What's on your plate today?

I make one every Sunday, with whatever I happen to have on hand. Used some leftover mac 'n cheese to make one a couple weeks ago and it turned out gloriously delicious! But they wouldn't come out of the pan onto the cutting board all pretty like that until I bought a Calphalon skillet!

I had my friends over for an Oktoberfest party. In addition to grilled brats and knackwurst, dumplings, saurkraut, and my mom's potato salad, I tried doing schweinhaxen but couldn't find the actual pork shank at any of the supermarkets, so I grabbed a couple slabs of pork leg that I found and hoped for the best.

Before:

And after about 4 hours in the oven:

The meat turned out great however only about half the skin turned out crispy. The rest was leathery and chewy and ended up getting tossed as I ran out of time before people started showing up.

I just got back from the Maine coast. I'm scalloped, lobster and clamed out! The rib looks delicious, however.

I love love having scallops or lobster with steak. Heck I could go for some again right now! On a side note, the nature of that meat made me want to pick it up and wack someone in the face with it :D
 
Lunch for staff appreciation. Chipotle catering. It's not steak and lobster, but being not in the private sector, we don't often get free lunches. It's greatly appreciated.
 
Baked a carrot cake for my birthday, it was damn good, no picture unfortunately. Being the only baker in the house, it's either I make something I want or I'll get a sheet cake from the local bakery :)

How else would you make a carrot cake?

The Kogi food truck was down the street from me yesterday evening. Had to stop by and have 2 spicy pork tacos, 2 short rib tacos, and their blackjack quesadilla. Phenomenal as always. Currently eating a salad that's not quite as good.
 
Just picked up my son from school. He has requested a trip to the pizza buffet. After he decompresses a bit. Hope I don't eat too much....:rolleyes:
 
Son wanted pizza again after spying the Buffalo Mozzarella in the fridge. Made a Margherita. Damned delicious.

I wonder if folks here know that the pizza you made was named after the first Queen of Italy, Marghherita, Umberto I's wife. It's red, white and green for a reason. My oldest Uncle was named for Umberto. Margherita means daisy in Italian. It has nothing to do with the drink.

You guys eat well. Living here in Hillbillyville I have never heard of a lot of what you describe, and I bet it delicious.

I bought a marked down sirloin this morning, cubed it up and made beef and noodles, garlic mashed potatoes (for the bottom of the bowl) and a dozen Rhodes Rolls. Cheap comfort food.

Usually a make a frittata every Sunday, but yesterday I got my Southern on and made sausage gravy over biscuits with fried eggs on top . . . and bacon on the side! :eek:

Only thing I ate all day, too. Gods. There's a reason I don't eat like that all the time, and it's called "not weighing 500 pounds!" o_O

But I had a couple big biscuits left, so I started my day with bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits. Like McMuffins done right. :cool:

Got some thick cut pork ribeye steaks I'm going to do something with later.

That stuff sticks to your ribs. First time I had it was working watermelons as a teen. Our "Crew", a bunch of High School friends, used to sleep in one of the members big sun room.
His house was right in Farm country. Saved a lot of time (more sleep). His mom made it for us every morning. I liked it, but I also noticed that I could go a long time before getting hungry again. Chuck watermelons during the day, pack Tomatoes into trucks in the eve. Go drinking. What a life.
