Default Dinner tonight 1/2/2017

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.

Nice, but my friend down under says it's a heat wave where she is
(Brisbane area). I couldn't enjoy stew in that kind of weather.

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them.

True, we were being stewed ourselves until yesterday.

Nice. No cooking here tonight, just some cooked prawns and stuffed
vine leaves.

Good show! I'll have to make beef stew or curry too.

My wife is ill and can't stomach my usual cooking. 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!

your wife recovers quickly.

Well, the original intent was something bland but that was only moderately successful.

Chinese restaurants used to be king around here until around 2000. These days we have a lot more options as far as Asian food goes. Chinese food seems kind of passé. I like Chinese food but the family would rather have Korean or Vietnamese. That's unfortunate for me but the beat goes on.

That is sort of the way I feel about Chinese food. 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.

My kids like Thai. When we go have Thai food I'll just let them order the food because it's unfamiliar territory for me. The kids like the Thai sticky rice but I think it's just plain weird.

The sticky rice is good, but they usually charge a good buck for it.

She was able to eat a little. These days it's like we have a competition to see who can eat the least. Usually, I win.

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.

She was able to eat a little. These days it's like we have a competition to
see who can eat the least. Usually, I win.

I am pleased she ate even a little though. You need to make her favourites.
I am sure she will get better faster if she is eating. You? Pah you are
just ornery ... <g>
