What did you Bake/Cook Today?!?!?! :)

[Spamtar]

I made some hot dogs for my sister and her kid. Some nice uncurred all beef ones from Trader Joes, cut in half and friend in an iron skillet (adding a drop of sesame oil and dab of butter to the grill.

Served in a lightly warmed hot dog bun w an array of condiments for them to apply themselves.

Simple meal but nice to see the appreciation in their eyes as they asked for seconds.

It is a Pennsylvania Dutch tradition to have Pork and Sauerkraut on New Years for good luck. I have Pork/HotDogs/Sauerkraut in the oven for my family. I don't actually eat Pork or Hot Dogs, though.

I put some kale and a ham hock in the slow cooker this morning. I'll make some cornbread in a bit to go with it.

Yesterday I tried out a recipe from a cook book I've gotten as a Christmas present.
Veal stewed in raspberry beer with chicory and sour cherries (yes, I live in Belgium - special beer AND chicory!). It's resting now in the cool storage place and will be eaten tonight. I'm curious how it would taste. It smells delicious...

Did a quick stirfry with paper thin sliced pork marinated in sherry, dark soy and corn starch, straw mushrooms, baby corn, egg strips, green onions, light soy and sesame oil. It turned out not too bad.

Seafood Enchiladas with all the leftover crab, shrimp, scallops and lobster. I could have eaten the entire pan by myself. So good.

Not today, but for New Year's Day, I roasted a big ball of greasy, fatty, oozing lard. Supposedly it had one of these inside it somewhere:

I couldn't find it however. I think I'm going to have to go back and ask for a refund, or maybe turn the considerable remnants, which I saved as evidence of the virtual non-presence of poultry, into candles or something instead...

Garlic cheese grits. I seem to be turning into Paula Deen.

^ Just add a little butter y'all.

 

[miss fortune]

barbecue chicken pizza with green chilis... and onions on the half that wasn't mine

 

[Redbone]

Lumpia. Eating it now.

 

[Redbone]

Beaten and forced into making baked ziti tonight.

 

[strawberries]

i opened a tub of strawberry yoghurt - then artfully stuck a spoon in it.

That yogurt looks yummy, though. Not that runny, sugared-down crap we have here in the States.

 

[Redbone]

Couldn't stand it anymore...broke down and made some chocolate chip cookies. Hey--it's for medicinal purposes only!

Sometimes you just gotta. I made Rice Krispie treats tonight, and ate 3 fairly large ones. So much for not eating so much junk! But they were delicious, so I didn't feel too bad.

 

[Tamske]

Tried out another stew. Rabbit with celery, spinach and green herbs. Made yesterday, will be eaten tonight. The veal-chicory-sour cherries stew was really good... (yes, that present was a cook book about stews)

Edit: also very good.

 

[Tiltyred]

Deviled eggs

 

[Tamske]

There's a pie with apples and cream cheese filling in the oven right now

I know how popular a spectator-sport US bashing is, but I have to say I can get thick, non-sugared-down yogurt right here in my neighborhood. It is hardly scarce and [shHH] I'm in the States.


Today I baked my garlic-thyme trout again. I'm in gustatory heaven as I type.
