What did I cook this weekend.....

[Temptd2]

Looks like prime rib was a popular option, LOL! With au jus and cheesy mashed cauliflower....and a lovely glass of 2016 Trefethen Cabernet.

Actually my wife did the cooking all I made was the gravy.
Baked Chicken quarters, dressing, green beans, and gravy.

Been picking at leftovers since Christmas, figured it was time for a change. Made a pan of enchiladas.

 

[TwistedGray]

Did some foraging for the first time, and found some older oysters. Made soup for lunch and a medley of stuff for dinner.

Homemade curry powder and curry sauce with air fried tofu.

New Year's Eve Dinner.

 

[Temptd2]

Happy New Year! Looking forward to all the drool-worthy photographs on this thread this year!

This was lunch the other day - pork tamales/red Chile fried in bacon fat, plated with an over-easy egg - with a Modelo Negra beer and appropriate sauces. Lick the plate good!

Not cooked yet but this is the lovely 20 pound plus boneless prime rib roast I bought at Costco; got 10 1.5" thick steaks, about 2 pounds of steak tips, and some nice trimmings to use when we grind meat for chili later this week.

A small pot of beef vegetable soup using the 2 ribs from the Christmas roast. Will add soba noodles.

You need a vacuum sealer. How much per pound? I found it WAY cheaper to buy a prime rib roast and cut into steaks then buying the ribeye separately, too.

Oh I have two! A FoodSaver and an Avid Armor chamber sealer. I just wrap each steak in stretch tite first and freeze them before I seal - keeps the juice from getting squeezed out, although the chamber vac isn't so prone to doing that.

I think it was about $13/lb. for Prime. Yum yum!

Okay, that makes sense.

I went back to work today after a week and a half off for the holidays. My wife on the other hand is off one more week. So today I came home to a glorious smell as I walked into the house. She made a large pan of halupki. She even got some rye bread to go along with them. Delicious!!

 

[3 Dawg Night]

I cooked my first reverse-sear prime rib for my birthday, and it was *chef's kiss*.

Cowboy Beans...Pintos seasoned with bacon and Kiolbassa brand all beef smoked sausage.....Oh and lots of onion

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I made some calzones with prosciutto, ricotta and mozzarella. No picture it was late.

What is the difference between halupki and golumpki?

What is the difference between halupki and golumpki?

No difference as far as I know. I think it’s just different names based on who and where it was made.

Vat of chili made in the oval 6 quart enameled Dutch oven - 2 pounds of grass-fed home ground beef and a pound of pastured pork sausage - no beans! Keto Chili!

Man, just some awesome eats posted! I've been sick for the last two weeks so have not been online much. Finally on the mend it seems. It was not COVID. I got tested last Sunday. Can't find some of my pictures either. Below are the blackeyed peas when I started them New Year's morning, followed by a Shrimp Pasta and salad thing I did New Year's eve using an Italian Red Chili Pasta. Just marvelous that one was. Had a craving and did a coffee cake this morning, but no picture yet.

Below are the blackeyed peas

I luvs me some blackeyed peas. A place i used to work at had an employee cafeteria run by a bunch of much older ladies. They got the biggest kick out of seeing a young white boy sit down to eat some blackeyed peas, cornbread and greens like he was starving. Out of all the places in the airport i could eat with a employee discount that little hidden gem had the best food and cooks.

The secret to fantastic black eyed peas: A Honey Baked Ham Bone!! And a long slow cook

 

[TwistedGray]

Gruyere, NY white cheddar, and a small amount of smoked gouda cheese with some spicy machaca from Monterrey, MX. I could probably three or four of these, yum!!

Just simmer it down. It got lovely and thick. AND delicious!
