Pork belly ramen

Got more of Chris' mushrooms done

It's a butter knife and the arrow points your towards the butter.

Pork sandwiches and the very very last marinated mushrooms. I gotta hurry up and get done with Thanksgiving so I can make more of these this afternoon.

😯 I've never seen canned cherry tomatoes before! Are they peeled?

Ground venison stroganoff

No, I don't think that's too much liquid for the collards. For taters I put a cup of water in the IP, then the steamer thingy and the potatoes on that.

Thanks so much! The grocery store was a ZOO yesterday --I had to shove my way through a crowd to get to the mushrooms. I'm happy I came out alive. (Yes, he's either coming Monday --that was an unexpected announcement last night lol--or Wednesday so I'm going to work hard today to get a bunch done )

@HungryChris I've been up since 3 this morning so forgive me if this is a dumb question--I'm a little loopy lol. I bought a bunch of mushrooms yesterday so I can make your marinated ones today (our hunter comes next week and I think he'll love them). I have a bunch of the marinade (brine? juice? lol) left in my jar. Do you ever re-use it or should I just start from scratch?

Fried chicken, taters and frozen corn from our garden. We've tried semi-hard to eat from the freezer in order to make more room for deer season which is rapidly approaching. Unearthed a package of backstrap venison steaks so Ronnie threw 'em on the grill last night.

I don't like barely cooked collards, either. I've done mine for 30 mins and I thought they were really good.

DITTO

I, too, wondered if the Barrio name was a connection Thanks for answering that with your ESP.

I love the little paper airplane on the glass! I would order one just for that.

Pork enchiladas and Rancho Gordo beans.

I'm telling ya--they have saved me so many times. So simple to make and freeze. So easy to bake and serve.

I just have to bump this up for the holiday season. I can't tell you guys how often having these in the freezer has saved me stress and time. I use them to make a quick breakfast for Ronnie in the morning with an egg. I use them for appetizers. Heck I've used them for dinner. SO handy. I just made a huge batch.

Oh I bet not. I get those coupons in the mail--I've just never read the fine print. I will next time.

Sheesh. The list would be shorter if they would just say what IS included lol.

Excellent idea! Will do.

Me and the VacMaster have been busy this duck season

A few meals to catch up on. It's been a phenomenal duck season here--we've eaten a LOT of duck. I've been searching for new recipes. I had a thought that maybe I could make @Ann_T's honey garlic chicken only using duck instead of chicken. I had some teal breasts so I sliced them like I do the chicken. It worked really well! Very tender. Tried to make a huge batch of egg rolls so I could have some in the freezer. My wrappers had been in the freezer for too long and they didn't hold up well. So, I got a few made. Must go to the Asian market next week so I can make more. SV'd a pork loin. As usual, very tender. Salad using some of @HungryChris 's marinated mushrooms (I'm almost out ) Ronnie's brother makes the best hot sauce and he gave us a jar so hot wings last night.

Host's note: This and the next 8 posts were originally in the Instant Pot topic. I don't want to de-rail this IP thread, I'll just drop this VacMaster link here and await news from @divalasvegas that she's purchased one 😁

I always salt my beans before cooking.

Oh ditto for me--there are only two of us, but same. I throw away more shredded cabbage cole slaw mix than you would believe. Same for limes. Oh and also mushrooms. Sigh.
