What did I cook this weekend.....

[Temptd2]

It is just about flat-top weather around here too!

Merry, that is a gorgeous loaf and would be a favorite of mine. Yum.

I've just finished canning 5 pints of corned beef chunks; next up, two corned beef brisket flats in the Instant Pot.

Corned beef dinner. For added good luck I added a few ounces of my HB Irish Red Ale while it was cooking.

Been traveling in Japan for the last, almost, three weeks and haven't touched a cooking utensil until tonight. Decided to save a few Benjamin's tonight and go to the grocery store (ready to go home though, suitcase living has gotten a bit old).

Also we picked up a new kitchen knife while here.

 

[Temptd2]

Beautiful knife! I'd love one like that some day. We've watched Forged in Fire for years and enjoyed learning the process on blades like that one!

Cooked two corned beef briskets in the Instant Pot; panfried cabbage with bacon and onion; boiled baby carrots and turnip chunks in the leftover broth from the corned beef. The beef was so good, we went back to the store this morning to pick up a few for the freezer and not one to be found! OH WELL.

Kept seeing this recipe everywhere. Decided to give it a try. Marry Me Chicken.

 

[Temptd2]

It looks great - how'd you like it?

 

[Oldskewl]

Thanks! Both my wife and I liked it. The sundried tomatoes pack alot of flavor. I will make it again.... occasionally(not the healthiest with the heavy cream and butter). But you gotta live once in awhile. This is the recipe I used.

I haven’t seen many pieces of corned beef hanging around my neck of the woods either. I’ll probably cook mine this weekend.

We went to two markets and there was none - went to Walmart and they had lots! It's a brand I've had before, Blarney Stone, so I bought four of them and stuffed them in the freezer. KOTC can't wait to make some pastrami!

Of course I could buy a hunk of beef and corn my own... But... yeah, maybe someday.

Butter and cream don't scare me at all! Soy oil, canola oil, etc., now those scare me....

My mom used to make cream chicken. it was a whole or couple chickens parted and browned then put in roaster and topped with cream. all the chicken fat and cream for gravy on mashed potatoes, was delicious.

Dinner for one tonight.

Looks great!! But it makes me wonder what you'd have made if you were cooking ON acid!!

Shrimp with colorful legos maybe. LOL

Finishing off the corned beef with a nice Reuben and beer.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Just the usual corned beef dinner.

 

[OleBrewing]

After brew morning. Put together chicken dumpling soup for the pending 12" of snow and blizzard winds.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Hearty soups are always a good choice for a winter day.

I had picked up a package of a dozen croissants at Costco, which is far too many for 2 people to eat before they are totally stale, so croissant French toast and a small experimental “bread” pudding, that I made. If the hubby like the bread pudding I have more the make a bigger batch.

That looks a lot like my Christmas dinner for one.

Love that show...been watching since season one!

Hot dog and carrot - both wrapped in bacon

Saw a recipe for Greek Cod Al Papillote yesterday. Decided to give it a try with Haddock. Haddock on a bed of tomato & red onion, S&P, and oregano. Topped with sun dried tomato, kalamata olives, capers, and lemon, S&P, and thyme. I didn't mess with wrapping in parchment and opted for a covered casserole dish. I thought it turned out great, my wife wasn't as thrilled with it.

 

[Temptd2]

@TwistedGray, longtime, season 1 viewers of Forged in Fire here too! I hope they keep making it.

@Oldskewl that sounds and looks delicious. I have a bunch of cod in the freezer - would you share the recipe? Purty please?

Hoppy2bMerry, it was my choice and I loved the solitude. My wife was in France taking care of family business, I had to stay in NM for family business, and both of our kids invited me for Christmas but I really just wanted a quiet, peaceful day, and it worked.

I hear you, then I hope your lamb chops were cooked the way you wanted them, and were delicious!

 

[Temptd2]

The older I get, the more I love my solitude! KOTC and I moved 7 years ago to a state we had never lived in, knew no one - people were appalled! But we have loved every minute of it.

I say, do what works for YOU. Food included, of course....

 

[TwistedGray]

Lamb rack, double baked sweet tater, and some kale from the garden

@Temptd2 I followed an Instagram post from Mediteranian.diet.plan
I can’t seem to find a recipe exactly like it but this one is close.

https://www.lauramali.com/cod-en-papillote-greek-style/

I basically sliced tomatoes and red onion layered them on the bottom seasoned with s&p and oregano, next was the fish seasoned with s&p and thyme, topped the fish with sun dried tomatoes, black or Kalamata olives, capers and a slice of lemon. Then wrap tight in parchment. Recipe said they cooked in air fryer at 350F for 15 min. I did mine in the oven in a casserole dish and my fish was pretty thick so it was 375F for 30 min. Hope this helps.
