All the kids and grandkids come over tonight. Young son cooked us shrimp and grits with a bacon sauce. And blackened catfish! I'm gonna go get another plate!!
Grass fed beef medallions on the grill, rare, (seasoned with a touch of garlic, sea salt and cracked pepper). Portobello, shiitake and oyster mushrooms sauteed in cast iron w/butter and olive oil, seasoned with garlic, pepper and a touch of Lawry's and a splash of white wine, (CA Chardonnay), ear of fresh, native corn, and the obligatory glass or two of 12yr old Dickle over rocks. About as simple as it comes....on a cooler evening I would have thrown in a boiled red potato with butter sea salt and pepper...and an extra finger of Dickle!
Had a late lunch...the downtown area of my city had a food truck rodeo today and I went and got the best crab cake sandwich I've ever eaten in my life.
I'm still full, so the kids are having leftover carnitas and rice for supper tonight.
Hubby's mouth is feeling better after his oral surgery, so I'm back to cooking.
Tonight is a version of Campbell's chicken rice casserole. I braised turkey thighs in reduced sodium broth with poultry seasoning, bay leaves, and onion/carrot/celery/garlic. When they were done, I cooled the thighs and separated the broth. Used the broth in place of the water in the recipe. Added a diced carrot, half a pound of baby bella mushroom slices, half of a sweet onion (small dice), a couple tablespoons of minced garlic, rice, a bit of parmesan cheese, kosher salt, lemon pepper, onion powder, paprika, 1/2 cup of Mexican sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, the shredded turkey thighs, and about 1/2 cup of cooked chopped spinach. Mixed all together, and baking now. Will serve with steamed broccoli on the side.
(Clean-out-the-fridge night, hence the odds and ends recipe. Grocery shopping tomorrow. )
Country style ribs with home grown green beans. Almost thought I wouldn't get any green beans this year because the rabbits kept eating them. Then I got the idea to put a rubber rattlesnake out in the garden, and voila! No more lost green beans!
