What's on the stove, oven, or crockpot today?

[glenn57]

well I'm making a chicken hotdish today...   colored peppers, onions and some jalapenos..  but instead of pasta I'm using Reb's favorite veggie's!!!   a blend of green and yellow bean with some baby carrots.. I have it simmering away now and it looks and smells good!!!   

i'm certain when he reads this he'll be hell bent on his way to your house Mike!!!!!!!!!!

todays lunch will be leftover chili.......and chow mein fer supper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mike89]

yes he will!!  that sounds good too Glenn!!   

[glenn57]

Chow mein tonight.

[mike89]

had a pound of breakfast sausage and decided to make a scrambled eggs for wraps...  onion's, peppers, mushrooms, seasonings, some garlic, cheese and a bunch of eggs..  dang that tastes good!!  going to be lunch today!! 

[LPS]

Darn if that doesn't sound good.

tri tip in crock pot?   

Ayup. Scrumptious. 6 hrs on low. Fell apart.  You don't like tri-tips? 

Love them.  Santa maria style medium rare.   Hate to see what you would do to a rib roast..... 

[Rebel SS]

?!?? It WAS med rare.  Santa Maria...always with the fancy names. No, it was cooked the El crocko-maceta way. 
At least I didn't boil it in a bag! It came out med-rare, full of taste, and basically fell apart... What more do you want?

[mike89]

never heard of that either..  must be a Calif. thing....

[Rebel SS]

No stove or cork-pot involved. Thick braunschweiger sandwich, on butter slathered white bakery bread, topped with onyum slices. Cottage cheese with chives, all washed down with a big glass of cold milk.  *burp*   
Then out to the red rocket for some chilly leaf-grinding........

[LPS]

Haven't had braunschweiger for awhile.  I like with mayo and dill pickle slices.  The onion sounds good too.   

SO I did a taste test with Hellmans Mayo, Miracle Whip, and Avocado Mayo the other day that I found interesting.  The Hellmans of course was the most mild.  Then I was surprised at this.  The Miracle Whip had less kick to it than the Avocado Mayo did.  SO there is 3 levels of Mayo type stuff now.  I do like the Avocado Mayo best I think. 

[Rebel SS]

Ya, the avacodo mayo ain't bad. In fact, I finished the bottle of it the other day...! I slather it on cotto salami slices and have a pile o' sour cream 'n chives chippers to round it out.
Well, now it's misting out, 49*, and blowing leaves good....dang. O well, out we go...rains never bothered me.Just makes ya tougher. Best time in the world to fish.

did ya get the Aldi's stuff??   I like that one!!   

[mike89]

when we at Cub's I noticed a different brand of liquid smoke..  made by colgin, and this was mesquite!!  I'll be trying it soon I hope!!  and they other wood flavors too.. 

[Rebel SS]

Keep in mind mesquite can be bitter as heck......

[mike89]

used it for smoking meats for years and yes it can, but it sure is good done right!!! 

[Rebel SS]

Beef stroganoff, buttered cannonballs, and fresh bakery rolls. Didn't have any beef tips; used hamburger instead, with lotsa m'rooms, sour cream, and egg noodles.
Darned tasty. Even enjoyed my new centerpice/caddy! Amazing what ya can make with a table saw from leftover wood, some stain, and a few pieces of wrought iron! 

[glenn57]

Looks good Reb! we use burger all the time also. Thing we add some sort of cream of soup to???

We had fried boneless norderns and buttered noodles.

[LPS]

SO I thought I would try to order a half hog to pick up whilst hunting next week and bring it home.  This is down in hog country too.  The butcher I know who is a great guy said there is no way he could have one ready for me by then.  Completely swamped with so much work.  He said he may never catch up with his list of critters to butcher.  Would be about $225 - $250 so the price is right where it should be.  Darn...

[glenn57]

Pull so strings!! Use all that clout you have. Hell, threaten to bring Reb with. tell the butcher Reb will wear his Halloween costume.

[Rebel SS]

Yeah, I'll give him "some help" to get that pigger ready for Barry...

[Rebel SS]

It looks to be in the 30's for Halloween...maybe that'll freeze up those candy-beggin' street urchins... Anywho, methinks I'll make a big pot o' 'tato and kielbasa soop with chives to have and freeze some containers of...

[mike89]

I have a nice eye of round roast going, Jim wants some roast beef and the fixins before he has surgery next week..
