BEEF - it’s what’s for dinner! Happened last Friday night when H got these ridiculous caveman steaks at Fred Meyer for only 4.99/lb. Rib eyes, and they were probably the most tender (cut with a fork only) and fab beefiest tasting steaks ever. What I imagine Waygu beef to taste like. Have only had the Costco ground Waygu before. Anyway, very rich, I only had about 1/4 of mine & H maybe got through a third. Thoroughly enjoyed with a good bottle of red.

Thanks - it looks really good! What is the banana looking thing to the right? Is it a plank of eggplant maybe?
Plantains.
Prepared in air fryer.

Oh awesome I wouldn’t have guessed! I’m sure it was very delish.
I dunno.
Might trade it for your ribeye …

Wow, you would not have believed it! We have a package of four more in the freezer, but I’m not expecting the same quality - it’s a crapshoot for sure. I actually think the 2 steaks on Friday were from the same animal. I said a little prayer on behalf of the steer.

Came up with a bunch of ideas but didn’t feel like eating any of them.
So I put some dal and rice+quinoa in the instant pot (in stacked separators) and cauliflower to roast. Then got some inspiration and turned the cauliflower into gobi matar with a quick base of onions, ginger, garlic, and tomato paste plus frozen peas.
Simple homey meal of rice, dal, and cauliflower-peas.

Tonight’s dinner was Sausage Meatloaf, baked potatoes and green beans. The meatloaf sauce is quite simple… ketchup, brown sugar and Worcester sauce. This sauce is another “Mom” recipe and my girlfriend loves the stuff, so it works. For some reason, my girlfriend wanted some cornbread tonight with dinner. I had a box of “Jiffy” cornbread in the pantry, so I made that up for her.

Fantastic idea for dressing the mushroom ravs. I usually go with… mushrooms or shroom sauce.
This is hella more interesting.

Best quick-fix boxed cornbread, IMO.

BF made Bourbon Chicken last night. Its a monthly dish for us. He did make some changes such as using primarily dark soy sauce, a potato starch coating instead of corn starch (really made it crispier), and, at my request, adding the broccoli into the dish instead of leaving on the side. I thought this made the dish better, he did not, though I agree it turned more into a generic stir fry. He also thought the sauce was too dark.
There was a Stoli rocks.

It’s funny I was thinking as I was eating it thar I’ll bet it would taste really good if served hot. And thanks for sharing the link to the article - it was interesting!
Yes… and its inexpensive, so I always keep a box or two in the pantry for those “cornbread” requests.
I do put a “buttered” parchment disk in the baking dish so it doesn’t stick. That also makes cleanup easier.

The place mat is actually an old but well loved lap tray that was given to me for Christmas one year by my sister. I asked for one at one point since I wanted one to use on the nights I want to eat in front of the tv. The bottom and left hand side of the wood frame have since come loose and broke off at one point - not while I was eating. The picture was of a bowl of fruit which has since faded. I guess I should buy a new lap tray
