What are you eating? 2020

Left the crock pot on all night and the house smells delightful. NY strip with baby carrots, celery, tart cherry tomatoes and a few Yukon gold potatoes. I had to use up a big veggie tray that we picked up for two bucks. I ended up with plenty for the crock pot and five bags for snacking. Just a wee bit of salt, white pepper and paprika as the veggies are the real star of the show. So is it stew or gruel, but it is nice and thick with out being overcooked.

soon to be Schwan #404 bake, #755 bulk corn nuke & all to TV & continue following the golf. Ice cream on a stick & store brand tea later, probably watching 60minutes show

This evening it was...Chicken Pot Pie.

I have been thinking about chicken, turkey or beef pies. Been too long.

Best onion rings ever and I couldn't finish a half-order. There was gravy, but not enough to cover the steak and my wife had to eat the half I brought home dry. 😁🤠
They brought out a plate of lemon slices for the table, thinking of the tea of course. I don't like lemon with the schnitzel.

Schnitzel comes with brown gravy. At least the Jager Schnitzel does. CFS is heavier and more crust in my experience. Of course I have only eaten Schnitzel in Fredericksburg TX. In Germany they might well make it exactly like CFS.

soon to be Schwan #481, one cycle in toaster. Usual adds, nuke to plateful of mess. That + k-cup cocoa & all to smoking room desk, eat & continue with the papers. Wifie chauffeuring to two medical places later keeping ye olde man busy

WITH LEMON !

Lunch was elk sausage- a bratwurst style, local elk, and more of my bean soup. I think one more meal and it will be gone.  Except for the two quarts in the freezer. 

Elk is the only game meat my wife will eat.
Friend from Montana sent us some, no grassy, wild taste at all.

I made a 5 pound pork roast into pulled pork with the Instant Pot. Had to do 2 runs.

I don't think I ever heard anyone complain about burgers being too thick. I guess it is possible, theoretically.

All depends on what they have been eating. I suspect yours were feeding on grass and alfalfa just like cattle.

Chicken breasts and who cares cause its chicken and no matter what you do it will still taste like chicken. Larry i only make thick hamburgers as well it the only size my hamburger pressing hands come in. I make my personal hamburger almost raw in the middle but that depends on the quality of the meat. But then I like steak tartare, liver pate and other forms of moving meat. As for the Germans in Tejas if one goes to the LBJ Museum they have a 1860s German homestead on the grounds. Seems they pretty much lived off off cream cheese, eggs and veggies from the garden and what ever wild game of the day. Of course hams were cured in the fall.
