Welcome to mmm-yoso!!! the food blog written pretty much regularly and mostly by Kirk, ed(from Yuma) and Cathy. Everyone is busy today, but Cathy has a bit of free time at the moment, so she's writing today.
Hi. It's a hectic short week for a lot of us and tomorrow will most likely be a day of thanks, reflection, meals with family and friends, after a morning of cooking. The Mister and I have been planning for the day and its meals by practicing various cooking methods and recipes we might share. Today and tomorrow will be busy with cooking and preparation. We do need two days though.
Today for breakfast we made Oven Pancake with crispy bacon. (You can click the links to see the oven pancake recipe and how the bacon is cooked.). The greens are pea pods (from our garden), fennel stems and mushrooms sauteed in butter. Those are gala apple slices…
We bought a few stalks of brussels sprouts (@$2.99 each) from Trader Joe's.
We plan on cooking some of the sprouts according to the recipe in the middle of this post, and using one whole stalk and some other uncooked vegetables as a centerpiece for the table (instead of flowers).
Because I deliberately finished up all the bread in the house, lunch today is a square hamburger with sliced pickles, onions and tomatoes. That's a fennel, broccoli and bok choy stir fry on the side. (That's blue cheese residue from The Mister's burger on top of my burger…).
Here are some of the fruits and vegetables I plan on using for sides. Hm..where are the potatoes, onions, eggplant, asparagus and broccoli??? Gotta go cook. See you tomorrow. Have a Happy Thanksgiving Day!
