What did I cook this weekend.....

[BUCKNUTS]

But then he cuts himself off as well, that never good

It's a good idea in principle but let's be honest while women can wield that weapon like the hammer of Thor it just doesn't work for us guys.

I'm looking forward to getting there. I feel like I can do that with beer, i.e. look through my piles of grain and hops, and pretty much come up with a recipe that will work. But I don't know enough about spices and flavors on the food side to be able to do that yet...

At one time I would burn a grilled cheese. I've gotten much better with practice my cooking and my brewing keep getting better because they are my obsessions.

It's usually cheaper to eat fresh that's especially true when my garden is going strong and I can walk outside and pick every herb I want, tomatoes, Chilis, squash, zucchini etc.
My wife views cooking exactly the opposite of me, she hates it and it stresses her out. We've all heard that saying that you can taste the love in a dish well I agree with that and the counterpoint that you can tell when someone like my wife cooked something out of a feeling of obligation but wasn't happy
about it.

Yes, we grow a heck of a lot of berries in our yard and have (3) 4'X8' raised beds for veggies. We also forage heavily since we don't stay around the house on weekends during spring, summer and fall. Of course, hunting and fishing helps keep the freezers full.

My Wife definitely is putting a lot of love and effort in her cooking, she obviously appreciates the flavors and textures better. We have it pretty much split kitchen duties 50/50, whoever doesn't cook, does the dishes.

Hey, wait a minute.. How'd you know what she calls it?

 

[Melana]

I'd just cut her off for a while.

From soup. Cut her off from the soup!

Why?

 

[BUCKNUTS]

You call it that to?

Why?

Well most women have more self control then men when it comes to sex. I've tried it myself only to have it backfire on me horribly.

That didn't lead to a pleasant mental image!

Most. Definitely not ALL!

 

[BUCKNUTS]

I have a wife and 2 daughters I've learned not to make sweeping generalizations but based on personal experience and 47 years of observation I would say it's accurate to say most.

Ribeye, pan seared and finished in the oven; two salads: a Caesar and a French Greens Mix with Granny Smith Apples, Feta and Walnuts and a Balsamic Vinaigrette; green beans, and roasted cauliflower with garlic and olive oil. (I cut the steak for the kids...they didn't take it all, so I saved room on my plate by using it, instead of putting the second steak on my plate whole.)

 

[Stauffbier]

Smoked up my bellies this morning. I've already sliced them up and had bacon and eggs with them. Fantastic! I'll never buy store bought bacon again!

 

[bob1852]

Made some pesto and ravioli. Quick and easy from Costco. Also made some roasted brussel sprouts tossed with bacon, bacon grease, red onion, and golden raisins. Good stuff.

We have been cooking a huge amount of stuff today as we are taking part in the international guerilla food movement Restaurant Day. Tomorrow thousands of pop-up restaurants will open all over the world (sorry chaps, there are a few in the U.S. but its pretty Europe focused).

Here are links to our restaurant info, I'm sure none of you will be able to attend in person but hey. If all goes well tomorrow we plan to offer our homebrew at the next event in May

Grilled some beautiful 1 3/4 inch thick ribeyes to go with the Brussels sprouts and red potatoes that SWMBO cooked up. And, as is our Valentine's dinner tradition, creme brulee.

 

[passedpawn]

Canned my sauerkraut after fermenting for a month. Hot pack process

 

[Melana]

Cake....

 

[BUCKNUTS]

Didn't cook anything but I went to a brunch buffet with my wife today. Eggs Benedict, sausage, bacon, prime rib, lobster gravy and biscuits(the bomb), Coffee, 2 mimosas and a handful of grapes to make myself feel better about the meal lol. An embarrassment of riches really I wont be able to eat again today.

 

[Yoseff]

Potatoes o'Brien and over easy eggs for breakfast, now we're in the process of making a beef roast with carrots, potatoes, onion, and corn for dinner.

 

[unionrdr]

The lobster gravy & biscuits sounds damn good right now...

Sounds like you did it right.

Dug out the snow around the grill and did a rotisserie chicken. Made some mashed potatoes and roasted green beans to go along.

Fried a piece if flank steak and made fajitas. Much joy.

You have to avoid vegetables and any sort of bread when you go to a buffet especially one that's $20 a head.

Stoked up some apple wood and grilled me some chicken thighs, lil smokies, and squash. I also made some green beans with my homemade bacon.

 

[ChefRex]

Why am I hungry again????

At those places, I like to have my prime rib appetizer, followed by my prime rib salad course, then my prime rib entree, followed by my prime rib dessert.

Had to help cook for a party this weekend. My contribution: Pernil asado, Yuca con Mojo, Arroz con gandules.

That is the pernil fresh out of the oven, as you can see there are already a couple of chicharrones missing.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Friday night I did a shrimp stir-fry, I know, I stir-fry a lot, but it's a quick & easy way to make a tasty meal. Shrimp, baby carrots, crimini mushrooms, celery + leaves, yellow crookneck squash, garlic, scallions, 1 thumb fresh ginger, lots of sweet basil, edamame, asparagus, shelled pumpkin seeds, and a couple dashes each of fish sauce & soy sauce.

Sunday night I marinated some boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a sweet, slightly spicy mango marinade for about 18 hrs, then wrapped them in thick sliced peppered bacon (3lbs of bacon!) and baked 'em in the oven @ 350*F. for about an hour & 20 mins. Served this up with a mix of veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, yellow squash & zucchini, with a bit of tarragon.)
Regards, GF.
