Turkey soup for lunch. Celery, onions, turkey, spices and black soy beans.

Also, made a Western-style beef veggie soup - beef broth, veggies, chili powder, diced turnip - for later in the week.

Burned the 1/2 marshmallow squash dish but the browned half was delicious. Oops!

 

Yes it is,,,

 

Your boy done good! What's the stuff in the front?
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!! Looks good.

 

Pot roast was ok but probably should have cooked longer. Everyone was getting impatient and hungry. Tasted good was just a bit chewy. Cooked carrots and parsnips with the meat. Yumm.

 

Parsnips are an underrated root veg. Love them.

Big pot of spaghetti ! 15 gallons worth!

25 pounds of ground beef, 20 pounds of italian sausage, drained the grease, added lots of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, spices, etc..

Fun afternoon - cooked about 8 hours and reduced down 6 gallons from the beginning! Tilt skillet made it easy to drain off fat, and ultimately sauce and easy Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login clean up..

WTF Tom. I feel so bad for your dog being dressed like a toddler.

 

Yeah, me too. But, her skin allergies make it a necessity. It's not easy being the world's most spoiled dog.

Ah, well that sucks!

Poor dog.

 

Tom - Tortizza's look so good, I will have to try those! And very cute pup, what a face

Rob - ok...how many people did that sauce feed??

 

Thanks. That's her "Whatcha eating?" look.

It's an easy and tasty homemade dinner after a long day. I find they work better if you cook the tortillas for about 5-10 mins to crisp them up before putting on sauce and toppings. Around 400 F. Also, keep tomato sauce to a minimum, to avoid making the tortilla soggy. About 5-10 min depending on how you like your mozz cooked.

Going to try to contribute more. Last night was salmon cakes. I think I’ve finally gotten then down. Only issue now is to find the perfect sauce... I’m sure that’ll take a lifetime...

^ Primo crust on the salmon cakes, Davide! Recipe? I never seem to add enough binder, and when I make fish cakes @ home, they don't hold up very well upon frying or, especially, on the grill.

For a good sauce, I would suggest, a nice blueberry chipotle ketchup. I have used this recipe.

albeit with a lot less sugar than called for. You can also adjust the amount of blueberries and chipotle to get the right balance of sweet to heat that you like...T
