I have recently fallen in love with America's Test Kitchen and been trying a lot of their recipes, (even though they use WAY more sugar *since I don't use any unless it's baking* than I do). I wanted meatloaf yesterday, and I make a killer meatloaf. tried their recipe. meh. not so much. not horrible, but it's not the meatloaf that I make that people say OMG! please! I want your meatloaf!

Rosemary foccacia, Kalamata olives, garlicky humus, and really, really old smelly goat cheese.

A big paper cup of convenience store coffee while getting the minivan's oil changed.

Pad Prik Kaeng Gai, Green Thai chicken curry, rice, and mango with sticky rice and coconut milk!

Vegetable curry and rice here.

A beef roast, slow cooked in a crock pot with the brine of two jars of spicy giardiniera. It always turns out good! It tends to fall apart when it comes out of the crock pot, but the leftovers firm up after a night in the refrigerator and slice well for sandwiches the next day.

With green beans on the side.

Thai green curry with chicken, green beans, and broccoli. Tasmanian pinot noir.

You mean the pickled vegetables? Fascinating! Do tell!

Not much to tell. The brand I use, Cento, has a very spicy "hot peppery" brine. I use a 1.5 to 2.5 pound piece of chuck roast. I'm pretty ruthless about trimming all visible fat, which usually leaves me with several pieces of roast. I cover beef pieces with the brine from two 32 ounce jars and cook on high for five hours or so. (Eight to ten hours on low would work fine, too, but I'm slow starter.) When it's done, take the meat out and let it "rest" for 10 minutes or so to firm up -- but it will still shred when you try to cut it. It slices well after a night in the fridge.

The "pepper brine" penetrates the meat and gives it a good, but not too hot kick. And it smells great while it's cooking!

If you don't intend to use the giardiniera on its own, you can get by with one 32 ounce jar and empty the entire contents into the crock pot. After cooking the vegetables will be very, very salty but won't taste like much otherwise.

BTW, this has a lot of sodium in it, so if you have any health concerns about sodium, this probably isn't for you!

That sounds very yummy and like a good excuse for me to o.d. on the veggies on the side

jersysman · 04-09-2014, 07:52 PM

Just had some chicken noodle soup and I'm topping it off with a granola bar.

kindlekitten · 04-09-2014, 08:04 PM

cottage cheese. I have developed a bad habit of just going and getting four or five bites directly from the container, but it's not like anyone else is eating it. well the dog is. there is always the obligatory nibble put on his kibble

Stitchawl · 04-09-2014, 08:17 PM

Thai Chicken soup. (Imagine the spices and herbs used for Tom Yum Kung, but used in a chicken soup with large chunks of boneless chicken, all served over rice.)
