    Last night was ham and scalloped potatoes. Tonight is beef stroganoff.
    Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    It's my favorite pastime, followed closely by cooking the food and smoking cigars!

    I broke out the slow cooker for dinner tonight to make a ham and corn chowder and use up some of my leftover ham from a couple of nights ago. It smelled sooooo goooood when I walked in the door after work. Now just have to finish it up with butter and cream. Well, half and half, actually.

    Last night the kids made supper...English Muffin Pizzas. Well, okay, mom browned the Italian Sausage and dad put it in and took it out of the oven, but opening the muffins and constructing the pizzas was the kids job. They got mine just right with some mushroom, olives, sausage, and pepperoni.

    Had a pork loin roast and homemade French onion soup.

    I love good french onion soup, but have never made it at home for real. I keep meaning to, but just never do.

    i made it a couple weeks ago! not that hard or time consuming, and soooo good!

    Do you caramelize the onions in cast iron or stainless cookware first? That's what I seem to remember it calling for. I've got both, so no worries on equipment. Might have to make some crusty bread and pick up some provolone...yum.

    Chicken noodle soup, crackers and cheese, mucinex and codeine cough syrup. I'm sick as a dog. It's going to be a bad weather weekend anyways so not bad timing if you ask me.
  • MartelMartel Posts: 3,306 ✭✭✭✭
    You had me until mucinex and cough syrup. Sorry to hear you're under the weather, figuratively and literally. Get better...is that soup homemade?

    I wish it was homemade, but I didn't have the strength to do anything but open a can. Feeling much better now though. Tonight it's boneless pork chops, corn on the cob, and some grilled green onions with a sierra nevada pale ale to wash it down.

    Glad you're feeling better. My wife makes the best chicken noodle soup. Add some fresh-baked bread, and it will cure you right up no matter what ails you. The only problem is that she hates bones, so you know who gets stuck picking all the meat off the chicken carcass. Tedious. And don't blame me if a bone sneaks into the final product.

    Yes, it's tedious .... but not that bad of a job IMO, since you get to taste test/quality control the meat as you pick it apart.
    At least that's the reason I don't mind doing it

    Yeah, quality control is important, but I hate burning my fingertips. It's probably an even trade, especially given how many thanks I get from the wife and kids.

    Tonight I made meatloaf. I'm always trying different meatloaf recipes. This one tasted good, but it didn't hold together at all. On the side, we did mock mashed potatoes. It's a cauliflower puree. I actually thought it was really good, and the wife thought it was passable. Garlicy and creamy. The texture wasn't really like a good mashed tater. A little grainy instead of smooth. And we had a salad. There's a great produce shop we started visiting recently that's got much better quality and lower prices than the typical grocery store.

    My wife made an amazing meatloaf as well last night. She puts Blue cheese in the loaf which really sets it over the top for me. The best thing about meatloaf is sandwiches the next day.

    Had a meatloaf sandwich for lunch today. Still can't believe how good they are!
  • RainRain Posts: 8,958 ✭✭✭
    Sounds delicious.
  • MartelMartel Posts: 3,306 ✭✭✭✭
    Meatloaf sandwich with pickle and ketchup. Mmmmmm. Love those leftovers.

    Last night made a honey-lime salmon fillet with real mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus. Salmon is my son's favorite meal. Kid has expensive tastes for a 9 year old.

    Tonight I'm making a slow cooker "jerk" pork. I'll serve it with homemade mango salsa and some veggie on the side. I haven't decided what yet, and I have lots of produce to get rid of. Maybe some squash or broccoli.
