Whatcha eating/cooking?

I've been making a lot of tray bake things. I don't know why. Pork tenderloin, brushed with good hoisen, on top of potatoes and green beens tossed in olive oil, fresh thyme and rosemary. Lay the tenderloins on the beans, with potatoes (fingerling or small b sized) on the side, halved, cut side down. Cook until pork reaches 135 and take that out and put it on a cutting board to rest. Mix what's left around and combine on the sheet pan, back in the oven until potatoes are golden and slightly crispy. Slice pork into about 1/2 in medallions and serve. There's a quick pan sauce that goes with it, that cooks on the hot sheet pan, but I can't remember proportions. Honestly if you temp your pork and pull it 130 or 135 it won't need a sauce.

I've done several takes on chicken tandoori and, of course, butter chicken, Tikka masala, and a few other Indian dishes. Also, indonisan fried rice, chicken adobo and verious Chinese and Japanese stir fries.

After reading this it sounds like a lot. It is, but my joy is coming home from work and start prepping and preparing dinner. Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays I go all out usually. Of course, it didn't take the virus to make me cook like I do. I'm good at it, and it's very relaxing and a big stress relief. TONIGHT? Indonesin frid rice.

OH and I've found a great burning love for Jewelled Rice.. I cant make enough! I am smitten.
 
That sounds soo good!



Yes! I love to cook but I’m tired of it.

Me too! And I am tired of the whole process of getting it. Grocery shopping is no long pleasant. :(

We are on week #8 up here.

Your Chicken Marsala sounds divine! A favorite of mine, which I have not made in ages. Hmmm...
 
I have not heard great things about Omaha steaks. Likely they are good, but not great. Please consider reporting on the quality of the meat. Thx.

I know this is a dead thread, but, work sent me a gift certificate for Omaha Steaks. It was a $135 value, and I ordered 4 8oz ribeyes. They look OK, small, but well marbled. It looks like the middle portion of the ribeyes. Normally our ribeyes come with that outer circle of meat and fat. I've tried Omaha steaks before, wasn't really that impressed. We'll see how these turn out. I doubt they will be worth the price they charge.

As far as the container? I ship food, among other things, to my daughter in California. Normally I have a hard time finding this type of cooler. So, it will be reused.

Thanks.

The pork chops were very good. I cooked them perfectly.;)
 
It is.

Many places won't take it because it's spendy to recycle. But, the polystyrene can go back into the feed for new.

I did not know this. Everything I've read on the subject says it can't be recycled.


Anyway...


Cheeseburgers and home made onion rings were on the plate last nite.
 
Just bought a new Weber grill yesterday. Looking forward to using it.

Your local recycler might tell you that.

But, up in the oil fields, for years the standard lunch fixings were put into those styrofoam clamshells for transport to the field. Once done with your food, you were supposed to scrape the remains into the trash and stack the clamshells to be shipped out for recycling. It was way too expensive to be doing this sort of shit due to freight costs, but that's what was done.

i am looking forward to more soup for lunch, today.

Tomorrow, I'm calling it and slicing the strip loin I have aging into steaks. I was going to go 42 days, but I think that 35 will be fine for this chunk of meat. I'll vac pack and freeze all but two steaks. The steaks will be cooked in the sous vide to 129°F and then seared over very hot charcoal for about 30 seconds per side.
 
Tonight it’s Omaha steak burgers and duck fat miniature potatoes with side salad.

I bought my 1st Weber kettle grill last summer. I was strictly a gas guy for years (convince, speed, control), but I wanted to try it and it was a crazy sale. Bought the Master Touch model because it sat a little higher. I'm 6'5'' so that is a plus for me. I love the son of a bitch! I may get a Weber Genesis lll this spring, but I have a hard time justifying the $1000 price tag. It took a little getting used to, but after a few cooks, I got this. Good luck and remember, don't dump the chimney starter until the coals are good and ashy on top. Fuck that lighter fluid bullshit.

But the cap is the best part of a ribeye. ☹️ I can’t wait until the Burch opens again. They sometimes have ribeye cap as a special.
