What did I cook this weekend.....

[Onkel_Udo]

Sh!t on a shingle!

Army brat or country boy? Never heard that anywhere but on a farm...until I started hanging out with NCO's that entered the army in the 80's or earlier.

SOS.....
As a kid that was always my favorite..

 

[Staestc]

When I was a kid my Dad would make us breakfast a couple times a year with this stuff

My Dad was a career soldier and in the Army they called this SOS (sh!t on a shingle)

My Pops would be proud.

Personally I think that just looks awesome!! We use the beef in a cheese ball recipe but I have never done anything else with it. My wife knew exactly what I was describing when I told her what I was seeing cause she had it as a kid.

It looks like it will warm you up to your toes. Gotta try it!

I spent the first 5 years of my life at Fort Benning Georgia where my Dad was a Jumpmaster.

I never made it before but I make sausage gravy and biscuits all the time so I made it exactly the same except I subbed the dried beef for the sausage. It turned out great.

I spent the first 5 years of my life at Fort Benning Georgia where my Dad was a Jumpmaster.

Apparently I was conceived there just before my dad shipped out to Vietnam. I was informed of this at age 38 just before I got on a plane to there to transition to Iraq for the third time as a contractor...

My Dad went to Benning after leaving Vietnam and finished out his 22 year career there.

S.O.S is great . Apparently the navy used ground beef because they had refrigeration on board ship.The army not so much with field kitchens .Which is why they used dried beef.Good stuff. I make it a couple times a year.

 

[dan6310]

Oh yeah .I always separate each slice and rinse it .Otherwise I would have a stroke mid meal.

I remember having SOS as a kid a couple times a month. I hated it! Probably because I don't think it was rinsed. I just remembered it being very salty.
My dad always had it over toast.
Wow that was 30+ yrs ago. Haven't had it since and don't miss it.
I also believe it was Armor brand and it came in a glass jar.

SOS...I love that sh!t! My Dad was Army in WW2...luckily, we dropped the bomb, as he was sitting in a train station on his way to deploy. But he did get SOS regularly. I used to eat the Armour Dried Beef right out of he jar...salty, but good! But then, I eat anchovies right out of the can and don't rinse my kraut, either.

Made some spicy bean dip with pintos, guajillo and ancho chilis, paprika, garlic powder, a little oil and a little Peri Peri hot sauce.

That dip looks good! Did you make your own Peri Peri or buy it (and what brand)?

Grew up surrounded by farms. Growing up I honestly thought everyone knew what SOS was.

I made Matzo Ball Soup at my wife's request last night. Just used the box mix from Manischewitz which I always keep around cause I love it and it's fast and easy. But I would like to try a real recipe sometime.

 

[beergolf]

I was in the store yesterday and saw they got in some fresh golden trout. Stuffed it with sal, pepper, fennel fronds, parsley and lemon. Baked it whole. Made some pilaf and Swiss chard with pancetta and preserved lemon. Yum.

I used a bottled Nando's Hot Peri Peri Sauce...and it is HOT. I just used a little and I filled two 1lb deli tubs...I can eat maybe 15 or 20 Tostitos before the heat builds enough to catch up with me.

 

[beergolf]

So what's for dinner tonight?

My wife is at the store now shopping. I get to do the "Chopped " thing and come up with something with what she brings home and what we have on hand..

She usually does the shopping and I do the cooking. She has some favorites and knows what I need to make them. But sometimes she buys random stuff.

 

[1977Brewer]

I'm making a "pantry cleaner" with Potatoes, chicken, Progresso Creamy Mushroom and a beschemel to thicken. Probably top with provolone and breadcrumbs. My driveway is a glacier, I bet it's the same at the grocery stores.

 

[mattmmille]

Olive Garden leftovers.

For fun...asked my race team today because we had a sandwich thing of creamy beef something on a roll.

26-year-old Engineer with his first job out of Rockville, MD...no clue and never had it.

66-year old retured mine mechanic, from the country, Navy in Vietnam...you bet he knew it from both Gov't surplus and the Navy.

His 40-year old Engineer son...no clue

31 year old Attorney from rural Indiana (no in in Ft Wayne)...knew the name, vaguely remember having it for breakfast at his grandfathers.

So I think the rural part is from government surplus while the military dates at least to WWI.

Tonight was grilled chipotle chili seasoned venison burgers topped with the last of my pickled hot peppers and a side of corn.

Threw together some grilled fish tacos - seasoned a couple swai fillets with salt and tajin, grilled up some fresh pineapple, chopped everything up and topped with avocado, lettuce and a cream sauce (crema mexicana with lime juice and more tajin).

OK ended up with salmon osso buco. Take a nice scallop and wrap stips of salmon around them to resemble osso buco. I am lucky to live on the EastCoast where we get great scallops.

Some barley mushroom risoto and some stemed snap peas,.

Here is what it looks like when it is cooking.

 

[Staestc]

I used a bottled Nando's Hot Peri Peri Sauce...and it is HOT. I just used a little and I filled two 1lb deli tubs...I can eat maybe 15 or 20 Tostitos before the heat builds enough to catch up with me.

I love Nando's. There was one right next to the hotel I stayed in all the time while I was in Lincolnshire, UK. I have a clone recipe for their sauce, if you are interested. I would guess it's the medium, and not the hottest they have, but it tastes pretty close.

The little bottle I have is lasting a LONG time

SWMBO an a co-worker discovered one in Washington, DC on frequent business trips...took me there last year. So, when I saw the hot sauce at the grocery I bought some. I grabbed the "hot" bottle. SWMBO told me later that the "medium" was what she always used. D'oh!

Tonight I made baked coho salmon with mango salsa and a side of roasted Brussels sprouts and pears. Washed it down with a young ginger mead.

The Brussel sprouts and pears sounds great. A combo I have never thought about...The sweetness of the pears should work well with the roasted brussel sprouts.

Add a little honey 2Tbs, some minced ginger and thyme. Mix all together and roast @425F for 25-30 mins tossing after 15min. A family favorite.

 

[mattmmille]

Tonight, I created a white lasagna with a pesto bechamel and some diced artichoke bottoms. Cottage cheese instead of ricotta...I'm just not a ricotta fan...too heavy...except in cannolli. Mozzarella and Parmesan. Toasted some pine nuts to garnish.
