Does this count as a meal? Just something I quickly whipped up until dinnertime.

 

Having New York Strip Steak fried in butter with baby sweet peas and whole boiled small potatoes cooked together.
For bread I'll have Brioche rolls. These are slightly sweet so they go well enough with meat fried in butter and make a desert unnecessary.
I'll have a half glass of Blackberry wine to sip on to cut the grease.

 

Reducing some homemade tomato sauce to put on pasta to eat with some homemade bread. Yow!!

 

Having a late supper, slept most of the day. Having mixed beans with cornbread and stuffed Green Peppers.
I use eggs, milk ( plus a bit of water) and melted butter in my cornbread mix, it goes with everything just great.

 

Vanilla protein shake. Feeling heavy after an alcohol induced weekend.

 

Some light vegetarian food (garbanzo peas, potatoes garnished with Serrano peppers and cilantro served with brown rice) this evening before the impending Thanksgiving food onslaught

 

Lamb burgers stuffed with gorgonzola cheese tonight. In protest of having to eat a protein other the rib roast for t-giving tomorrow..

And I don't mind bragging that the burgers weren't baaaaaad.

 

Looks good!

 

I was watching a news item about the turkey on the White House lawn the other day. He had a large feathered bird next to him.....

 

Smoke sausage and fried rice and veggies.

 

Kerwin, the BBQ Wonder Dog, supervises the annual Smoking of the Turkey. Not sure what the chairs are doing there...

 

This will be part of dinner at home shared with friends tonight. 5 pounds of king crab!

 

Saturday was miserable here, so lots of rain, cold, and outdoor work was out of the question. We made a quick run to get a few things and made some beef stock - perfect day for it so a few photos of the process...











After several hours of simmering...



Cooling off...



Looks tasty...



The next day we removed the fat...



And prepared it for freezing:



Sunday was a nicer day, so outside chores were completed...including cleaning leaves off the roof and out of the eves:





Then we made some beef barely soup, using the newly made stock:



And tonight I'm eating more of it since it's been another cold and rainy day:



Tasty!

 

Had some chicken and some chanterelles so I decided to make a quick chicken scaloppine with a chanterelle cream sauce

 

Pasta & Red Wine

 

Got some good Thai food planned for tonight!

 

Lamb shank stew on chick peas.

 

I’ve got a ribeye the size of a small county and as thick as Scarlett Johannson’s lips.

Might make chimichurri, but not sure about a side...any suggestions?

 

Chimichurri is the side.
