Yesterday I slow roasted a shoulder of pork then shredded it and fried it up with beans and chilli etc. I also cooked saffron rice with black beans. Guacamole etc.

We had burritos.

The kids were happy.

Tonight we had the same. I made a lot.

I am making some chicken fajita type stuff tonight. I don't have tortillas, so I don't want to call them actual chicken fajitas!

Long time reader, first time poster.

Tonight we are dining on hamburger/sausage burgers with all the trimmings (onion, tomato, lettuce), and bushes baked beans. Oh, the bushes with maple.

1LB of extra lean ground beef
1LB of jimmy dean regular sausage
2 tbl spoons of worcestershire sause
1/3 of teaspoon of ground black pepper
1/2 cup of ground parmesan cheese

6 patties. seared and browned on a cast iron skillet, then put into the oven on the skillet at 400 degrees for about 3-4 minutes...which ever seems best.

Yum! Yum!

Notes:
- I usually do 425, but some recipes say 450
- Parchment paper is for anti-sticking and easy clean up
- My fries end up more like steak fries than shoestring
- Not much olive oil is needed. I use maybe a tsp. I find this makes a huge difference, though.
- I do spicy seasoning if I want bacon cheese fries (or an excuse to eat ranch) or garlic and salt for normal fries
- This usually takes me about 40-45 minutes. I usually start out by checking at 20-15 minutes and going by sight.
- You can turn halfway through to get even browning, but I am too lazy


Hope that helps And that you like them!!
Did these last week. Like them a lot.

Last night I had sweet potato and asparagus with homemade sweet and smoky bacon sauce. Imma have it again tonight

For the sweet and smoky bacon sauce:

Cubed bacon pieces fried in plenty of butter; add a teaspoon of plain flour to soak up the butter, then a glug of milk and half a teaspoon of honey, stirring continuously.

It was funny at first, but you don't realize how much you are hurting yourself and others with your constant focus on cauliflower.

We will support you if you choose to get help. However, if you choose to keep going down this road, we can no longer, I can no longer, be there when it all falls apart.

Yes, it was amusing at first. A little cauliflower, a little giggle. But then you started steaming it. Then you started roasting it. You know the only way this can end, if you do not get the help you need right now. Soon, you will be consuming cauliflower pies and cauliflower cookies. You have already started trying to conceal cauliflower by stiffing it into quesadillas. If it's so harmless, as you say, why do you feel the need to hide it?

@regular.joe - I love onion buns!!!

Tonight is something with hot sausage (that's what she said). I bought it for lasagna soup, but I might just saute one with peppers and onions, mix with sauce, and serve with pasta
