A big freeze came a couple weeks ago, so I got gifted a ton of grapefruits and lemons. I made...
Lemon-Avocado sherbet:

Grrlscout, when are you going to start your cooking tv show?
I still have the occasional flashback to the misquite pancakes and cactus syrup GS brought us back in October.
Food related PTSD of the positive kind.
This ain't cookin', assemblin' may get me a by.
Cucumber, radish, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, red pepper flake, alfalfa/clover sprouts. I need to work on the presentation, maybe stir the spouts into the cottage cheese.

Where's the requisite glass of wine at?
I just didn't think the Styrofoam incident deserved the credit.

Baked beans and ham with homemade bread. The beans have been slow-cooking all day and are just about done.
We have dinner reservations to a nice old-fashioned neighborhood Italian with corny live Italian music.
Don't know if I can make it til then...y'all are making me hungry.
It's the food that counts!Quote:

We had meatless Wednesday. So it was veggie curry - cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, onions, peas, turnips, and lentils, with pita bread.

Belly-filling and full of flavah!
For dinner on Easter I will be smoking a pork butt roast, baked sweet potatoes, roasted sweet corn and making a green salad.
Not my first choice for Easter dinner but by request I am making a family favorite of boneless country pork ribs with apples ,kraut and onions in an apple cider gravy, done in the crock pot.
Ed
Sounds good, would like to have the recipe for the apple cider gravy?Quote:

Nice Grrlscout. How'd you get those biscuits looking so good?
I made orange marmalade glazed pork chops, rice and green beans.
Welder , the gravy is actually made from the drippings/juice from the boneless pork ribs, I guess the whole recipes would help, huh :-/ . Start with a couple pounds of bonless pork ribs, a large bag of sour kraut drained , a large onion sliced, 2-3 apples peeled cored and sliced , I prefer granny smith, a couple table spoons of brown sugar and a cup of apple cider or apple juice , either works well. Start by layer the onions, kraut, ribs and apples into a good size crockpot, then sprinkle over with the brown sugar and pour over the apple cider/juice. I find that cooking on low for 6-7 hrs works best , for my crockpot. When done thicken juice with corn starch/flour. A good loaf of rye or pumpernickle bread goes well with it .
Thanks! I used a variant of Bittman's recipe for buttermilk / yogurt biscuits.Quote:

1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
5 Tablespoons cold butter
3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons greek yogurt, thinned with a little milk - or regular yogurt. I just happened to have greek. You could also use buttermilk.
Cut the butter into smal cubes, and chill thoroughly.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Combine your dry ingredients. Add butter and work it in with your hands, until it's a fine crumble. Or you can pulse it in a food processor.
Stir in yogurt just until dough comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Dough will be sticky. Knead dough 10 times and shape into a rectangle, 3/4-inch thick.
Cut with a biscuit cutter, or make as drop biscuits. Dough should yield about 10 to 14 biscuits.
Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until golden brown.
Thanks for posting the recipe !!Quote:

This gourmet presentation will be washed down with a tall ice cold glass of Ovaltine Chocolate Milk.
