What did you have for dinner?

Subway - Eat Fresh!

I've never eaten at subway, but my husband calls it "Slimeway".
He used to eat there when he was younger and he says the meat is slimy.
 
Alright, here's the pork I had the other night I was talking about. Unfortunantly didn't see Rev's recipe in time, though once I did I tried to use a few things from that.

Was using the oven to bake the loin (going to try to use a grill next time I do a pork loin). I rubbed the meat with a basic little salt/pepper/paprika mix. Then I filled the dish that I was going to put them in a little ways up with Root Beer. Put the pork in, put a few holes in it, let it marinade before flipping it over for a little longer marinading, and then into the oven.

I used the root beer as well to make a BBQ glaze for it, mixing it with Ketchup, some orange and lemon juice, molasses and honey, and a few different spices. Boiled it then simmered for a while, then put it in the fridge to thicken a bit.

Pulled the pork out after about 30 minutes and dumped the majority of the root beer and spread some of the BBQ sauce over it. Also followed a bit of Rev's theory and spread some honey, ketchup, and mustard over the top as well to help it glaze.

Once it all came out it was smelling wonderful. Cut it thin and put it on some deli buns. We wanted a quick simple side so threw in some waffle fries we happened to have in the freezer. Used the remaining BBQ sauce I made (it was still rather runny, I don't think its going to fully thicken up) to cover the meat with once it went on the bun.

It was REALLY good, I was rather shocked. The root beer taste really shone through and was surprisingly VERY good with the pork. The BBQ was more glaze than a real sauce, and was very sweet and added a lot to it.

Here's the picture (Got my GF to take it. She jokingly scolded me for the horrible ziti picture I took. I told her not all of us were photo majors.)

Those potatos look very tasty. I admire Americans and their foods.
 
Over the weekend I had a caesar salad with grilled turkey and cheese sandwiches one night. Another night, I had spaghetti made with ground turkey. And last night I had soba noodles with zuccini, carrots, onions, mushrooms, and cabbage.
 
Yes it does. I have never baked a ham without using coca-cola in the glaze and basting process. Have no idea why it works so well, but it just does.

I had done a coca-cola flavored thing with pork chops before, and it was tastey, but I didn't really taste the soda so much as it was just very sweet. Which is why I was surprised just how much of the root beer taste showed through in the loin
 
Today is quick and easy crockpot cooking. Put some cream of mushroom soup in the bottom of the crockpot, added the pork roast, topped with Emerils' chicken seasoning and the rest of the cream of mushroom soup.

Turned on the crockpot this morning and walked away. It's beginning to smell really good in the house.

I'll make gravy and mashed potatoes tonight, a veggie and some chunked cantaloupe.

you bite into a good charred rare burger, and you will risk all the samonella in the world for the next one. :thumbs:

I'm right there with you. It looks like you might like yours a little bit more on the raw side than I do, but it's close. My dad used to take a pinch of raw burger and pop it in his mouth whenever Mom was cooking with it. ;)


Hey--That pork roast turned out quite lovely. I think I'm gonna give the credit to Emeril. That Chicken rub is pretty great. My gravy was mouth watering. Really. And the veggie? That ended up being some freshly canned green beans out of a friends garden.....yummm

Everything was delicious!

I use it on chicken and on pork. :lol:


I'm going to throw a beef roast in the slow cooker tomorrow morning (or maybe Thursday) before I go to work. On work days I usually just throw some french onion soup on it and let it cook but if you have a quick & easy (quick and easy both carry the same high priority for work days) I'm willing to try something new.

Any suggestions?





:)
