We got a hotel near the airport because our friend is flying to Australia tomorrow morning. So tonight we're eating steak dinners at the Outback Steakhouse.

I was all ears, but wait - is it pepperized?

I wanna see it anyway

It doesn't have to be. Usually I make 2 batchs, one regular for the wife and one spicy for me.

Sure- I would take a gander at the regular version

 

[Bacpacker]

I wouldn't mind seeing both

There's so much sugar in too many everyday things! Most of the time making your own is so much better!!

#me to, only we had smokies with spinach & feta crumbles with the potato pancakes. No fruit.

I'll post it after I get home tomorrow night. We like my version far better than store bought. It also makes a great tomato soup base, just add bacon, ham or shrimp to it.

OK. Here's my famous ketchup recipe.
1-tbs olive oil
1-medium onion, or onion power
1- jalapeno pepper, chopped - optional
3- cloves garlic, minced
1- 28 ounce can tomato, diced w juices. Or 2-1/2 pounds fresh tomatoes chopped
1/3 - cup brown sugar
3- tbs tomato paste
1/3- cup apple cider vinegar
2- tbs Worcester sauce
1/2- tsp chili power or cayenne or both. Optional
1/2- tsp ground mustard
1/4- tsp ground cloves
1/4- tsp allspice
1/8- tsp ground black pepper
1/2- tsp salt

1. Heat oil in medium sized pot. Add pepper and onion. Cook down 5 min.
2. Add garlic. Cook 1 min.
3. Add diced tomatoes, brown sugar, cider vinegar, tomato paste, Worcester sauce, chili powder, ground mustard, cloves, allspice, black pepper and salt, stir
4. Bring to boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for 45 - 60 minutes
5. Let cool some. Then puree the mixture in blinder. Process in batches
6. Strain the ketchup through a fine mesh sieve to give it a smooth texture.
Makes about 3 cups.

I normally double or triple this recipe. Plus I usually add some crushed dried hot peppers for a hot version.

Rats, GARLIC. You know what that does to Vampires

 

[Peanut]

Went to town, ate at a little greasy spoon for the second time. I almost never go to town this way, only drive that road when leaving town, after lunch else where. Last time i had a burger, nothing to write home about.

Anyway, aside from my kitchen, it was the best hotdog I've had in years. Said "grilled hotdog" on the menu. Peppers, onions and tomato grilled on a flat top along with the dog. Sort of a chicago hotdog crossed with a philly cheese steak.

And the best onion rings i think i've ever had. Might have used panko in the breading. Something unusual anyway, very crispy. Onion rings are usually soggy but not these. They were yummy.

I am probably pretty safe from vamps

Last night I had celery with cream cheese and apple slices. Don't know what the little woman has planned for tonight.

Sounds like you best get to trappin’

 

[hashbrown]

We were both beat tonight, bacon egg and cheese on a croissant.

 

[Amish Heart]

KC strip steaks (from our half cow order), fried mushrooms and bacon on it, steak fries, sourdough, and broccoli.

 

[LadyLocust]

I made Tbones with fried kale and did artichokes (we don’t eat supper so it will be our lunch tomorrow). Hubby wanted to try making mayo for his artichoke so I have had to get up to go find ingredients for him several times.
Him: Where’s the avocado oil.
Me: Next to the butter.
Him: Vanilla, garlic olive oil…
Me: Down a shelf next to the butter, clear jar with a cork.
Him: olive oil
That’s when I just get up and pull the oil off the shelf from next to the butter.
Him: it doesn’t say avocado oil. (I get a large jug and keep a small bottle next to the butter where it’s handy

 

[Amish Heart]

Well, hey, at least he was in the kitchen. I never ever see a man in the kitchen. But if I did, he wouldn't find anything. ha ha.

I've been cooking supper for decades, I always got home from work first

My apron has chickens on it

 

[Amish Heart]

I think it's good when a man can cook. I have an apron with chickens on it, too. One of our daughters got me a chicken apron with a ton of pockets all over it to collect eggs and put the eggs in the pockets. I've never used that one, though. We collect too many eggs.

 

[Magpie]

Mash and veg, and a BBQ chicken sauce I'm trialing in the slow cooker.
