With some corn.

Damn!

You just made me VERY hungry! LOL

That looks really good.

i cooked an 85lb hog a few weeks ago. we cooked it belly down for about 3 hours and then we flipped it and glazed it with some squeeze butter, honey, homemade rub and an apple juice injection. and cooked it for another 8 hours. it was pretty epic.

Tonight, we had duck. The Kate Moss of poultry.

Actually, I followed a recipe in a Polish cook book, where you stuff it with apples, and oranges, and prunes and apricots. The filling was really good, and the meat was tasty. Lots of fat on a duck, and the places you'd normally carve certain parts, isn't where you expect, so I kinda butchered it for the presentation.

All in all, the recipe was a success, but we agreed, duck isn't going to be in the regular rotation.

For a late dessert, I made butternut squash bars from a recipe on our CSA flyer. It was really good. Like, I wanted to eat half the tray.

You peel and cut up the squash, and apples, then mix that with brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground cloves, and bake that covered for 30min. Meanwhile you mix flour, (melted) butter and more brown sugar. When it comes out the first time, you cover it with that mix, and bake uncovered for another 40min. Then, cut it up into squares, and serve with ice cream.

Went all kitchen bitch today:

Roast chicken* with under skin olive oil / soy sauce rub.
Broccoli
Mashed Potatoes

Also made:
Granola
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Quinoa salad
Chicken Soup

*Yes, TGT, I am actually roasting it, not in the microwave. It's damp out today, so it'll make the kitchen nice.

Sounds awesome! I've never made my own granola, but have thought about it. A couple honey and oats bars are my typical weekday breakfast on the run.

My wife is cooking a traditional southern supper tonight.

Country Fried steak with white pepper gravy
Mashed Potatoes
Turnip greens with hot pepper sauce
Great Northern Beans (odd that's a traditional southern thing IMO)
Cornbread

I think I'll be needing a nap after dinner.

That sounds delicious too.

Here's my granola recipe:

3 Cups Oats
1/2 cup Pecans
1/2 Cup Almonds
1/2 Cup Walnuts
1/2 Cup Wheat Germ
1/2 Cup Ground Coconut
1/2 Cup Sunflower Seeds
1 Cup Honey
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil

Mix it all together, put it on an ungreased pan, evenly. Bake at 325 for 20min. In the last 5 min, start mixing it on the pan as it cooks out, or you get your desired "brownness" I'll admit, this part is slightly a pain in the ass, but you'll get the hang of it.

My Italian father-in-law came over and, as usual, made us something terrific to eat.

He flash-fried pork rubbed in a small amount of salt and cayan pepper. He then made a raspberry sauce with a variety of secret ingredients on which he bedded the pork with a fresh slice of kiwi on top. Sided with roasted asparagus and orzo pasta, it made quite a culinary delight. I was surprised by how much I loved the sweet and tangy with the pork; it was delicious.
