We had some fresh ground beef to use up and I wanted a change so I
made sloppy joes and I put a bit of Italian sausage in for flavour.
They were yummy! And we had the leftover salad from last night to go
with them - it had strawberries, cucumber, tomato, baby greens,
parmesan flakes and toasted almonds, and it tasted okay if a little
soggy from sitting in the fridge overnight.

Then I wanted dessert, so I made a batch of scones and we topped them
with lemon curd leftover from John's birthday cake last weekend, and
strawberry sauce leftover from last night's cheesecake. Add a cup of
Sleepytime tea for me, and a coffee for DH, made in his shiny new
three-cup coffee press, and we were both very happy.

I made boiled eggs for the 7 YO, scrambled eggs for the wife, and OE
eggs for myself. I cut up 1/4-1/3" cubes of potatoes, parboiled them,
then fried them in peanut oil. I also sliced an avocado that my wife
and I shared.

Got a 7 lb. turkey breast at the local grocer from the 'used meat'
bin....(69 cents/lb). Cooked that with smashed spuds, corn.

We were in NYC today, and ate at Ray's Famous Pizza in the Village. I
had a small salad with Asian ginger dressing and croutons. The rest
of the gang demolished various pizzas.

Mild Italian Sausages and brocolli with sesame seeds.

If it is brocolli for many is it brocollus for 1?
(Like octopus and octopi)

We had:

- Broccoli greens which had been slow-cooked with bacon grease and garlic.
These were served in bowls so we could enjoy the pot likker along with the
greens.

- Slender carrots which were partially steamed then glazed with reduced
apricot nectar.

- Petrale sole meunière (seasoned with salt and pepper, dusted with flour,
then cooked in brown butter and served with lemon wedges).

- German butterball potatoes which were partially boiled, then cut in half
and finished cooking cut-side-down in the pan used to cook the fish.

I had some home made sausage patties with eggs and some fresh mung bean
sprouts.

I'll post pics later when I upload to tinypic.

We had Indian Chicken cooked on the BBQ rotisserie. I pureed an onion
and a couple cloves of garlic, added salt, pepper and cumin and smeared
it on the chicken and in the cavity and let it sit for an hour. Then it
went on the BBQ and was basted with melted butter. We had that with
salad, fresh asparagus and fresh rolls. Dessert was rhubarb custard pie.

Very nice.

I had 3 turkey drumsticks in the fridge that my wife had
found on sale earlier in the week, so around noon I put
them into a brine and into the downstairs fridge.

While we were out shopping we found a small rack of pork
ribs in the marked down meat section, so we bought that.
Once home, I installed the 4 new burners that I had ordered
for the grill, gave it a general clean up, then smoked
the turkey and pork both for about an hour to hour and
a quarter. When the meat was up to fully cooked temps
I cooked 2 handsful of egg noodles and some frozen
green beans. We ate 2 of the drumsticks last night,
and saved the 3rd for somebody's lunch. The ribs I
had put on a dry rub before cooking, then added a
barbeque sauce and wrapped it in foil after cooking.
That will be dinner tonight, probably accompanied by
rice and some mixed vegetables.

The turkey was very good. I sliced a sample off the
pork and it tasted a little too spicy, but I'm hoping
it will mellow a bit with the sauce and sitting overnight
in the fridge. I used John Henry's Chisholm Trail Rub and
probably overdid it a bit. Live, cook, and learn . . . ;-)

We are at Chili's last night on our way home from the four-day Festival
of Nations in St. Paul (www.festivalofnations.com) where I'd spent
about 40 hours showing peoples how I decorate Easter eggs. We had
barbecued ribs, fries, and a couple raspberry margaritas. The ribs
weren't bad but the noise level was ridiculous, abetted by a table of
five next to us that was too damned loud. JAYzuzz!

During the four days at the Festival, I enjoyed chicken salad and
artichoke salad I brought with me (because I was alone in my space on
Thursday), an eclair, some kolachky, some coffee, some gyoza, some
mandu, a ham sammich on a baguette, some shicken wings, a gyros, a
coupla arepas, coffee, an eclair, some vanilla yogurt with some orange
sherbet (DIY creamsicle), a croissant with ham and cheese and spinach
leaves, some really flat cookies with a buttercream filling, maybe
another eclair. ;-\ For the first time in probably 15 years, I did
not have any tabbouleh from the church laidies-run Lebanese booth.

Burp.

Tonight I made a tuna-mac salad that would have been improved by the
inclusion of some salt. The tuna (TJ solid albacore) was dry.

Oh, interesting! May have to try that.

We had those beef back ribs (James made them, but I won't say how he did
it, because I might be booed off the group), and they were wonderful. I
made macaroni salad and roasted beets/asparagus/onions to go with them.
All very goodl.

He BOILED them, didn't he?

And then put bottled BBQ sauce on top?

The truth will come out!

That was my first thought, too. I can just see Moosie smiling.
