Wife bought rolls and meats and cheese for a charcuterie board. Cousin is bringing drinks and pie and other friends are bringing brussel sprouts and maybe something else. Pics later maybe. occurred to us 'bout a month ago our short ribs recipe and pot roast is near identical save we use more red wine for the ribs and no prunes. am gonna add prunes next time we make the short ribs, 'cause why not? good luck with dinner. for us, dinner is ordinarily the ez part and is family which makes the day difficult.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Chocolate chip cookies. So a couple of things, between the brown butter and cane sugar instead of white sugar, these things are much darker than normal. Secondly I used too much chocolate chunks and the structural integrity of some cookies was compromised. That said, they are some damn good cookies. The brown butter makes a world of difference while the hint of bourbon and cinnamon works with that toffee-like flavor to round them out. 1 "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "you're a damned filthy lying robot and you deserve to die and burn in hell." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "I love cheese despite the pain and carnage." - ShadySands

LadyCrimson Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Low sodium chicken broth, a chunk of pork shoulder roast (I slow-cook a couple of those each week), diced tomatoes (yes, canned ones, I don't drain them), jalapeno/spices and the below into a big pot: I've basically been eating it once, sometimes twice a day for some weeks now. It's winter-warm/spicy and isn't a rabbit salad. I keep making bigger and bigger batches because hubby keeps "stealing" it so it doesn't last long.

ShadySands Posted December 23, 2022 Author Posted December 23, 2022 My wife's reaction as well but it's homemade Tuna Helper basically. I kept it fairly simple because I wasn't sure if my family was going to like it, especially after the weird looks. They ended up killing the whole batch. It's super flexible and I highly recommend it. You can use box mac and cheese or make it from scratch and punch it up however you like it. It was a staple growing up being it's cheap, easy, and shelf stable. 1 Free games updated 3/4/21

Gromnir Posted December 24, 2022 Posted December 24, 2022 as shady observed, tuna is a shelf stable and relative cheap protein, so we saw it often enough as a sprout. canned tuna and cheese were not uncommon grandma meals, and our personal arsenal o' recipes benefit from their inclusion. am also having a cod au gratin dish which is a win. got a couple outliers o' parmesan + fish and greek feta + fish, but canned tuna and cheese is hardly unknowns at our table.

Hurlshort Posted December 24, 2022 Posted December 24, 2022 Tuna was ruined for me by some Portuguese fishermen neighbors. They would give us jars of tuna filets in olive oil. It was amazing, but now I can't touch the grocery canned stuff. We also moved and lost touch with the fishermen, so now my life is empty. We used to get fresh salmon that way too.
Gromnir Posted December 24, 2022 Posted December 24, 2022 aside, am not a fan o' the tuna melt sandwich, but we do recommend the hatch chile tuna melt from chula seafood grayhawk in scottsdale, az. am recalling there is more than one chula seafood location, but am personal having only been to the scottsdale establishment.

Gfted1 Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 We had company over and my wife tried a new recipe (to us), Mississippi pot roast, and it turned out fantastic. Its our new favorite. Home made mashed potatoes and oven roasted asparagus in olive oil w/ shredded parmesan over the top for the sides. Then we all got hit by an Epsolon tequila truck. 2 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

Great tip I got from Gromnir for regular pot roast that I also use for Mississippi pot roast, add a few prunes. Nobody knows it's in there but the subtle sweetness it elevates the taste. I do mine in the pressure cooker now and I don't even bother removing them anymore, I just shred them in with the meat. Edited January 1, 2023 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21
Gfted1 Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 The recipe she used was very simple, only 4 ingredients; 3 Lb meat, a package of au jus gravy, a package of ranch dressing and 6 oz of pepperoncini with the juice. Then everyone in the crockpot for 4 hours. I really like the bitterness/vinegary-ness of the pepperoncini, so I think the dates would diminish that? 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
ShadySands Posted January 1, 2023 Author Posted January 1, 2023 That's the basic recipe I use as well but I don't add the juice from the pepperoncini. Though I do add more than 6 ounces of peppers. Just throw in a small handful of prunes, I haven't tried dates. 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
