What did everyone cook today?

HerbcoFood Wow those look great.
So for Valentine’s Day I asked my lovely wife what she wanted for dinner since we both had to work today. She wanted steak so I went with beef fillet (medium rare), mushrooms and onions, and Fondant potatoes. I left work a little earlier than her and surprised her with chocolate dipped strawberries and homemade banana bread. Thanks for the Banana bread idea johnsbrewhouse. Don’t laugh at my strawberries, I’m not the artsy type, but tried a white chocolate drizzle over the dark. Let’s just say they had plenty of chocolate on them and they were good.

Little steak and crab cakes for a special lady.

Pull out my last rib roast, my wife likes it medium, ugh. Add some creamed spinach, wild rice pilaf and sauteed mushrooms. A pineapple upside down cake along with a bottle of home made black currant wine.

GWG8541 That a good looking meal, and your banana bread looks good too. I made the wife a Salisbury steak that was heart shaped using some meatloaf seasoning I just got from Walton’s. I almost dyed it red, but then I thought she might not eat it thinking it was raw or rare.

We just did some simple old Fried Whole Turkey with mashed taters, Simple Dressing, & home made Cranberry. I tried using Soybean Oil as although for the past 35 years of frying turkeys, at least, I have never strayed from Peanut Oil, the Price has now gone beyond ridiculous. The Soybean Oil has a higher smoke point 460 vs 450, so I figured, what the heck, let’s give it a shot, with Soybean Oil less than 1/3rd the price of Peanut. It worked perfectly fine. Now the next question will be, how many times can I filter it & re-use it before too much break down. Stay tuned for the future. We forgot to take photos though. I made a homemade injection liquid with Honey, Lemon, Garlic Juice, melted butter, & some of our pepper sauce to give it a little kick. The breast was a little drier than I typically like it to be for frying (13 pounder at about 46 minutes), the dark meat was perfect, the skin for the most part was crunchy & tasty.
calldoctoday Sounds like a feast to me.

GWG8541 You certainly went all out and that steak is cooked perfectly. Bet the wife was more than pleased.

Tex_77 Great looking combo. Steak and cakes is always a hit and your’s look delicious.
