Dinner 2024

[Okanagancook]

Maybe try bending the holder?

[Senior Sea Kayaker]

I made up a small batch of shepherd's pie yesterday, split it into 3 portions, and had one for dinner.

Ground lamb, mushrooms, onion, carrots, peas and herbs with just enough of a Habanero pepper to know it's there but not overpowering.

Covered with colcannon instead of plain mashed potatoes.

Yeah, that’s a much more open vee shape than I recall from when my mother got a “taco making” set in the late ‘70s, the sides were maybe an inch apart at the top of the shell. Maybe you, or Charlie, could bend them to be more closed? Unless they’re stainless steel, I suspect that whatever plating is on them would crack and peel, so maybe not a great idea.

I tried to bend them but when I did, the spacing between them wasn't even on both sides so I bent them back.  Since I don't really have anything to lose, I could try again.  When I ordered them, I looked for ones like i remembered but didn't see any.  PS wouldn't you know? When I looked again just now, I did see some but they didn't have handles so I'd need to use tongs to take them out.  Considering how much oil it takes to submerge them, I will just stick to frying them flat.

Thick pork loin chops, slow cooked with carrots, potatoes and spinach in my new Ninja Possible Cooker Pro.  My review of the cooker is here: https://forums.egullet.org/topic/167168-ninja-possible-cooker-pro/

The meat was tender but dry, as expected with loin cuts.

 

The iPot never got hot enough on low.  After 8 hours things were still uncooked.  Use Hi if you are going to try it.  And use shoulder or butt.

@mgaretz

 

thank you ,

 

Im thinking of using ' country pork ribs '

 

but I can also get 2 - 3 lbs of butt.

Made some pulled pork in the indoor smoker. Came out nice (it could've cooked for longer, but there's a limit to how late I push off dinnertime!)

Surprisingly good and easy dinner, considering I've been spending the last few days whinging about how I no longer want to cook or eat.

 

I started with chopped slices of smoked pancetta from the Northern Waters Smokehaus, a local favorite (this stuff has been in the freezer for weeks). Cooked until it had started to brown and render its fat, then added chunks of asparagus and spattered all over the stove. I persevered, and when the asparagus had started to cook slightly added the contents of a can of Great Northern Beans.

 

 

Added enough of the canning liquid to get the sauce consistency I wanted, then threw in the basil that's started dying since I repotted it.

 

 

Delicious. First time I've used that stainless steel skillet in quite some time. And yes, I'm still using my black spatula.

I added some fresh ground Pasilla de Oaxaca, a splash of good quality balsamic vinegar, and a handful of baby spinach leaves ... a simple, quick, and easy to prepare dinner. Plus a 3 - 4 inch sized piece of the local bakery's sourdough baguette, as well.
