Brats with Mexican Street Corn Salad

So I started with the corn salad with high hopes, I like the process. Then I made it to tart by adding way to much lime juice at the end. At first I wasn’t sure what my wife was talking about, then I taste her’s and it was way more tart then I think it should have been. In thinking on what I did, I added all the juice from a lime, way more then a tablespoon, and then also added a spice mix my aunt got me that includes dried lime in it as the “chili powder” which turns out to have been way too much.

My bad. It made for a nice topping to the taco salad mix, when I add it with leftover tortillas.

Pork Burgers and Black Bean Salad With Corn, Cilantro, and Chili-Lime Vinaigrette

I could not find pork in my freezer, either of them, well ground pork. So I ended up using lamb. I did not think the salad would go with lamb, so I had Shannon bring one home.

Pizza, the one I make, specifically requested.

I forgot to add yeast…I’m not even sure I have yeast.

Chicken on Salad

This ended up with chicken in a sandwich. I ended up using olive oil and covering them in the Momofuku savory salt and baking the chicken thighs. Made for a good dinner.

Taco Salad

Good as always.

I finished up the Elderflower Syrup, giving it an extra day and a half of steeping (~3.5 total). I’m currently using 5/6 of the plastic lids I bought to go around the mason jars. I want to finish the last of the Elderflower vodka from last year and start up a mint vodka, where I will pass mint leaves over and over through it (transferring from bottle to bottle).
