Stay toasty, in the 50s today in the N East almost warm enough to just go with the long sleeves. Alas, there’s a storm on its way and temps to reach 60 in a couple days.
Tonights meal was salad, pork tenderloin and 3 cheese kasse spaetzle.
What did I cook this weekend.....

kasse spaetzle mmmmmmmmmmmm I like the cheeeeezy
I've taken to using beef shanks instead of ribs for that very reason, unless I see some seriously meaty short ribs. But I've become very fond of a nice thick well-marbled chuck roast!
Sunday brunch at home, as usual. Diced French fries and onion reheated in a dab of duck fat, oe egg, sourdough dough toast,
small piece of ham steak
Looks good Merry! I just bought a rare treat for us - a lovely round loaf of proper sourdough bread. I'll make garlic bread out of it for our Christmas eve repast of shrimp with cocktail sauce, steamed artichoke with melted butter, and champagne! Can't wait!
Now that's a combo I haven't tried! I love anchovies in pasta though so I'd probably enjoy sardines too!
Not yet but tomorrow.
Tenderloin roast. I rub this roast with taragon, sage, S&W). Before I tie it up, I remove all the silverskin and most of the outside fat, glue it into a homogenous log with moo gloo, tie with butchers twine and wrap with glad wrap while it heals into that log.
Seared dark all around over coals (seen below), then indirect until med rare). Sliced into a bunch of filets (failed to take pics of filets gah). Always a winner.
[edit] leftovers, a day later

At our daughter’s. She and her husband made homemade gnocchi and homemade sauce with meatballs and sausage. For dessert my wife made Torta della Nona.
Sugar free toffee with crushed macadamia nuts. Goooood stuff!
Imma gonna make that tart next week. Looks delish.
Pan sauce
Châteaubriand
Beef med-rare reverse seared. Garlic rosemary roasted potatoes, peas, creamed onions and homemade Parker house roll. Christmas Eve festivities left hubby and I feeling sick and we didn’t even drink much, but all the food was very rich. So this was our Christmas dinner, just a day late.

Pork roast 
Starting @ 12:00 homemade roll and sweet potatoes, going clockwise creamed onions, peas and carrots, then the end cut of the roast.
Happy New Year!
Forgot pictures but I did a 2-rib, 6.7# prime rib roast and a huge artichoke which we split. Nice glass of Hans Fahden Cab.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Dinner for one tonight, and one too many lamb chops.
Our 11 year old grandson is staying with us for a couple days and he wanted takeout pizza for dinner. I told him sure, but only if he picks the toppings. His choice was tomato sauce, cheese, artichokes, mushrooms, and chicken. I like all those but I would never have put that combo on a pizza. He liked it though, he ate five slices. Sorry, no pic.
Merry, looks delicious! DH loves it when we have leftover lamb chops - he has lamb and eggs for breakfast the next day. Learned how good that was decades ago at a little restaurant we liked.
Beermanpete, nope, wouldn't likely be a combo I'd order either (not a big fan of chicken on pizza) but the other stuff sounds good! Add some salami, pepperoni. and Italian sausage in place of that chicken and I would love it! Glad your GS liked it though and I'm sure he enjoyed picking out the ingredients.

This might be one of the more interesting cookbooks you all have seen. If you're into molecular gastronomy. Each chapter involves using an ingredient you likely aren't familiar with. I've been experimenting with spherification in the past (go to the Sodium Alginate chapter).
Just some chili with dry beans, and leftover meats from the new year celebration. (Last night)
Thanks for sharing, I’m probably not going to use those recipes, but they are pretty interesting to read.
I made a big pot of pollo manchamantel this week. Manchamantel translates to "tablecloth stainer" - LOL! It's a sort of molé sauce with several types of toasted dried chiles, chocolate, pineapple, etc. and then I cooked B/S chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces, in it. It's SO delicious. We use the sauce for just about any kind of meat - pork, beef, chicken, turkey.
Not my picture because I never remember to take one but it looks exactly like this:

Deep fried olives. An experiment that wasn't as tasty as I thought it would be LOL
Interesting. Points for trying.
My Mom used to wrap stuffed olives in a dough made of Old English Cheddar cheese spread in a jar with flour and baking powder. Then she'd either fry or bake them. They were really good. I should see if I have her recipe around somewhere, haven't had those in eons!
Definitely points for trying, Andrew.

I also did fried pickles, which I love. My experiments started with fried chicken, but when you've got the oil hot and a big bowl of batter, everything looks like a candidate for the fryer.
If ya got it - FRY IT!

Braised rabbit with various dried bolete mushrooms, carrots, radishes and potatoes.
Rack of lamb with powdered black trumpet mushroom and sweet fern seed pods then traditional mustard and bread crumbs
DROOOOOLING over both those dishes! I love rabbit - haven't had any in years though.
I made a small loaf of seeded Italian bread to go with the mussels in white sauce.
Merry that's a beautiful loaf and the mussels looke fantastic! I love those things!
Hubby is away so dinner for one. To the left is a salad with balsamic vinaigrette goat cheese and dried cranberries, top left garlic bread from leftover HM bread and a couple juicy lamb chops. Paired with HB blackberry stout.
Coconut curry with prawns and rice.
Red wine and beef broth braised (3.5 hrs) beef cheeks and aromatics with potatoes, carrots and celery added in the last 45 minutes. Tasty but no pics.

Made two of these this weekend for a party. Gave a lot of it away. Thanks for the idea. I did not add the top crust, but next time I might. Crust is tasty!

For Sunday lunch we had Lamb steaks slow cooked in red wine with onions, garlic, rosemary, mint, cranberry jelly, and onion marmalade. Served with roasted potatoes and vegetables.
Some good-lookin' food around these here parts lately!
Yesterday I pressure cooked a big pot of Christmas lima beans (Rancho Gordo) with smoked pork neck bones. The beans were old and took quite a while to get tender but man it turned out delicious. It's not pretty so no pictures but I'll make it again. Even KOTC, who has always professed to "hate lima beans" ate it up and complimented the chef!
