Big Ag is all about shelf life so they waste less....so more preservatives, less natural stuff that can "go bad" which means they have to toss their product. Make your own bread, make you own pasta, it's pennies on the dollar and far healthier. Protein is best from animals (beef, pork and chicken). I always tell the crazy vegetarians that I will look to plants for protein when my eyes move to the sides of my head and my canine teeth fall out. Until then I'm not arguing with millions of years of evolution.

Years ago I saw that lying pos Dan Rather on the Tonight Show and he told a great story about his FIL....seems the FIL was a crusty old cattle rancher (from TX IIRC)...every year Dan and his wife would take him out for his bday to a restaurant. He ate steak pure and simple. Well on his 90th or so bday they took him out and he ordered a huge steak....the waitress asked what vegetables he wanted with it and his response was "Lil lady....vegetables are what food eats!". Always liked that line! Ha.

Just seen these. Going to have to get me some.
It's always a chore pulling the meat apart. These might help.

I'm stuck working an overnight at work. I want lasagna, I hate you. It's foggy and I blame you. I wanna sleep. I think we got it all covered. But on a side note, the lasagna does look good.

Wow. That looks good. I'm working at the weekend place by myself and I chopped up hotdogs and mixed them in with canned chili.   With a side of beer.

Sustenance.  By the time I quit working I'm too beat up and tired to think much about it. Tally from yesterday.  Finger infected and burst open from where I had driven a drywall screw into it enough to have to reverse the drill. Nicked my ankle with the chainsaw. Fell on to the crushed limestone driveway flat on my back. Tweaked my knee. A few cuts from sheetmetal.  Another great day not in the office.....

sounds to me like you may just need to take a break before you test the hardness of the limestone driveway with your back (like don), attempt to remove a limb with the chain saw (like sam) or just flat out end up in the hospital.

Tried and failed. Worst part was the driving in the DENSE fog, followed closely by the HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE gas station coffee I decided to give a chance.

I'm about to finally rack out, been up since 1530 yesterday.

I chopped up hotdogs and mixed them in with canned chili.   

I've done that, more than a few times.

Bobby,  call me next time and i keep you awake until you reach the casa!  Please!

RN knicks, scrapes and cuts are one thing, attempting to amputate a limb  (you and sam) is a whole nother story!

Oh I made it home. Generally after I get off work, I get my second wind until I get home, then it's time to shut down.


Woke up this morning after 10 hrs of sleep and realized I didn't have any more KCups for my Keurig, which means no coffee this morning. Guess I'm shopping after work.

Man. No coffee when you first wake up?  If you're anything like me I'm surprised there wasn't a trail of dead people on the way to the coffee shop. I'm not me until I have coffee.

Worst part was I was at my parent's place and I was going to grab one cup, until I go shopping after work, but forgot it. I woke up this morning, stumbled into the kitchen, and stared at my Keurig. I was in a weird half asleep half awake state trying to figure out why I'm out of coffee.

The good part of that breakfast is the oatmeal should counter the bacon.
Apparently one of the benefits of home cooked oatmeal is it helps lower cholesterol.

And yes bacon consumed at the counter or from the pan never existed.
But when a pound of bacon yields 6 pieces you've been caught.
I have experienced this. Butcher down the way from my place does home smoked applewood pepper crusted thick cut porcine gold! only get 8-12 slices per lb so when we only had 6 to go around...busted.

Are these commercially available products?  Similar ingredients in Ancient Grains cereal from Costco, but not "sprouted" per se.

often kept in the freezer section due to lack of preservatives.

Well breakfast of the supper variety. Didn't know what I wanted, so 3 egg bacon and cheese omlette, at least half a pound of bacon  ;D. Leftover roasted mini spuds, diced and fried in butter.
Topped with a generous portion of Franks extra hot and some salt and pepper, cause the franks doesn't have enough already. Lol.

Had some left over prime rib from a dinner out with Mama. Corn tortillas w/ grilled onion, mushrooms and a little spinach for green. Took some sour cream, horseradish and leftover au jus to make a little crema sauce with cotija cheese. They ate real nice.

I guess I can chime in with my pork loin that I did tonight,


Served with green beans and some pasta,    The pork is the treat I tell you what

First you make a dressing of thyme, olive oil, Fresh  garlic,  some salt and some of the other smell good things that perky nose from the cabinet of deliciousness,
Preheat he oven to 500. Rub your pork with the paste like sauce.  Place in cooking pan of choice and let sit till oven is ready.
Sauce pan now.  Scoop some of your favorite jelly preserve. ( we have grape welches for the kids) about four big soup spoons.  Add four table spoons of red wine vinegar to the mix.   Now it calls for shallots but I never have any and this is where I open bottles and sniff them to see what smells good to me. 
Add a bit of this a bit of that and place all in the suace pan and heat it up.  Be careful it's a lot of sugar in there and that can burn nasty messy into a pan.  Now.  Place pork in oven for six min then remove and pour on your sauce pan and turn over your pork, Save enough sauce for round two and some to go in a dish on the table.  Back in the oven till  it reaches 150 inside temp then remove and add more sauce, let stand then slice and serve.

I love to cook fellas, the trick is doing what tastes good.  My 15 year old step daughter is following me right behind me cooking. It's a great family activity too. I have two step kids 15 G, 8 B I And my two twins.  Dinner is every night and everyone helps

Man that tenderloin looks great! Everybody overcooks them because of pork stigma, but looks like you got it just right! We've been doing a lot of those lately too with beef prices so high. Great work Dave!

I think in the past I would cook it in the oven or the crockpot until it reaches that temp of 165 then pull it out. What I was forgetting was that meat continues to raise in temp and continues to cook after removed from the oven.  So now I pull mine at 145 and let it stand then I check its temp before cutting into it.  Usually pretty consistent with it now.

Ok, here is a weakness of mine. Chicken/shrimp alfredo pasta. I know, heart attack on a plate, but now and then,,,,,,,,,,

I did a nice batch today and took lots of pics if anyone is interested. Added a nice Kirkland green tea and the greens are spinach.

Now that's a pasta salad I could enjoy.  To bad the wife won't eat anything that comes from the water,  I already want to mushrooms in it

Its no salad but it is tasty.

Mushrooms sauteed in butter, olive oil and a garlic/pepper/salt mix. 2 small chicken breasts broiled with the gps mix. Rotini 1/2 wheat-1/2 egg. Chopped spinach for greens and cooked medium shrimp.

Sauce is made with whats left after the mushrooms are dumped into the shrimp. Then add more gps mix and extra ground pepper, 1 package of cheepo alfredo mix, little milk, little parmesan cheese and a nice scoop of cream cheese (this is what makes it) and simmer.

Funny thing is no one really likes it but me,takes a while to make so I don't make it often.

Today is my sons 8th birthday.  He asked for home made ice cream and chocolate sauce.   

you'll have to excuse the garage mess.

Kids today have it so easy.  When I was 8 and wanted ice cream we had to hammer on the hand crank.  No electric churn for us!
Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.
