I grabbed fast food and ate in the car. It’s the saddest dinner I’ll have this week but I do it every Monday so I’ll have enough time to shower and play with my dog for a bit between getting home from work and my weekly D&D game.
I made a vegetable stock from scratch with onions, garlic, carotts, parsnip, olive oil, salt and pepper, added a potato for the texture and once done completed it with cream, sour cream, mushrooms and green peas.
Finally I added some carob gum, because it was intended to be served as sauce rather than soup.
The side order was basmati rice.
Can’t say that I was disappointed.
I made some pork tenderloin recently. Came out a little dry even though I took it out right as it got 150° unfortunately, but it’s still good if you put the juices over it before eating.
Brown rice/quinoa bowl with some rotisserie chicken and veg. Some undressed super greens on the side. Really been enjoying having a Doctor Goodwin (Dr. Pepper analog) Olipop with dinner. Really caps the meal off nicely.
I don’t think it’s possible to get that old “school lunch” or banquet consistency while keeping the food somewhat real so I guess the biggest “gripe” was the gravy. It was still pretty good though! Just didn’t recapture that.
Hmm, interesting.
So I had Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes tonight. Anybody else have anything good?

It’s only sad if you make it sad. Make it a pregame ritual and get pumped!

I had a few gluten free Oreo cookies.
Did you make it from scratch?
Yeah, like I said :)
Goshdarnint, I was trying to ask about the other person’s salisbury steak 👿
It’s WAY funnier reading it twice in a row though. You should just ask everyone this question.

My grandpa made really good tenderloins, added lemon pepper with a squeeze of lemon. So good. It’s one of his recipes I never got out of him. :(
I tried making hamburgers with ground goat, just for the hell of it. They were surprisingly good, the meat was too lean for a good hamburger though.
Try it again with added fat, maybe?

I’m doing steaks myself, but I ended up a little short on cook time so they are a little tough.

Oof, that’s a lot healthier than mine lol
Did you make it from scratch?
Yeah, and if I’m being totally honest, it’s not as good as banquet lol
Edit: the Salisbury steak, I mean. The mashed potatoes are WAY better.
OK, challenge accepted. What recipe did you use?

You probably needed to add MSG
Likely. I really don’t use it much, because most things I cook don’t really need it. But that definitely could’ve used some extra flavor.
