Shrimp and mushrooms over pasta in a garlic -butter sauce. Very simple and amazingly good. Had a light Sicilian white that went very well with the dish. If you are looking for a light healthy pasta dish, this isn’t it. Whole lotta butter. I apologize for the lousy photography.

Have the in-laws in town this weekend and they made a Sancocho. Wasn’t sure if it belonged here, the In Laws thread, or the Soup thread. In addition to potato, my mother in law actually uses plantains to make these little dumpling/balls that are almost a combination of matzo and gnocchi. They cut the richness of the beef really well.

One of my favorite overall meals. Again, my mil provided a traditional Dominican spread. Pan seared chicken, rice, tostones and a cabbage and onion salad/slaw of olive oil, white wine vinegar and cilantro. And in true Dominican fashion, zero concern about putting part of it in a kids pasta bowl. :lol:

Marinated Flat Iron steak from the egg (with some soaked mesquite added to the fire) with herb-garlic oven roasted potatoes tossed with Pecorino Romano and steamed broccoli tossed with fresh lemon juice. (Chilean cab from Cousino Macul on the side.) Flat Iron Steak is rapidly becoming one of my favorite cuts. The flavor is excellent and it is sooo easy to grill. It has to be marinated and cut on a bias, but it’s absolutely worth the extra time the night before. (Marinade was a recent find; EVOO, balsamic, soy sauce, Worcestershire, garlic, fresh rosemary, Dijon & honey.)

Nice
When flat iron goes on sale I’ll buy a bunch and freeze it as is. It thaws well. Just be sure to season it and stab repeatedly to tenderize it. It’s great fajita meat. You are right about cutting it on the bias. Very important.

Sunday lunch after church...

E41E02AC-10AB-4603-986B-BCB57066928A.jpeg

...Seared tuna tacos. Lettuce, a little cheese, grilled onions, some pickled jalapeños (grew them in the garden last year and daughter put them up), and some fresh crema with lime zest and juice, salt and pepper, and a southwestern spice blend. Got the tuna just under and the whole get up was pretty tasty. There’s a place at Mexico Beach called Killer Seafood that got us hooked on that preparation of tuna. Would’ve been better with a couple of cool ones, but it’s Sunday, so...

;)

Slow cooker Chuck roast, potatoes, carrots and mushrooms.

We made the same thing last night but in the ninja foodi pressure cooker. Started at 4:30pm and eating by 6:30pm. Even more tender than the crockpot.

Also made an apple pie with honey crisp apples and a crumbly sugar topping.

I actually never stab it. I just marinade it overnight in a zip-loc bag in the fridge. Turns out just fine every time. Totally agree with the freezing comment.

You may try slow cooking at 250F or less for a long time.
Then right before you are to temp...jack the heat to 500F+ and cook just long enough to brown the surface.

This past Sunday it was my Son-in-Law's Birthday.

No Photo's but we had:
  • Boiled Crawfish with Sausage, Corn, Mushrooms, and Sweet Potatoes all Seasoned to perfection
  • Smoked Grilled Oysters on the Half-shell in Garlic Butter and Parmesan
  • Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail
  • Stuffed Artichokes w/ Pork Sausage
  • Sweet Heat Cream Cheese
  • King Cake One Stuffed with Andouille Sausages and another with Boudin Sausage...Glazed with pepper jelly and bacon (My wife and I made these)
  • Salad with Pepper Jelly Vinegarette Dressing
  • Ice Cream Cake
  • Strawberries in Champaign
I had Iced Tea but the adult beverages were flowing...and kids...loads of kids

NOBODY wore a mask...NOT ONE.

Now tell me how bad South Louisiana is?
