I tried making my own white bread for the first time last night. I’m not sure if it looks right but it tastes pretty good!

That is a good start, it rose and tasty good. Brushing the tops with melted butter, or milk, or beaten egg will give the crust more color if that’s important to you.

Brunch today. Caramel bananas with a dash of pie spice over French toast, and breakfast links.

No chicken at the stores? Problem solved (gobble gobble)

I went to the butcher shop in town, yesterday which like to do when I want good ground chuck for hamburgers. Of course, he is much more expensive than the supermarket, but he had everything he normally has, and I spent $80, which I normally don’t.

I have an excellent butcher I normally only go to for his charcuterie. I'm about out of bacon, so I'll probably end up paying attention to everything else there this week. I also go to an organic market for just a couple of specific items, and I noticed they were pretty well stocked on most things. I guess I could start paying more for food to eat at home and still save money since I'm not eating out.

OT No pic, but I made a favorite vegetarian meal, orecchiette with chick peas and broccoli. Olive oil, garlic, chilli flakes, nutmeg, s & p, finished with pecorino. I usually like to have some halved grape tomatoes or roasted red peppers in it if only for color, but didn't have any on hand.

Chicken quesadilla with melted cheese on the outside, too. I like the cheese crunch.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Home fried potatoes and cheese burgers with Irish cheddar.

That looks and sounds great. I need to get some honey for my marinade. This is a lot like our newfound summer marinade. I do the same but also use an acid or one of these. Onion, splash of tequila, splash of rice wine vinegar, lemon zest, lime zest, lemon juice, lime juice, a little piece of jalopeno, ground in a mortar and pestle. If you dont have a mortar and pestle use the back of the spoon in a proper bowl. Its amazing what the mashing does for that marinade. I start with solids, onion, garlic, spices, salt for grinding, jalapeno, sugar and citrus zest. Then add liquids to the paste. The guac this makes is heavenly.

Last night I made more fried pasta noodles with a not so different sauce. It was sooo good. I love this dish. Didnt hurt I used a ginormous bag of smoked pork butt with it.

First time trying pasta, pretty sure it is over worked.

Lessons learned...

The filing was great though: chicken, artichoke hearts, roasted bell peppers, mozz cheese, cream cheese, and "taco" blend cheese.

Anybody got a good tikka masala sauce recipe they really like? I have 1.5 pounds of ground venison defrosted to make meatballs and KOTC would like tikka masala sauce on them! Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Travis, I can work with this!

It’s cold and rainy here, a great day to cook up some chili. I soaked the pintos overnight.

Great minds. Did chili here too night before last and ate it again last night on some brats!

Did a bunch of cooking this weekend:
First is Saturday morning breakfast.
Second is Ramen that my daughter picked up at a place called Ramen Head and brought by the house for us for dinner Saturday night. Just amazing! Really AMAZING!!!. That's pork belly on top and the broth takes like 60 hours to prep. Just amazingly good!
Third picture is the chili I mentioned.
And finally are the poached then pan fried brats and knackwurst. I always grill brats, but these turned out like the ones I used to get on the street in Germany that were cooked on a flat top and were really very good!
Did I mention that the RAMEN IS AMAZING. My favorite new restaurant in town. Only been open a month or two. I hope they can make it through all this turmoil.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

It all looks good Travis! Is that a carrot flower I see in the ramen? Fancy and it looks delicious.

It's either that or a roosters whatchamacallit

Last night's pasta was WAY better, added an egg.

 

[Temptd2]

You are most certainly welcome!

I made the tikka masala sauce - with a bit more ginger and garam masala and cinnamon - and made the venison meatballs with some of the same spices as the sauce. Made about 1" meatballs, roasted them in the oven, and covered with the sauce. DELICIOUS! No pictures because we scarfed it down too fast last night - will try to remember to get a plated picture tonight when we finish it off. Thanks, Travis!
