I also made some tomato jam, using the Super Sioux from the garden. MMM MM good!

Recipe

I didn't bother seeding or peeling the tomatoes, and it was still perfectly delicious.

Mmmmm, mmmmmm!:tongue_smilie:

Stopped in at an ethnic store yesterday - a place where they have a kitchen in the back. Got myself a couple of pounds of deep fried smoked bacon - chunks about 2" thick by 3" wide by 6" long. Oh yeah, also got myself a big fresh round loaf of bread and some fresh cheese. Butter on the bread, a cold beer........

Only ate a pound of the bacon, so I still have some left!

Finished it off with a large fried dough (malasada) from the same place.

I think I told y'all about frying up some taters and green beans, in bacon grease, but I needed a quick "meal" the other day, so this is what I did.

Rendered a few pieces of bacon. Drained 1 can of diced taters, and 2 cans of green beans, and fried them in the bacon grease. Diced up some left over ham, (some....as in a bunch.) and threw it in there, with the saved bacon, and finished frying it all up. Now that was a meal! LOL:blushing:

Well you're kinda off topic too, counselor, considering you weren't cooking anything.

That's correct. That's what cooking is. And can we agree that there are countless methods of cooking available?

Now think about this: I began applying heat to the meat AND the butter the instant I took them out of the fridge, didn't I? :sneaky2:

I guess you're cooking just by having a pulse.

Looks good, no question about it. If I were on death row and my time was up, I'd certainly have it as part of the menu.

Saturday, I made pork chops with garlic scape buttermilk mashed potatoes, and salad. Unfortunately I forgot to take pics, and there were no survivors.

For dessert, blueberry buttermilk cake:

I highly recommend it, and you can use any berry you have on hand:
http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/05/ra...ttermilk-cake/

The next morning, I used some of the leftover mashed potatoes to make a potato pancake for breakfast, with cottage cheese and homegrown tomato to go with:

Last night was just some cheap steak, that I marinated for about an hour, and then flung in the grill pan for a couple minutes. The real star was the parmesan polenta that went with. The medium or coarse grind cornmeal stuff is really the key. Some overly mature asparagus on the side:

Since it's Monday, and I forgot to get anything out of the freezer, nothing special tonight.

For supper, I had chicken salad (that I made.) on saltines. Not exactly bacon sammich's, but not bad for semi-healthy stuff.:innocent: LOL

Blackened on purpose I am afraid. I don't like eating charcoal if I don't have to. It's funny that you ask about the blackened part. Most people ask about the dolphin part.
