2015 - Week 29 Cooking Results

Short week due to the family reunion and a late work night for Shannon (scheduled).  While Shannon was working I made pizza dough for Today and then had sausage and cheese for dinner (oh so healthy).

Rotini with Ground Pork and spicy peanut sauce

Sometimes you want the water to boil faster.  As I was prepping the kitchen and then spicy pork peanut sauce, I was still waiting for the water to boil faster.  Do I want an induction burner (?) with my fire?  Yes I do.  Anyways, I turned the peanut sauce down while the pasta cooked.  It was a good meal, it was super easy, and didn't take to long, other then the boiling of the water.

Cheater Chorizo Burgers

Looking for meat in the freezer for this, I noticed I was almost out of ground pork from Crooked Gap farm.  Luckily for me, it was a pickup week, so I picked up another 4 pounds and after this week have 3 left.  So I reduced some of the ingredients here by a third, but not all of them (teaspoons don't do thirds very well).  I didn't have hot paprika on hand, so I used smoked, instead (not that it was a mild smoked, but it was certainly not as hot as some of the hot paprikas I've had).  So it was probably spicier or more herbal then it should've been, but it was still very good.

Sobrasada & Eggs

I saw somewhere on line that this was a common usage for this.  Simple combination (rendered the fat off the Sobrasada first, then added beaten eggs), led to a very good simple dinner.  Served with bagels.

'njuda & Butter Potatoes

Using the rest of the Underground Meats 'njuda, I broke it up into peaces and pan fried it with chopped up butter potatoes.  Cooking it in the wonderful tasting 'njuda rendered fat, then oven finishing.  Good things.  Very good things.
