@gfweb – what a gorgeous sear you’ve gotten on those vegetables!

 

I used that good rye bread to make corned beef sandwiches.  I steamed the bread, meat, and cheese combo and added some slaw and Russian dressing that I made:

Then grilled in butter:

And served with more slaw, mac and cheese and a salad:

Sometimes you just want a plain old iceberg salad 😊.

I've had half a jar of kraut from last summer in the fridge forever. I'm going to get corned beef and swiss cheese tomorrow, and will make a loaf of GF (sadly, not rye, but I guess I could flavor it with caraway!) bread. Reubens are in my future.

Charlie had a pretty simple request for dinner tonight: steak, asparagus and mac n cheese.

The mac and cheese box said to use 3T. of butter and 2T. of milk.  That is less than usual.  The only difference was the one we had today was gluten free so it didn't use wheat flour in the pasta, and the serving was ten calories less.   We could not tell any difference.

French onion soup, garlic crouton and gruyere.

Caramelizing 6 onions took awhile, started at 3:00 so we could eat by 5:30.

Ah a comforting smell I could have used for inspiration today. Beautiful!

My grandma was not Cornish" pasties.   

Except for not being round, your pastie recipe sounds like it's from Butte, Montana, also. They look delicious as does your hot beef sandwich.   Are you using The Butte, Montana Centennial cookbook?

Is that rou jia mo?

 

No. It's a regular burger, but in the type of bun used for RouJiamo. RouJiamo would never have raw vegetables.

What are the red specks in the top picture? By the way, it looks delicious.

 

I'm not sure. I think they must be stray bits of tomato or uncooked beef. They were quite rare. I can't check. I ate them. But definitely not spices. I would remember putting any spices in the mix.

Busy day yesterday, as I decided to make meatballs...

I also figured lemme roast them at high heat instead of pan frying them, a technique I'd not tried before...

But which worked out quite nicely.  A big pot of sauce, which also had some Italian sausages in it, and then the meatballs added to braise for a while.

Dinner...

Fusilli with Sunday gravy, sausages and meatballs.  As @Franci mentioned somewhere, this is one of the few instances where the sauce can go on top of the pasta, though I did toss the pasta with a tiny bit of sauce before plating it. And yeah - sorta heretical to serve it as one course, but you know. don't tell

This  is the recipe I used.    You really don't want to know about the gravy, but since we're among friends, I combined some leftover roast chicken gravy, some veal broth used for cooking barley, additional veal fond, a splash of Kitchen Bouquet for color.    Surprisingly, it was quite convincing.
