I made a double batch of chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies for my dialysis nurses. Naturally I had to test them and ended up making another batch just for me. They are so addictive I can't stop getting up and grabbing another.

The oriental market had leeks for 99cents a pound, Kale for 39cents a bunch, red bell peppers for 59cents a pound, filet mignon for $4.99 a pound.
I made a batch of potato leek soup. Great hot and better cold , and a pot full of greens (kale) with the green part of the leeks and some ham stock I had in the freezer for just such an occaision.

Then we made BLTs
Gotta get more tomatoes.

Grilled Italian Red Roasters for TheBrit last night, stuffed with cream cheese and garlic. The night before, we had pan fried bluegill filets, with a big green salad.

Discovered a great way to freeze our catch. We vacuum pack, so I tried adding spices to the fish before freezing. WOW! Made a perfect infusion of flavor! Added Mrs, Dash's garlic and herb to this one.

Too bad it was a late discovery, we have about 40 pounds put up from the summer...

New favorite way to make steaks.
The market has boneless NY Strip steaks for $3.49 a pound this week , but I have also done this with tenderloin (filet mignon) and ribeye.
Get a thick cut (1.5 inch is good) and trim off any outer fat.
Then place it between two sheets of saran wrap and pound it with a rubber mallet until it is under a half inch thick.
Season with salt and lots of fresh ground (coarse grind) black pepper.
Cook it like a minute steak, on a really hot grill or cast iron pan for about a minute each side.
Let rest before eating.

Going out for dinner tonight. My dad is visiting from Vancouver, BC. We're going to have Chinese food; I'm looking forward to it. Chow mien and lots of sweet and sour stuff.

Odd as a long time bachelor decided it's time to upgrade from the turkey Swanson TV dinner.
From Hungary Man version to ->

Bought a 3# turkey breast, fresh yams, stove top dressing, cranberries etc including a pumpkin pie that will last for days.
Coming out of character haha

Walking on the fresh snowfall barefooted is more like me.
Happy turkey day and with my Packers playing the Lions makes for a great day.
Does life get any better haha ?
Too be continued...

Dang! Won't see that game. We're spending the long weekend on Lake Michigan, in a beautiful house on the dunes. No TV, no phone, no internet. Traditional turkey dinner, with all the fixins.

Pee Ess.... Tony Stewart won the NASCAR 2011 championship.

Enjoying a nice cup of hot black coffee at the moment.. Breakfast soon: a bowl of porridge and toast. We had light snow over the weekend; yesterday was my first day shoveling the driveway.

Ran across a holiday special; boneless whole ribeye for $2.99 a pound. Got about twenty pounds. Sliced into steaks and roast.
I cut my steaks thick ( about 1.5 inches) and then pound them with a rubber mallet (they are sandwiched between saran wrap. ) until they are about a third of that.
Then on a screaming hot grill for a bout three minutes per side and a five minute rest . Seasoning; all they need is salt and pepper. Soft and tender and moist and buttery mouthwatering goodness. Most is in the freezer , it will last quite a while.

Made a batch of "Healthy" chili yesterday. One pound ground turkey breast, one pound low fat "SoyRizo" ( Soy Textured vegetable protein flavored to taste like chorizo) one onion, one head garlic, one poblano pepper, two jalapenos , two cans kidney beans, two cans pintos cooked in chili sauce.

Tasty and healthy. Not sure what we will make today.

Whoot! We just bought a new Weber Q300 gas grill, and it's a beauty! It arrived Wed, so we assembled it and gave it the recommended 1 hour burn.
Thursday we grilled a 28 day aged, prime porterhouse, seasoned zucchini, and asparagus. Deeeee-lish!

Sadly, since then we got 8" of snow....

Hi bozodog

I'm very curious of this 28 day aged, prime porterhouse.
21 years discovered the Food Saver vacuum pack machine at a trade show, only have aged a steak maybe a week in the refrigerator.
So tender I'll have to try again, thanks for the memories.

Ouch we had 18" snow here for leap year 29 Feb so here's what I saw, thankfully I had the truck ready to go, car safe in the garage.
Porch charcoaler had to wait its turn.
Take care and please let me know.

Marsh, we buy our beef from a local butcher, that buys all his meat from the Amish. Been doing business with him for many years. When we are ready to order a quarter, we ask him to pick us a nice USDA Prime, and hang it, this is called Dry Aged. This last hind cost us under $3.00 a hanging pound, we only lost about 20 pounds to the aging and processing. You can't beat the tenderness and flavor. Even the hamburger tastes aged.

From what I understand, wet aging can go longer than a week. http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Beef_aging
