Pan Seared Pork Chops with Sautéed Mushrooms and Mushroom and Green Pea Jasmine Rice

Really more of a snack, but this was my lunch today: Roasted Turkey Breast and Pepper Jack Cheese with Mayo and Black Pepper in a Small Croissant

Banana Nut Bread (made with Walnuts)

Instant Pot Country Captain and Jasmine Rice

Yes, that is what we did. I was just expecting one potato shell, with crispy skin, cut into four pieces and loaded with the cheese and bacon, instead of two halved WHOLE baked potatoes, with non-crispy skin.

Okay, this was weird! After a morning of birding with our Audubon group in Galveston Island State Park, several of us headed for lunch at Nate’s in Jamaica Beach. I wasn’t feeling terribly hungry, so thought I would just order an appetizer. I ordered the Potato Skins (4 pieces). This is what I got! Three pieces came home in a to go box. Not sure what I am going to do with them!

Haven’t had much of an appetite this week, but today I got in the mood for a sandwich and some chips! Oven Roasted Turkey, Pepper Jack Cheese and Horseradish Mustard on Rye. Corn Tortilla Chips not shown. The sandwich was wrapped in a damp paper towel and then nuked on a low power, just long enough to take the chill off the frozen bread and to melt the cheese. Hit the spot!

Crispy Pork Carnitas Taco with Onion, Cilantro and Salsa Verde - one of two!

Yeah, keeping an inventory has really helped me. I have the list on my iPad, try to update it every week or so, and print out a copy that I hang in the kitchen to refer to when meal planning. Edited to add: The pork butt roast is out and thawing. Going into the instant pot later for carnitas tonight! Corn tortilla tacos with crispy carnitas, onion, cilantro and salsa verde!

I use the water displacement method to remove the air from the package, so no real pressure put on the product. https://anovaculinary.com/sous-vide-water-displacement-method/

No, it maintained the same shape as when it was formed.

Serious Answer: What?

I had been craving a burger, so... 1/4 lb. Ground Chuck Burger (Sous Vide at 129F for an hour; seared on the grill) on a toasted Ciabatta Roll with Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Mustard and Mayo. Very satisfying!
