

[davidabcd]

18.78 pounds of prime rib beef for today. Pictures to follow, probably.

I did a 15.5 pound prime rib last night on my pellet smoker for friends and family. That will feed a lot of people.

 

[dwhite60]

New Year's day tradition, we have the family over for Cincinnati chili and coney's. Started as my son's birthday celebration as he was born 12/31.

All the Best,
D. White

Home alone (well with the cat) today, but that doesn't mean I can't get a riff on choûcroute garní going, and I'll have leftovers! Staples for me are bacon and Slovenian sausage from the local charcuterie king. Rendered diced bacon and caramelized onion with it. Drained natural, organic sauerkraut went in, along with the sausage, sliced peeled apple, a little caraway and a grating of nutmeg, a grind of pepper, and covered with beer (Coors Banquet was on hand; I've learned that even my Helles is a touch too bitter for this application.) Going to have it with parsley potatoes and bread (mine of course) and butter. Then probably a nap.

Nice. Any photos? I'm going to try and get a R-MR money shot. We'll see. We chill on NYE so I'm going to be drinking CBS and Backwoods Bastard.

 

[Robert65]

I love it when a plan comes together.

 

[guydlilley]

Beer brind pork loin, browned in castiron skillet,then into a 400 degree oven until interior temperature was 155 degree, tented with aluminum foil for 15 minutes, and sliced for New year's dinner.

 

[paulthenurse]

Scallops in bacon and chicken kabobs on the grill.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Honey baked ham was a gift, broccoli, gherkin salate, and escalloped potatoes

Looks delicious! Gotta love those HBH gifts! That ham bone in my black eyed peas and the ham in my colcannon were part of one such gift!!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

@Staestc Yes! A bone-in ham is a gift that keeps on giving! I’m pretty sure I’ll be using it for bean soup.
