Getting ready to eat a pastrami sandwich w/a pint of Blind Pig IPA while watching the Mets/Dbacks game on TV at my local pub for lunch today.
On the TV, the Mets are celebrating after Lindor just hit a 2-run HR in the bottom of the 5th for a 5-0 lead. The Mets won 10-3.

Yesterday was our annual leek digging and beer drinking afternoon. I found a drainage that’s been chock full of them for over 10 years now so it’s a regular spot for us. My wife is going to use them for a batch of soup and a few loaves of bread.

My wife is a bit sick and wants potato soup so that’s what I’m cooking today, the whole time shopping yesterday I was think a leek soup would be sooo much better.

I had pretty much given up sweets two years ago when I changed both my outlook and lifestyle and lost 105 lbs. This cullanary school thing with an emphasis on baking may very well kill me!!!!

Not laughing at your situation, but what a way to go helping out your daughter. Fathers have a true responsibility to help in any way they can even if it hurts the waist line.

Prime Brisket
Put on at midnight, sliced at noon after church.

Happy Easter everyone.



Now off to cook baby back ribs for the in-laws coming over this evening.

 

[sgt1372]

Nothing special. Just a 2-2-2 egg/bacon & pancake combo for Easter breakfast at a coffee shop that's usually jammed packed during the weekend but I guess everyone slept in this morning. Had to eat here because the BBQ joint that I wanted to eat at was closed for Easter.

I do apologize for posting so many times in the CPK sub without showing love to my Carothers knife.
Baby back ribs for the in-laws. My wife made a rice dressing and baked beans to compliment them, and fresh yeast rolls from a local bakery.


I’m done cooking (eating too) for the day, hell I may begin a 24 hour fast.

 

[Jsega51]

Please send leftovers!

I’ll even send plastic containers if that will help.

Been spending a lot of time on food prep and am getting ready to make some:

1) Gravlax (salt/sugar/dill cured salmon fillet). Also skinned and cut up another salmon filet into 5 -6oz portions for pan frying or poaching.

The gravlax is done and ready to serve sliced w/cream cheese on a bagel or on crackers or thin bread toast topped w/a dijon/dill/honey sauce.

2) Salmon pate (to be made w/cooked salmon leftovers from the fillets prep'd above).

Here's the salmon pate (made w/cooked salmon, butter, cream cheese, lemon juice, dill & horseradish). Serve on crackers/thin bread toast topped w/capers.

3) Pan fried salmon skin (from the skinned fillet) aka salmon chicharons.

Dry the skin in paper towels, pan fry w/oil until stiff like cardboard and all the water has evaporated. Cut up w/sissors and season w/salt to add as a topping to ramen/rice (whatever you prefer) like furikaki.

Salmon skin cut up, salted and ready to be jarred for use:

4) Chinese-style roasted BBQ pork ribs (from a full rack cut down to a St. Louis sized slab); pork scraps to be ground up and frozen.

Ribs in marinade (hoisin & soy sauce, honey & minced garlic. Need to marinate about 6 hrs before roasting. 530pm PST - the ribs are in the oven.

And finally, the ribs are done! The house smells SO GOOD when I make these ribs. Yum!!!

Also just cut up an 12.4# bone-in ham (that I got on an after-Easter sale for just $7). The bone and unused fat weighed about 1.4# so call it 11# or 63 cents/#. The 4-6oz ham "steaks" and cut up bits (for soups/omelettes/stir fry will be sealed/frozen shortly.

Preping to seal the ham for freezing:

All done pkging the ham. Ended up w/18 pkgs about 1/2# each. I ate some along the way but I'm not sure where the other 2# went.

Very tired after spending all day preping/cooking all of this food, so this is what I'm having for dinner instead. LOL!

OBTW, I live alone and have to pretty much eat all of this food myself. My GF visits on weekends but I'll probably kill most of this food myself before she arrives this coming Friday. She just asked me to save some gravlax for her. Double LOL!

You ate an entire box of Grape nuts? In a single sitting? Oh my God. I will pray for you.
