Had my fill of turkey, ham and such, so tonight a simple beef stew
consisting of rutabaga, potatoes, carrots and beef stew meat dredged in flour and browned. Spiced with salt & pepper, chili powder, a bit of Italian spice, garlic salt, paprika and a touch of BBQ spice. Four hours in the slow cooker on high using two scant cups of water and it was ready. One of the best that I had ever made. The veggies were not over-done, the meat was tender and flavorful. The only thing I missed was a bit of celery but everything else was fine. ==== |

I made pork chops tonight. When I was a kid, I used to make pork chops by simmering it in canned cream of whatever soup. These days I don't like it that way because it made the chops kind of rubbery and tough but I needed to prepare the chops in a bland way. The chops were dredged in flour and browned in oil till lightly browned. A large onion was browned in butter - around 5 minutes. The chops were laid on top of the onions and some chicken stock was added and the chops were simmered slowly. The idea was very gentle heating of the meat. After 30 minutes, the gravy was made with the pan juices using a roux base. Treating the chops gently makes for a very tender pork chop. I actually like it that way! https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/...SixW3b7BJGyiFW |

The chops were dredged in flour and browned in oil till lightly browned. A large onion was browned in butter - around 5 minutes. The chops were laid on top of the onions and some chicken stock was added and the chops were simmered slowly. The idea was very gentle heating of the meat. After 30 minutes, the gravy was made with the pan juices using a roux base. Treating the chops gently makes for a very tender pork chop. I actually like it that way! https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/...SixW3b7BJGyiFW ===== Looks very tasty. We had Chinese food from a gift card, it was good. I hope your wife recovers quickly.

I tried Japanese food but I was not impressed. I have not tried Korean but had my first exposure to Vietnamese food last year. I was expecting it to be like Thai and it really disappointed. If going out for dinner now, Thai is my first choice. |

The kids like the Thai sticky rice but I think it's just plain weird. ![]() |

I don't care for it because it's made from sweet mochi rice i.e., glutinous rice. My favorite rice is Korean rice. Japanese rice is too sticky, Chinese rice is too dry. |
