Meal Thirteen: Loaded Carbonara

This week's meal tasted great, but was team effort. When I offered the options to Bubbles, he responded "Bacon Bacon Bacon!", so Loaded Carbonara was the menu selection.

The flavor was great, but it wasn't simple! Squirt ended up helping Dory out, as the final blend of cheese and hot egg was a bit involved. It is important to incorporate it slowly, so you don't end up with scrambled eggs, yet you need enough heat to melt the cheese. Surprisely, this version of carbonara did not call for cream (white wine instead) and the cheese needed some extra persuation to get creamy. A few short trips in the microwave to gentley melt it and lots of whisking eggs combined to a delicious finale.

Our side items were different - with Caesar salad rather than mixed greens, and some sauteed squash from our friend Roger's vegetable garden. YUM!

Meal Seven : Pork Chops with Tomato Gravy

This meal had a few doubters at the start, but it was a big success. Pork Chops with Tomato Gravy served over Cheese Grits ... southern goodness from a Yankee chef! The king kutter provided perfectly shredded cheese- as usual.

Meal Seventeen: Garlicky Pork Cutlets with Prosciutto, Lemon, and Sage

Repeat from many PD's ago ... Garlicky Pork Cutlets with Prosciutto, Lemon, and Sage ...they came out perfectly thanks to a special early arrival of Piglet... some vacation time from work meant we got to enjoy his company all evening... sometimes Eeyore needs that support! Rounded out the meal with mashed taters and lima beans. YUM!

Meal Five: Panko Crusted Haddock

Back by popular demand, the all time favorite ... Crunchy Fish! The original recipe gets modified from cod to haddock and this sauce is fabulous. Go for the regular mayo and make it the night before... YUM! Squirts had a headache, so we missed him at the table, but saved him some dessert....
