Today I'm making a big batch of braised pork. I'll be using this recipe as a template: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/chi...shoulder-tacos
This whole meal looks soooo good in those pics! I'll probably use ground chile instead of making the sauce from dried ones, and I'll use the Gordon Biersch lager that I have on hand. Mexican tacos with a German twist!
I'm hoping posting on here will motivate me to do this earlier rather than later.....>8)
Jane: Endless Chicken Soup (tm) - made me snort (with laughter).
watergoddess: how were the tacos? DID you get motivated?
Around here lately: Thursday was homemade Sloppy Joes served with what I call "fridge relishes", which can mean whatever is in there that's needing used - in this case cottage cheese, home-canned bread-n-butter pickles, store-bought pickled beets, and store-bought hot mix pickled stuff. Today was a wondermous Mexican Chickenish casserole, using a can of chicken, some onion slices, and getting rid of the following freezer leftovers: Mexican rice, tortilla soup, and crushed tag-ends of tortilla chips (I crush the bottom of the bags when they get too stale for DH and throw in a bag in the freezer.) It was one of those casseroles you wish you could make all the time, but can't, 'cause it was just an incidental confluence of leftovers that melded perfectly into a meal. I sliced some cuke, shredded some carrot on top and sprinkled with diced green onions and called that our salad/veggie.
Tomorrow is sausage-n-egg-n-cheese toasted bunwiches (need to work on the rest of the buns from the sloppy joes), with the rest of the cuke for early meal, and will use the rest of the sausage with the last of the pepperoni in the freezer for a pizza for late meal. And Sunday am planning fajitas using a pork roast that DH lightly grilled earlier in the week with the awesome warmer weather. Around here we've been able to smell spring coming, and DH is all excited to be grilling again.
In honor of Pi day, dinner tonight is a slice of cheesecake!

Last night, we had a great dish that originally came from a recipe in a magazine, but has evolved over the years. It's a one-pan dish including chicken, sweet potatoes, & frozen mango. Yummy & healthy!
Last night I made a birthday meal for my son. He's Pescatarian. Haha......I tell him he's Presbyterian........
We had an appetizer of shrimp and coctail sauce and then for the meal we had salmon in parchment with lemon and capers, roasted green beans, and couscous with tomatoes and a "wedgie" of lettuce with olive oil/balsamic vinegar, feta cheese and sunflower seeds.
For desert we have a chocolate/tofu pie (that doesn't taste anything like tofu) with whipped cream and toasted almonds. It was a nice splurge!
Reviving the thread, just 'cause I like the subject. :)
Lately, main meals, around the homestead.....
- fried fresh-frozen crappie (bartered, we don't get around to going fishing) w/calico salad.
- ate out Saturday. Mountain oysters-n-fries/tots/rings. It was righteous.
- toast and hash browns under sausage gravy. OJ as the "veggie".
- egg salad sandwiches, filling in breakfast and supper holes. The newest hens have started laying with a vengeance.
- grilled pork steaks, broccoli-n-cheese sauce, and calico salad (lucky it gets better the longer it sets, 'cause it makes way too big a bowl).
- deer burgers w/cheese and lettuce and onions and pickles; along with the rest of the calico salad. Glad to see the last of this salad!
- tomorrow: spaghetti (red sauce) w/meatballs and garlic toast.
- and Thursday is a pot of ham and beans with corn muffins and (?something?) for a veggie/relish.
Frozen blackberries processed in the blender. With heavy cream. I'm contemplating warming up a country rib with homemade BBQ sauce.
