What did everyone cook today?
-
zbigjeff That soup looks awesome. I too love my Vitamix and have a Tomatoe Basil soup that would knock your socks off

Jonathon’s soft jerky!!! Well worth the wait if you ask me. I did have to improvise with a smoke tube and my pellet grill since I don’t have a dedicated smoker. I used my BBQ thermoworks setup to run through the cooking schedule. So far so good

I am back in spurts. Some days are great, some are good, and some I shake so badly that I cannot type. One day at a time and baby steps is the way to go. I have tried to push hard but unfortunately have suffered the consequences of my actions.

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 looks like those few teeth got it done. Awesome

RafterW He’s doing pretty good with the utensils too. I see that he’s eating all of the food groups and that’s great.

RafterW What is that terrible music playing in the background? Do you have a mariachi band there?

Bob Stehlik whenever kiddo #2 comes, I really hope he/she isn’t a finicky eater. It’s been so nice to be able to cook whatever we want and know that our kid will eat it without fussing and not waste food. It’s also been nice not having to give him processed crap during these important early years.

Tex_77 it’s a tradition of ours to listen to the regional music of the cuisine we are cooking! We try to stay cultured out here in the middle! Haha!

RafterW I’m sure his Uncle’s will provide him with plenty of culture!

RafterW That’s great. " Variety is the spice of Life." I think that’s what brings all of us to this Community. The desires and adventure of trying new things! (at least once!)

RafterW Did you warm up the tortilla in the oven to give it that cowboy hat like shape?

HerbcoFood Yes I did. I put it over two rack spans in the oven for a few minutes at 350F. I don’t go too long to where it gets crunchy, just long enough to where it will hold its shape a bit.

RafterW Yeah, I do that sometimes, but man you can fill up so much goodness in the tortilla when you do that. I feel like I need to fill up the entire void if you will!

Dr_Pain Now that sounds good with a grilled cheese, I have a recipe for tomato soup that my Dad gave to me that I love to make on cold days with a grilled cheese.

HerbcoFood yes you can. If I had it my way, I would only eat soft corn tortillas. The wife isn’t much of a fan of those so we usually get flour.

RafterW Now that young man is really going at it, looks like he has quite an appetite.

RafterW Corn all the way for me, I used to not enjoy them, but once you get them warmed up properly and moist, they are hard to beat.

HerbcoFood agreed. Corn tortilla, meat, onion, cilantro, lime. (maybe a Verde salsa too) That is all that is needed on any given taco.

My first meal cooking it myself since getting COVID last week. Some beef fillet in the carbon steel, a few shrimp and a baked sweet potatoe. Easy, but delicious. As you can see from the screen shot, I was watching Jonathon doing the livestream while trying to cook.


GWG8541 Looks delicious. For about four or five weeks after I had COVID, I couldn’t taste anything. Only advantage was it was good time to drink cheap wine!
