Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)

[Poppy]

Tonight's dinner...
Choice: fried, or baked chicken.
potatoes au graten
corn
apple sauce.

Wine of your choice



Yeah, I know... two starches.
But when you smother corn in butter...

Last week, my grandson made Pork Chops!
mashed sweet potatoes, fresh green beans, and a tasty salad.

He should cook more often.

Pork chops are easy to overcook. L@@Ks like your grandson nailed it. YUMMY!

Thanks Chance.
He really did do a good job of it.
Just a little gentle coaching, but it is important to have the right tools.

I think a heavy stainless pan is as good as a cast iron one.
And for an amateur like me a digital thermometer, is the only way to go.

One of our chiefs doesn't like mushrooms, so the've been regulated to only one side of the dish.

Yes raggie, I use induction...nothing better in my book. Very precise control and water boils almost instantly....plus the stove top is super easy to keep clean. If/when this one ever dies, I’d get another ASAP.

Chance,
It's great seeing them working together.
And once again, they prove "Everything is better with bacon!"

Looks sooo goood!

Mom prepared dinner for the family last night.

The Pork chops were cooked to perfection in a slow-cooker.

There was also a green bean & carrot dish, but I opted for more of my favorites. Hence the mashed potatoes overflowing the plate.

Yum... with mushroom gravy, now how can you go wrong with that!?

I rarely plan my meals 6-10 hours a head, so I gave my crockpot away.

My pressure cooker instant pot does have a slow cooker setting, although I have yet to use that setting.
Maybe this winter.

Monday night I made Southern fried chicken, with chicken "Rice a roni" and peas an carrots.
I enjoyed the Rice-a-Roni so much that when I go shopping, I plan to pick up half a dozen packages of it.

my stand mixer taught me one thing there is nothing like grinding your own beef for burgers

Is there an attachment to turn it into a grinder?
I thought they were only good for making dough.

Tonight I took half of a london broil, with onions, garlic, and carrots, with some grill master seasoning, some chicken stock, and port wine, and threw them all into a pressure cooker for 35 minutes. It was very good.

Tomorrow, I'll make some noodles and thicken the juices a bit and pour it over the noodles.

It must have been some residual onion because my eyes watered-up at 7:39.

What a burger!

Getting ready for football, I tried for the first time ever, a Deep Fried snack.

Mac and Cheese balls deep fried.

Served with a dipping sauce of blue cheese dressing, or The Out Back "Blooming Onion Dipping sauce" absolutely amazing!

One of my Christmas presents was some Grill Mates Mojito Lime seasoning. :thumbsup

So here we have Mojito Lime seasoned chicken, with Creamy Cheese Broccoli pasta, and peas and carrots.
I had the Mojito Lime in small packages before, and am delighted that I got it in a 16 oz container.

Aunt Jemima came to sweeten up breakfast.
Cinnamon Raison French toast, and tea in a Star Buck's mug.

A friend and I took an hour and a half drive in his newly purchased 2020 Ford XLT 4x4 to Mossyrock. It was a beautiful day and Mt. Rainier was in its full glory. This burger made the drive even more worth it.
