• Sunday Meat and Potatoes

    From Sqwertz@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 18 19:21:59 2024
    This week's rendition was ham, cabbage, green beans, and red
    potatoes.

    Ham stock was made from teh trimming of a half Fricks ham, in
    which the potatoes and cabbage were simmered. The hugely meaty
    shank was added at the end just to warm up along with green beans.
    Meat was carved off the shank and served with the rich stock,
    hammy potatoes, lightly simmered cabbage quarters (not mushy, not
    raw, not sweet), and green beans.

    2nd best meal off year. It's been pre-covid since we've eaten
    prepared meals from the grocer, take-out, or have dined-in
    anywhere but the one of the houses.

    And for dessert I couldn't resist buying this from the markdown
    shelf at HEB for only $4.60 ($.08/dose). And since they don't sell
    booze on Sundays.

    This will great for when I go to court and have my heart angio
    next week.

    That looks very, very good! I've got a head of cabbage in the refrigerator that
    is calling my name and a package of Farmland slices and end pieces. A bag
    of quite small red potatoes as well, but no fresh green beans.

    By the way, what is the stuff on the plate next to your fork, the 'stringy stuff'?

    Potatoes with some so far-unmelted shredded oaxaca cheese. It's
    only been on there for 6 seconds - Give it a minute.

    The green beans were canned. Which is why they were added at the
    very last minute just to warm up. Which is fine - the potatoes and
    cabbage (and of course the ham) were very hammy already.

    Let's hope his goes better than mine did. I was happily sedated through
    the procedure and clearly remember the doctor saying that my left main
    coronary artery was almost completely blocked but don't worry because he
    was going to clear it out and put in a stent and I would be as good as
    new. The next thing I heard was " Oops. Call a surgeon. Quick. I pierced
    the artery" I also remember them being in such a hurry I had three
    nurses shaving me. A doctor came with a consent form and told me that he
    had to get my consent but said I had to sign it or I wasn't going to
    make it.

    Nothing beats a few uplifting words from Dave Smith.

    I'm using a head of cabbage today for posole. I thought I ought to. The
    outer leaves were getting black spots on them. The chopped cabbage fills
    up a gallon ziplock, so I'm using a bigger pot.

    That is one dish I've never eaten or even seen.


    All that cabbage on the left goes in the pot

    and makes this.

    I shouldn't have to cook for days. Think of pork stoup with hominy,
    cabbage and a can of enchilada sauce as the basics. It may not be
    authentic, but it tastes good. :)
