Food What's For Dinner Tonight?

Texans make a dry smoked venison sausage. It works well with the leaner meats... I've had a pork version, too. They smoke it until it's almost crumbly. I've had it atop salad, sliced on top of a burger, and just snacky - style to gnaw on. It's a thing.
I think it might be like a version of hard-tack or something. You're right, it's super salty. Almost salt-cured tasting.

 

What we had was sort of a sausage version of jerky.

 

Sounds about right. How many chews did it take per mouthful? Ha ha.

 

Does the jerky-ish link sausage have a name? I've never had it before.

 

Nope. It was called smoked sausage at both places where I've gotten it.

 

Leftover pizza. Mmmm.

 

Tonight, it was ravioli.

And later, a bite of German Chocolate cake. Bad sneaker.

 

I've done beef brisquet on my basic grill/smoker. Today I going to try a beef roast using homemade marinade/mop, along with foil-wrapped onions, which we both really like. My wife is going to do spicy potato salad.

 

Yesterday when I went to Fiesta to restock our produce my wife suggested that I get some Granny Smith apples because she "might cook" an apple pie. I did, & we/she did. BTW, she does crusts from scratch as well.

The apple pie recipe she follows only calls for one cup of sugar (that's a whole lot less sugar than what's used in most store bought APs). She substituted 1/2 cup brown sugar for 1/2 cup regular granulated sugar. It gives the pie a great taste, but it does alter the color of the filling.

 

She asked, "Should I do a single or double crust?" I immediately replied, "Double." To make it even better, she did ruff puff pastry.

Might I suggest a cherry pie?

 

She's my Cherry Pie!

Had it for lunch, going to have more after yoga.
Freaking amazing. I didn't have Sunny Paris seasoning, so I used some Herbs de Provence and chives and red pepper flakes.
