Saturday night.  A choice chuck roast with potatoes, carrots, onions, along with a Southern Living, "million dollar pound cake".  Brad

Fit fer ah King Brad... :0)

Brad, that meal was my nightmare meal when I was a kid. Hated beef roast as my mom bought cheap cuts ( we was poor) and I always got the snotty / sinue part of the roast. It was a flavorless meal. Cooking and seasoning was different back then.
Now, it’s one of my top 10 when done right pretty tough to beat. Yours looks Great!!! Bring on da gravy!!!
Slammer!!!

Ditto on the nightmare meal as a kid.  But nowadays we love the meal.  Marilyn grew up with more of this type meal than I did-with a mother who was a much better cook than mine.  So Marilyn has the touch.  But I take credit for picking out the good cut of meat.  I went smaller/gooder, than bigger/tougher.  It was a choice, never frozen 2-1/2 lb chuck.  I used to eat good steaks that were cheaper, Brad

Your pizzas always look so tasty.  What temperature do you bake then at?  brad

Baked at 550 on bottom rack, moved to middle if needed. Checking and rotating every 2 minutes.

Tonight was creamy white chicken enchiladas!!! An old recipe from an old friend who is a wonderful home cook!!!

Chicken noodle soup for Al, who has an eye infection:
Chicken broth and bullion concentrate, onions and garlic, Thai red pepper paste and Harissa sauce. Grilled chicken bits, baby carrots, and cream. Pre-cooked egg noodles. Crusty bread on the side. Pretty good!

Oops, wrong photo. Here we go:

Sammy the Bull sammich..n a Gorgonzola salid...

Liz here: my first ever attempt at Swedish meatballs. They stuck to the pan and kind of fell apart, but were very good. My only prior experience of them was at the church I attended as a child, where they were served as part of their June Strawberry Festival, and they were vile. These were good! The one thing I lacked is lingonberry jam on the side, so I substituted some cranberry compote left over from the holidays.

I make those meatballs when Mrs. Slammer is gone, as she’s not a fan. Love that savory nutmeg flavor and the rich gravy!!!
Oh, and BTW, that garlic bread looks amazing. While cooking at fishcamp this last weekend I made spaghetti and the boys were giving me crap for not having garlic bread. So, to shut them up I took a whole pack of Hawaiian rolls and put em on a baking sheet, melted a stick of butter with some garlic and garlic salt and black pepper and a little olive oil and parsley. Poured it over top of rolls and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Baked at 400 till crispy top. Holy Moly!!!
Another new “Favorite “ !!! Talk about melt in your mouth!!!

When time, money, and a cluttered pantry&fridge matter…wipe the dust out of the instapot.
I took two cups of red beans (not even sure what they were-not kidney), 6 cups of water, some powdered chicken stock, can of diced tomatoes, 1/2 an onion, a few garlic cloves, thyme, and a cut up kielbasa, and some leftover raw stew pork. S&P and a bit of oil (to prevent foaming) Dumped it in the instapot for 1 hour and natural venting. Not bad. Two meals so far. I wish we had some Beano! Brad

I threw a scratch breakfast cake together this morning. No cinnamon. I used dried cranberries and a white sugar-flour-butter crumb top. It was good. I wish I would have thought to include orange zest-dang! Brad

Tonight, as a part of purging our fridge and freezer...I took a couple of swine shanks and made a country ish style osso buco.  Well not really I suppose. I floured and browned a pair of pig shanks then added coarse cut veggies and sautéed and added stock.  Then oven cooked at 325F. For 3 hours with other ingredients.  Marilyn made grits/polenta and we had a grand Sunday night dinner.  Brad

Brad, You and the Mrs. outdid yourselves on that one!!! Nicely done!!!
Slammer!!!

Tonight’s traditional Good Friday meal for over 80 years in our family. My 88 year old mother (Sicilian) made me our traditional meal. I haven’t had it for a few years but she has never missed a year.
Buttered egg noodles with macerated strawberries, topped with bread crumbs fried in olive oil and salted, and fried fish!!! Being the devout Catholic that she is, is what helped keep this tradition so long. Not only that, it’s damn tasty and was economical for a meat free meal!!!

Hmmm. I have never seen fruit on hot pasta.  Have the berries been heated? Is this a traditional dish in Sicily or anywhere?  I find it both curious and interesting.  Brad
