I haven't been out to eat in like 100 years, but not seeing the prices would really bother me because I would be horribly embarrassed if I happened to order something ridiculously expensive. Doesn't matter if it was just Ronnie and I or someone was hosting us. Edited to say there is no way in hell Ronnie would take us to such a place that didn't show prices 🤣

@Panaderia CanadienseSO good to see you :) @DanteTHAT is a pan of nachos that I'd happily scarf down. @Norm MatthewsNice looking spread. Venison meatloaf, mashed potatoes and salad to use up the rest of the green bean salad. After a very very crappy dental visit, brats ....mostly for Ronnie. I nibbled on fries and drank a vat of wine. Last night I needed to use up the rest of the pasta dough and rabbit ragu so I made some ricotta cheese in the IP and blanched some fresh spinach to make ravioli.

My fridge was getting shockingly bare so I doubled up this week and got both Imperfect and Misfits. Misfits offered corn so I got a couple ears. Haven't eaten them yet, but they actually smell like they might be good. The poblano peppers are decent size. And, although I have some really nice chicken stock frozen, I couldn't pass these cans of low sodium broth for sixty nine cents a piece. Handy when I need a small about of broth. Imperfect was mainly because I'm obsessed with the lamb they sell and I wanted some for the freezer. Also, somewhere here people were talking about buying good butter so I splurged and got some Vermont cultured butter with sea salt. No one tell Ronnie that I spent that much on butter. OH and they offered SHISHITO PEPPERS!!!!! Very exciting.

Massively seconded!

This makes me curious as to how the olive canners --makers---you know what I mean--get the pits out so well.

I can even get them pitted at the smaller grocery store I frequent. They ain't cheap, but I can get them.

@Kim ShookThat pork looks amazing. @dcarchBeautiful looking dish as usual. I'm with you on the scallops. @JoNorvelleWalkerI'm so glad you're getting to fill your shad craving :) After seeing @Smithy's pizza the other day, I had to have it too. Pepperoni and olive. Salad to go with. Ronnie cold smoked a domestic turkey quarter and a couple of wings--185F for 4 hours. Then I threw them in the SV bath at 148F for 7 hours. Got nice and tender for smoked turkey sandwiches. First bit of lettuce from the garden on top. Of course fries and shishito peppers on the side. As @Anna N predicted, Mr. Rabbit became dinner. See more on the Rabbit Cookoff topic. Rabbit ragu sounded good on a cold spring night. I made pasta. Feta, pine nut, green bean salad Rabbit ragu

As I wrote on the dinner thread, we had a rabbit wreaking havoc on our asparagus. I'm usually willing to share a bit...but this guy was biting off the top of every asparagus spear! So. He became dinner. He was a really old buck. I felt like he was going to be really tough. So, we brined him for a day while I thought about what I wanted to do with him. Ronnie wanted me to either sous vide or pressure cook and then fry him up, but I wasn't in the mood to fry anything last night. We can do fried a different time. It was cold, so I thought Rabbit Ragu sounded lovely. Ronnie deboned the meat for me while I prepped everything else. Here are the tenderloins. These were actually not tough at all. I didn't start this early enough to do it on the stove, so IP to the rescue! I browned the rabbit chunks in some olive oil then removed them and added onions, celery, carrots and garlic and cooked until a bit soft. Deglazed with a bunch of red wine. Added mushrooms, the browned rabbit, some tomato paste, a jar of my canned tomatoes, salt, pepper and some bay leaf. High pressure for an hour. Meanwhile I made pasta Finished dish I woke up in the middle of the night wanting to sneak down and eat another bowl. I restrained myself....this might be what's for breakfast :)

No one should go this long without mashed potatoes. 😁

It's coooooold here and we got an inch of snow this morning (all melted now though). Your husband wouldn't be a happy camper here today lol. I just got my potato and onion sets from Burpee (even though I ordered right after Christmas they are a month late due to the flood of people buying for their gardens apparently due to pandemic). Won't be able to get into the ground for a few days. And another hard freeze tonight will wipe out our lilacs and plum bushes sigh. I've spent time worrying that you don't have a potato masher in the PrincessMobile.......

And, @Kim Shook, get ready because you're next :)

Ok, so after I'm done being Moe, I'm going to live with @blue_dolphin.

I'm glad my garbled middle of the night information helped LOL! I WANT prime rib now. Yours looks perfect. I think you're right about the low temp not melting the fat cap.

You are a mind-reader! Ronnie did just that last evening....Mr. Rabbit will be making an appearance in the Rabbit Cook-Off thread soon. Hopefully no other rabbits are going to raid the asparagus now.......

First asparagus of the season! Some of it is short because we have a rabbit situation. A certain bunny is going around eating just the tops of it so I'm trying to pick it before he gets to it. Roasted chicken and pasta to go with.

Well, I'm bummed and mystified. A week or so ago I started another jar of sauerkraut using Vivian Howard's recipe from This Will Make It Taste Good. I've made it once before and it turned out wonderfully. Looked at it today and it's beginning to mold . I can't think of anything that I did differently. I sterilized the jar in the dishwasher but maybe a bad guy was still lurking.......

Sunday is usually some iteration of chicken around here but now I want pizza!

Venison taco salads The rice was part of a care package that @suzilightningsent me a long while ago. Flavors of Rice-A-Roni that I don't see around here. I got such a kick out of it when I opened the package. I had no idea --I had mentioned somewhere around here that I couldn't find Spanish and Mexican style and she saw it. I still have a couple precious boxes left. We miss you Suzi! Had some frozen oysters, fish and crab that needed to be used so oysters and seafood chowder last night.

I wish I had gotten more, I did get two so I have one for next time. But, yes, it's good! Edit, and YES...I'm saving the picture of the can on my phone so hopefully I can find it next time I go.

Yay!!! I'm so glad for you :)

I definitely was going to do that until I couldn't find the part of the cucumber I thought I had.

I kinda forgot I had this book. 😳

Nice looking salad @btbyrd You, too, @Kim Shook. Tea salad, salmon and noodles the other night And last night I finally made a Banh Mi that Ronnie liked. Pork belly. And my beloved shishito peppers :)

And we have a SUCCESS! I quickly ran in to the Asian Market a few days ago --it was very busy and sadly, a ton of their coolers\freezers were broken so NO pork belly and hardly any meats. BUT, I snagged 4 banh mi breads for $1 and right next to the breads I found pork liver pate. Well, that cinched it. I had pork belly in the freezer so I thought I'd try one more time to make Ronnie like this lol. I'm no pate expert. This was like $2 something a can. But, I love it. Someone, somewhere around here told me to not skip the pate, and they were right. Pate, a mix of mayo and Sriracha, and pork belly that marinated overnight in fish sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, jalapeños, garlic and oil. Pickled carrots and radishes and cilantro on top I'm sad I only made enough pork for one sandwich for us to split --I want more!

I was going to say it looks more like celeriac.....
