My ol'lady is out of town for another week or so (she's been gone about a week already) so when batching it I tend to not get fancy.
Yesterday I made moose burgers on the BBQ. Yes, the moose I shot this past fall Tonight I'm gonna flash up some frozen chicken burgers (cause I'm lazy) and tomorrow, it's a moose meat pie with cranberries and steamed (fresh) asparagus.

I declared today Cuban day. I put some Cuban Shredded Beef in the crockpot this morning. Gonna make rice and beans to go with the beef. I have all the stuff to make mojitos to wash it all down. And, if everything goes as planned, I'll be enjoying a nice cigar afterward. Probably a cigar that fits this theme!
ETA: Here is the recipe I have for Cuban Shredded Beef
Cuban shredded beef
Ingredients
* 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
* 1 medium-sized yellow onion, chopped
* 2 garlic cloves, chopped
* 1 (2-1/2- to 3-pound) bottom round roast
* 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
* 2 teaspoons chili powder
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. In a slow cooker (3-1/2 quarts or larger), combine bell pepper, onion, and garlic; place roast on top of vegetables.
2. In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper; mix well and pour over roast. Cover and cook on high setting 7 to 8 hours, or until meat pulls apart with a fork.
3. Turn off slow cooker and shred beef by pulling it apart with 2 forks. Stir beef mixture and allow to sit 5 minutes.
Serving Tip
Serve with rice and beans or on a crusty roll.

Each day I break my previous record of consecutive days alive.
Shredded beef sounds awesome!
My Cuban day was almost a bust. I got home from work and went to stir the crock pot when I realized it was still cold. Apparently the outlet I plugged in to is finicky and only works when you hold pressure on the plug. So we moved Cuban day to Saturday and it turned out great. I think we're going to use the leftovers to make tacos tonight.

Doing the Cuban Shredded Beef tonight. The smell is heavenly, to the point the wife and I have felt we have been tortured for the last 7 hours! It's that, red beans and rice, and I'll finish of the evening with an Arganese Maduro Chairman Torpedo.
I don't usually do anything fancy but tonight is the exception. I am making Chicken Lou, it is chicken breast marinated in cream of mushroom soup and lemon and mustard. I put some sage on it and cook the whole mess in the oven at 350 for about 45 minutes. I put it over some rice pilaf and serve. It will be delicious. If don't like chicken you can cook turkey instead, it will taste about the same.

Coldcuts (turkey breast), American cheese and water. Raspberry sorbet for dessert.

Last night i cast iron seared some chuck eye steaks. This is the cut at the end of the ribeye loin, its the same meat just without that distinctive eye shape marbelization, and its about half the price and just as tasty, check it out. We had that with a side of roasted bliss potato's and baby bella mushrooms, both then sautéed in garlic oil, minced garlic and S&P. For drink we had a nice glass of Murphy Good cabernet from Alexander Valley. It was a fantastic meal to say the least !!!
Home made chili...Threw in a wee bit of ghost pepper to take the chill of the evening off.
