Whatcha eating/cooking?

[thør]

Almost time to fire up the grill. Looking like country style ribs over mesquite charcoal.

Well, this is left over BBQ, so its alright by me.

This meal thing is getting old.

Without doing the meal thing on a regular basis, you don't get old.

Tossed the beast chunk into the oven with a dry rub of brown sugar, salt/pepper/onion/garlic/cayenne. A bit of water to keep it moist and we'll see how it turns out.

Probably boiled potatoes with butter, Parmesan, and parsley added to it as a side along with a salad. 15 mins to fix all that while the roast is resting.

I have some coconut macaroons and ice cream for dessert if it's necessary to kill any cravings after dinner.

Why is is always "Left" overs? Why can't it be "Right" overs?

Throwing a chunk of beast into the oven soon. Maybe. I don't really feel like cooking tonight.

Me either. Feels like all we do anymore is dishes cook dishes cook dishes cook...

I’m gonna have cereal.

Pics or it didn't happen.

And don't forget to wash your dishes afterward.

Wild rice stuffed cornish game hen, glazed carrots and a morel sauce.

Yes, the Morels have popped. Great time to be alive!

And here it is 2 hours later...

Braised roast beast rubbed with olive oil, brown sugar, salt/pepper/onion/garlic and some steakhouse seasoning. Parmesan-parsley potatoes and julienne carrots lightly glazed with honey.

Chicken soup.

A whole chook, some thyme from the garden. Onion, celery etc.

Smells amazing.

I use my thyme, rosemary, and basil plants for every hearty meat & veggie soup that I make.
Those flavors never get old.

Was awesome. No pics. Only memories.

It made a pretty picture for sure and it didn't last long.

The actual cooking part was maybe 20 minutes (5 to rub the roast and shove in into the hot box, 15 to do the potatoes and carrots). The rest was waiting while the oven did it's thing.

Haven't broken out the ice cream yet but those coconut macaroons are looking at me funny. I may have to go teach them a lesson.

Yes, I find the prep is the most time consuming, which is why I have 1 main dish & often a side salad. Been cooking on my own only a short time, so still learning

For 1 or 2, the overall cooking time could have been shortened by cutting the beast roast in half and freezing it for later use. The 20 minutes of prep time is going to take 20 minutes no matter what.

The potatoes are fixed just like boxed mac & cheese - boil the spuds in salty water, drain and add a little butter, splash of milk, and grated parmesan with a generous pinch of parsley. Fold gently so you don't break up the taters and end up with mashed. Continue folding until the parm is gooey and forms a sauce with the milk.

Left over roast makes fantastic beef sandwiches with a little cheddar, mayo, and horse radish. Grill the bread and slice the beef thin. Heat the beef with the cheddar on top to melt it in either the saucepan you used to grill the bread or in the microwave. Drop onto the mayo/horsey sauce spread bread and try really hard to not just scarf it down.

That looks good. Are you one of those weirdos who doesn't like food groups touching each other?

It was "artfully arranged" just for the photo shoot because I wouldn't want people to think I just dumped it on the plate. I got enough Lit haters that I don't need to add to them over something like that.

Read a story once about a character who used "the bucket method". Dump dinner into a bucket and swirl it around. If it still looks good, eat it. Not for me, but it that's the way you view food, I'm good with it. Don't expect a dinner invite though.

Thinking of using the leftovers for some beef tips on pasta (fake stroganoff). Cube the meat, use the braising liquid for a gravy base, some egg noodles, a little sour cream... and viola! Nearly instant "right overs".

But, only if there's any left after beef sandwiches.

What is that, horse?

Strange color, overcooked, too.

You don't have to eat it and your particular food preferences aren't a consideration at my family table anyway.

Your cats aren't family and you shouldn't let those filthy beasts on your kitchen table.

They have better manners than you do. They even wash their faces and paws. Unlike some...

 

[Rightguide]

Two eggs over easy, three slices of bacon, one slice of rye toast and a cup of coffee.

 

[adrina]

Everything bagel. With cream cheese and ham.

I've been making a curry version of shakshuka the past couple of days for breakfast. I had leftover sauce from the last chicken curry batch.

 

[raindancer]

All the veggies frittata.

Googled this. Looks yummy but other than me, no one in the house would touch it.

It's wonderfully delicious, especially in leftover sauce from the night before. All those flavors developing, yum.

But I can understand why it wouldn't be to everyone's taste. I'm the only person in my family who will eat it. But it's also way easier than poaching in water, which I've yet to successfully accomplish.

"Weird food" will put off almost everyone except the adventurous.



Made some sausage and Mexican style Rice A Roni for lunch rather than sandwiches. Toasted the rice, added the spices and water, dumped in sausage chunks and slapped on a lid to the saucepan. 20 minutes later and it's done.
