I realize it may be thread drift, but when I am in town/not working we enjoy a nice breakfast together. We do not eat breakfast together any other day of the week. Wife gets 100% of credit here.
Toast schmeared with an avocado paste, topped with a softish poached egg and shallot rings pickled in red wine vinegar. With bacon and juice and coffee. Followed by scone, muffin, and bagel pieces. Brad

I just got an Email from my used to be next door neighbour from the U.S.! He & his wife moved here from Wyoming & moved back down to Montana. Two of the states I hope to visit again. 

He said he misses our 2 Thanksgivings a year! So do we!

This weekend, the huge Greek Orthodox Church in town held its annual “Lebanese Dinner.” For about 4,000 or so folks. The members start making stuff in August by hand, including the baklava. We buy 5 tickets every year and do carry out. We had the family over and feasted on the variety of food and treats. Brad

I've roasted the busted up turkey carcass with rough cut veggies & just dumped it all in the stockpot. 

It'll simmer for 3 or 4 hours, strain & start making soup. Add back all fresh veggies, herbs & some turkey.

Terry made a spinach salad & there's rolls from yesterday.

We gave away a ton of turkey & still have lots left over!

"I've roasted the busted up turkey carcass with rough cut veggies & just dumped it all in the stockpot. "

Yeah, and when you're not looking, I have a compulsion to toss in a couple of handfuls of barley.

bubbalouie - Posted - 10/11/2021:  15:02:50

I have a pkg. of that Dan d Pak soup mix with a half dozen kinds of pulses in it. One of those is pearl barley. I'm going to throw in some small pasta shells too!

Shell pasta needs any one of several cheese sauces and a fine dice Anaheim pepper for zip.
I'd put flat pasta (fettucini, etc) in soup.
Even better is to roll the pasta beer mat thick then add poultry seasoning to 1/2 the strip and fold and roll again 3X to trap the seasoning. Then cut the fettucini.

Brian T - Posted - 10/11/2021:  18:36:19

I buy the cheeses or the cheese sauces in bulk, like a pound at a time.
I can cook any amount of pasta that I want and then sauce it up as gooey as I like.
A lot cheaper than opening a bunch of Krapft KD mac & cheese.

Try a pot full of spaghettini with Alfredo chees sauce.

Wichita is full of Lebanese restaurants.  And, Lebanese heritage folks own many of eateries in town, of all cultures of food. And, a huge number of our medical profession is Lebanese.  I grew up in a neighborhood where many early immigrants called their first  humble homes in America.  Educational priorities and hard work has lifted the Lebanese to owners, huge realistate investors , and surgeons etc.  Brad

I made baked stuffed jalapenos from the garden with cream cheese and pepperoni. I had to pick and prepare them with latex gloves they were so hot.

Brian T - Posted - 10/12/2021:  18:37:21

I prefer stuffed Ananheim peppers if I need zip.
Otherwise, Tabasco Jalapeno goop gives me the control really like. Savory without the heat.
When I run low, I usually have 3-4 bottles at a time on my grocery list.

Now, what should I do with them?

Terry, when I was a kid and came home from school and mom said she maid pot roast, I would just about cry cuz I hated pot roast and thought it was about the worst meal you could have. Mom was not a great cook other than Italian food, and very simple back in the day ……salt and pepper and water in a pot with the roast and veggies.
Now it’s one of my favorites granted it’s a little more gourmet than hers!!! Yours looks wonderful and I don’t mind leftovers!!! LOL
Slammer!!!

Brian, tell your neighbor Congrats on that magnificent beast!!! I’m so jealous as we don’t get moose meat very often and I’ve only seen 2 in the wild in my life. That should make a few batches of jerky alright !!! A friend gave us a bunch of ground moose meat a few years back and it made some mighty fine meatballs!!! Lots and lots of meatballs!
Slammer!!!

Brian T - Posted - 10/13/2021:  16:54:32

This is his first moose in several years.
They bang the occasional deer of some sort but the hunting has been thin.
This is the guy who makes the diamond willow canes that I walk with.

Despite careful and biological (not political) management, the moose population in the central interior of British Columbia is (apparently) in sharp decline. Reproduction rate appears normal, as it has been for 40 years. Age studies still show max life span of 19 years with consistent mortality through out the life span. That's normal, too.

Got up today hungry. Had thawed bison burgers for tonight to have with salad and pasta alfredo.
Bison burgers and Naan bread, orange juice and coffee for breakfast. Supper is bison meat balls if I get lucky and find them in the freezer. I hope so. Might see the pork schnitzels in my search.
They would be a real find.

Love the look of that pot roast but cooking just for me? Hard to face up to that.

figmo, you gotta come up some day. The "Beanery 2" is a modern replica of the cafe' in the local railway station. The super-freight container trains are 20' away from your soup bowl.

There is no reason ever to ask what the soup of the day is. Andy never fails, even taco soup.
Cream of curried carrot is worth 2 bowls. That one is a stunner.

I eat only one thing at each and every food place in the village. I ask for soup and a fried tomato/cheese/bacon sandwich at the Beanery 2. Now, they don't even bother to ask what I want any more.

Soup can be controversial in our home. Wife tends to go old school German roots (or at least her mother and Nana and Oma roots) salt and black pepper, maybe some garlic/garlic salt/garlic powder. Along with some fresh parsley and chives.
Me, I tend to amp up the flavor a bit more. not with heat, but with a bigger variety of spices and herb blends.
Hers is consistently better. My risks and hacks can sometimes, just plain "miss."
Brad

rinemb - Posted - 10/14/2021:  07:34:34

Wife always follows her mother and Oma's method of saving the last piece of bread for after the meal, to eat topped with jelly/jam etc on it.

BTW, I was always confused in her family, who is Nana, and who is Oma. I guess it depended on generational separation? Brad

I remember my recently widowed Dad making soup, or trying to make soup for us all (4 kids) when we came home for Christmas.  He had my mums old 1970's tiny food processor and there was a trail of goop all over the floor as he wandered across the kitchen with to and fro between the stove and the food processor.  My sister walked in, rolled her eyes and went to her baby bag (she was weaning her son onto solids), pulled out a stick blender and turned my dads pot of mush on the stove into soup in seconds.  The look on my dad's face was priceless - like 'what is this wonderful dark magic??' He could hardly sit still through lunch as his desire to own one for himself was too strong, I swear that within an hour of seeing it in operation, he was walking out of a store in the local town with his very own stick blender.

Brad, in my neck of the woods, Nana is the term used for your mum's mum.  Granny/Grandma is used for your dad's mum.  It can get confusing where the grandparent has a child of either sex - IE I had a Granny (my dads mum) who my cousin also called Nana (his mums mum).

When making Roasted Butternut Squash Soup, my stick blender is just the ticket! 

I think this weekend will be great for some, with a big dollop of sour cream in the middle and some chopped, green onion sprinkled on top, maybe some crumbled, crisp bacon. Yep, talked myself into it.

Never had moose, but they're ruminants and I'm sure they taste yummy.
