2016 - Week 20 Cooking Results

Weight Loss continues:  17.08% / 13.32% (peak / 2016).  As a note from this past week, I'm still having trouble controlling my intake restricting from time to time.  We went out, and I really should have stopped eating the Mexican dish about half way through.  but I didn't, and was quite uncomfortable after the fact.  We'll calling this a learning lesson about what the new normal is.

BA's Best buttermilk Pancakes (gonna have to decide if I want less pancakes, or almost no syrup...whee)

Not the same...but still pretty good.  Nice to at least have them, even though I can't stuff my face with them.

Butterfly Pork Chops with rhubarb ketchup

I was excited to see a recipe for rhubarb ketchup, and this was good, however this was not near as good as the stuff that Brett made.  This was to sweet.  It was, however, a good start.  Less sugar, more port and red wine vinegar.  Even so, pair well with the pork chops.

Parm Baked eggs and Swiss Chard

Not a lot of up front work, and quite a bit of idle time.  It was pretty good, not fantastic...maybe needs something more.

Chicken and Chive Blossom Toasts

This turned out very well.  I purchased some Fox Hollow Farm More then Mustard after tasting it at this past Monday's Charcuterie class at the Cheese Shop.  This just sort of ticked in with what I should go together.  This turned into a delicious thing.

Chive Blossom Omelet

Turned into scrambled eggs.  Didn't want to face the possible defeat of omelettes (and was tired).  Still quite good.
