2023 - Week 28 Cooking Results

Sausage

I used the second set of the Smoking Goose’s Kitchen Sink Sausage. Still quite good.

(Western) Iowa Loose Meat Sandwiches

Last time, I thought that it would be 2.5 teaspoons, and I think I was about right. Another half a teaspoon probably wouldn’t hurt, but again, this is pre-ground Costco pepper, so there is probably some loss here. I went back to the spongy plain white buns, but used a pre-sliced “sharp cheddar” (known mass market brand) and that added a bit, but not exactly what they wanted. Topped with ketchup and mustard, as it should be. I think that’s about what it should be and I’m pretty happy here.

Brown Butter Scallion Noodles

Super fast. I added some pre-cooked chicken and toasted them with the noodles. Good dinner.

Spicy Potato, Bok Choy and Shallot Hash

I suppose the potatoes that I go where not “Medium” as one of them were larger then the half pound that, after dealing wit h that this came together with a bit of the Bok Choy from Blue Gate to make a nice meal. I used the Lola’s Original hot sauce and it was a nice meal.

Beef Stir-Fry with Bok Choy and Green Beans

As my wife is not a huge fan of (non-ground) beef, I had to be very careful in the slicing and cooking of this as to make it relatively tender. I made this on a Saturday since there was a lot of prep and waiting. I meant to start earlier but I had done some kitchen cleaning, when up stairs and meant to just catch my breath a bit, but ended up falling asleep for a bit. I eventually got up and took a shower and started cooking. I made some Moroccan mint tea at the same time as well. I did make one minor error where I combined the sauce into the beef, but was able to adapt a bit but pulling the meat out and then cooking the sauce a bit longer when it would’ve normally gone in. I also added a bit more oyster sauce at the end to cover for that adaptation. Overall, pretty good.

Egg and Sausage Muffins

Crooked Gap breakfast sausage patties, Eggs, a bit of Challerhocker. Good times.
