What did I cook this weekend.....

[BamaProud]

Mothers Day is also my wife's Birthday. Her Sister and Mom came up and I made gumbo.

I used 5 pounds of shrimp, nearly 2 pounds of crab meat, lots of okra of course. I like my roux pretty dark and my gumbo thick.

If I had access to blue crab at a reasonable price I would use them, but these Snow crab work well too.

I like my roux pretty dark and my gumbo thick.

Always add several cups of "seafood soup" to the roux before adding it all back to the gumbo pot.

I made a quick ragu from some fresh orange tomatoes, onion, ground beef and garlic I had on hand.

Happy mothers day. The ragu is nice looking hoppy2bmerry and evilgrin the mac and cheese looks splendid as well.

I remained amazed by the muffin tin. These were so dark out and light inside i took a picture after a bite. Made a cake. The cakes were golden and nice and it turned out good. Wanted to do a raspberry middle, maybe next time. Also made some brownies. My mom came over today and sister. They brought rib eyes, and flat irons. The sale rib eyes from king soopers, they were ok and better then last time. Was a great day.

Mother’s Day breakfast for the first time mom. Blueberry scones with lemon curd on the side, chocolate covered strawberries, eggs in a nest, faux-mosa with fresh squeezed orange juice, and French press coffee.

Did a Cuban style pork roast for Mother’s Day, but mostly because I want to do Cuban sandwiches tonight!

We ate quite a bit of that roast late afternoon, but then cooked these for dinner!

And plated while the veggies were still cooking.

Oh heck yes he does, and it's funny. I can justify spending money on beer... But struggle with wine. Can't say I've had Weimers wine but heard the reislings are outstanding

Was craving beef..

Finally got around to doing the Cubans. Pork roast, Honey Baked Ham, salami, pickles, baby Swiss, and mustard. Awesome! Used Chibatta because I did not have time to prep and bake actual Cuban loaves.

Squidy with spicey tomatoe sauce

Our neighbors give us their seafood that they won't easy like head on shrimp, head on any fish, and any cephalopods.

It is asparagus harvest time. After three consecutive days featuring asparagus we skipped today. Forgot to photo the scalloped potatoes with ham and cheese on day one. Ham and cheese with asparagus. Chicken breast schnitzel with asparagus. We love asparagus.

Weimers dry Rieslings will change your perspective on life. Like a mouthful of river gravel. Worth every penny. Damn , it’s not 7:00 am and I’m craving a glass of wine.

Tenderloin!

Whoa!
