Steak dinner on New Year's Eve just me and Mama. Had some Baker's Square French Silk pie for dessert, leftover from the previous night's dinner with friends. Last night was chicken Parmesan & spaghetti.
Tonight we were supposed to have the grandkids here while their parents took out out #2 daughter for her birthday. The kids were both sick so Mrs. JEV went there to babysit. She had a pizza for dinner, and I went to the Chinese buffet for dinner. I love their baked salmon. Mmmm... The sushi & mussels are pretty good too.

I bought a whole ham the other day and I'm going to fix it for dinner tonight with baked taters, sweet corn, and homemade applesauce.
Don't know what is for dinner tonight. It is Melen's last night at home with us before she leaves to return to Wake Forest. Maybe prime rib?
But last night it was a room temperature can of Chef Boy Ar-Dee Mini Ravioli and a can of root beer to wash it down. It was an active day, we were all tired, nobody had energy to make a meal and I may have been the only one of us who ate anything at all for dinner because we had a late & large lunch earlier.

Celebrating #2 daughter's birthday here today. I have a roast sitting on mire poix in the crock pot that I pan seared, then deglazed the pan with some red wine and put a cup of beef broth in with it. I'll check on it around 2pm. Making mashed potatoes, gravy and steamed broccoli, cauliflower & carrots for a side. German chocolate cupcakes per the birthday girl's request are already baked & frosted with a cream cheese frosting.
I wish I could cook like JEV. 
I have 2 large pyrex pans filled with beef short ribs slow cooking in the oven right now. Not sure if that's going to be for tonight or tomorrow.
I have a couple nice Delmonico's sitting out ready to hit the grill for lunch. Waiting for a window in time when it's not raining.

For me, cooking is an enjoyable hobby. I volunteer in the commercial kitchen for a few big food events throughout the year at out church, and that's enough to keep me cooking as a hobbyist, not a chef. If I had to cook for a living, I would go looking for another job. It's not an easy life, and it takes special people to enjoy production cooking. Kind of like choosing proctology as a career.I wish I could cook like JEV.

The Old Boy knows his way around a kitchen, no doubt bout that.
For my big day today, it's going to be a 7 pound prime rib, mashed potatoes whipped up in my new Kitchen-Aid mixer and a vegetable or salad. Maybe a few Miller 64's to wash it all down with.

I did it for over 15 years and loved every minute of it. Had to quit though because of my arthritis, it was getting harder and harder to climb the stairs 10 times a day to get stuff. The restaurant business is a hard life, you work many hours, but you can meet great people.

Not eating for awhile as daughter #1 is waiting for grandson to wake up from his nap before they begin their 40 minute commute. I figured I'd post what's done, because it will be a circus when they get here.
The square cut roast came out fork tender, and the red wine reduction gravy is delicious. I added some parsley & Parmesan cheese to the smashed taters...mmmmmm! The veggies will steam up pretty quick once the kids get here, and we'll be ready to tie on the feed bag.

Gone But Not Forgotten
Baked an eye of round roast in the clay cooker with celery, carrots and taters chunked up around it. Started it of in a brown gravy mix and turned it over after an hour at 350. Let it cook for 3 hours with the lid on and then reduced to 300 with the lid off for a 1/2 hour on each side. So tender it cut with a fork. Have enough left for another meal.

Day three and the last of the roast beef. Boy, was that a good roast. I decided to add Hasselback potatoes, then topped them with sour cream. After three days of beef, we're looking forward to Pasta Primavera tomorrow.

No such thing as too much Roast Beast, but I tend to be more of a meat and potatoes type guy anyway. We are also on day 3 of our prime rib.
No complaints from me.

Made a new bread recipe I saw in Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives on Friday night...Cranberry Wild Rice Bread. It was made just to make French toast for dinner, and it was very good. The wild rice component added absolutely nothing to the recipe that we could detect, but we really enjoyed bread and will make it again, without the rice.

What type of flour did you use in that bread? Also, Yeast or baking powder? I bet you used baking powder.
