Tuesday I ate

Breakfast: Scone
Lunch: Carnitas tacos. Took some of the pulled pork and fried it up. Added onions, cabbage, cheese, and pepper sauce. Amazing.
Afternoon snack: Ghirardelli chocolate squares. Iced tea.
Dinner: Tri Tip sous vide. Followed the APL recipe for seasoning, then cooked for 3 hours at 135F. Added honey glaze and put it on the hot grill, then used torch to caramelize the glaze. Totally awesome. Had with Rosemary sweet potatoes and asparagus.

Dessert: Midnight snack of Eliza’s mini birthday cake

Thursday I ate

Breakfast: Scone & Pear
Lunch: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Buffalo Bleu chips.
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chips. Iced tea
Dinner: Creamed chicken with Waffles. The original plan was Tessa’s desire to have “breakfast for dinner” and she had that. But honestly, I don’t love breakfast any time of the day, so the creamed chicken was much better. Also with asparagus and cranberry relish on the side. Delicious.


Dessert: None. WTF?

Sunday I ate

Breakfast: Made lemon scones. Basically, the recipe here, but without raspberries. Tessa couldn’t decide on lemon or vanilla glaze, so we made both.
Lunch: Grilled salami and cheese sandwich


Afternoon snack: Hand Pie. Some chocolate chips. Iced Tea
Dinner: Pulled pork. Tried a combination of sous vide and smoker based on Serious Eats. The texture and moisture of the meat was awesome, but it didn’t really pick up much smoke flavor. I used the gas grill with wood chips over the lighted burner on one end and the meat at the other end. Kept the grill temp around 280F. Wood just smoked for a few minutes, then went out. Next time (and there will be a next time for this technique) I’ll try the electric smoker. Two hours smoking. Also made the usual BBQ sauce from APL (Serious BBQ). Suzanne made sweet potato rolls and an awesome vinegar slaw.


Dessert: Vanilla cream pie.
