The salad bar at Jason's Deli.

There's a Jason's Deli down the road from here in Killeen. Never been but heard nothing but good about the food. They also do a fair bunch of catering so the food can't be that bad.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

Chicken Parm and salad.

Last night was a pork roast.  All I did was throw the roast in the crockpot, spread on a good dose of McCormick Grillmates pork rub.  Let it cook for 5 hours.  Halfway through I added 1/2 cup water, poured down the side to not wash the rub off.  Tender, juicy, really good.  Keep the lid on.

Had a co-worker from another office in town yesterday and today for some Grand Poobah meeting... we went out for sushi.

It was pretty good.

Roasted a whole turkey breast last night; real mashed potatoes, steamed green beans.

I do boneless turkey breast in one of those roasting bags with a packet of McCormick Spaghetti Mix -it's the Thick and Zesty one or something like that -  and some olive oil. Seal it up and squish it all around to coat the meat, and pop in oven at 325 for about an hour and a half. Sounds weird but it is very tender and moist. No gravy but it makes wonderful sandwiches.
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.

That sounds great, but this particular whole turkey breast was cut off the carcass. Nothing boneless about it. Keel and ribs, in fact the neck as well, were still intact. That's why I said it didn't stand up in the roaster very well. Lopsided turkey.  :lmao:

I put a roast in the crockpot.  I am sick of the onion soup mix pot roast so I used a can of cream of mushroom soup mixed with a packet of brown gravy mix with about a 2/3 of a can (from the cream of mushroom soup) of water. First I browned it with a little bit of kitchen bouquet first (I normally don't do this step if I'm throwing it in a crockpot but do if I'm putting it in the oven). I had three packages of sliced mushrooms that I was going to use in spaghetti & meatballs but forgot some ingredients I needed for it so I decided to dump them in with the roast. I just looked at it and it looks so good. There will be a lot of mushrooms in there but we all love them.

Slow cooker pork chops.  So easy even I could do it.

For each 1 1/2 lbs of boneless pork chops, get 8 oz of softened cream cheese, can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 tsp garlic powder.  Mix them together, pour into slow cooker, top with pork chops, and salt and pepper the top.

Cook on low for 8-10 hours.

I served them up over rice and some vegetables (peas.)  Kids seemed to like it, as did Scoobie.  Took some leftovers to work with me for lunch tonight.

 :wtf3:

Yeah, it was the first time I'd seen one of these myself. Have roasted many a turkey in my day, but those were whole - meaning breast, thighs, legs, wings all attached to the backbone.

All they did was remove the breast from the rest of the bird, package it up, freeze it, and sell it.

I double-dog dare you to take this turkey breast, complete with internal bones/keel (that's the breastbone in bird-talk), rub it up with some veggie oil and maybe a bouquet garni in the cavity and then stand that puppy up in the roasting pan.  :lmao:

vegetables (peas.) 

Peas!   :hammer:

The way I do it is brown on both sides first, s & p, throw in crockpot.  Add a can of Progresso cream of mushroom, a can of brown gravy, with both cans rinsed out with a splash of wine.  Cook around 6-8 hours.  Mashed potates and corn.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

Forgot a small addition to the crock pot pork chops...for each can of cream of mushroom soup, add 1/3 can water.
