Saturday: Chinese-style broccoli beef with confetti rice.
This stuff sure looked good in the wok:
Sunday: Seared pork tenderloin with butternut squash, apple compoté and potato-cabbage colcannon.
Menu Thread for Weekend of 10/23/2009
Pasta é Fajiole has been discussed.
Either grilled pork loin chops or pulled pork would be good since we have a lot of frozen pork loin on hand.
UPDATE: The weather will be too warm for soup, so we’re exchanging the Pasta é Fajiole for Chicken Fried Steak made from beef tenderloin. The pork is still on, but will be in the form of tacos carnitas.
Saturday: Shredded pork soft tacos – cheddar, lettuce and tomatoes inside with salsa or ranch dressing.
Sunday: Chicken fried steak made from beef tenderloin, broccoli, country-style green beans with bacon and mashed taters/gravy.
Sunday breakfast bonus: Cheddar/avocado/ham/tomato omelet.
Vacation Chicken Dinner
This was the main course for today’s camping adventure. Anointed in extra-virgin olive oil, lightly salted and peppered, cooked to perfection* over charcoal. What a delightful meal for a fall evening** in the Valley of the Sun!
* Really moist and tender and tasty!
** 102° today, only 95° at dinner time.
