What's on your plate today?

Went & picked peaches & pears from a friends orchard yesterday.
Peach & pear cake with almonds, vanilla ice cream, home made whipped cream with a side of sliced peaches. OMG!

A recent study concluded that a happy pie is a tasty pie - and that hand-picked blackberry pies are 21% happier than apple pies.

Well, my wife would agree to the Blueberry, while I prefer the apple ( but there is a trick to Apple, use a mix Granny Smith and a good red equally ), the taste difference is Good.

Putting some of the apples from our tree to use.

Pork Osso Buca with Polenta

 

[rbbrock]

Using up some more apples, and enough extra crust to use some raspberries as well.

Smoked chicken leg quarters with sautéed veggies. I was surprised by how delicious his was for such a simple dish.

Going to be grilling some burgers tonight and figured I'd try some homemade buns. I haven't had one yet, but went with Everything but the Bagel on top, excited to see how they taste. Don't mind the dirty cookie sheet, it is clean!

Elk fajitas / burritos. And Mexican street corn.

That's called seasoning, not dirty

Breakfast Friday morning was unique but delicious! Mini tacos cooked in the pie iron over a fire.

 

[bfreebern]

Homemade Tomato/Basil soup, some sourdough grilled cheeses. First time making tomato soup, so we'll see how it goes. Added a few pictures.

First time making fried green tomatoes. Not as flavorful as I had hoped. Back to the drawing board.

Yeah I've tried a few times, it's just not that great IMO. I get why they were a thing when food was a much larger portion of a family's budget, but these days they're not worth the effort to me. The way things are going, though, that may change!

Figured it was worth playing with because my tomato season is coming to an end and I have a bunch of stubborn green tomatoes. I'll toss most of them in a bag to ripen and experiment with the rest.

I agree with your last statement. It always pays to learn the tricks before we need them.
