Crash,Looks good. My wife would like the dairy free almond milk.

Aw Crash that's sweet. Looks real good too. We are all a bit sicky right now so I made some moose stew, with potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, celery, hominy, green beans, peas, lentils, dried tomatoes from my garden, and mushrooms. I think that's everything.

I noticed this thread hasn't been updated in a while, so, how bout a bunch of roast beef?

I picked up the 4.18lb top round on sale for about $11. That's a lot of beef for one person! But I felt up to the challenge.

First up, your regular ol' roast beef:

I had that for a couple of dinners and lunches, and was still left with about a pound and a half, so I made Sonoran machaca (AKA "shredded beef":

Basically, you crock it with some chile peppers and tomatoes until it shreds, then drain it and fry it, adding back a liquid a little at a time, until it's absorbed. It should be fairly dry, but really flavorful.

Traditionally, it was made with carne seca -- dried beef. So if you have some, maybe give this recipe a whirl.

Some of that went into breakfast (that's artichoke leaf ribs on the bottom):

I was still left with maybe an ounce or two, so I put it on pizza. (no pics)

I am cooking white sauce garlic pasta today with cheese, onions and some mushrooms. White sauce is being prepared at home and while mixing the fried onions, garlic and mushroom with the pasta…I added some mushroom soup and it gave a very yummy and a perfect taste to the pasta. served it with garlic cheese bread with some mustard saunce on it.

I meant to post this this weekend but time got away from me. I made corn bread and lazy peach/pear cobbler. I got in a hurry and forgot to add the salt and baking powder to the cornbread but it still turned out really good, moist and sweet!

I was so excited to eat the cobbler I forgot to take pics! I made the cornbread in my size 12 camp oven and stacked my 8qt kitchen oven on top. This was the first time successfully using my two dutch ovens stacked. ( the one on tip is actually a kitchen dutch oven)

Finally harvested something from the new garden - two wee little squash blossoms. They made for some nice sausage and cheese rellenos though.

Thanks! I stuffed them with chopped up bratwurst, shredded sharp cheddar, a lil mayo, and some ancho chile. They're dredged in flour and then egg.

[hunter63]

[crashdive123]

Woo Hoo! Food porn is back. Good to see you again GS.

Thanks, crash! A lot of changes have been going on in my life, but the dust is settling now, and I can finally get back into the kitchen.

Good to see you GS. Let the drooling begin.

[crashdive123]

Good to see you GS. Let the drooling begin.

Good to see you too.

[LowKey]

GS, or anyone, can you give a step by step on cooking squash flowers? I haven't been able to make anything out of them that remotely resembles anything I want to eat. And I eat everything. I'm sure it's a simple thing to dredge em and fry em. But I can't make them palatable. And I have a LOT of squash flowers right now. LOL

[grrlscout]

wash them and pluck out the stamina. I like to stuff them with cheese - especially goat cheese.

a good trick is to put them in the freezer for a few minutes while the oil heats up. It should be pretty dang hot but not smoking hot.

You can do a tempura batter - I like to use flour, cornstarch, and club soda. Or just egg. Or in this case, I did flour, and then I used egg and milk.

Pop em in the oil and keep rolling them around until golden brown
