What's Cookin? motor city kitty edition

well we seem to have a biggy ahead of us. troit at home is hard to handle. injuries all over the place. probably a game we win then. we need a secret weapon meal for this one. i'm thinking some good ol pulled pork sammies. the sauce will be decided at a further date. hopefully can find some good hard rolls.

 

Hmm…

This is going to require some deep thought

But beer will be involved

 

Possibly haluski, just have a taste for it right now. Will have to consult with someone of the right ethnicity to make it correctly. I have no slavic blood, but love the food.

 

Big storm brewing in the Northern MN wonder if the team will fly out early?




We will be making hot oatmeal and hot chocolate for the next few days.

 

Butter and more butter
Sauté a lot of onions
Roughly chopped cabbage cooked but not limp
Egg noodles
More butter
Salt and pepper

 

Don't know if it will be Saturday or Sunday, but I got some rack of lamb from Aldi ($9/lb instead of the ~$16/lb at my local warehouse store)!

Going to be cooking that up.

I generally do it pretty simple. Easy rub (probably just salt and pepper, maybe a little chili powder). Sear. Bake low and slow until internal temp of 125 F - 130F.

I like rack of lamb, but it doesn't make sense at $16/lb. I'd rather get a ribeye at that price..tastes better and not paying for the bones. Although I'd rather just get an under blade steak (I think the same as a Denver steak) for ~ $8/lb than paying for ribeye these days.

But at almost half the price it's an easy decision IMO. If this is their regular price, I might add this to a weekly rotation. Thinking of doing the carnivore diet in January (did that last year and lost some fat). And a rotation of rack of lamb, underblade steaks, and a bunch of eggs sounds pretty good.

 

Do you use any sour cream or ricotta cheese? I have heard of using both.

 

I got there two weeks ago and they were 50% off. Bought 7 at $4.99/lb. I have a freezer for just that reason.

 

A Faygo with Better Made potato chips.

 

use both, can't hurt. make it your own. gotta ricotta.

 

Probably not the response you want but now that I’m retired I enjoy sitting on my hill with a fire and looking out at a winter storm.

 

The Hunkies I grew up with did not but I could see that being a nice addition

 

Im stuck at work getting paid to watch the snow come down because no trucks are leaving in this storm lol. On the plus side it puts off the chore of clearing snow at home later.

 

Back in the day I heated up meals by sitting them on the top of a coke oven



And long ago I would heat cans of soup on my engine block while driving

 

That is called a 'signal fire' and means that there is an impending attack.
