[slym2none]

It happened! Proof:

I am SOOO hungry... and that looks SOOO good!

 

[Temptd2]

@mattmmille - that stromboli is beautiful! Made me drool too.

 

[Stillraining]

OK non of you were impressed with my ham sandwich.... maybe a step in the right direction tonight

 

[bob1852]

I did a four pound roast for 30 hours and the texture was just getting a little bit off, not bad but different, I will probably try a couple hours shorter next time.

Thanks! Mine is only ~3. Maybe I'll just go ~24 hours...

It happened! Proof:

That is just beautiful looking. Mouthwatering to boot. My mouth is actually watering after seeing that. So good.

This was dinner last night. Flat iron, twice baked potatoes, asparagus and corn. Its hard to beat a good flat iron for the price.

Joy! I found a pack of ramen at the back of one of my cabinets! I got to eat tonight.

If only I had some chicken & a fried egg to top it off with...

Those are some seriously bad-ass kebabs!!! :rockin:

Had a massive surge of saliva in my mouth

Is this lamb marinated in yogurt?

 

[vanishingpint]

Matt that boli looks incredible is that home made pepperoni ?

Ah thanks man....No its plain old beef, pot roast actually. We grill pot roast cut up in steak like slabs quite often actually if the price is down.. It has loads of flavor for the money. Some of the cut can be a bit chewy but some is quite tender. Lately its been almost as high as prime sirloin though so we go there instead. I guess everyone is catching on.

I do the same thing with pork tenderloin... If you have an ALDI near you, they have some great deals on beef and pork usually. Chicken too, I just bought 3lbs of drumsticks for $1.11 there. Last week I bought a 2lb tenderloin for $2.50 on sale. Their meat is usually pretty good too.

Actually, it was pre-cooked Italian sausage. I haven't done my own charcuterie yet, but would love to. Just don't have the required space and equipment. (I have made sausage, but this was store bought).

Chicken Cacciatore tonight. How the hell can you brown chicken that has 15% salt water and crap injected in it?? Huff

Let it sit on a rack over a plate in the fridge for 24 hours.

 

[Staestc]

Sounds like a good idea. But am I the only one that is pissed because all store bought meat has water in it? Lol

Browned the chicken in two stages, sweated the onions, sweated the garlic, sweated the red and yellow bell peppers, added the mushrooms and cooked till soft, added Chardonnay and reduced by half, put the chicken, bay leaves, and thyme in, and now everything is in the pot and simmering.

[slym2none]

I guess it's become the norm, so I'm used to it.

 

[Staestc]

Still have not gotten used to it. You can't brown any meat without boiling off the crap the put in it or pre drying it. Only excuse for companies doing it is for profits, without raising the cost per pound. I can't stand it. But I don't have an alternative meat monger. Huff.

 

[bob1852]

Top round roast into the sous vide for tomorrow night's dinner.

 

[slym2none]

It's after midnight, I have a buzz, and I am about to make a sausage "egg McMuffin".

Should I take pics? I'll try to remember...

 

[slym2none]

OK, drunken cooking, commence! Time for a home-made sausage "McMuffin":

First, a toasted English muffin, with lots of butter. Then, fry up the sausage patty (about two regular patties' worth). Then, my version of a poached egg - kept round by a highly-lubed Mason jar lid & ring - it took about 3 minutes to get it to set so the yolk wasn't runny, although I'd have liked it a bit softer. Set that all on top of the toasted English muffin coated with a slice of American cheese (although any cheese you like will do) and then cover with the top of the muffin. Too good!

 

[Melana]

That egg sandwich looks wonderful. Would you make one for me with a nice runny yolk?

Thank you! Yeah, I was trying for a softer yolk myself, and the technique for cooking the egg in a Mason jar lid was actually for the larger-sized ring, so I had to improv the time a little, and overcooked it. Using a quart-sized ring, they say two minutes. I had a pint-sized ring and thought 3 minutes would work, but it was too much. I'd guess 2-1/2 minutes would be right for that sized ring.

Something really minor, but tonight I was in a scramble to make myself something to eat during the GOP debate. Wife was at gym. I wanted some nachos, but had no peppers, so I went outside and plucked a long green chili off one of the plants I'm growing, sliced it, and it was spicey as HELL. I couldn't even see the thing when I plucked it, I just felt up the plant, found a fruit, and ripped it off.

I'm growing a bunch of vegies, and among them habaneros and chili peppers. If you're like me, you just hope what's hanging there is actually spicey. They are!

 

[Homercidal]

Pork Chops on the cast iron hot plate, with Golden Acorn Squash (butter and B sugar) and some cottage cheese. The wife and kid had noodle packet of some kind.

Later I found a Choc Chip cookie recipe and made some to take to work today and to use up some of the many packages of chocolate chips we have.

They turned out crispy, and I wanted Soft and gooey. Back to the drawing board! I should have read the comments on that one before I rushed off to bake them. Even taking them out before they were starting to brown, and they were crispy on the outside and not soft inside.

 

[mattmmille]

Pasties! I have WAY more filling than dough. May have to make some soup.

I have not had them in years. When I lived in Michigan we could get really good ones. They were so tasty. I guess I may have to make them now since they are foreign to this area.

I know what they are but I wanted to look at recipes and googled them now I am at a fork in the road, which way do I turn?

Yeah I grow chilis every year and I've grown poblano with the heat of a serrano and jalapeno that are like green peppers, It's very unpredictable. Since you grew up here in NW Ohio you know how unpredictable summers can be and the last several have been wet and cooler than normal which is probably why my chilis have sucked. They probably grow like crazy where you are now.

Frittata with sweet potatoes, onions, broccoli, spinach, cheese & peppers. I topped mine with feta and olives, but not everyone likes olives here.
