What Are You Having For Dinner

[Patchouli]

@ClemKadiddlehopper I love havarti cheese, really cold. Tonight I got a free pizza with all kinds of stuff on it.

Green onions & garlic leaf with mushrooms & steak with baked potato

Fried up a batch of wings...

having those today. It's from our chickens, so not sure how they will taste. I usually take off the skin but you can't really do that for wings

@sonya123 I use alton browns wing process. I steam them first in a multi-pot. Cooked about 1/2 done, just long enough to melt the fat which drips out. Then I deep fry them, right out of the steamer into the oil. Skin comes out nice and crispy, no fatty bits inside either. I set my multipot for 8min. Takes 9min to heat my oil to 350dg so I start both at the same time. I can cook a dozen wings in about 15min.

Waiting for the call from my neighbor. He'll finish butchering my calf around noon. Might have to buy another freezer to hold all the meat. Have to play today by ear...

My wings are turkey size and the skin is like rubber so skinning them is necessary. Because they are so big its easy enough to do. I marinate them for two days in a honey, ketchup, dark soy, garlic, sesame oil sauce and bake them low and slow until the sauce is reduced to nothing but finger licking gooyniss.

Small wings are marinated for longer, skins on.

There wasn't a lot of excess fat on my bull this time of year... My neighbor noticed when he processed the meat, commented on it.

So I made burgers tonight, just to see how it cooks. Burgers were fine, nice and juicy. Didn't even use bacon grease on them. They may not be 80/20 but they were yummy.

We had a surprise meal delivered to us at work. The boss arranged for catering. There were burgers, bbq chicken, and smoked sausage. For sides, bbq beans, Mac and cheese, potato salad, and corn on the cob. The chicken was dry, everything else was great. I don't think I'll be eating much this evening...

 

[Amish Heart]

Our hamburger is extra lean, too. It's been good for everything I've cooked with it. Tonight was meatloaf (the healthier, no sodium recipe for husband), potatoes, broccoli, and cantaloupe. Coconut pie for dessert.

 

[Wingnut]

Baked chicken & rice, a "comfort food" since childhood... only this time, I used some Zatarain's Cilantro & Lime Rice, just to try it. I actually mixed more white rice in with the two boxes of Zatarain's, since I'm making a large batch of chicken & rice... leftovers! Chicken & rice is the very first "comfort food" I can remember from my youth, it was cheap & easy for me dear departed mum to make, and my pop (retired submarine commander) didn't take such a hit to the wallet in feeding 9 kids, lol. Pan just went into the oven 15 minutes ago, I'll have a small side salad with the main course once it's ready... gotta love chicken & rice, it's nutritious and filling, never fails to satisfy my hunger, aye?

Nothing like fresh out of the garden!!

 

[Bacpacker]

Totally agree Sis. This is year 3 of this bed, so I'm hoping for a good long harvest this year. Some of the spears were nearly 1/2" diameter.

 

[Peanut]

Had planned to eat the first steak from my bull. Wasn't very hungry so I picked the smallest one from the end of the primal...

Steak n taters! Yummy!

What is Untidy Joseph?

 

[Frodo]

What is Untidy Joseph?

Going to give you a couple of hints
Late 60’s early 70’s comedy sitcom
Characters names were Buffy, Jody, Sissy
Mr French. Brian Keith was the Dad

Mr French was a British buttler who worked for the Dad, Dads brother died
Buffy,Jody, Sissy were their kids who came to live with them

Mr French was very proper and coined th phrase untidy Joseph for a sloppy joe

I remember that show!! I was born in '68 so I probably didn't pay that much attention to it. Thanks for 'splaining!!

 

[ClemKadiddlehopper]

We didn't have a TV and neither did anyone else. (I still don't) I never know what anyone is talking about when it comes to TV. I still have no idea who those characters are, but I can work with your explanation.

 

[Magpie]

Slow cooker meatballs, and for tomorrow just raided the freezer for sausages, rashers, pudding etc. Have a ton of eggs, so a fry it is!
