What's Cooking?

[MOPanfisher]

Tonight's Hillbilly cuisine, 3 way burgers.  Ground venisison, pork sausage, and hamburger.  Added a package of garlic & herb soup mix, some shredded cheese from a big bag, a little steak rub I found in the spice cabinet, a shake of worchersurshershire sauce and a shake or two of soy sauce.  Came out just rigth, juicy and tender.  A few slices of a purple cherokee mater that was hiding amongst the weeds, and a sliced red onion.  I have to enjoy my food this week, Friday is my first colonoscopy, yeach me.  What a PITA this is gonna be.

Great burgers!

The medical procedure is not that bad if they put you under. Hope your results were as good as mine.

I had venison tonight, sorry no pics though.  Loins with some S&P, and wrapped.in bacon, grilled to a beautiful.mdoum rare.  Honestly it needed a little more kick of some kind.  Sautéed Bolete mushrooms from my yard, gave 2 more wal mart sacks of them to friends and he has been dehydrating them but saved enough to Sautee for a topping on the loin. Friends did the loin and shooms justice.  Though the blueberry sauce intrigues me.

Fruit sauces for meat (duck, goose, deer, armadillo) need to be a gastrique - a blend of sweet and sour/tart - to complement the fat/blood taste. The packaged orange sauce that comes with frozen ducks is vile, but the hand made original is fantastic. The difference is the kind and amount of acid. Blueberries fit the profile perfectly, provided you balance them.

Sorry. Pontificating again.

     Nothing like grilled burgers,

MoPanfisher. Had my first one eight years ago. Next one in two years. It isn't a pain in the rear. The prep work will have things going real well . The rest of it is a breeze and you won't know anything is going on. Glad you are doing this. They say an ounce of prevention goes along ways. After seeing some folks going through their chemo and radiation when my bride did.  It always made me wonder if early screening would of made a difference for some?

The dinner I made last night was a loser. I used a new to me recipe to make a Pasta Carbonara. It was boring, bland and went in the trash.

Tonight I experimented. I stirred together shredded hash brown potatoes (the come partially cooked), shredded cheddar jack, sauteed onion and green pepper, cubed ham, cream, and a Penzys herb blend called Sunny Paris. I added salt and pepper, of course, and baked it in a greased casserole dish at 350.  Would you call that a frittata, a strata, or a crustless quiche?

Tasty breakfast for dinner meal!

RPS I love it when you can take a basic idea/recipe and expirament, some thing I have done that with have been superb, some have ended up with the dogs walking away.  The bad part is I never quite remember what I did on the good ones. 

Even my oncologist said the colonoscopy isn't bad once you get past the prep.  Heck after the bine marrow transplant and chemo from last year, heck how bad can it be.  Lol maybe I will post up a running commentary on how the prep is going. At the very least I will try to pst a pic if me enjoying the prep-drink just for JoeD.

Got one last swim in yesterday. Nice pool side dinner of some 99cent a pound chicken quarters grilled with S&P, Garam Masala, and some Greek Yogurt, Garlic, Cilantro, lime sauce to cut the spice. Apple Walnut salad with a Dijon Mustard Vinagrette to go with.

Pasta Carbonara is pretty easy. Fry bacon. Cook Rigatoni. Half n Half and Butter, garlic, S&P, maybe some red pepper or what you like. Bring half n half butter & spices to a hard boil. Add noodles and bacon and some parm to thicken. Add an egg or two, stir qickly, serve.

Just don't plan on being more than 50 steps from a bathroom once your magic shake kicks in. The rest is pretty uneventful. The best part can be your first meal after your procedure. You feel like you can eat anything without consequence.

My dr. Said he went to a buffet after his colonoscopy.  Good plan I might get my money's worth then. Clear liquids for like 24 hrs prior, bleh, hope you fellers start posting some good looking photos of food starting thursday, I will live vicariously though them for a few hours.

Gavin I would eat that sauce on just about anything.
