What did everyone cook today?
-
Another taco night lastnight. Tacos de carne deshebrada. My boy only has a few teeth, so he got the “deconstructed version” He had all the fixings and ate it all. It amazes me how much a toddler can put down!



RafterW that void in their stomach gets larger as the grow. Never figured about where our boys put it all. When our parents took us out to eat it was a buffet place typically, thirteen of us, eight boys and our dad. We would put a hurt on that buffet, no one went to the salad bar.

Had a need to process aged cherry and roma tomatoes. So, I roasted 3 lbs of tomatoes, red pepper, carrots, onions and celery with the normal herbs of basil, oregano, thyme, s&p and 5 cloves of garlic. Used another tool (Vitamix) to puree all materials. Just had to accompany this soup with a grilled cheese sandwich.


zbigjeff What I created was pretty darn good. But, added 2 items that took the tomato soup over the top. Added a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of Sherry. All I can say is try it and you will be rewarded.

Tex_77 That’s a steal. What a find.

Tex_77 that is cheap as H E L L!

26# of pork butt cut up and ready to grind. I vac sealed using the Walton’s Fresh Vac Sealer Jonathon

Tex_77 that vac sealer is a little workhorse isn’t it? I love mine. I thought about ordering another one to leave at our hunting cabin!

ND Mike Yes, it seems to be quite the beast, and an upgrade from Foodsaver Vac Sealer.

Biscuits and gravy this morning. Used the sausage I made yesterday using the Holly Regular Pork Sausage with extra Sage added. The wife tolerates the spice level better on the Holly better than others, but wants more sage. May order the #1504 CSX and see how she likes that one.

wdaly Needed a little warm up food. Was a little cool here in the NW this morning, not nearly as cool as it can be in Nebraska. We were at 23 degrees this morning and only at 29 degree’s now, but at least the sun is out and no fog.

johnsbrewhouse my wife likes sage in her breakfast sausage so I got the 1504 from Walton’s she says it is very good I did 25 pounds of it half in sheep casings and the other half bulk for biscuits and gravy
gus4416 My wife can’t have the red pepper spice, her stomach will rebel. We’ll see how she does today, she said she was ok with today’s batch of Holly with the extra sage I added even with the pepper bite. She tells me she doesn’t know what sage tastes like but lived in Georgia for quite a few years and uses poultry seasoning like its going out of style.

johnsbrewhouse do you make your own white sauce or do you use packaged gravy mix?

kyle Everything from scratch. Add flour to the sausage once it is cooked, then cook it for a bit, then add cream and milk and thicken, season to taste. Easy as pie.

johnsbrewhouse Hard to beat good biscuits and gravy, especially on a cold morning

johnsbrewhouse must be a women thing n
My wife can’t take any heat either makes it hard sometimesgus4416 a lot of it stems from when she had her gallbladder removed. Some of it stems from the crap she eats during the day when she works from home in the basement. Lots of processed crap, I tell her it’s not good for her as well as the doctor, but it’s in one ear and out the other. I make nutritious somewhat healthy dinners for her and she picks at things and doesn’t eat the good stuff every time. After 20 years, I don’t expect change, so I just make subtle suggestions, very subtle. If we have unhappy wife, we have unhappy life.

johnsbrewhouse My wife is retired but sets in front of the computer half the night and does the same thing . At one time where we used to live we could get a organic share of vegetables when we did that the stomach problems went away but I can’t convince her that was true so I am with you I just let it go we do eat pretty healthy and I don’t eat junk so we just do are own thing

kyle Sacralidge!!! Gravy is so easy to make, but I have at least one sister that I know uses a package product. I do have some packaged goods here for my wife to use when I am gone. I just shake my head.
