Dayum Mike but that looks good!

Yes sir, it is a dish I like to have once in a while and is very good.

This pic doesn’t look as good as it was since it looks like the brussel sprouts were burned, but they weren’t.

I made pan seared salmon and cooked the brussel sprouts in the air fryer. I added some of the leftover linguine as a side from my previous post but there was no shrimp left in it.

Spaghetti:

The physician staff meeting was last night, and they ate good! I brought home about a third of a tenderloin, about 4 dozen shrimp, some fruit and cheese from one of them charcuterie trays, cheesecake, and some Topo Chico. I was eyeing a bottle of Jack Single Barrel but remember I don't drink.

Anyway, some shrimp with new potatoes and onions made it on the menu tonight!

^^^^^^^^ damn! We're lucky to get fruit cocktail and yogurt cups.

No pics, but it was pork tenderloin with my favorite rib rub on it. I also picked a Zucchini out of my garden, sliced into discs, coated in oil & Parmesan, and oven roasted with tenderloin.

Today I got a vegetable steamer rack (9") and thought I'd try in a frying pan for seafood.

I split a small lobster tail and sectioned 3 King crab legs. My normal spice layering on the lobster tail including the butter. The edges of the rack held them up nicely level. All of it steamed for 8 minutes.

I have to say I was surprised at how good it came out. The tails were... perfect. The crab, also perfect. I think I like this better than baked for lobster tails.

T-Bones on my park grill with hickory splits. What a great night!

I'm jealous.

Fried pork chop



Cooked to 155°F (can't do mid rare on pork), was succulent, juicy, tender, and melted in your mouth. It's been a decade or since I fried a pork chop, I don't know why....

Making cabbage soup with sausage.



I'll post more when it's done.

ArtieS Cabbage Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

Half head cabbage
2 to 2 ½ lbs. kielbasa, smoked sausage, or etc., cut I half moon slices.
Two sweet onions
Half pound baby carrots
Big squeeze prepared minced ginger
Big squeeze prepared minced garlic
1 quart beef broth. Chicken broth is acceptable, but less rich.
Worcestershire Sauce
Tabasco level heat hot sauce
Bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste

Prep:

Rough chop all vegetables. Add all ingredients to crock pot or tall stock pot. Simmer until carrots are tender. Serve as is, or with a garnish of chopped chicken, ham, sausage, or beef, with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese. As always, this is better the next day.

Pre-fry the sausage to brown it for flavor, and to sweat out a high percentage of the fat that you don’t need for the soup.

Made a different recipe version of Artie's cabbage soup today and it was fantastic. This one's a keeper.

I'm very happy that soup season is here.

I absolutely love making soup! I also love cabbage in my soup. Hopefully it will soon start to cool off here to start enjoying a hot soup on a cold day. We are still in the 80’s!!!

Thanks for that cabbage & sausage recipe, Artie.
I do a lot of cooking for my mom and she used to be on Warfarin for a blood thinner for years.
That meant moderate amounts of vitamin K consistently in her daily diet, focusing on regularity.
She's recently had some strokes and is on a new blood thinner that has opened up some new culinary possibilities like cabbage soup. No need to track vit. K.

I've been making up for lost time w/ cabbage recipes and roasted brussel sprouts among other higher vit. K foods.
Bonus points for Kielbasa/other sausage.

ETA: For the sake of "What's for dinner?"
I did two 14" scratch pizzas for my a couple of my friends.

Pancakes and my homemade sausage!









We have been using this recipe for a while, they are very good!

^^^ Have you ever considered adoption?

I neglected to take pics, but today brought the smoking of a half a ham.

Set the electric smoker to 230 degrees, covered the ham with a paste of yellow mustard and some Dizzy Dust seasoning, tossed in a mix of apple and cherry wood chips, and let it do its thing for about 3-1/2 hours.

"Oinkapalooza" was on, but Xantom's pancakes look pretty darned good!

Buffalo shrimp. I cheated and used Frank's Buffalo sauce, not my homemade. I got the Frank's for free, and it's not all that bad ( not as good as mine).

Some home fry with my fry dipping sauce, and blue cheese dressing are celery.

Lamb lollipops.

Marinaded in spicy chimichurri overnight, same stuff I used on lamb. Reverse seared over apple wood, then seared Prime filet mignon from Costco.
