Ribs, beans, brussels and roasted potatoes Then for Super Bowl we had fried chicken gizzards and pheasant strips, Eskimo Joe's salad (Eskimo Joe's is a restaurant in Stillwater, OK--Ronnie's daughter went to college there...they had a wonderful salad that has rotini pasta tossed with Italian dressing and artichoke hearts topped with salad fixings that I try to replicate), and sausage rolls Last night, breakfast to use up some leftover steak

@cyalexa's buns

We wanted something like an Arby's sandwich, hence the idea to brine. Meat was pretty tender before starting. No, it was completely thawed out before cooking.

Prepare yourself for an epic sous vide failure by me. Life has thrown us a curve ball--we are all ok but it was quite a curve and I seem to have lost my cooking mojo for a bit. A day or two before the curve Ronnie put a nice venison roast into a salt brine and the plan was to sous vide it and then slice it super thin for sandwiches. My head wasn't really into cooking, but I knew that roast needed to be used and I thought that it would make a nice, simple meal so I quickly googled and went with the first recipe I found. I know, stupid move. Anyway, here is the roast before I ruined it: I sous vide it for 24 hours at 130F. It was AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. Totally mushy, and tasted just like liver. Too long? Too high of a temp? I don't know. Someone hopefully will chime in here. So, Chum has been getting venison snacks........ On the upside, I had to go to the grocery store to pick up a prescription and I cruised by the meat section. Buy one get one free!!!! I loaded up. Excellent porterhouse steaks--2 for a total of $14!

OMG Anna, those look so good.

Quesadillas again. This time to use up leftover pork chops.

I'm just getting over my flu. Monday was day 14. This stuff is no joke. Beautiful chicken! Pork lo mein and sticky wings last night

Thank you! I used this fresh mozzarella on top and layered throughout--it's about the only fresh I can find at the regular grocery store and it's good. Ronnie absolutely detests ricotta cheese.....and, growing up, my mom always used cottage cheese, so that's what I do. A couple cups of cottage cheese mixed with a beaten egg and a good amount of grated parmesan cheese.

I don't think you meal looks like it suffered at all! I'm hungry for a burger. Bookmarking this recipe. I want to try this in the summertime. Looks very good!!!! Gorgeous pizzas everyone. Lasagna for us last night Yes, I fall on the side that likes it when the top noodles get crunchy And, I feel everyone's football pain. As a die-hard Broncos fan.....well, I need not say more. I will cheer for anyone that plays against New England.

Every single dish looks to die for. I'm sorry your mom is sick--this flu going around here is no joke and neither is pneumonia. I hope she's on the road to recovery and is out of the hospital very soon!

Hmmmm....I do have graham crackers......

I just set my DVR up last night to record this show.

OMG I think it looks delicious. I have bananas...but no nilla wafers. Sigh.

I used my Lodge skillet last night to make scalloped potatoes. I love that I can take it from stovetop to the CSO. I peeled russet taters and sliced them on the mandoline. I buttered my skillet and then layered the taters in...sprinkling with salt and pepper and a bit of flour over each layer. Then I poured in some heavy cream and let it simmer until the taters were soft and most of the cream is absorbed. Sprinkled with sharp cheddar and finished in the CSO at 350F until browned and bubbly. Before entering the CSO

SV'd pork chops, rehydrated zucchini and tomatoes on toast and scalloped taters

That's how I do it--sometimes I don't even core it. Works like a dream.

Those look SO good, Anna.

I bet she can't make peanut butter pickle candies and mail them to me.

Ann's garlic honey chicken again. I am running very low on veggies so I used some brussel sprouts and bamboo shoots an onions. It worked.

I would like this multiple times if I was allowed to.

Ok. No. Just. No. Definitely a local only for you. Unlike the pizza, I am begging you not to try this lol.

I love pickle and peanut butter sandwiches. Some one that makes candies should do peanut butter and pickle juice. You will make a zillion dollars.

Aw, I used to love looking at Steven's bentos for PJ.

STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!!! Pickle juice caramels???????? Sign me up. Want.

Quesadillas to use up a tiny bit of leftover prime rib from the other night.
