What's for Dinner?

[ibglowin]

Looking good Craig!

All family members actually ate the same meal. Miracles do happen!

Sure wish they would make a "Supreme" pizza that you could carry out from the store unbaked.

You have to order at the snack bar and they have to cook it so your usually waiting in line then waiting to have it cooked......

Tonight was roast pork shoulder, sweet potatoes, and turnip greens and onions braised with ho-made chicken stock. I am making pork broth with the bone as we "speak." Why haven't I heard of "pork broth" before?

Chicken française, roasted garlic broccoli, caesar salad and garlic bread

Subway, spicy Italian.

Tomorrow I'm searing a sliced pork loin and then putting it in the crock pot with some onion soup mix cook for about 4 hrs, then add whole red potatos and sliced onions, cook for 2 more hrs, add baby carrots and finish up 1 hr ( I like my carrots crunchy). Usually very good.

Well, I sprinkled the pork loins with nature seasoning, and some roasted garlic before searing them.

OMG I'm stuffed, it was so good.

Pork loin wrapped in bacon, done on low in the crock pot all day. Served with garlicy red skinned mashed taters, salad (wifey making now), and some sauerkraut in there somewhere. Have a carboy I just emptied of a year old Italian Brunello kit which I'll swirl around to smell the wonderful essence of oak from the left over cubes. Might wash my hair with it later so I can smell it as I sleep. What more could you ask for?

Oh wow, that was good! Thanks to Ina for the broccoli idea - maybe the best broccoli I've ever had.

If I could, I would like to give you 1,000 "likes"!!

My gandma used to make that for us (especially during lent). She made them in two varieties, one with farmer's cheese and one with jam.

Please, please, please, could you give me your recipe?? This is one of the dishes that had been considered a trandition, but was lost when my gandma died.

On Saturday, I teamed up with my SIL who was visiting from Atlanta.

We started cooking at around noon, started eating at 5pm, and finished up dessert around 9pm. We would eat in waves (eat a course, wait a bit, then eat the next).

For a starter, My plan was to make a cram of mushroom soup. I did pick up some mushrooms, and had them rung up on my receipt, but for some reason they were not placed into the bag. So, after a quick inventory of what I had on hand, I ended up making a potato/cheddar soup instead. This was the first time making it and I did not use any sort of recipe. Turned out yummy.

For a second course, I decided on a little experimentation on "What goes good with goat cheese". This took the form of a sampler having baked panko crusted goat cheese, cinnamon poached pear, Fresh Kiwi, baked apple, home made fig jam, fresh homemade basil pesto, thin rolls of parma ham, and home roasted red peppers marinated in basalmic vinegar. See picture.

At the end of this course, the votes for the best combinations were tallied. From now on, it will be just the goat cheese, the poached pear, and the fig jam. Each of these really complimented the goat cheese!

For dinner it was stuffed chicken, mash, gravey, and green beans. after stuffing, trussed the bird and used the diaper method to end up with a nice, moist, chicken. see pic.

For dessert, it was home made strawberry pie (strawberries were on sale) with fresh, whipped cream (by hand).

After dinner was all cleaned up, we spent an hour just trying to stay awake.

Sorry, no pic of the soup or the dessert...

The sweet in the pear and jam would be great with the tangy goat cheese. Nice choice.

Do you have a hard time finding pine nuts in your area?

In with the rest of the nuts at the grocery store. I take it you do?

Just look in the crotch of a pine tree! ::

 

[ibglowin]

LOL I am surrounded by Pinon pine, Ponderosa pine and Juniper trees....

Too much work for me to mess with. I can find them sold locally all over the place including people selling them roasted on the side of the roads in these parts.

Costco has a nice bag of them usually but they are all "Product of China" as I suspect most every bag in any grocery store is......

Ha. I once found a jar of pine nuts that said "Importato" and had a picture of a gondola on them. Well, they were "importato-ed" from Cina (Italian for China).

Also, google "pine mouth." I love pine nuts, and I hope never to experience that.

Please, please, please, could you give me your recipe?? This is one of the dishes that had been considered a trandition, but was lost when my gandma died.

I use a simple batter :
500 ml of milk
2 eggs (large )
pinch of salt
200 mg of flour
mix the batter in a blender
1/2 tsp oil before frying in the hot pan
pour a thin layer of batter in the pan check the bottom for color and turn it .
fill it and roll it up . Many different kind of filling you can use . Nuttela , any jam , fruit , walnuts , poppy seed , cocoa ... Sprinkel icing sugar on top if you wish .
Check the internet and YouTube for filling recipes , but don't change the batter . Farmer's cheese is the same as cottage cheese ? The cottage cheese filling is one of my favorite also .

Yes, my grandma used cottage cheese (with raisins), but called it farmer's cheese. YUM!!!
