What's on the menu Sunday, 5/2/2021 to Saturday, 5/8/2021?

A version of poutine. There was some sous vide London broil in the freezer, so I chopped that up and put the liquid in with some purchased gravy. Craig made the ATK oven fries that use a cornstarch slurry. We used fresh moz since the grocery didn't have any curds or farmer's/fresh cheese. It was pretty good. Definitely makes nice comfort food.

Chicken and morels in a sauce of Madeira, crepe fraiche, shallots, garlic, cream, lemon, etc. served over pasta with brocccoli rabe on the side. I made extra sauce just because it’s so good we can drink it!

We still had hotdogs in the refer so the mrs requested them again. Of course it started to rain when I lit the charcoal and wood but I got a blazing fire going and grilled the dogs over the coals. After dinner she stated she had enough of hotdogs for awhile.

 

[Sass Muffin]

Not sure what I'll be eating for dinner.
I'm thinking I'd better take another easy on the tum tum day.

Breakfast. Craig wanted breakfast out, but I didn't feel like it so suggested he pick up.something from this little family run place close to us. It's not much more than a hole in the wall. I think they have 8 tables, several of which are only 2 tops. But, they do all their own baking, even making wedding cakes! One of their specialties is shown below. It's between 7 to 7.5 inches in size. We got the icing on the side (or you can get caramel) because they put on so much if they do it that it pools and literally makes my teeth ache to eat. I mean I like icing, but... Cafe con leche to go with.

I made it thru half of mine. Tonight's dessert.

 

[Johnny West]

Tonight it is fish and chips.

I've been waiting for cod to go on sale for this, but we'll also have hushpuppies and roasted garlic tartar sauce.

When my is aching up I have mashed potatoes or grits.

Feel better.

 

[Sass Muffin]

I might just make a small amount of spaghetti and have it tossed in a little butter and fresh parm?
That sounds appealing.

 

[Luckytrim]

Dinner is in the Pot !

 

[Embryodad]

Had spaghetti for lunch. Supper will be a salad of greens. Ginger snaps for dessert. They are great for the tummy.

 

[Ironman]

Cheese and apple brats on the Weber and French fries. Probably an adult beverage or two also since it’s Friday.

 

[Sass Muffin]

This was perfect and hit the spot.
I'm loving the watermelon!

 

[Luckytrim]

Heyyyy, good to see you, Andy! Your mushroom burgers look delicious!

[Sass Muffin]

Today it's a toss up between pork steak or chicken stir fry.

No, Lee, it turned out perfectly tender ; Time- consuming..... an hour and a half in the simmer, then the recipe wanted me to "let it cool in the cooking liquid". then wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for an hour.... well, I got impatient , so I pulled it out and "cooled" it under running tap water, and no refrigeration........ Big mistake...... the White areas you see in the pic is where my tongs stripped the skin off....... turns out , all of that cooling and refrigerating was to adhere the skin ............

We cooked it 1 time at home too. Decided it was a restaurant only dish.

 

[Embryodad]

No plans yet for supper. Maybe take out Chinese? We shall see.

I'm with you Jimmy. Take out, probably not Chinese though.
I just don't feel like cooking.

I have a breast of veal in the fridge. Not sure if I want to cook tonight. Haven't been sleeping well, allergies and joint pain. I made pasta salad for lunches/snacks. That may be my dinner.

 

[Johnny West]

Last night was grazing leftovers and popcorn. I need to make a run to Trader Joe’s for more fish.

Tonight I’m grilling a t-bone we got at Stewart’s Meats a few weeks ago.

allegies and joint pain are affecting me, as well. I hope you feel better soon.
