I've got a "Mississippi Roast" in the crock pot. It is a new recipe for me. It is a kind of pulled beef dish. I think I'll make some mashed potatoes and green beans to go with it. Fingers crossed!
 
Our City Council had finally okayed Food Trucks! :w00t2:
A Taco Truck showed up last week at the beginning of our Community, and it's legit!!!

I decided that we'd try a basic Carne Asada on Flour Tortillas, some Pico de gallo and his green Salsa (mild-yeah right!) That was very good, I'd say better even then my favorite Carniceria in town :punk:
 
Smashed potatoes, sauerkraut, onion and garlic powder, mashed together , formed into patties, baked to crispy, served with homemade BBQ sauce. Broccoli w/mustard. Pear-date-raisin-oat cookies.

Looks really tasty. Do you happen to have the links for the recipes handy? If not, I don't mind searching for them here.

I just had a thought. Maybe we need a thread or sub forum for links to favourite DC recipes, with comments and pix.
 
Tonight for supper I took shortcuts. I used a Blue Dragon "Chilli Coconut stir fry sauce" packet with some turkey breast and vegis (carrots, red sweet pepper, and sliced onion), a quick Chinese smashed cucumber side dish, and some leftover brown basmati rice that I cooked several days ago. We both thought that the turkey didn't work quite as well with this as chicken.

I would have turned my nose up at a stir fry packet when I was younger and had more energy. I still often enjoy making the sauce from scratch. But nowadays, there are some really good curry pastes and sauces, made from all food ingredients and they sure are handy.

I also notice that supper was not actually fusion, but almost. Three dishes, each from a different cuisine. In any case, we enjoyed it and I'm pretty sure it was healthy.

Thanks for the links Andy - do have the rolls in print and on rotation. And that Goulash looks mighty fine! Have to check it out again.

I made a rolled Chicken Breast with a Creamy Tarragon stuffing, baked on a bed of carrots and rehydrated leeks.
Constructive criticism - too much stuffing - next time parboil carrots
Flavour was really good - made this several times and each time need to add more notes to my recipe page... LOL live and learn!

I was wondering the same thing, @taxlady

Hey @GinnyPNW how did the roast turn out? You sharing that recipe link with us?
It was good and Mikey loved it. For me, I think I'll make some tweaks on it, when I do it again. Here's the recipe link.

Next time, I think I'll use a good deal of prepared horseradish, instead of the Ranch. I don't think the Ranch came thru too much. Also, I think I would cook on High, instead of low...and check it about 6 or 7 hours - instead of 8 to 10...but I would first cut the roast into large chunks (I used a 4 pound roast, if you use a smaller one, maybe that wouldn't be needed)...it just didn't cook as much as hers seems to have done.
