Good morning from Shelby's House of Covid 🙃.  Ronnie is slowly getting better....I should be feeling better by Christmas Day--I'm a few days behind him.  I've been making mostly breakfast or something equally as easy for dinners. However, my mom started a tradition a long time ago of making soup for the first day of winter.  So, chicken and noodles it was for us.

Last night I made Canadian bacon and mushroom pizza with a salad.  After having like a 3 hour nap lol.

I'd love your recipe for adobo. There are so many variations if one just does a search.

 

 

I don't use a recipe anymore, but this one is similar to what I usually do. I use pork shoulder steaks, usually use more vinegar than soy sauce and brown sugar instead of white, which I add at the end of cooking. My total cooking time is usually only about an hour, I don't even bother covering the pan at times but just let it gently simmer and turn it every 15 mins or so. It's a simple dish, but there really are a lot of variations! 🙂

The recipe sounds good and with your adaptations it sounds even better. It does have two teaspoons of sugar at the end that it does not account for. Do you put in additional sugar or just ignore the discrepancy?

In that recipe, the sugar goes in with all the other ingredients at the start of braising, right after browning the meat. I put it in toward the end of cooking because it's easier to judge the amount required at that point. I add sugar 'to taste', I'm sure you know what I mean!  🙂

Beautiful spread @Duvel Did you make the pain d'epices? Seems you have access to great products. I've not had a good mousse in a while. I saw Grand Marnier and went to chocolate. Have you ever used Sabra in desserts. Israeli orange chocolate liqueur

The pain d'épices comes from a recent trip to Belgium. I have made it once, so I know my limits 😉

 

Thanks for pointing me to Sabra - I haven’t had that one, so I‘ll be on the lookout. Grand Marnier is my „go to“, as it is one of the few liquors my parents stock …

I have only used it in cooking - not for sipping. I am easily seduced by glass bottles which also explains the Slivovitz brandy and Maraska Cherry wine I used to have in my pantry  https://www.seriouseats.com/what-is-slivovitz-best-brands-plum-brandy-marska-navip-rudolf-jelinek  https://www.idrinkkosher.com/wines/Maraska-Cherry-Wine-w2933459dv?

I made the Chile Sauce today, that Moe likes to have with his Christmas Eve Tourtiere.
771364891_ChileSauceDecember23rd20221.thumb.jpg.38a481643a310ab0a64420c7c285b2b3.jpg
Processed 6 small jars in a hot water bath. And there is enough left over to have with dinner tonight.
It has been our tradition for close to 50 years to have Tourtiere on Christmas Eve,
but when Moe knew I was making the chile sauce today he kind of suggested that maybe I could make the pie today too.
So I guess we are deviating from tradition tonight.
Actually we broke tradition last year as well. Not by choice.
It was a year ago today that I was in the car accident and wasn't able to make Christmas eve dinner.
I finally got around to making Moe a Tourtiere mid January.

I kept it simple tonight  and we had fries with the Tourtiere. 
I had gravy on mine and

Now I just have to figure out what I want to make for Christmas Eve dinner.

Lovely meal as always. I have only had tourtiere once from  a Canadian across the street neighbor. Certainly a filling dish but tasty. We'd bonded over our tomato growing efforts well and there was the FBI visit bout his security clearance...

 

I must commend you on your recovery from that horrific accident. I am sure it took a lot of effort.

 

Happy Holidays..

I made a batch of Momofuku ranch to go with the fourth dinner from a lovely sous vide pork loin.  Brussels' sprouts and sweet potato on the side.  Milk and oatmeal-walnut cookies to finish.

Beef kidneys have been in short supply all over this small city! Finally, a small meat store, Tender Cuts, got a shipment in on Wed. I grabbed 3 and used 2 to make a Steak and Kidney pie for us, and 2 for a friend for Christmas. Ray's the only one in his family who enjoys this, so he can eat one and put the other in the freezer.

Dec 21 is Winter Solstice, and冬至 (dōngzhì) in China. My Mom always made tang yuen, the savoury version. That was one of her favourite dishes. I felt her hands guiding mine as I made the glutinous rice dumplings, cut up the daikon, etc. I had these lovely dried whole shrimp, a gift from my sister in Vancouver, some lap cheung, and "fresh" shrimp. Love to dip the dumplings in a  mixture of soy sauce, chili oil, and black pepper. Those dumplings really stick to your ribs!

When I picked up the beef kidneys, I spied a boneless lamb shoulder. That lamb followed me home and into my oven for a low and slow roast. It was marinated with whole grain dijon mustard and fresh rosemary.

Used the leftover lamb to make Scotch Broth for lunch tomorrow!

@Duvel, beautiful looking spread - where to even start! That foie looks perfect and I bet is gorgeous with the pain depices. 
 

Sauternes jelly? Yes please!
 

The main looks right up my street - proper wintery fare, the sour cream seems a great addition. 
 

Tell us more about the Balearic red though - which island/grape? Not sure I’ve had much wine from this part of the world. 
 

You have a very lucky family - happy Christmas!

I had not pre-planned anything except to stock up on enough food to get by if we got froze in for the next few days.  I got stuff to make chili fot hot dogs which we had for lunch today.  I also got a rib roast and a ham. i cooked the ham for dinner and while it was cooking I looked around for something to go with it and only found some canned green beans left unused for Thanksgiving.  They tasted pretty bland so I added a couple spoonfuls of cream of mushroom soup, a sprinkle of onion soup powder and a few croutons and heated them in the  oven with the ham.  I tossed a salad to finish it all off.  I will probably do the rib roast tomorrow and we will have around a week of leftover.

My husband requested roast beef, cooked it today and have two more dinners leftover for him. He prefers his beef not too rare, he was happy with this. We had baked yams and steamed broccolini (I had some vegan meatballs).

Hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas eve / day with family and friends.

Just the two of us tonight. I had picked up a .5 kg marinated AAA rib eye steak at Safeway. It was $10.00 off a $25.00 piece of meat.

Tossed onto a cold cast iron, then finished in the oven.
I had an Express order from Superstore. I had ordered a 10 lb bag of taters, and got a 20lb bag! Took most to the son's and I kept a few and make scalloped taters. Carrots and sauteed pea shoots added colour and veg requirement;-)

Dessert was small slice of mincemeat pie from the 6" pie I made yesterday, with vanilla ice-cream!
