Ah, where to begin?

This is an unbelievable CSO sweet potato.  I ate the whole thing, including every bit of sweet potato skin.  Sage encrusted rib pork chop, the same.  Beautiful sauteed beet greens.  Beet greens that I would fain to serve more often -- but which I must buy with dirt tasting bulbs of stuff attached.

Edit:  oh, and served with the last of the somewhat less and less fizzy batch of iSi carbonated cherries.

 

Sometimes life is just a bowl of cherries.

We had corned beef and cabbage casserole tonight. It's got mustard, caraway seeds, black pepper, onions, celery, milk, Swiss cheese and calls for mostaccioli. Since I had none or even penne, I used fusilli. I also made popovers after ElsieD posted a gorgeous specimen the other day, fueling an insatiable craving. My were not as beautiful as her husband's, but I am not one to let perfection stand in the way of the very, very good. These were so good, in fact, that we each ate two popovers and chose them over the cheesecake I made last night.

I sous vide some pork chops and used the magic browning powder as mentioned by Okanagancook on them.  That stuff works like a charm.  I bought the dextrose at the local beer supply store and had to buy a 1 pound bag.  I'll have to find some other uses for it as it is more that I will ever use in this lifetime.  Served with "detox salad" purchased,  corn, and rice with quinoa.

I picked up some dextrose today.  This may be a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway - is that  by weight or volume?  I'm thinking volume but I'd like to be sure.  I may be trying it out on pork chops tonight.  Thanks!

@ElsieD, pursuant to your previous question: did you go by weight or by volume for the proportions? Are the powders' density so similar that it doesn't matter?

I used weight when I made my last batch.

I used volume, but will change it to weight as per Okanagancook.  I just weighed equal amounts of baking soda and dextrose and the baking soda is twice as heavy.  So, it seems I was light on the baking soda but I was still happy with the result.

...Lightly pickled onions and cukes from the garden.

Shelby, that rocks. I feared for your garden after you mentioned the surprise hail storm that seemed to decimate it.

:D  Thank you!!!  

 

I need to post pics from after the hailstorm and compare to now pics.  I am amazed at how well it bounced back.  It's definitely stunted, but it's trying.  The onions were ok anyway....except for the green parts and the cuke plants are kind of protected by a tree so they didn't get hurt too badly.  I'm just thrilled to have anything be edible out of there :)

Fried flounder tacos for me and a burrito for my husband. I used finely shredded cabbage, queso fresco and fresh pico de gallo with jalapenos only in mine. We also had refried pintos with cheddar because I like it better than queso fresco here. Mine was drenched in Taco Bell hot sauce. I had leftover Spanish rice in the freezer, and heated that up too. I still didn't have room for cheesecake, but my husband had a piece and requested another for lunch tomorrow. Not to worry, though. I had a piece the night I baked it. Quality control is important!

 

Oh, I also snacked on fresh cherries while cooking because I was starving before I ate.

These are chicken leg quarters that have been boned out to form skin-on cutlets. They were pan fried in a mixture of butter and olive oil, garlic powder, salt & pepper. When just about done, a big dash of cream sherry was added and reduced, followed by a bit more butter to form a pan sauce for plating. Served with potatoes au gratin and a hot house tomato salad.

Pork tenderloin, seasoned with homemade 5 spice powder and grilled. Pepper and onion relish with rice vinegar , chili-garlic sauce, brown sugar and garlic dressing. With Trader Joes's brown rice medley that was recommended on the Trader Joe's thread. I was at Trader Joe's in Syracuse this week, stocking up on pine nuts and olive oil for my yearly garlic scape-basil pesto marathon (it will go in the freezer in ice cube trays. We've almost finished last years production.) and decided to try this. We both liked it a lot. Also a pitifully small amount of sugar snap peas because I got very poor germination this year. And, of course, salad.

Cauliflower pan roasted with bacon drippings.  My 12 inch cast iron skillet accommodates the whole cauliflower head nicely.

Five hour duck.  Skin got torn off the breast during the last flip but DH who prefers breast meat does not like the skin anyway.
