I've got a hankerin for some French Toast. I've got some Texas Toast and plenty of bacon. Got whipped butter too!....Ummmmm!!

I doubt if DW will want that though?? I hear her in the living room eating jelly beans, and ruffling candy wrappers off of some kind of candy.
It Tics her off when all I do is peek around the corner and say,"Whats that crackling noise?? .. L O L ..

We had shrimp and zucchini over rice.

I boiled the shrimp first, and then I peeled them and smashed them a bit all around with the tines of a fork. It made the texture more pleasant.

I just added the shrimp to the cooked zucchini and splashed it with some soy sauce.

Breaded pork shoulder steak with home fries and salad. We love these juicy, flavor filled steaks.

Dinner042112.jpg


Have a pork shoulder all seasoned up and chillin' in the fridge. I'll pop it in the oven on 225F when I go to bed, and let it cook all night for pulled pork sammies for Sunday dinner. Also have the sweet coleslaw marinating in the fridge.

thanx, jimmy! french dips- basically roast cooked really tender, then the hoagie bread partially or fully submerged in the jus the meat cooked in. (i stretch my jus w/ stock or the beef base in the plastic or glass container & season it heftily w/ whole cloves of garlic & granulated garlic, sage, granulated onion , etc. halved onion- that's just me, tho).

the fries- i fry a batch of thin/med.-cut fries, drain/season & all that good stuff, then place shredded cheese like cheddar & cooked bacon, etc. over & bake to melt cheese. we dip in sour cream & spicy ranch-(just a 'lil frank's added to bottled. or leave it plain.). if ur not me & actually get scallions like u meant 2, toss those on post-baking. plenty of variations.:readytoeat:

the sammich: i couldn't take a pic of blake's- i gasped/screamed in horror as i watched him pour a-1 onto his sammich & said, 'i can't take a pic of that!', & when i saw the bartender's face collapse in disappointment when i said i made the roast, tho after i made my own, there probably wouldn't be enough remaining to bring her, i decided to freeze my portion for her.

pic of the fries, tho:

OMG..luvs.. that looks awesome..

Now I remember the French Dip.. I saw that on one of the cooking shows on the TV. Thanks for the my / mind refresher! ~

UGggggg on the A-1 steak sauce. Maria's X would soak his steaks and sammiches in that. And he would put that on eggs too! I cringe just thinking of it!

Yeah! Her X was a weird eater. He would eat a whole container of sour cream with a spoon, and then sometimes a whole big jar of peanutbutter same way....with a spoon, and till it was all gone! Yuck!
