2014 - Week 38 Cooking Results

Baked Lentils with Sausage

It was still chilly out when I made this, it was pretty good.  Even better with a bit of hot sauce on it, the next day.

Pancakes

Skipped...due to warm weather

All Pork Hot dogs from Crooked Gap

good stuffs.  I should've bought more Garlic and Dill Kraut, but my farmers market time got shortened.

Corn Chowder with Chorizo and Chilies

Turned into tacos...cause well it was too warm for chowder.

Hamburgers

Combined some Crooked Gap Dexter beef with some salt and pepper and seared them relatively low and slow.  The issue here is that the dexter beef tends to be a bit low on the fat, so doing a high heat, tends to burn rather than sear.  Unless you augment it (sometimes with ground pork or bacon or the like).  These turned out really good.  I was quite happy with them.

Seared Chicken Sandwiches

Quick and simple, used the chicken that was bought for the pulled chicken but I swapped out for a rotisserie chicken later in the week.

Other Things

We took the last trip to Snookies for the season.  We got chocolate instead of vanilla in our arctic blasts.  Good stuffs.

While watching the parade yesterday, I had a Bloody Mary (provided by a neighbor) so I started adding bourbon to my coffee.  That's actually really quite good.  I had nice conversations with the two people that live behind me, as well as the house (on another street) behind them.  

It was nice to do after the stress of the cats (see facebook).
