    Arrived home at 9 pm after a two day trip, tired and hungry, but was able to pick up the makings of a meal and put it together.

     

    I did a sort of 青椒肉片 (qīng jiāo ròu piàn) which is stir fried pork slices with green chilli peppers. Also has the usual suspects: garlic, ginger, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and scallions. A very common fast food type dish around these parts. It is normally served with rice, but I'm not normal so I served it with 刀削面 (dāo xiāo miàn) or "knife cut noodles". I'd like to claim that I made the noodles myself, but it would be an outrageous lie. I bought them dried from the local store.

    This looks so good. Makes my mouth water.   I need to make more dishes like this.  You always make it look so easy.

    Roasted a chicken in my new steam oven last night.  Moe ate the legs last night for dinner.

    This morning I made hot chicken sandwiches with double fried fries.

    BTW  you are supposed to run a full cycle in the oven before cooking in it.

     

    I looked through the manual looking to see if there were any instructions prior to using and couldn't find anything.

    So I toasted...........Homemade bread.

     

    And it past the toast test.  We like our toast well toasted so I started it out on the #6 setting.  I did have to set

    it for a second time but for only an extra two minutes.   Next time I will go right to the 7th setting.  Was still quicker

    than my old Cuisinart convection toaster oven.  Which only got used for toast. 

     

    I am going to look for a small roasting pan today. One that will fit in the oven, but can also be put on the stove.  I want to be able to make

    gravy in the same pan a chicken is roasted in.    Unfortunately my favourite cast iron skillet that I use for roasting won't fit this little oven.

    Canada Post has competitors who deliver on Sundays when it’s Black Friday.

    cP was actually quoted as being more expensive than Purolator on a recent Amazon order.

    In this case it was free delivery through Best Buy.   Ordered Thursday and delivered today.  

    I do a lot of shipping to the US and Canada and I always use Canada Post.

  4. Still had some bread dough in the fridge from the batch I made on Wednesday night.

     

    Made a plain cheese pizza for dinner.  Cooked on a stone on the grill.

    Matthew shaved some parm on half the pizza when it came off the stone.

  5. Used the steam function on the Breville PC this morning for chicken with garlic and ginger.

    Took a loaf of bread out of the oven late last night.

    And had leftover NY steak from dinner.

    So Moe's breakfast this morning was toast and leftover steak.  I did offer to cook him eggs

    but he was happy with just the steak and toast.

    What I am thankful for is that we didn’t end up in the ER.  We didn’t find out until after we ate that her stuffed turkey sat on the counter STILL STUFFED for almost 5 hours. 

     

    @Kim, reminds me of my mother.  I think because of her I'm immuned to food poisoning.     I grew up with gas stoves.  The kind with pilot lights.  We usually had holiday turkey dinners around 1 or 2 in the afternoon.  For space purposes, Mom would put the turkey back in the turned off oven for a few hours.  Incubating from the heat from the pilot light.  And there was often still stuffing in the bird.

  8. So many wonderful looking Thanksgiving Dinners.   I'm with Suzi.  I'd be happy with just the mashed potatoes, gravy and peas.

     

    I decided to cook something "turkey" for dinner last night in honour of American Thanksgiving.

    Stuffed Turkey Legs.

    I got a head start, by boning out the legs before leaving for work.

    The legs were stuffed, roasted and served with mashed potatoes, rutabaga and fresh green beans.

  9. I've started reading through all the posts on the CSO and getting advice from Shelby.  

     

    Wasn't in any hurry to purchase but have been watching the price on Amazon.ca and Bestbuy.ca.   Yesterday Best Buy had it priced at $279.00,   Checked this morning and they

    had it on special for $219. CAD.   plus free shipping.   Couldn't resist.  

     

    Not sure what the difference is in Model numbers but the one available was the CSO-300N1.

     

    Still have some reading to do before it arrives.
