With temps pushing 80 here today, I felt like picnic food. I made some tater salad, baked beans and brats. I used my homemade buns & kraut as well, and topped the brat with bacon from the baked beans.
Got a nice big sirloin out and decided to make swiss steak in the slow cooker. Cubed it and went to the garden and got a green pepper and a small hot one as well as 7 over ripe tomatoes. Added a few carrots and some onion.Was great after simmering this afternoon. Melt in your mouth tender.
I woke up this morning with a sinus headache at 2:30 am, and came downstairs to sleep in the chair. I was watching some food show where they were making Cacio e Pepe (cheese & pepper). It looked good even in my impaired state, so I made it tonight, and embellished the recipe by adding some toasted Italian bread crumbs and a couple of my sweet sausages. Not shown is the ketchup I put on it after taking the picture. I love ketchup on simple pasta dishes, and have been doing it since I was a kid.
Jev, that looks really good. If you like to spice things up, try cocktail sauce instead of ketchup. Or mix fresh horseradish with ketchup for a real kick.
I am making a huge pot of spaghetti sauce from home grown tomatoes today. DH came home with 8 cartons of red raspberries so they will become a fresh raspberry pie. Sides will be garlic toast and a salad using my home grown lettuce and tomatoes, etc.
After a trip to the Asian market today for some oils & sauces, we decided to just have breakfast for dinner.
Here's some pics from the Asian market. No...we didn't buy any fresh seafood today. I've got a real hygiene issue with the cleanliness of the "fresh foods" areas of Asian markets, and have NEVER bought anything that is "fresh." Check out the size of the Buffalo Carp sides. A "fishy" deal at $1.99/lb. Attached Images
Since she will be working late tomorrow, my lovely bride made me an awesome pre-birthday dinner. Beef tips in a red wine reduction gravy, over egg noodles, with corn off the cob and garden tomato salad with cucumber salad. Cheese cake for dessert. Awesome, awesome, awesome! (and I have a little left over for a snack another time)
All this food looks so good!! Severe carpal tunnel and arthralgia (numbness, pain and swelling in the joints in the hands and fingers) makes typing and cooking no fun at all
No excuses Peeps. We were just debating what to make tonight. Leaning toward making fish and yellow rice. Have fresh pineapple for desert since I forgot it last night.
Wanted something different for dinner, so I made a Frittata with bacon, Italian sausage, caramelized sweet onion, spinach, mixed peppers, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Baked it in a cast iron pan, and served a side of Latkes & sour cream.
DW made a roasted chicken dinner today since I was cleaning out the shed and putting all the deck furniture in it, as well as the non-stop leaf duties and cutting the lawn. I also installed a 66' ham radio antenna (40m Carolina Windom) this morning for my radio club. I built the antenna on Friday and had to wait till today to get help installing it.
Since I am here tonight by myself ..... I am doing a Chinese Almond Chicken salad with Flan as a dessert dish . The desert is cooling in the Frig and I am all set to go on making dinner for myself .
