Had my MIL over to dinner the other night. Table set:
Sous vide pork roast:
Absolutely perfect. It was so moist that it positively glistened when I carved it. MIL was really impressed. Cranberry sauce for the pork:
Braised red cabbage and “German” green beans:
This was my usual red cabbage except that someone in one of the threads mentioned adding Dijon mustard to theirs. I tried it and it was a wonderful improvement to the recipe. The beans are from a recipe that a girl friend that I worked with when we got married in 1982 gave me. I worked at a bridal shop and my co-workers gave me a recipe/ingredient shower and she brought these. They have vinegar and bacon and frenched green beans. Not sure why they were called “German”, but I’ve made them for years. Cheese noodles:
Cornbread waffles:
Plated:
Dessert was the cheating-est Victoria Sponge EVER:
Cake mix, canned frosting, and a jar of Kirkland strawberry preserves. I wouldn't DARE put it in the sweets thread, but it was delicious:
😊
