What did I cook this weekend.....

[BrewingTravisty]

Definitely not the prettiest thing ever haha but it's really good, considering I just made it up with what little I had on hand


I slow cooked the pork for about 4 hours, which made it extremely tender. I drained the drippings from it and made a sauce with that, a little butter and sour cream mixed with an egg yolk. Seasoned simply with garlic, salt and pepper and mixed with egg noodles and zucchini. The zucchini could have cooked a slight bit more but all in all this was a very nice dish. Even though I didn't use any cheese, it almost had an Alfredo taste to it.

This was very much an improvised dish, so I'm pretty proud of it. Probably not the healthiest thing in the world though haha

Interesting combo. Was the pork ragu Korean spiced, or Italian fusion?

Love tteok, a special favorite is Korean New Year's soup, or Tteokguk.

Tonight was Ox tail soup. Broth was almost crystal clear. That was all that was left.

It was Korean Spiced, not too spicy but definitely had some kick.

You might be the first person I've met/not met that doesn't like sweet potato.
Can I have your autograph?

Salt, pepper and cayenne. Makes it better.

One word, chipotle:rockin:

Wife likes me to make soups. Especially when it gets cold out. She's fond of cream soups and chowders. But I'm getting tired of the same old Zuppa Toscana and Chicken Corn Chowder.

How does a chowder with dumplings sound? What to put in it? My daughter doesn't like corn. (I know, right?? )

Maybe just a chicken pot pie style soup with dumplings?

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

If you're looking for soup ideas, my wife makes something like this pretty frequently and it's always incredible. Beer, Beef, and Bacon...I'm not sure how to make a better stew.

Sweet potato and greek olives may be the only two things I hate to eat. So make that two.

When I was a kid, I met another kid that didn't like watermelon. Blew my mind. I like my sweet potatoes baked and prepared just like regular potatoes: butter, sour cream, chives, salt and pepper. None of that cinnamon-sugar stuff or honey-butter. Confuses the waiters/waitresses at the Longhorn Steakhouse.

Pretty sure olives are just salty, oily turds. I've never been able to stomach any kind of olive, and not for lack of trying.

I am not a fan of watermelon either. To me, it has a weird, funky-sweet flavour that I don't like at all.

Olives are a definite no. Yuck City.

Watermelon = AWESOME!

Green Olives = Yes
Black Olives = NO

Olives, not the crap that comes in a can= awesome!

I ate this on a cold and rainy day in Taipei, and I can tell you that it's rich and hearty and wonderful for the winter:

You got it backwards there, my friend. Watermelon - ick, olives - YUM.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Agreed. Not a fan of the texture of watermelon.

 

[Remmy]

Didn't stuff peppers. So I made the opposite.

Last night's beef Stroganoff with quinoa on the side.

Would usually cook it with buckwheat, but I ran out of it.

Flavor, not so much texture for me.

Mmm... Need to see if I have any buckwheat now... Thanks.

How is that backwards? I don't like either.

 

[mattmmille]

The only olive I have eaten that I didn't like was a very bitter, oil-cured, black olive. I used to remove the pimento from green olives, as a kid. I don't know why...it all tastes the same. Green olives stuffed with garlic or blue cheese...awesome! (Not the blue cheese stuffed ones in a jar, though.) And man, a sweet, ripe watermelon? Come ON! Just like honeydew or cantaloupe, watermelons have to not be under-ripe or over-ripe. But if you get good ones, mmm MMM!

Tonight, sausage and cheddar balls.

 

[passedpawn]

I'll bet I'm the only one here with an olive pitter.

 

[flars]

I'll bet I'm the only one here with an olive pitter.

Bought one more than a few years ago. Paid for itself within a year by buying whole olives on sale instead of the pitted ones.

 

[mattmmille]

I'll bet I'm the only one here with an olive pitter.

Bought one to pit cherries for pickling and preserves.

Derp?

I have it, and use it mostly for cherries. We DID use it on kalamata olives when my youngest was to young to deal with pits.

That soup just sounds and looks awesome! The broth recipe alone is over the top. There's no way it could not be great!

 

[hunter_le five]

Olives on a pizza = yes
Olives in a martini = yes
Olives in a salad = yes
... etc

Olives by themselves = meh

SWMBO eats them by the handful. I don't get it.

Wait, two pasta dishes in separate sauce?

Tomatoes stuffed with a mix of quinoa, millet, chia seeds, onion, and frozen vegetable medley. Paprika, coriander, thyme, allspice, garlic, salt & pepper. Muenster cheese, all of it on a slice of sourdough toast. Chili oil and pomegranate molasses. Very filling!

 

[mattmmille]

Yup. One with meat and one without.

 

[Kharnynb]

steak, fries and tomato salad, fries are self-made.

 

[beergolf]

Stock pot has been on the stove all day..mmmm a big batch of chicken stock smells so good.

Pork roast about to go in the oven. Studded with lots of garlic. Since we are going to get blasted with snow I went out and cut a lot of rosemary to put under the pork roast. Dellacata squash and roasted Brussel sprouts for sides.

 

[mattmmille]

Turned spaghetti noodles into Lo Mein with homemade teriyaki meatballs. Also made some tofu fried rice.
