Cider Braised Pork Chops (p23 Fall 2010 Entertaining)

I made this on Thursday, I started at 7...it requires an hour and a half braise...needless to say we ate late.  On the positive side we snacked on the cheese that we bought at Marion Street Cheese Market. Both were quite good.  The Cowgirl Creamery Mt Tam, which was absolutely fantastic and the Pleasant Ridge Reserve Cheese, which was also wonderful.  It made for a nice snack to tide us over to around 9:PM or so when we finally got around to eating.  The dinner itself was pretty good, though a lot of wait for the pork.

Speedy Guinness Beef Stew (RC October/November 2010 Cook's Country)

Some times I've made a Guinness stew and it was too boozy for the wife.  But this was a nice and certainly didn't take a ton of time to do.  It made for a nice break as I finished it off for lunch the next day (rather then eating chili).

Skillet Meatballs and Noodles in Creamy Herb Sauce (RC October/November 2010 Cook's Country)

I kinda made this wrong (didn't read all the way through) but it still turned out pretty well.  It was good enough that I didn't eat the leftovers and they disappeared!

Roast Chicken Pita Panini with cucumber-olive salad (RC October/November 2010 Cook's Country)

Quick!  Well after a bit of prep it was quick.  Shannon didn't like the salad (doesn't like olives) but the panini itself was pretty good.  I was pretty happy with how this turned out.

Potato Sausage Popover Casserole (p34 Fall 2010 Entertaining)

This was good!  And turned out pretty well.  The intention with the magazine is to have it as a Sunday brunch and it would make a good one at that.  Pretty easy to make to.  Though I suspect since I used the Graziano spicy sausage, it was a bit spicier then they intended.  I would totally make this again.
