Made dinner for my step mom's 63rd birthday. Frenched a bone in pork loin roast from some local hog, did a poached lobster in saffron burre blanc, some veggie roll up things Cyndie found on facebook, (sheesh), parmesan risotto, and lemon crème brulee tart with a shortbread crust.

Sorry, that could have been misinterpreted. I meant for it to read like you had devoured it before anyone else had a chance, not that it was unworthy

Sounds yummy. I am trying to figure out what to eat as a treat on Thursday this week. I go in for a follow up PET scan and they will pump me full of glucose and take me out of Ketosis. So I'm thinking a big plate of Mexican food with Chips and salsa. Then a Flan (sp?). But I still have time to decide. LOL

Good luck on the PET. If you are near Minneapolis, hit up Salsa a la Salsa. It's a little more fancy pants than your typical MX restaurant, but I've heard a lot of good things about the chef.

My sugar has been elevated for last couple months and as such I am doing no carb and working out daily. This stuff looks great Nate! Too bad I can't use a grill at my town home rental currently. Told the wife once it warms up a bit I am taking the smoker to the shop and will be doing some cooking there in the meantime until new house is ready!

Went to what has quickly become a “go to” restaurant for me in Grand Rapids last night. Zeytin Turkish Restaurant. Had a Turkish salad, Iskender (lamb) and a nice helping of baklava

Rolled back to the hotel afterward.

Nate,

Crockpot lasagna, never used a recipe but this one is close enough, https://www.thecountrycook.net/crock-pot-lasagna/

however we do not use cottage cheese, we use the larger of the two tubs of ricotta available at our store and of course mozzarella!

Here’s how I do it:

Brown meat (like to use sausage and hamburger) with seasonings of your preference

Layer in crockpot;

Sauce/meat, small amount of cheese, noodles

Repeat! But increase cheese to normal lasagna amounts, the bottom is just because it’s nice to have it everywhere

Use a little more than normal amount of sauce in the layers as that’s where the noodles get their moisture.

Break noodles to fit best you can.

Slow cook until done. 4-5ish hours.

Sorry for the lack of recipe, I dont often make things from recipes. Which is probably why we only eat simple stuff :)

So .... prime brisket from Costco on sale 3.99 per pound.

Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne.

225 for about 9-1/2 hours crutched at 165 and then pulled at 206.

4 hours rest and BOOM!  Best brisket I’ve ever made. Super moist and tender.  Bark was ok but expected not to be as good a bark since crutched

Did some sesame ginger chicken dumplings with an apricot and sambal chili sauce and some shoyu ramen for friends on Sunday
Making a dashi broth from scratch was really just a basic chicken stock then adding the Asian stuff; dried kelp, dark soy and mirin. turned out pretty darn tasty.
