Brown rice/quinoa bowl with some rotisserie chicken and veg. Some undressed super greens on the side. Really been enjoying having a Doctor Goodwin (Dr. Pepper analog) Olipop with dinner. Really caps the meal off nicely.
I grabbed fast food and ate in the car. It’s the saddest dinner I’ll have this week but I do it every Monday so I’ll have enough time to shower and play with my dog for a bit between getting home from work and my weekly D&D game.
I made a vegetable stock from scratch with onions, garlic, carotts, parsnip, olive oil, salt and pepper, added a potato for the texture and once done completed it with cream, sour cream, mushrooms and green peas.
Finally I added some carob gum, because it was intended to be served as sauce rather than soup.
The side order was basmati rice.
Can’t say that I was disappointed.
I don’t think it’s possible to get that old “school lunch” or banquet consistency while keeping the food somewhat real so I guess the biggest “gripe” was the gravy. It was still pretty good though! Just didn’t recapture that.
I made some pork tenderloin recently. Came out a little dry even though I took it out right as it got 150° unfortunately, but it’s still good if you put the juices over it before eating.
Hmm, interesting.
So I had Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes tonight. Anybody else have anything good?

Oof, that’s a lot healthier than mine lol

It’s only sad if you make it sad. Make it a pregame ritual and get pumped!

Did you make it from scratch?
Yeah, like I said :)
Goshdarnint, I was trying to ask about the other person’s salisbury steak 👿
It’s WAY funnier reading it twice in a row though. You should just ask everyone this question.
I tried making hamburgers with ground goat, just for the hell of it. They were surprisingly good, the meat was too lean for a good hamburger though.
Try it again with added fat, maybe?

Did you make it from scratch?
Yeah, and if I’m being totally honest, it’s not as good as banquet lol
Edit: the Salisbury steak, I mean. The mashed potatoes are WAY better.
OK, challenge accepted. What recipe did you use?

You probably needed to add MSG
Likely. I really don’t use it much, because most things I cook don’t really need it. But that definitely could’ve used some extra flavor.
I’m doing steaks myself, but I ended up a little short on cook time so they are a little tough.

My grandpa made really good tenderloins, added lemon pepper with a squeeze of lemon. So good. It’s one of his recipes I never got out of him. :(
