What did you have for dinner? -Part dois

Homemade cheese an onion bisquits. Who here knows how to cook an excellent meal from scratch?
 
Last night:

Beef Brisket My Way Recipe - Allrecipes.com

Done in the oven, it's a great slow cook recipe. I add little red potatoes with the carrots and celery for the last two hours.

I love brisket, and the other large cuts (pot roasts, flanken, etc) that like slow cooking. I make a large one and it's good for several meals and/or sandwiches.

That's what I do as well. It's very economical and tastes even better as leftovers. :)
 
Chicken pot pie. Salad, italian dressing and a piece of sea salt bread.

Good stuff.

Lately, I"ve been really into those big, cheap, cuts of meat. Last week I made Beef Burginion (sp?) out of hunk of chuck, and now I'm using the leftover gravy (I purposely added extra wine and beef stock) for chicken marsala. Next week, I'm gonna buy a pork shoulder and roast it for pernil

Sounds really good! I like making new meals out of left overs myself.

That recipe sounds really tasty! Have you made it before?
 
You know, I've never had brisket before. I have had ostrich jerky, though.

Yes. Several times. It's pretty easy and foolproof

I simplified the recipe a little. I just make a paste of garlic, (lots of) salt, pepper, oregano and a little cumin and rub it all over the pork 24 hours before cooking it.

Itr's a big hunk of meat, so I invite the family over for a meal when I make it. Then I use the leftovers to make cubanos. A bunch of the pork, a slice of ham, cheese, and pickle with some mustard

Black bean burger with an over-easy egg. Tabasco, salt, pepper, ketchup to taste.

Last night I had pinto beans cooked with just ham hocks and salt for flavoring and corn bread cooked in a cast iron skillet.
 
I went butter crazy....

Did a strip steak with melted gorgonzola butter and then corn on the cob with an herb butter spread.

I really need to start getting good quality steak though.
 
I had breakfast for dinner .... waffles, honey butter and fruit with yogurt on the side and a cup of coffee.

Yummy. Tonight I had a Double Down Combo at KFC:)
 
Ground turkey patty. Baked tater. Pudding cup with whipped cream for snack afterwards.
 
Soft shell tacos - A quick and easy meal that was ideal for trying out the habenero hot sauce I made up this evening. None of that store bought taco seasoning crap though, it's easy enough to whip up your own taco seasoning on the fly, and it is much tastier (for those wondering I use cumin, chili powder, cayenne powder, and garlic powder)

The hot sauce was made from peppers I grew in my sun room container garden over the summer and half way into the - not really a season in Florida - fall as well I suppose. It took forever for them to fruit, but they finally did, and they have produced a very respectable batch of peppers, and they are loaded with fruit in various stages of ripening, and still flowering prolifically - so another 1.5 months of peppers to go (who knows if there are no hard freezes maybe they might keep going over the winter).

The hot sauce is a mango and tamarind based habenero sauce with cilantro and seasonings (ginger, and a bit of fresh ground allspice and a dash of nutmeg). This one was not intended to be a pure scorching hot sauce, but rather a flavor sauce with a little heat to back it up; intended to be shared with friends, and as a gauge to see how potent the peppers are. The next one in a few weeks after I harvest some more peppers will be the concentrated scream-when-you-take-a-dump-the-next-day hot sauce.

That looks damn good, but I am upset you only posted the softcore food porn version of the meal.. It would be so much better if you flashed us some of that pink ya know :)
 
I made some skillet enchiladas.I basically stuck some butter in the pan. Toasted one side of a couple of corn tortillas. I then brushed some of my favorite canned enchilada sauce to the toasted side, added some cheese, olive tapenade , dice onion, and folded the corn tortillia in half and toasted both sides until brown and cheese melted and I brushed both sides with the enchilada sauce.

our last Giants tailgate I was churning out NY strip Tacos mexicanos.....


I sliced NY Strip into... strips, and marinated them ina chipotle lime marinade I make, Grilled them quickly with some adobo, placed them on a grilled corn/flour mixed tortilla I get from a taquaria around here, Added home made pico de gallo, cilantro, onion, then grated some manchego cheese..... and a squeeze of lime.


When I make enchiladas, I use NM green chile sent to me from NM.

I bought a turkey breast the other day and looked on line how to debone it. I did that (skinned it, too) and marinated the bigger piece in lemon olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder and oregano for about 6 hours....then roasted it at 325 degrees for about 1-1/2 hours using a meat thermometer ('cause I always overcook turkey). It was delish. The bones and the smaller piece of breast meat? I made a big pot of soup with leeks, carrots, celery, turkey and barley. Supper tomorrow with grilled cheese sangies.
