1/2 lb of turkey (for 2 people) and blended these spices together

Pasilla Chilis
Cumin
"Mexican Spices" from McCormiks
salt

Mixed it all, threw it on a frying pan ~5 min for each side...

We had Pork Chops and Pasta.

The Pork chops were pan cooked in a red wine vinegar sauce with fresh tomatoes, garlic and capers.

The Pasta was Orzo pasta tossed with fresh chopped spinach, Feta cheese, and fresh squeezed lemon juice.

The entire meal was a hit, even for my little ones.

pork roast made with potato's,carrots,onions ,celery cooked in a pottery pot .
this pot is different in a way . you let the lid soak full of water for about 1/2 hour then empty the water out. you make the roast as normal but dont need to add water as the lid releases it as it cooks and the food come out tender and really flavor full . the stoneware-pot/dutch oven was bought by my wife from pamper chef a while back.

My mother would make a similar dish in a crock pot when I was young, except she added a can of tomato soup to it all. I hated it.

Last night I was having a match at the pool hall, so I settled for a buffalo chicken wrap with fries. However, this past weekend I made a beef stew that I'll be eating up on for lunch all week.

I got out of work a little early so was able to indulge myself a little and actually cook. I made a little angel hair pasta with shrimp, chicken, and spinach in a white wine reduction. Was kinda yummy but I overcooked the angel hair pasta a little because I got distracted with work.

Mmm that sounds good Obby.. but but.. its friday!!! sigh, this whole going to Heaven thing really cuts into my ability to crave bloody animals. I wonder if Blade had these issues...

Yeh I know it's Friday, and I usually abstain from eating meat on Friday's in lent, but I'm trying to level out my blood sugar and fish just didn't sound real appealing tonight..I'm sure God will forgive me..what I lose by eating meat I make up for in going to Stations of the Cross. ;)

Too exhausted tonight to cook. The only thing I ate so far was a handful of salad olives and some hot peperoncini (SP?) peppers.

I'll more then likely put in more the 30 hours over the weekend alone working. We are moving and I have an entire data center to move (With the help of a few others). I doubt I will be posting in this thread again for a few days!

Homemade chicken chow mein with brown rice and cream cheese wontons. I always use ice in my soda and it does indeed water it down. I think I will start sticking it in a mug in the freezer when I am at home instead of using the ice.

I love chicken chow mein. Actually all Chinese type foods.

My Sprite never lasts long enough in the glass to get watered down by the ice. :)

I made schnitzel last night... basically thinly-sliced pork fried quickly on both sides. The recipe I found said to roll it in bread crumbs but I used smashed up corn flakes instead, and I liked that better. Wanted to recreate what I had in Germany and it came out nearly spot-on. woohoo!

Lunch today was tuna fish in the pita bread I made this morning. Pita is a lot easier to make than I thought it would be, it's simpler than normal bread.

Got a couple loaves of multigrain bread ready to go in the oven as soon as dinner comes out.

Dinner is some pork spare ribs I marinated in a little sauce last night (vinegar, brown sugar, worchester sauce, cajun seasoning). I'm going to pull the meat apart and stuff it into a roll, kinda like pulled pork.

I did Dixie Fry chicken with homemade mashed potatoes and fresh corn. Made a couple of cornbread muffins and thawed a cheesecake for dessert. It was good, but a little much. I prefer the Wok and grilled fish, etc.
