"See You....In SEPTEMBER 2020!" "So What's Cooking?"

Cookin Lore wrote:Well, the "Plan C" with the pork roast I had in the oven has turned into plan "D" for tonight's dinner.  The roast is delicious, but the bone in it was so big, it was hard to slice.  So, I had a lot of bits and pieces.  Some big enough that I have put them in the freezer to figure out what to do later.  

Then I figured, why not make a goulash out of the pork.............. I had a humungous portobello, chopped that up, sauteed that and a big onion, added some beef broth and then the pork pieces.  It was OK, but needed a little more flavour.  So, I tasted the bit of very overcooked sauerkraut that had been on the bottom of the roasting pan, put some of that along with the pan drippings into the pot, and voila!  I have invented a new dish!  Then I called 87 year old uncle and asked him to come for dinner.  He's great at trying out my experiments.  He's just happy if he doesn't have to cook! LOL  I will put some potatoes in the oven to bake.

Worse case scenario, you end up ordering pizza.....

And I'll bet they would still love it!

Our main cable box is out and we won't have TV for 3 days until the repairman comes. I guess we will have to watch DVDs. I miss the news though.

bethk wrote:Well, watching a video of Jacques making a crispy rice cake with eggs on top SEEMED easy enough.....

But I couldn't get it flipped in one piece.

But my eggs DID cook properly on top and it really was quite tasty for a 'left over' dinner.  Dane ended up making a Greek Salad with leftover chicken fingers.  So we were both satisfied.

There was this middle eastern couple: he had long hair, a thousand dollar haircut and dressed in all black, she was tall and slender, probably 20 years his junior. They pull up in a Rolls Royce SUV. The first house they look at is in Beverly Hills, 10,000 sq/ft, $10M dollars. The second is 30,000 sq/ft @ $72M dollars. They couldn't choose so they bought both and also wanted a third home. Must have been oil money.

I just noticed, when I do that, there is a place to 'click' ~ ~ "Report this as offensive/adult content"



The only thing I ever enlarge is food photos......hahahahahahahaha!

........and the only offensive part is the total number of calories on my plate!

And when I enlarged the pic I could tell you had shaved cheese on top......

Cool.

Do you think Halloween will cancelled this year?

Got to go back to the store and buy something to eat since my freezer was cleaned out yesterday. I bought a stick-on child lock that will make sure I close the freezer door tightly. Hopefully, it will solve the problem.

Our freezer has a built in lock. We never used it until,I accidentally didn’t close it properly. Now I use it all the time. Problem solved
