sunday cooking, 10/3/10

'lil Chef
i have yet 2 dishevel my pantry so as 2 find a dinner.
i may make pickled carrot, though; they were $6.99 on sale 4 pre-made ones, & so i says, well, i'm making my own....... $6.99!
 
A pot roast in the DO naturally with carrots, celery, onion and taters. Crock pots are OK especially during the work week but they don't hold a candle to a DO.

I made pot roast last night on the stove top. I don't do pot roast in a crock pot either.
 
dine well, lollie; i wanna cook a dinner 2 bring 2 your dear self. aw. i used 2 get veggie/cheese subs often w/ 1 of thier spicy sauces. & chinese food is excellent!

anyhoo, i've got a few slices of veal; therefore, picatta, i figure. dagnabbit, though, i cannot get vino on a sunday, duh. wait! there's 1 section here-abouts where i could get alcohol on a sunday. if i could get there, hmmmmmmmm....... should ring someone or another soon if i'm gonna secure a way 2 get there~

i crock-pot my roasts, & often; after pan-searing, w/ them coated in canola-oil, seasoning, (pork & beef alike), & we luv them! imo oven-cooking makes them less moist/tender & that.

they get so fork-tender. takes an effort, usually, 2 get a hunk-o-roast as they sliver post-crock-potting.

& garlic studded roasts, i'll make a person swoon w/ 1.

My pot roast usually looks like "pulled" beef because unless I let it rest for a long time it won't slice. I just simmer/braise on a low heat on the stove top in a 5 qt pot.
 
ohhhh, i was gonna get me a few honeycrisps~ till produce-guy says, 'they're 'bout 2 pounds'....... i luv, luv those apples! 2-pound apples (2?! 4 an apple!) , though,~ uh-uh. i'll pass on by those. thanx, though!
 
so far, I've fed the sourdough starter, got the canning jars ready to go, finishing off the slowcooker apple butter, (all stuff for next week's class); made some sticky buns (easy, flaky biscuits w/home made caramel sauce, mix of spices), on my 3rd cup of coffee, pan of bacon in the oven. We have leftovers in the fridge to eat up... chicken pizza, alfredo sauce, cheese whiz, white bread, nathan's hotdogs, hmmmm... maybe a mac-n-cheese and do the pizza later?
Daughter's collegiate chorale concert this afternoon at 2, church at 4, home at 7:30...
 
Pasta with bolognese, creole tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and basil from the garden, a beautiful baguette from Croissant d'Or, and we have tons of dessert to choose from: the caramelized pears in phyllo from last night, chestnut ice cream, krispy kreme donuts, hubigs pies, a tasty kake pie, and chocolate brownies...:ohmy:
 
Tonight I'm cooking sausage and fennel soup with lentils and maybe a nice salad to go with along with it.
 
just some images from this morning...

We had caramel rolls and coffee with a couple strips of bacon for breakfast. The canning set-up is for apple butter. It's for a class I'm teaching next week, will have it with sourdough biscuits. Working on the starter since yesterday. The linens are for the class as well, getting my tubs packed for tomorrow night, first class of the series.
 
Dinner will be Soup Du Our, literally.

I am making a big pot of Chicken soup and a big pot of Beef Stew.

We will eat one or the other for dinner and freeze the balance in individual portions.
 
We have some chicken thighs and leg quarters on the grill - guess it's time to think about sides :wink: A friend gave me a Greek cookbook she found while yard-saling, so maybe some rice pilaf from that and a green salad.

Mmmmm, that sounds good! I've got a big pot of roasted butternut squash soup on the stove. Serving it with a crisp green salad and whole wheat sourdough bread - great for such a dismal fall evening :wink:

Change of plans, again. The chicken burned on the outside, so I pulled it apart and cut it up. Rice pilaf is already made. I sauteed some onions, celery, red bell pepper and garlic, and added water and a can of cream of chicken soup and the chicken. Simmered that for a bit, to make sure all the chicken was cooked through. Will serve that over the rice.

Everything looks and sounds wonderful everybody!

We had sausage - fennel soup with lentils and grilled London Broil hoagies topped with peppers, onions and mushrooms. DH decided he wanted sammies instead of salad. :)

I'm being very lazy tonight after cooking eggplant parmesan for DH and ribs for my daughter and I last night. I bought a Caesar salad at Trader Joe's and will add the chicken that I cooked the other day to it. I'll probably just open a can of baked beans and heat up the garlic cheese sticks that I also bought at TJ's. Then I'll kick back and watch Sunday night football.
 
Thai red curry chicken.
