Marinated thick-cut pork chops (brown sugar and bourbon) and sweet potato fries.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

a thick slice of ham steak, broccoli drenched in melted cheese, a dinner roll to mop up all the cheese sauce, and garlic mashed potatoes.

Turkey burgers doused in Texas Pete's hot sauce.  It's the only way to make these things edible.

I picked them up months ago and forgot about them.

3 tacos al Pastor and 2 cheese enchiladas at Tacos San Pedro.

Was watching Man vs. Food Nation in Omaha earlier. I think I could take the Pig Wing Challenge on and win.

Man vs. food is fun to watch, eh?  I cannot image what his doctor says at a physical.  Those foods he over-eats are time-bombs in the artery-clogging area.  I Hope he eats extremely healthy most of the time.

Go Adam, Man vs. Food - love your show!

Since it is cold here finally, I am eating Minestrone Soup with Italian Sausage that I cooked on Sunday.  Friday will be chili, no beans, and this weekend, I have to come up with something to do with the cauliflower and cabbage I bought last weekend.

Cream of cauliflower soup  :drool:.
Cabbage rolls?

I just spent 6 hours making my gasless French Onion Soup. About 1.5 gallons - might last us until spring.

Lasagna was last nights dinner. Frozen and nuked at 50% until cooked all thru.

Iced tea has gotten more expensive for me. I brew one 32oz glass at a time.
3 Lipton (or generic Black Tea) tea bags
and
3 Pepermint tea bags (from the expensive specialty boxes).

I use an electric kettle to make the water hot. I steep all 6 bags for 15 minutes (but sometimes I'm on the net and it ends up steeping for 30...)
--the point is, the tea is STRONG.

Pour the tea in a 32oz glass full of crushed ice. Half the ice melts right away diluting the tea, and the other half makes it ice cold.

No sugar needed. The mint is just strong enough to be felt and its cold and minty smooth going down.

I also just made a double batch of my version of Split-Pea soup.  This not MY pic, but my soup looks like this:

That's it!  I made a double batch as well... I found an extra can of vegetable stock in the cupboard. 

So tasty.

Damn.  Someone needs to bring me some venison soon.  Homemade broccoli cheese soup tonight, but yours sounds better.

Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole. Mmmmm Mmmmmm.

We must have had the same idea at the same time  :-)  So glad yours turned out good!  :-*

I used thawed frozen potato hash brown shreds and layered them with chunks of leftover ham, some thawed broccoli, and fresh/green onions topped with more potato shreds and more shredded cheddar cheese into a buttered  glass dish.  Trial and major error with no liquids involved.

(Mine was SO very dry.  It needed milk and butter.)   I knew it   :banghead:

The leftovers were much better w/milk, sour cream and butter.   :-)

Korean grilled BBQ pork and sweet potato.


This works on steak or chicken and it's so easy a liberal could do it.  This makes a single serving of marinade (enough for two steaks):

6 tablespoons of dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.  I'm out of fresh stuff so I had to use the dried powder.
