What are Pstopotatoes? You reminded me… I have a small slice of tri-tip left. I ordered online from the deli at Instacart. They delivered my groceries in about 2 hours.

PSTO…
is the Proverbial Sh*t Ton Of…
I think Linda Whit coined the phrase here for butter. I riffed on it for potatoes.

Thank you! I am so excited!. Just tried it for the first time in my new pressure cooker (never had a pressure cooker before and when I tried to cook ribs once - the traditional way - it didn’t turn out well at all). These taste amazing. I am so happy!

Last night it was pasta w/Bolognese sauce from the freezer, and a nice fresh crisp green salad. Also, a great sourdough bread from a local bakery that continues to evolve for the better. Not photo worthy, but simple and good.

Oohh, HungryAllTheTime, those are truly gorgeous. Did you follow a particular recipe, and did you cook them in one batch or two?

There was cauliflower & green beans that needed using up. So I made poached salmon with cauliflower cheese & green beans. I do love making a cheese sauce or bechamel sauce. I find the whole process very soothing.

Here’s the recipe I followed (kinda - see my changes below)… I did it in one batch, but I cut the rack into two (video has it fitting in its entirety in the pot. Mine didn’t fit. I have the 6 quart)
I used my own rub, used apple cider instead of concentrated apple juice and store bought bbq sauce.

Tonight is beef stew out the freezer with some egg noodles.
Standard fare in the stew with beef, potatoes, carrots and root veggies…
Banana bread in the oven for 11am brunch to kick off the cooking. Desert, Kentucky Burbon chocolate balls, chocolate chip cookies and orange layer cake.
The rest is prepared by the youngin’s including all of the fixin’s.

I’m not at that point yet that the youngins do much of anything, let alone the fixins. You must be proud!

dinner last night was leftover Pasta alla Norma casserole. BF wanted to eat it instead of saving it for his Thxgiving dinner. Afterwards, I trimmed a ton of green beans for a green bean casserole i’m making as a donation to this local group that’s feeding the homeless on Thxgiving. I’ve never made this dish before because it honestly doesn’t look very good to me! I didn’t grow up with it. I’ve looked at tons of recipes to either lighten it up or just be not so gloopy, so i’m going to wing it, using the recipes as a jumping off point. three things for sure: 1) the beans are fresh, 2) there will be no condensed soup of any kind, and 3) i’m definitely cheating on the topping and using TJ’s Gourmet Fried Onions
I love them - I’ve been eating them like potato chips, right out of the can! So they need to leave the house asap.
I’ll start the beans tonight, finish up in the a.m. Tonight I’m also making a cheesecake (plain, sister didn’t want pumpkin), and an almond tort for the BF, so he’ll have at least one “festive” thing for the holiday. Not that he cares, but I do!
Not sure what dinner will be tonight yet…
Happy prepping, everyone!

Last night’s before the mister’s one week trip to China.
The mister requested for the pork belly with mushroom miso soup and pan fried saba (not in pic). I added a daikon/mizuna salad topped with bonito flakes with a vinegar flavored dressing. He’s not that into raw vegetables. Should have added some tuna or hard boiled egg, or switched to Japanese mayonnaise dressing instead.

Linda, I don’t visit here very often so I’m just learning of your loss. I live in Somerville, never met you, but feel like I know you from your loving posts here. So I’m joining the many here saying we are here with you and know your mom will be happy that you are cooking, eating, drinking, crying, and loving here. Take care.

@mariacarmen coined the acronym for butter. The PSTO can be added to anything that uses a helluva lot of whatever. LOL
