What did I cook this weekend.....

[HBT_Admin]

I've never heard of eggplant on what appears to be a type of pizza. I'll have to try it.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Hubby’s plate, top round for London broil, not pretty plating, though. Had some garlic bread with it too.

Looks deelish to me and cooked perfectly!

I'm slumming it. Terriyaki chicken stuffed pepper on top of chow mein and the remainder of the stuffing I didn't have peppers for.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Didn’t cook tonight. Stopped in at my friend’s brewery for a couple beers. Decided to also have a plate of nachos.

 

[Temptd2]

LOOOOVE me some nachos! That looks really good.

They were good, despite not adding the protein option. Didn't mean for them to replace my dinner, but I really didn't feel the need to eat again for the rest of the day.

 

[Rish]

Jamaican brown chicken, rice and peas, tostones and hard dough bread.

 

[Temptd2]

Boy, Red Stripe - haven't had one of those in many years.

Easter brunch at home. Kielbasa, hard cooked egg, buttered rye, and a dab of mustard and horseradish.

Okay dinner was perogie with caramelized onions and sour cream, peas home made dinner roll, hot apples with cinnamon and a splash of rum, and the star fresh ham with crackling rind. Happy Easter to those who celebrate.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

At 12 o’clock stuffing, broccoli, oven roasted chicken leg, leftover dinner roll.

 

[Temptd2]

Merry, those are some stellar plates of food - made my mouth water right away!

 

[BongoYodeler]

My wife and I went out today for a late lunch / early dinner at a local German-style biergarten. I had Paprikaschnitzel, served with spatzle and a side of spinach with garlic and onions.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Fresh ham bone steamed over homemade sauerkraut, leftover pierogi, green beans, and homemade sourdough rye.

 

[Temptd2]

Merry, your breads are always so beautiful! I wish I could eat them. They make my mouth water every time you post a picture!

Awe, thanks. I discovered a little maltster in Massachusetts that also produces stone milled flour from northeastern farmers. The rye flour that went into this loaf was rye grown in NY, my home state. Make good food with loving intentions, and support local is a triple win.

Saucisse de Toulouse, essentially what we call bratwurst in the states. Served with my wife's excellent mashed potatoes and a Trois Monts blonde beer.

I love that hybrid smoker, looks hella versatile!

Cheers!

It's not as good as the one I had in New Mexico, I gave it to my son. But it was built for me by our company welder out of heavy oil well casing, 20 inch diameter and 1/4 inch thick. It weighs about 400 pounds but it was a sweet smoker grill. 1000 square inches of grill space, 9 hooks in the smoker for racks of ribs, and 3 shelves for turkeys, ham, etc. This one is built in Germany and does the job, but it doesn't seal well enough for multi hour smoking.

We made beef barley soup, butternut squash, salad and biscuits.

 

[HBT_Admin]

I had family over. Did a brisket. Precooked because I was feeling lazy...and it was 70% fat. The end cuts looked good, but once I opened it up, it was just fat and I was furious.

I think I'm going to render it and use it some fashion. I'm not letting it go to waste.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Lobster and cheddar quesadilla with sour cream /garlic aioli sauce. Rice and beans. Lobster was leftover from a rubbery over cooked Connecticut style lobster roll, which I souse vide at 45c for about 4 hours. It worked out, the lobster was tender but not mush.

Agreed, never let brisket go to waste. I once over cooked one and the bark was like actual bark. I cut it into small pieces and made a batch of chili, added to pinto beans made a beef barley soup. They all turned out great because of my over cooked brisket.

I'm sure that was great chili.

Well played.

Shrimp and smoked sausage stuffed mirliton. Really like this south Louisiana dish, especially with a few dashes of hot sauce.

 

[Temptd2]

Oooo I bet those are good! Can you share a recipe? We know mirlitons as chayote around these here parts!

 

[BongoYodeler]

Quick meal. Grilled portobello mushroom on a toasted bun.

When the mushrooms were nearly done, (yeah I had two but only took a picture of the second one), I brushed on some Asian-inspired marinade that I mixed up, and topped it with some shredded pepper jack cheese. Probably won’t find this in any restaurant.

Oh! Beg to differ. I like those healthy options and you see portobello mush burgers around here. It's quite common to see the $26 cauliflower heart steak dinner. It is weird to see tho along with a porterhouse or when the significant other orders a high end cut of cauliflower. It's just me

Oh, I’ve seen plenty of portobello “burgers,” but I’ve not seen one marinaded with Asian flavors AND pepper jack cheese. Perhaps they’re being prepared this way in the wild somewhere, but I’ve never come across any prepared this way.
