Food & Traditional Knives

Lunch time today! An open-faced face meatball and sausage sandwich, thanks to Mrs. Peregrin! Accompanied by my favorite Italian beer.

My wife decided to prepare an English breakfast this morning. This is as close as she could get to it with what we had available. Leftover baked beans and coneys from our Father's Day cookout. Toasted Tuscan bread, scrambled eggs, and sliced tomatoes. At least my pocket knife for today is from the correct side of the Atlantic.:) ;)

My wife recently was out and about and brought home for me a Southwest Chicken Protein Bowl from O'Brien's Deli. According to the deli's menu, the bowl contains seasoned grilled chicken, black beans, corn, avocado mash, grilled onions, pico, jalapeños, sour cream, cheese, chipotle aioli, cilantro lime avocado sauce, served on a bed of quinoa, with tortilla chips. The various ingredients tend to be segregated into clumps, so I usually give it a good mixing to blend all the ingredients together. Then I'll divide the bowl's contents into 5 or 6 portions, and add one portion to a bunch of fresh vegetables I chop up and nuke. So I get 5 or 6 meals from the protein bowl; good change of pace from my usual vegetable casseroles with ground turkey or summer sausage as the protein ingredient!

A couple of weeks ago, I was digging around in the chest freezer in the laundry room in the basement, searching for hidden treasures. (My wife thinks that food storage in the freezer should be "random access"; she doesn't appreciate my periodic attempts to organize the contents into orderly stacks of, say, meats on the front right, baked goods on the back left, vegetables in the right basket, fruits in the left basket, etc. :rolleyes:) I found a little package containing a 6 oz. bison steak! Since my wife doesn't eat mammals, I figured the entire steak was all mine! 🤓
So I thawed it, chopped it up, and fried it in a little olive oil:

Then I added some to my almost-daily nuked vegetable casserole. I enjoyed it!

Haha you need to learn to embrace your wife’s random storage method :thumbsup::cool:. If you refer to the freezer contents as being “en vrac”, it will sound fancy, and French! That should help.

Thanks for the advice, Tom. 🤓
After 40 years of frosty search and rescue missions in the freezer, I can endure my wife's random storage but I fear I'll never actually embrace it!

No wonder I have not seen any wildlife around here. Enjoy, grilling, brazing, broiling, smoking....👍🏻

You are certainly well stocked! I hope you have a generator!

I have been thinking about that; we have had good luck over the years. Meanwhile....NEVER put a refrigerator or especially a freezer on a circuit with a ground fault interrupter receptacle. I speak from a Friend's experience that impacted me.

I've never heard that. I'll have to do a little research, as my basement chest freezer has been on a GFI outlet for years.
