Wishing you a full and speedy recovery, CWC.

This afternoon I made rye pizza dough, enough for 3 small pizzas (1/3 each of rye, semolina and bread flour, hydrated with milk). So for dinner, I had a sliced meatball pizza with a side of green beans, cauliflower and carrot.

Joan, your steak dinner looks delicious!

Tonight was more of the same, a stuffed pepper, sugar snap peas and cauliflower and some pasta.

I made meatballs, stuffed peppers and a pork tenderloin on the BBQ this afternoon. Meals for the next 8 days.

While I was out there, one of my neighbors warned me about a large raccoon that was wandering around, I did spot it but it stayed in the back near the fence. Got my food inside just before the sun disappeared.

I think tonight I will have a pepper, snap peas and cauliflower and maybe mashed potato.

I know BBQ purists would never use a pan like I do, but I'm all about easy cleanup and when I do this, the food tastes just like BBQ.

Joan, your soup looks delicious, and I love that bowl.

Today I made stock with the turkey bones and skin in the Instant Pot. It yielded about 3 quarts of liquid gold. The proportion of meat to bones on a 7 pound turkey isn't real favorable but it was delicious.

I haven't quite decided on tonight's dinner but I'm leaning towards turkey soup.

I have a couple of small turkeys in the freezer, on Monday I pulled one out (7.5 pounds) and have slow thawing it in the fridge. I prepped it for the oven early this afternoon. It was still somewhat icy but not too bad. I split it down the back and seasoned both sides with salt, a touch of garlic powder and thyme. I put it in a 2 inch tall half sheet pan, it's a pretty good fit. It's in the oven now.

One hour 45 minutes later it is out of the oven.

That's great, Mike, I bet the whole family is proud of her.

That bottom third of the class better do a little less partying!

I had the equivalent of a patty melt but made with slices of pork tenderloin instead of a burger patty, with Mexican style cheese - the kind you use for quesadillas - green beans and cauliflower (a cauliflower goes a long way!).

[RiversideLen]

For dinner, I had leftover pork, pasta, green beans and cauliflower.

I bought an Instant Pot the other day and made red lentil soup in it this afternoon. It came out pretty good. I'm looking forward to making stocks in it.

Love that pic, Joan.

They have some good food in Texas, too.

[RiversideLen]

Glad you enjoyed yourself, Joan!

I made a pork tenderloin, snap peas with cauliflower and left over mashed potatoes.

[RiversideLen]

I had my last stuffed pepper, mashed potato and snap peas.

[RiversideLen]

Pretty much the same as yesterday, a stuffed pepper, broccoli, cauliflower and pasta.

[RiversideLen]

Joan, that pot roast looks good, I've been thinking about it since I haven't had one in a long time.

I had a couple of real nice red peppers so I made stuffed peppers tonight.

I made pork tenderloin on the BBQ this afternoon. For dinner I had some with mashed potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, green beans and sauteed mushrooms.

That sounds real good, Mike.

I had spaghetti, meatballs, and some veggies.
