What's new

What's Cookin?

I posted a bit prematurely. I almost didn't share, because it isn't pretty...

Patty pans are my favorite squash. I had mentioned to my wife that I wanted to try some new stuffed squash recipes. Last Wednesday, she surprised me with a recipe she tried using turkey sausage. Of course, I had to work late that day. So, she kept it covered. It was right up my alley for taste, but appearance had suffered due to sitting around and sweating while it was waiting on me to get home. Good stuff - no pun intended.

I had a cheat day sandwich for dinner last night too.
I meant to take a pic but I was half way into it before I remembered....
Have you ever heard of a pambazo?
If not....Pambazos are a Mexican style sammy with a mix of potato and sausage or beef filling along with cotija cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion. The bread is a torta and dipped in guajillo sauce then seared.
It's so good and only a few TexMex places around here have them so I got one from my fave spot in the north part of town last night.
Not my pic but here's what one looks like

That looks interesting. Sort of a cheese steak sandwich but with chicken.

most places around here use shaved chicken breast and make exactly like a cheesesteak. i don't always follow the rules... i used white american and blue cheese!!

but since i'm having a cheat week on carbs i figured i would do it up right with that last roll... garlic bread with fresh made pasta with an egg laid today and gravy made from scratch!!

My wife and I tried a random little joint with an Eastern European menu, earlier this week. Cabbage rolls, lula kababs and beet vinaigrette were all tasty (photo below).

No photos, but I had the best beet dish of my life, this evening. The restaurant has a neat concept. Their menu is based on cuisine from four countries. The chef is Armenian and his country is always represented. The other three countries change every 4-6 weeks. Today's offerings were from Spain, France, Morocco and Armenia. Each country is represented by one item on the appetizer menu. Ditto for the dessert menu. For dinner, each country has three dishes to choose from. One each from land, sea or garden (meat, fish or veggie). I went with the garden offerings from Morocco: spiced carrot salad (date vinaigrette, pine nuts, goat cheese) and beet tagine (carrots, butternut squash, chickpeas). The rest of my group went with meat dishes and raved about them, but I would order the beet tagine, if I went back tomorrow. It was that good. I need to study up on Moroccan seasonings, because there were some new-to-me flavors going on. The restaurant just opened in August, but it already feels like it may be special.

I opted for Armenian coffee instead of dessert. The waiter even read my coffee grounds. He very specifically predicted that I will be somewhere like a gas station and have need to pay for something in cash, instead of swiping a card. I'll think I don't have cash on me, but will find $25 in the pocket of my jeans that made it through the washer and dryer, lol.

Yessir. It's all Mediterranean, but each has their own distinct flavors.

I like to try different foods, too. My small hometown doesn't offer much variety. When we travel, we get a chance to branch out a bit.

Heading to a Fall food festival in Greenville, today. Advertised as 60+ restaurants with 300+ dishes. Might be hard deciding what to sample.

Just an easy stoner meal on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The impossible cheeseburger pie from the back of the bisquick box. I used shweid and sons wagyu katana blend, vidalia sweet onions, kerrygold dubliner cheddar.
