Beef Pot Pie...

Part of the fridge clean out..

Polish Penicillin, aka chicken soup, and bread, homemade by Kim (the daughter-in-law.)

Penne al dente with re sauce.
I like to keep the sauce simple.

Fry some garlic for a minute or two.
Add some onion, cook for a few more minutes.
Add meat if you want to and brown the meat.
Add good quality tomatoes. Cook for a while.
Add basil, oregano, and if you like, a little red pepper.

Cook for a long while. If you used fresh tomatoes or home canned tomatoes, cook longer.
You can add a little red wine near the end if you want to.

That's it.

Tonight I used Italian sausage. Sometimes I don't use any meat, sometimes I do.

We went out for a fish fry last Friday to a small town diner/restaurant. I had cod and Mrs. Slammer had whitefish. One beer and a pop and with tip it was $62.00 which is better than I thought but Damn!!! Goin out to eat used to be fun and a treat, but now it’s getting ridiculous. Glad I enjoy cooking and pretty good at it!!!
Slammer!!!

Cod is the best imo..

Correction...
The meal we had came out to $111.00...with tip..

Still shocking..but it was at a Pub..not a rester-rant.... :0/

Terry & I went for fish & chips the other day. About a hundred bucks too. Have to step up my deep fry game!

Fish ain't cheap here right on the the pacific! Getting my tidal license Monday!

Nearly every fall I make a fresh apple cake. Often a different recipe or style. I enjoy the anxiety, and it keeps my failure rate steady. This is from “Southern Living.” It’s called an “Old-Fashioned Apple Dapple Cake.”
Diced gala apples (that actually tasted good) , toasted pecans, cinnamon and a typical cake batter, though my batter was a bit thick, until I stirred enough to get some apple juice mixed in. Took the extra batter and filled some mini bundts. Brad

I’d Apple Dapple that any time!!! Apples , sugar, cinnamon, cake………..what’s not to like!!! Served warm with some good vanilla ice cream and stay away from me and nobody will get hurt!!! I don’t bake, but sure appreciate anyone that does!!!
Slammer!!!

Some day I will look up what the heck apple dapple is, other than rhyme?

Marilyn felt compelled to share in potential triumph. She poured over some leftover salt caramel then sprinkled pecan bits on top. Brad

My kind of girl that Marilyn is !!! Quit teasing us !!!
Slammer!!!

I really enjoy fresh apple cakes. My favorite is one that uses fresh “shredded” apples, but I could not find my recipe at time needed.
But, following a YouTube vid, the dicing (1/4”) ish, went fast, not coring, but peeled fast.

Oh, and the cake with the salted caramel hit was great. It was a cake where before turning it out of pan, you poke “cake tester” size holes all though bottom and fill with hot caramel sauce, rest it some more, then turn it out, rest a bit more and drizzle , re-heated, remaining sauce over the top. Brad

If interested. I pulled this recipe from a Southern Living's  fall vintage cakes piece with a number of classic fall cakes. Brad

Baked ziti with sausage, ricotta, and mozzarella. Garlic bread. And my seasonal back room walk in fridge is now operational.

And I added leftover pizza sauce to the marinara. Al said it made it better! (About 40/60 ratio, if anyone is interested.)

I got ta ..piggy out... :0)

I do not know what a ziti is, but I like the stuff it's made of . Brad

Ziti is a longer tubular pasta similar to penne pasta. Good stuff.

Tonight was a classic fall harvest menu…………Big Ol’ grilled porterhouse cut pork chop, roasted acorn squash, cornbread stuffing, brussel sprouts and coleslaw (not pictured)
My compliments to the Pig and the Amish farmer the acorn squash came from!!!
