Critterfixer Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Charging along, getting things done. About to start cooking with one boy, but the other one is making his own homemade French Fries, and he gets grumpy if I get in his way in the kitchen. Dinner is brisket, roast potatoes, and caramel apples for dessert. Edited November 18, 2019 by Critterfixer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rare for us to have enough leftovers for a meal, I know, but what a blessing! I don't have to cook tonight! We eat leftovers about half the time. It is a part of our family culture that came about due to my chronic nausea which leaves me unable to cook much of the time. It's also cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Well, for this brisket, I roasted it with high heat in the oven, and now I've got it in a pot with carrots and onions, about a half-cup of liquid (water and V-8), a few bay leaves, and some thyme to braise it until it's tender. It takes hours and hours in the oven. But it's good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 We’re having Krissi’s famous creamy potato soup for dinner. I have been working on Christmas-at-the-in-laws menus and trying to accommodate both my diet (no sugar or white flour) and dd21’s diet (vegetarian) without getting too weird for the in-laws or their grandson and not having to bring SO much food that we can’t fit the sleeping bags or sleds in the van. I don’t care about skipping desserts too much, and dd will eat bread & potatoes so that will cover quite a bit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t you know getting hurt is against ITT rules?! I want brownies. I’m not exactly sure what I did, but I think it’s just rotator cuff tendonitis. Dh is concerned that it’s a bone spur, but the pain comes and goes (I only have trouble with it a couple times a year).

I salted it (it was the 5 lb flat cut), peppered it, and stuck it in my Dutch oven. Then I put it in the oven at 500 for about 30 minutes, flipped it, and roasted it at 500 for another 30. I chopped up 5 carrots and 3 onions and cut the top off a head of garlic, and roasted all that on a pan at the 500 for about 30 minutes or so. Then I put it all together, added 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of V-8, two bay leaves, and a sprinkle of thyme and covered it with the lid. I then braised it at 275 for 3.5 hours. I was supposed to roast it again at 500 to get it smoking again, but I got hungry. It smelled too good! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 We did calorimetry in 4-H STEM tonight. I swear it seems like every middle and high schooler I know loves playing with fire. Except my son. Class or 4-H, if anything is on fire, he leaves the room. Dh fixed my sink so it works again. Thankfully since I now have dishes to do from tonight's 4-H. I'll do them in the morning. But he fixed the sink when we would normally be heading to the gym so we skipped the gym/TKD tonight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it’s too late now. Bell choir tonight. We are going to play at the Nation’s Christmas Tree Ceremony thingie up at the General Grant Tree in King’s Canyon National Park next month. That should be kind of neat. Handbells in the forest. Hopefully there will be some snow by then.
