Aloo Sag

 

Not sure about tonight but I just pulled a pork shoulder out of the freezer for tomorrow.
That's going to be some serious Labor Day good eats.

 

I've decided I'm going to make a Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce (recipe found here) tonight. It's going to be served over tortellini, onions, sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. I hope it turns out well.

 

Had a Pepper Jack burger from here: http://blacklotusbrewery.com/ along with 2 pints of:
People Mover Pilsner 4.4%ABV Classic German style Pilsner brewed with noble hops and German malts. Cold aging gives this beer a clean, crisp refreshing finish.
I was driving, so I chose the low ABV. QW, however, really enjoyed some Wildberry Pyment... 14%!


A ‘Pyment’ (pie-ment) is a mead made with grapes. This one is made with clover honey, shiraz grape juice, and natural wildberry concentrate. It is full bodied and semi-sweet. Looks and tastes like Kool-Aid for grown-ups. Dangerous stuff, indeed.

 

Tonight for dinner I'm making Salmon with Tomatoes. Recipe found here. It's going to be served with rice and corn as well.

 

Beef strokeitoff, with a side of lung butter. Damn this cough of mine...

 

Smokin hot steak, thyme steamed broccoli and cauliflower....

 

That pork shoulder did a slow cook in the oven for 6 hours. Couldn't work outside because it rained most of the afternoon.
Finished with a peach reduction sauce.
Pretty fantastic if I may say so.

 

Tonight, I decided to have a treat .. Indian carry Out. Chicken Tikka Biriani .... includes a vegetable curry, and a prawn puri. It has that hot and sour pathia sauce, and soaks into the puri beautifully. Howevar ... the prawns and , They were hard and stringy ... and had a kind of 'hotness' to them which had nothing to do with the sauce. More like mild battery acid or ... or ... detergent. Yes. Maaaan. The sauce was great, but I had to pick out those prawns.
