Medtran, that looks wonderful.
Tell us about Lighthouse potatoes.

1 inch cubed potatoes cooked in lots of cream, then a whole bunch of butter and more cream stirred in after they simmer for 20-25 minutes, then into baking dish topped with panko, butter, Parm R topping, baked for another 20-25 minutes.

Saw them made on Cook's Country a couple of weeks ago. Craig and I looked at each other and said pork chop time!

HUGE fat and calorie bomb, but OMG!

I had a nice fat and juicy cheeseburger with homemade Mac salad.

A pot of string beans cooking in tomato sauce and onions.
All from Tina mommy; who felt like cooking today.

My son Jeff and I had a late lunch at Ninja, so I'll probably just have some watermelon and popcorn later.

[medtran49]

Copycat empanadas from a restaurant called The Fat Tummy that was on a Drive-ins, Diners and Dives episode . Sofrito in both plus various spices. Half moons are spicy filling with chicken and adobo sauce from chipotles in adobo. Triangles are vegetarian with corn and mozzarella. Green sauce is chimichurri. There are also guava and cream cheese dessert ones that are cooling so no pic yet.

Beautiful empanadas, med!

I had a fish taco with my garden-grown pico (my favorite part!) and a pan-seared gray squash that I picked up at the Farmer's Market today.
