And I was thinking Germany had cheap pork meat ... is this from a regular butcher/supermarket ? It definitely looks good, but(t) for that price I‘d probably only get roadkill here 😉

Yes, regular grocery store. I often find good pork prices at this store.

I also get the pork butt at such a reduced price from Ralphs - A Kroger market. In my area which is heavy with seniors who got stuck in the "fat is bad for you" mantra so it gets marked down frequently. Your piece sure looked nice and "meaty"..

Some recent meals.....

 

Duo of cheese ravs and tortellini - marinara, cream, arugula, shrimp
 

 

 

Pan seared monkfish, smashed pot, kale g&o

 

 

Pork katsu, rice, blistered shisitos, kikkoman tonkatsu sc. 

 

 

 

Grilled lamb merguez by D'Artagnan (local super carries a few other varieties that I didn't notice until now) over Moroccan spiced quinoa w chickpeas, walnuts and dried cranberries.  Nice sweet and savory play.  The qlty of the sausage is great.  Looking frwd to trying the others. 

 

 

 

The girls saw deep fried oreo's on tv and have been demanding them since.....I never had them before.....pretty damn good over vanilla bean ic : )

Thank you!  Nothing complicated - AP flour, baking powder, sugar and salt, eggs, oil.

Bangers (actually handmade andouille and currywurst sausages from Funkalicious Market and Deli) and mash with onion gravy, with a side of steamed rapini with butter and umeboshi vinegar.

Dinner was messed up last night.  The original plan was to get sushi take-out since that is my niece's favorite food and she returned to college today, but the restaurant was unexpectedly closed.  So, then I decided to cook dinner, but right as I went in to the kitchen, the power went out!  We finally got it back a few hours later, and by then everyone was starving, the house was cold, and it was too late to cook the meal I had planned.  So niece got banana pancakes and bacon, nephew got quick ground beef tacos and black beans from the freezer, and I made a simple tomato-ricotta pasta for my sister, my husband and me.

Nice. I think the merguez is the best of the D'artagnan sausages. A few of the others fall flat.

Oh yea? Do you remember which?  I think they also had venison, andouille and maybe duck.

I've not had great luck with duck & armagnac, venison or any of the chicken sausages. Andouille is passable, and the big French garlic is also okay.

The other side of that coin is that I really like their Jambon de Bayonne, Jamon, and Mangalica.

We get pork butt maybe 2-3 times a year at that price. But I can get it at $1.49 nearly every other week. I have a three-pound bag of roasted pork shoulder, cubed, in the freezer now, and another six-pound butt in the freezer from the last 99-cent sale.

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Can of Progresso New England clam chowder.  It is 3:00 am and I finished my taxes.

 

[CantCookStillTry]

I cooked 😮. Sorta. I made some beef pucks, smashed them on the BBQ and assembled with american cheese, onion, mustard & ketchup. It's a start. Kids happy not to have a freezer cleaner meal at least. 

 

[liuzhou]

Garlicky clams with spaghetti. Not the classic recipe. I used beer instead of wine. A bit of chilli flakes, salt and black pepper and that was it. Could have used some parsley or coriander leaf, but I didn't have any. It was fine!

 

 

[scamhi]

grilled chicken again.

this time with salsa verde and greek salad.

left over langhe nebbiolo in the glass

Interesting - would you make it again had you had wine on hand?

I did/do have wine on hand. It was a deliberate choice to use beer this time. It's something I do from time to time for a change.
