• Sunday Cooking 3/10/24

    From jmcquown@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 10 15:24:20 2024
    For "breakfast" I heated up a couple of frozen Tennessee Pride brand
    sausage biscuits. Joan is likely the only person here who might be
    familiar with the brand; those little biscuits are tiny! I had a glass
    of milk to go with them.

    I made a pot of quick cooking garlic & olive oil couscous and had a bowl
    of it for lunch.

    Later on I'll be cooking the unnamed dish which consists of browning a
    pound of ground lamb (seasoned with S&P) along with minced garlic.
    Drain the fat, stir in about 8 oz. of frozen baby leaf spinach (not the
    chopped mostly stems frozen block of spinach that has to be thawed and copiously drained), 6 oz. of crumbled feta and grated lemon zest.
    Leftovers for lunch next week. :)

    We will be having leftover KFC with a leftover tomato-cream soup that I
    made to throw shrimp into and call a bisque. Without the shrimp...I did
    that a couple of days ago. :)

    Breakfast was oatmeal. Second breakfast was a couple slices of
    bacon.

    Lunch was a faux cheese steak. Cooked onions, deli roast beef,
    a couple of slices of provolone, some hot cherry-pepper relish,
    salt and copious pepper, served on reasonably fresh white bread.
    A big fermented dill pickle on the side.

    Dinner will be a salad. It might have meat on it; it might not.

    Yes, they are quite small, and my experience is they're rather dry, too.

    I just finished my coconut cake and waiting for it to cool so it can be frosted. I've never had one, but the process reminded me of one of those
    tres leches cakes. The cake gave the appearance of floating out of the
    pan. Not a clue what supper will be.

    I just wait until the next day and all or most all of the outfits are
    posted online. They can be, shall we say, rather interesting and that's
    all I'm going to say.

    The Oscars may be a bit classier, but at earlier events this year it
    seemed to be a contest between women to see who'd show up the most
    naked.

    Oh, that's right. Tonight is The Oscars. I've been watching TCM movies leading up to it. I like looking at the gowns but doubtful I'll watch
    any of it. I have no idea what films or what actors, directors, etc.
    have been nominated. I'll find something else to watch or read a book. :)

    I think we have a chicken to roast. I might need to remind the chef du
    jour that it is getting close to the time she should be thinking about
    putting it into the oven. Maybe she is just waiting for her Annapolis
    Pudding (apple cake) to come out.

    I will pass on the Oscars. I have little interest in the Hollywood self promotion that is more of a popularity contest than a legitimate rating
    system where people don't even have to watch the movies they are voting
    for.

    It was a silly impulse purchase.

    I've never had a tres leches cake. Truly, the only coconut cake I ever
    had was store-bought and the icing was was more like stiff fondant with
    some sweetened flaked coconut. Frosting should be much softer. I hope
    yours turns out well!

    I watched Oppenheimer and it was an ordeal. Emily Blunt deserves her
    Oscar nomination. I also watched Maestro and Carey Mulligan was also
    absolutely superb. Of course they won't win anything - not that it
    bothers me in the slightest.

    They are also overpriced. If you microwave them instead of oven, it might
    make them less dry. I haven't tried any in years, so they may be different now.

    Pork loin roast, baked potato, fried apples.

    The apples are simple fried in butter with a touch of brown sugar and
    cinnamon. Did them a bit different and poured in a glug of Amaretto.
    Yeah, I'll do that again.
