    Earlier this week. Practice turkey. Got lazy and just chucked it in the oven at 365 F until the thingie popped.

    If your Filipino grandma is on F-chat, you may wish to caution her to avert her eyes to my first attempt at kare-kare. I did make a big mess though. Taste was OK-ish.

    Cheated and used a pre-made flavor packet.

    Braised the oxtails for about 2 hours. Sautéed bok choy, eggplant (diced) and green onions (they were in the fridge and not getting any fresher) for a couple minutes. Added peanut mix to the broth, simmered until thickened. Threw an oxtail or two back in. Mixed in the seated veggies. Heated through. Serve.

    Voila!

    Post-game action report...

    - Think I should have simmered longer. A bit of chew still left to the oxtails.

    - Multi-tasking and making pork ramen broth and beef pho broth at the same time was probably not a good idea. But, at this time of the year, Sunday is for driving in the morning and cooking in the afternoon.

    - Good taste. Wish it was pea-nuttier! Will mix in some all-natural peanut butter next time. A little extra spice might be good too. [emoji848]

    Man, that looks rich and delicious! Nice sides too.

    For taste to price ratio, Australian lamb from Costco is hard to beat. I like to take their lamb racks, marinate in lemon/EVOO, S&P, rosemary, garlic powder, and sear the whole rack on the grill. Then, cut them into 2-bone chops, and then finish off to desired (wife - medium, me - medium rare) doneness...T

    I never use the packets, not that they're not good, just prefer from scratch. If its any consolation Kare-Kare is one of those dishes that's hard to get right every time, you'll have to tweak each time you cook. I put the oxtails in the pressure cooker to tenderize.

    The recipes I read seemed to have a lot of moving parts, so I went w/ a packet to make it easier on myself. Definitely needed more peanut flavor. The veggies with the peanut-y/beefy broth was the best part of the dish. Veg was done just right. I could see a lot of other options. Just gotta get more tender oxtails, and since I don't have a pressure cooker, that means trading t (time) for P (pressure). Thanks for the inspiration...T

    Lots of pork happening here!

    We're breaking tradition today and doing pulled pork / pork butts with mac & cheese as a side. First time we've not had turkey for Thanksgiving. It is a lot easier compared to all the traditional side dishes - it's so much work!

    We did picked up a turkey breast and all the fixings for turkey sandwiches tomorrow.
