Today's Lunch...
A few weeks ago I made my second batch of homemade hotdogs. I don't think I'll ever buy them again. I used the recipe in Michael Ruhlman's Charcuterie book. I made a few tweaks, but there is one BAD error in this recipe and throughout his book. He uses way to much curing salt, almost twice the amount necessary in this particular recipe. I actually emailed him about it and he (or someone on his staff) replied that they were aware of the problem and were revising the book.
The first time I made the dogs I used sheep casings. They were good, but I wanted a skinless dog, so this time I used a skinless casing that was easily removed after the dogs were chilled overnight.
I also made the bun. It is topped with homemade pickles, pico de gallo and fried Vidalia onions.
WOW! That is the most fantastic hot dog I have ever seen. Lovely!

After a nice savory dinner, I was looking for something sweet. Passing the counter I noticed that the bananas had reached their peak, and if not eaten soon they would become banana bread. So, I grabbed a banana, the Moose Tracks ice cream from the freezer, some chocolate syrup, whipped cream, maraschino cherries and a Kit-Kat candy bar. The rest is history...big smile on the face history.
Yum!

I made these for dear sweet Tinababy.
Just a simple browned in oil zuchinni, and some home made easy Gnocchi's.
We ate already...I just had a little bit, and I will have a super sized snack later this evening.
I just love my electric skillet for cooking. Stainless steel, and temperature controlled.
Perfect for those just in case the doorbell rings, and the food is cooking, and not so easily burned.
No sauce.......just the olive oil drizzled on top with some cheese over the Gnocchi and zuchinni. Just salt and pepper. No garlic or onion. Just a garden flavor, Period!
DW had no trouble getting that down the old tummy, and now she is sleeping like a baby in the EZ chair watching the TV set!
I can eat zucchini anytime... I love the heck out of it!

i prize them. many Chefs vie for the best of 'em. the burgers- they can be dry as the meat is so lean,- hence the bacon.
i should put a poached or fried egg on there, too.
my pix arrive late- i cook often @ like 2am. i snooze days often.

My dd and I got caught in a MONSTER down pour. I couldn't see to drive and the roads were so flooded that I pulled into a diner. So we had BLT's and fries. Hub made other dd and himself grilled cheese at home.

I made a big baked sweet potato stuffed with Stouffer's creamed spinach and crumbled bacon.
Didn't take a pic, but it was awesome.

I think I added cheese once to the baked white potato w/the spinach.
For sure I did add shredded sharp cheddar over the spinach on a plateful of mash.
Now whoa.. that was delish.

Well, I guess I'll close out the week with pics of the good food at our anniversary party last night. DD and her friend, Nicole, did all the planning and cooking. I played grandpa and made sure they stayed hydrated with whatever they wanted.
The sausage was Italian sausage from Costco, and was excellent!
Onions & peppers
Roasted squash
Grilled Italian sausages
Redskin potato salad
Fruit salad
Tossed salad
Some vegan recipe my SIL brought so she could eat.
The loving couple
SWMBO was not happy about this stunt by me, and I stood there while she returned the favor.

OH! How Nice!
Gorgeous Food!
Beautiful but messy eaters Anniversarie-ites....!!! hahahaha
What a beautiful cake!
AND...I'm wearing the almost same shirt today. Tina said,"Hon, all you need is a set of Bongo Drums, and you will be all set!"
PS: I didn't tell her, but I said to myself,"Yeah...on a deserted Island and stranded with a whole bunch of Rum!" And dancing ladies all over the place!... Like Gilligans Island ...sort of!
Probably a bunch or orangutanes. I'd sure need rum for that!
