We had Korean food catered at work today.  I'm taking home about five pounds of bulgogi.

I love Hornsby's.  Ok, I love cider.  :whatever:

German Pot Roast in the crockpot- flavor is similar to Rouladen without the work.  Spatzle, and Red Cabbage as sides.  BF's Red Ale to drink.

I'm not going to say I get into a rut but if I buy something, I'm going to finish it.  I spend most of the week eating the same thing every day.

I don't mind.  It saves me money.

Same here, but tonight it was an 8.00 pizza from Papa Murphys.  I was lazy.  Got home late.

Yeah, that drive to Kentucky today felt a lot longer than it actually was.  I got home about an hour ago and started cooking right away. :p

Chicken and sweet potato.  Good stuff.  I've been using Shake 'n Bake, but I only put it on one side of a chicken thigh... I cook them skin-down so I get crispy skin and salty, crunchy breadcrumbs at the same time.  My cheap-ass box of breadcrumbs lasts twice as long.

You rock!  Grilling a ton of chicken breasts tonight to eat, and freeze the rest, for other lazy days.  That, and the 30 lbs of Hatch Chilies I just acquired.

Monday I took a recipe that someone - I think a CC member - had posted on FB, and changed it up some, cause I couldn't find the original post. I had 3 reports to do, but wanted something easy that would be almost done come dinnertime without me having to do much more work..

I had a pack of boneless pork chops from Sam's. After I started everything, realized they were thicker than I thought - 1" and there were 8 of them... we're eating leftovers all week.  :-)

Layered them in my round crockpot (rather than oval). Each layer - sprinkled with black pepper and garlilc powder, very thin slices of sweet onions, sliced mushrooms (canned cause that's what I always have on hand).
I had 3 layers.

In saucepan combined 2 packets of Hidden Farms original ranch dressing, 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup, 1.5 cans of milk, about 1 tbls of parsley. Got it all blended well and poured over the chops. I doubled everything cause the original was for 4 chops.

Cooked on high for about 6 hours.

Served with buttered noodles, steamed broccoli with lemon butter sauce and Sister Schubert rolls.

The flavor was wonderful, and the chops could be cut with a fork! However, next time I won't use as much milk, even though it was supposed to be even amounts. Sauce was thinner than I would have liked. I would probably use less than a full soup can of milk...maybe about 1/2. The chops had very little fat on them, but the juice from them would thin the soup enough without so much milk. Could have thickend the sauce, but didn't want to mess with it as it was almost 8pm and the crew was starving...
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Damn.  I was all set to enjoy some chicken soup with fresh roasted chicken, and I'm out of chicken soup.

Looks like it's the same old roast chicken and sweet potato.
