We did do smoked pork chops on the grill, but instead of applesauce or apple butter we used some of the tomato relish I made a few days ago. Changes the flavor profile a bit but it works very well with the pork.
October 6, 2024 at 7:49 pm #44163For dinner, I made salmon patties, which we had open-faced on one of the buns I baked today. I will freeze four of the patties for a future meal.
October 6, 2024 at 8:39 pm #44165No cooking for me today I had salami and tomato sandwich with leftover potato salad.I feel like crap today like a summer cold with a little sore throat.I'm taking what I have on hand Sudafed and another cold medicine.
October 6, 2024 at 10:14 pm #44166I made chicken quesadillas and a salad.
October 7, 2024 at 11:44 am #44168I hope that you feel better soon, Joan.
On Monday morning, I made broccoli salad. I also made a triple recipe of Sloppy Joes. I am in charge of the first night's dinner at my husband's cousins' reunion, so I worked ahead. Usually, I use ground turkey and make Sloppy Josephines, but we will be having turkey the next night, so I wanted to introduce some variety. I realized, after tasting it, that my usual spices did not have enough umph for ground beef, although I increased the Adobo seasoning. I ended up adding Paprika and some of Penzey's Tsardust seasoning blend. That gave it the taste it needed. I have to avoid intense hot spices for my husband, but need to consider the group at large, so this blend should work.
October 7, 2024 at 2:13 pm #44171I'm making a batch of chicken stock from the remains of the rotisserie chicken.
October 7, 2024 at 6:30 pm #44174Thanks BakerAunt I decided to go to the doctor today he gave me Prednisone , Azithromycin and cough syrup.I know the zpack will knock this stuff out quick.He said I had the crud well I knew that lol.
While at Publix I bought 2 chuck eye steaks and 2 sweet potatoes.So I had a steak and potato tonight it was really good for a change.October 7, 2024 at 8:43 pm #44175Tonight Will grilled some more chicken tenders - they only had 3 packages at Harris Teeter this morning. I made a green salad with tomatoes and avocado with Caesar Dressing and crispy fried shallots that I made. We're getting ready for the next tropical storm (at least for us), but we are on the left side of the storm this time. I just feel so badly for the people on the West Coast of Florida - it's too much. Has anyone seen the pictures of the traffic evacuating?
October 7, 2024 at 8:52 pm #44176Cwcdesign prayers for you and all in the path of the storm. Yes I saw them evacuating , praying it stays away.
October 7, 2024 at 11:38 pm #44177We had no-bread tuna melts again for supper. The tomatoes were all around 4 ounces, so I wound up using 4 of them. I doubt I will get a lot more tomatoes out of the garden, no fruit appears to be setting and the vines are pretty picked out. Still a number of small tomatoes (cherry/grape size) but probably nothing larger than 3 ounces and not many of those.
I'm going to try an experimental hydroponics setup for tomatoes over the winter, growing Italian Heirloom and something like Better Bush, both determinates. I planted the Italian Heirloom under the lights last week, they're doing fairly well, I need to start the other plants this week. This will be a Deep Water Culture system. (Aerogarden is also a DWC system, but a lot more automated.) I'll post photos when I get it set up.
I also started 12 more lettuce plants in the Aerogarden on Friday, they've all sprouted already.
October 8, 2024 at 9:10 am #44178We had herbed lamb loin chops with roasted potatoes and green beans. We usually buy the lamb chops at Costco. They are more than an inch and a half thick and they are very reasonably priced. I pinned the recipe from Epicurious and they still allow me to see it even though I am not a subscriber.
October 8, 2024 at 3:07 pm #44182Tonight I had breakfast for supper...Bacon, eggs with spinach and mozzarella cheese and toast with jam.
October 8, 2024 at 6:52 pm #44183I had a big salad, Diane had an omelet.
October 9, 2024 at 1:20 pm #44186I had a piece of rotisserie chicken from the freezer, roasted potatoes and green beans with carrots and mushrooms.
