In a Neverending quest to find gf buns suitable for burgers- Tater tots, burgers (mayo, mustard, onion and dill sauerkraut). Quest continues.

Biscuits and gravy. An egg hiding under the gravy.

Gf cinnamon roll from a bakery. Was okay, way too sweet for my tastes.

Rockfish and Brussel sprouts (many thanks to @lindag for reviving their thread. I love them but tend to forget about them)

Nothing weird tonight either- fish. 😉 Halibut, broccoli, rice.

No pic from last night but, meatloaf and baked sweet potatoes

Iced coffee, mushroom and cheddar omelet, hashbrowns and bacon. Might need a nap after all that

Had some leftover pulled pork that a friend gifted us so, pulled pork and eggs. With green chilis and some rub

A favorite here, especially those perfect potatoes! Chicken, rice, green beans with bacon and mushrooms.

Mountain lion* in peanut sauce w/ peppers, onion, baby corn. Served with rice. *yes mountain lion aka cougar aka puma aka catamount. There is a hunting season here, this was an adult male taken by my partner. The meat is very similar to pork in texture and flavor and is highly regarded by most hunters as a favorite. They are known to carry trichinae so no med rare steaks.

Elk thuringer again, garlic herb brie and some long in the tooth pickled red onions.

Mac n cheese. Rummo GF pasta, gruyere and medium cheddar for cheese.

Yellow pepper, salsa cheddar curds from The Creamery (Beaver,UT), and elk thuringer. (Elk harvested by partner, thuringer made by someone else-I need a stuffer)

Eggs, bacon and potatoes. Back to work tomorrow so a "last hurrah" bf

Bf sausage (pork), over medium eggs. Coffee.

Capellos gf 5 cheese ravioli, garlic greens, mushrooms and parm. (I thought they were really good. Partner was dismayed at a vegetarian dinner)

Traditional Christmas breakfast in our house- cereal. Seriously. I never buy it but with having 2 houses doing Christmases with a kid, we have to share, so in order to expedite gift opening, cereal. Honey nut cheerios and chocolate lucky charms for them, coffee for me.

Christmas eve dinner was halibut chowder. Step daughter doesn't get seafood unless she's at our house so something from the ocean is always on the menu. Be just partner and I tomorrow for dinner and no plans for food yet. Maybe leftovers, maybe just desserts !

Not the prettiest pic but- halibut chowder with yukon gold potatoes, carrot, onion, cream and a pile of butter. Dill added tableside. Oyster crackers and Brazi Bites.

A once in awhile bf. Sausage gravy, biscuits and egg. Bear bf sausage, Cappello gf everything biscuits. ("Gravy" of cream cheese and heavy cream. It's super rich)

Elk roast with potatoes, carrots, onions and mushroom gravy.

I would love to have one! Have found 2 for sale and the first I waited too long to purchase and it was gone (at a very reasonable sum!). The other was at auction and an eye-opening bid of several hundred more than I was willing to part with. I picked up an old Le Creuset piece for $10 at the same auction so not all was lost.

Yours and mine must be kin somewhere along the line!! My father has always joked that the smoke alarm is my mothers kitchen timer. I called my mother a couple years ago and when she answered, the alarm was going off. I asked what she was cooking as burnt offering this time as I could hear the "timer", a few uncharacteristic 4 letter words from her and she hung up on me.

Ive been GF for a long time and in addition to the above, use McCormick GF gravy packets. (Horrors I know!) They are available on Amazon and I use just a pinch at times. The one issue with the gravy packets and the cornstarch- they can be weird reheated. Texture wise they stay a bit thick/gloppy when reheated. If you are pre-making your braise, stick with the potato starch/instant potato, you will likely be unhappy to serve the reheated braise with the cornstarch. And if not out of place, cream cheese is a fabulous thickener.

Yes please! I am a commercial fishermans daughter and it goes back many generations in my fathers family. Water and fish slime are in my blood ❤️, I spent many a day on the deck and mending nets.
