The wife has been away for the last 10 days so I did not do anything of note really, save for some very tasty (If I do say so myself) Oatmeal Raisin cookies But tonight she's back, snow is in the air, it's Sunday, playoff football is around the corner so it's a perfect time for slow cooked homemade Boston Baked Beans with a side order of freshly baked Sourdough .
Perhaps I should get some good beer to go along with it and really do some carb loading that should glue me to my chair for the evening. Gas Ex here I come!

Italian night..
Veal Marsala (one of my favs) w/ saute'd garlic broccoli spears, side of fresh made fettucini noodles with red tomatoe sauce, grated parm/reg. Cesaer salad. The roasted garlic bread baking in the oven as I type... house smells great.
No wine drinkers here BUT Cocktails start about 5:30

Chrose,
Ya need some episoto. Also, try not salting your beans untill almost finished. Then let me know if you need the gasx.
I'm already braising some veal shanks for afternoon lunch. Can't believe I'm paying almost 18. a pound for something that used to be cheap soul food. Haven't figured out the sides yet. Have some nice greens.
I will also be glued to a chair hoping to win a car on an ebay auction.

Sad isn't it? I knew I should have gotten the Epazote in my last Penzys order oh well. Here's hoping....

Just finished our Sunday Supper. German style braised spareribs with sweet and sour cabbage and spaetzel. Tonight's chow is not even a thought after that meal. I also find myself glued to the chair too. May crack open that bottle of LaTrappe Quadruple I've had aging for da Bears game.

Frayed,

Sunday lunch today was roast beef, with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and parsnips, honey-glazed carrots and spring greens, with a meat juices gravy. There were six for lunch and there's loads of beef left for sandwiches.

Garlic and pepper rubbed flank steak on the grill. Baked potatoes with the usual toppings, and some chives that are peeking up in the garden. Tossed Green salad. Pretty much american Steakhouse tonight, just at home.

I've taken to flank steak as my most common steak lately. Less expensive but with a good flavor and tender when cooked and cut carefully. Still prefer a ribeye, but those are quite a bit more. Flank is good bang for the buck. I suppose my doctor prefers me to have the flank too as it has less fat.

oldschool -- I hope you get to cook those ribs and lamb before they go off! Or if you don't get to them quite soon enough, use lots of spices. Oh-I see you cooked the ribs. Sounded delish. Now only the lamb to go!

Tonight: Pan-grilled loin veal chops (brined first for about an hour), with lemon wedges
Puree of celery root/celery/scallions/russet potatoes (with sour cream and dried celery leaves blended in)
Salad of radicchio, endive, red leaf, cucumber, and "sun-dried" tomatoes, dressed with oil from the tomatoes, red wine vinegar, and dried oregano
Palmer chardonnay (North Fork of Long Island, NY)

Ish- My favorite meal- my kids are probably the only one's in their school that even know what Yorkshire pudding is. They've grown up with it. My daughter had a friend over last time I was making it, and she asked why we were having pudding for dinner shouldn't that be for dessert? We tried not to laugh at her. There's never left overs of pudding here...

Our last two meals were far less that what was planned. Although after going out for mediocore Mexican last night I pulled some sauce and meatballs I made and sealed a couple weeks ago out of the freezer.

Too bad it was two hours later that I was able to stop shouting at the 4 different reps and mgrs at itech and forgot all about the sauce. Made it on to the cooktop but I didn't increase the temp to heat it. Good thing I had some panchetta and proscuitto on hand.

I made Carbonara for my wife, my daughter had her normal plain pasta, pasta with romano and then pasta with sauce and I had some "sauce" (went liquid until the meatballs were ready and it wasn't the '85 I planned) So I had a meatball sub.

Still have the ribs and lamb in the fridge so after I come off the ceiling from having to fund at close insdtaed of receive...We'll have those nice meals I had planned. (Sorry for the slight vent) Now I can say Ahhhhhh. Salute'! Jindon!!

Isn't that such fun???? Ug- and they wonder why we are so stressed? In some other countries, you can still buy property with a little more than a handshake....
Sorry to hear your dinner was ruined too. At least it is done now- you did say everything closed ok, right?
Time to break out the champagne and a favorite meal!

Tonight it's gonna be Pork Sausages with Olive Oil & Roasted Garlic Mash,Roast Parsnips and a Caramelized Onion Gravy.

In days gone by in Yorkshire it was served as a separate course, with gravy, before the meat and veg - presumably as a 'filler' so that a little meat could go a long way - and was often then served as a pudding, smeared with jam or marmalade.

I remember my Granny serving it for pudding with Lyons Golden Syrup!
Very nice it was too.

Beans and football Last night was a good night. Tonight thoiugh it's back to a standard work week which means mostly utility cooking. But we have left over sourdough and we have chicken breasts so I guess it will be a chix pan stew with sourdough. Works for me

[Ishbel]

spaghetti bolognese in our house tonight.
