2017 - Week 44 Cooking

My freezers are full.  This is a pretty good thing, heading into the winter season, where regular access to really good meat starts to decline.  I would have more room, had I not been lazy and rendered pork fat as I should've.  Looks like it might be warm next weekend, so I could, in theory, do something then.  That being said I've been critical of myself over being relatively inactive here and there.  I'm going to try to be a bit better about it, but "try" is the operative word here.  There are times where it would be a lot easier.  Its about making a habit of it.  So instead of waiting until the shred bin is overflowing, do it weekly as part of the habits.  Anyhoo.

Last regular farmers market of the season was yesterday, it was a cool day and it probably depressed the last attendance.  But I spent all my money (plus bonus money for last market).

  • Shepherd's Pie (using root vegetables purchased yesterday, and mutton, vaguely using Alton Brown's Guidence)
  • Pumpkin Mac & Cheese (bechamel + pumpkin puree + Prairie Breeze) + Chicken (less mac and cheese for me)
  • White Bean and Chorizo Chili (Saturday or Sunday)
  • London Bangers and salad
  • Pork Burgers
