There is getting to be a little nip in the air, and that makes country folks start thinking about comfort food (these country folks, anyway). This past week big man found himself with little to do around the house, so some effort was put into dinner for Cupcake.
The first thing that we had was applesauce cake. I saw a recipe for it on a chicken fan page we belong to on Facebook, and we just happened to have four dozen jars of home made applesauce from last weekend....so....
It's quick, it's simple, and it tastes great. This one didn't stay around too long.
One chilly afternoon I went with an old country staple, seared pork chops. Salt, pepper, cast iron skillet and some heat, and we have cut with a fork tender chops one night.
We also had fried catfish one night, but I didn't manage to snap any pics. I use the cast iron skillet but the fish is soaked in an egg wash and egg/flour fingers do not mix well with cameras. So you'll just have to take our word for it, they were tasty. With most meals this week we had greens. Pop planted a big patch of greens, and we are doing what we can to help him keep it under control.
One night I smoked a rack of ribs
And Saturday night we had baked steaks. Cupcake seared the sirloin steak in our large cast iron skillet, then covered and baked them low and slow. We cut them with a fork too, and even had one left over for Sunday steak and eggs.
We also have a brisket covered in dry rub getting happy in the beer fridge, that will be a Monday or Tuesday kind of meal because big man has free time like that and we have a brand new maple tree working up for smoker wood. That leads in to a brand new update. Stay tuned.
Of course we have the weekend staples of pancakes on Saturday, and chip beef gravy with buttermilk biscuits on Sunday. Sunday is also Cupcake's favorite meal. I do my best Geico camel voice and ask her "guess what day it is?" Chicken wing Sunday is the answer.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
