What are you cooking today?

[gonefishin]

I thought it may be interesting to see what people are cooking for themselves. It doesn't have to be anything extraordinary. Sometimes a toasted cheese could get your mouth watering...at least mine

I'm just curious what your cooking today? No matter what it is or how difficult. Sometimes I go through a time where nothing really tempts my taste buds. Not that I don't want to eat...but I suppose I may be just a bit short on inspiration.

So let's hear it

I made a big batch of pot roast today with veal stock I made Sunday. Served it with roast butternut squash and shallots tossed with a touch of Vermont maple syrup and sage. Had some truffle mashed spuds left from Saturday, so I did a stuffed baked yellow Finnish. Gravy bread of course, and a nice Chilean Cabernet (Korda) and a salad.Comfort

for the priest I cook for....

I just roasted a overly fluffy gelatine chocolate marshmellow....pretty yummy, that may just do it for tonight.....it's been a long day with electricians and plumbers, tomorrow will be more of the same.

Top round, roasted a bit beyond rare. Thinly sliced beef, crusty rolls, grilled onions, horseradish for a sandwich. Some fries*. Some oranges, bananas and apples as a nod towards some nutrition.

*Fry sauce is generally included with Fries. This is Utah thing, generally a mix of mayo and ketchup. I add some lemon juice for a bit extra kick. A local fast food chain, Arctic Circle is credited with its creation. They have a fry sauce link too. http://www.arcticcirclerest.com/g_frySauce.html

I just popped some of my frozen sourdough waffles (which I made last Sunday) in my toaster and topped with maple syrup. Too much stuff to be done on my "day off" to cook a real breakfast. Other plans for lunch and dinner.

In the kitchen today I cooked or prepared: 8 quarts of tenderloin beef tips over rice (the best), 8 quarts of chicken tetrazzini, 7 quarts of old fashioned meatloaf, 10 quarts of cheesy zucchini soup, 5 pounds of tuna salad, 25 pounds of pimento cheese and 100 pounds of chicken salad.

12something crepes with bananas, nutella, and dulce de leche and about 80ish lumpia (Filipino egg rolls).

Last night it was braised beef ribs with Ranchero sauce over rice.
Today it'll probably be a pot of beans.

Today...


A roasted lemon chicken with a lemon juice/zest pan sauce. Nothing overly sweet or tart. It turned out nice...


take care,

I had my in-laws over.

I made an assortment of hors d'oeuvres, spinach soup, and poached cod with tomato couscous.

I cooked some fresh cheese and herb tortteloni with sauteed onions, pinenuts and finished it with pesto. Simple and fast. The wife made the salad. She had her diet coke and I had my sprite. Watched a pre-recorded sesion of the Whitehouse Kitchen. Verrry interesting.

I made roast beef. Simple, good, and lots of leftovers for roast beef sandwiches, plus you get jus which you don't get with store bought roast beef.

Vegetarian zucchini and root veg couscous. Saffron, turmeric, cinnamon and honey. Humus. Dried peach rice pudding.

Yesterday I made oven roasted spare ribs with a white wine, vinegar and honey baste (one of Lydia's.) I put it over a bed of polenta with caramelized onions and some green beans on the side. The beans were done in a little of the pork fat and pan drippings. Rice pudding for desert. Mmm, I love rice pudding.
