Green-spring garlic potato soup and sour dough bread.

I'm making drumsticks again. I was going to make hoisin sauce for them, but I really enjoyed them just baked with kosher salt the last time, so that's how I'm making them again. Maybe I'll have a little salad with them, too. And some nice iced tea.

I love to throw drumsticks or thighs on the grill, just seasoned with k-salt and black pepper. Simple and delicious.

I made some more BB Rib meat tacos, based on my late night snack last night.

Fresh flour tortillas from the HEB bakery, the meat from one BB rib per taco, some queso quesadilla (a melty Mexican cheese similar to Mozzarella), and some thin sliced sweet onions (Texas 1015s).

Sorry, I didn't think to take a picture... again.

Had a T-bone steak. Admit to being over zealous, pan too hot and cook too impatient. Do not care for rare steak - ate most of it anyway.... BAD DRAGN - WHACK! WHACK again! Now, go cower in your cave!

 

[Kathleen]

We went out with friends to a steakhouse. So I had steak with a sweet potato and string beans. Frank had steak, salad, and fries. We both enjoyed chocolate cake at home later.

Bought a loaf of Italian bread from the supermarket and I'm using half of it tonight to make French bread pizza with ham, pineapple and green bell pepper.

 

[Andy M.]

I grilled some "chinese" sausages and made some of Dragon Lady's Sesame noodles.

Set a timer - 4 minutes on the first side, 3 minutes on the second for perfect medium-rare.

 

[cjmmytunes]

Chicken noodle soup with carrots and onions, Sociables crackers, white grapes for dessert.

 

[taxlady]

I was all pooped out, so I just heated some lentil and veggies soup. I had some of my heavy Danish rye bread, rugbrød with that. I was hungry again an hour later, so I had an omelet of a duck egg and some feta.

 

[Aunt Bea]

TGI Friday frozen chicken wings with celery and carrot sticks, Ken’s lite blue cheese dressing for dipping and a glass of sugar free lemonade.

 

[msmofet]

Last night I had pan-fried boneless, thin cut strip steak on Italian bread with a light schmear of butter. After the steak was removed from the pan, I placed bread in the pan butter side down to get the fond off the pan and brown it a bit. Had fresh cherries for dessert.

That depends on the thickness. Really thin, overdone. Really thick, blue.

Yes, I should have mentioned that this is for a 1-inch-thick steak.

 

[dragnlaw]

WOW!! A 1-inch thick? LOL, have never bought one of those. To me that's like a roast. LOL

Really? Huh. I never thought it was unusual.

 

[dragnlaw]

I understand what you are saying. That one steak would feed two, correct? That's what you intended. But for me I purchase for me alone, so they are individual steaks that are not sliced off the bone and served.
Aside from the fact I couldn't really afford them with growing kids - I never learned how to cook them to slice like that. Either, in my ignorance, bought the wrong cut, or just plain cooked them wrong. Always came tough - so I never could justify the cost for getting no pleasure.
Now, however, on my own, I'm hitting the bucket list... and learning.

I don't know if I've bought any steaks thinner than one inch. Thin steaks are much harder to cook, especially if your goal is medium-rare.

There are some good YouTube videos on choosing steaks. This guy is a butcher, and his channel if focused on buying meats, and saving money.
