What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

[lxskllr]

You ate all those lentils already?! :^O

 

[FireFighterZero]

They didn't grade very well.......I might be eating the shit out of them.

 

[lxskllr]

How do they grade lentils? Where did yours fall short?

 

[FireFighterZero]

They had some mechanical damage.

 

[Fiddler]

Pork chops & Wheat Chex

 

[lxskllr]

Bummer Jim. Is this a failed experiment, or a learning experience? Gonna do lentils again?

 

[FireFighterZero]

It was a symptom of the drought.

Some insect damage as well due to drought.

We will keep raising what ever MIGHT turn a profit.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Man...I wish I had a can of Nalley Original.....and a spoon.


Dang...that stuff is good. Well....if you are drunk and the can is cold.

 

[stig]

Jim, you ever do sourdough hotcakes or squawbread?

I learned that when I buckarooed in Idaho.

Goooooooooooooooooooooood!

 

[FireFighterZero]

No.

We have never taken the plunge and gotten a starter started.

The old woman that lived next to my grandmother had a famous starter.

People would come from miles around to eat her pancakes or get a little bit of her starter.

It was over 100 years old.

Sourdough sure is good though.

Whenever I have friends, who have traveled in the US and have had those crappy breakfast pancakes, you get for breakfast in Denny's or such places, I ask them over and do some sourdough flapjacks, fried in a cast iron skillet.
That is a hit, every time!

I’ll have to mention this to my dad. At least a few times a year he makes sourdough bread from scratch, and a bit more rarely he’ll do pancakes from scratch.
Sounds great.

 

[FireFighterZero]

We make our pancakes from scratch at least.

They are a lot better than the mixes.

 

[stig]

But only knee high to sourdough.

 

[lxskllr]

I just use mix. I usually add some other kind of grain to it also. I particularly like rough cut cornmeal. Maybe 10%. I don't make pancakes often though. It's kinda like candy for breakfast.

 

[FireFighterZero]

But only knee high to sourdough.

Grandpa used to add beer to his pancakes once in a while.


It was popular at the annual Mothers Day Breakfast.

 

[lxskllr]

Fried spam in a can of Caribbean rice and beans with lots of El Yucateco hot sauce.

 

[flushcut]

Beef tenderloin crusted with rosemary, caraway, garlic powder, majorm, thyme, and S+P, mashed red taters, with onions and baby bell shrooms in a parmesan red wine reduction cream sauce.

 

[FireFighterZero]

 

[FireFighterZero]

Home made corned beef.

Cabbage, onion,carrots and potatoes.

 

[flushcut]

Yum!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Funny thing is that its one of the most expensive mealsnwe eat.


When I buy a brisket....the yield is only about half. Lots of trim to get it ready for the cure.

I bet this peasant dinner is over 10 bucks a plate!

 

[flushcut]

Yeah that's the down side to brisket lotsa trim and you're paying for the fat cap.

 

[Burnham]

How do you make the corned beef, Jim? I've always wondered, but never pursued the answer.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Well, you corn it....
