I've got two batches of sugarfree/gluten-free (I think!)/low carb biscotti in the oven. One is pistachio/mini SF choc chip, the other is dark chocolate/pecan. I'll try REAL HARD to take pics when it's done!
Lemongrass pork with stir-fried veggies...
The sauce, the veggies, the meat (marinated about 5 hrs), the plate. It was tasty.
Regards, GF.
I actually remembered!!
Those just look fantastic, and ohhhh do I like biscotti!!
I had some leftover chili!:rockin:
I didn't take a pic but i made some pretty good General Tso chicken.
So now my brisket is trimed, tucked into the cure, and in the fridge. I also make some Kosher Dill refrigerator pickles this morning. Cukes were a little bigger than I wanted but it's all I could find. In a week or so I will find out if these are any good or not
Ill pm you the recipe later when i get home. Its easy but cooking it is different if you have never cooked using cornstarch and water mixture. The whole is it a solid or a liquid experiment.
I have a totally undeserved reputation as someone who hates vegetables. (Ok, I have other reputations that may or may not be deserved but I'm talking about vegetables right now..)
Veggies. I like the ones I like. I don't like the ones I don't like. I like these.

Butternut squash gnocchi
Ugh...still hate Brussels sprouts. I keep telling myself that I just haven't found the right recipe yet. I keep trying them and I keep hating them. I like cabbage, though. Weird.
Anyway...Thanksgiving coming up, so it's time for my 32 year tradition: Traditional Scottish Shortbread.

Oh gosh, Melana, those look scrumtious - will you share your recipe? What do you serve them with - browned butter and sage or something else delectable?
Matt, I don't like Brussels sprouts either EXCEPT one way. Washed, trimmed, halved, lightly steamed in the microwave til barely tender, drained, tossed with olive oil and spread evenly on a foil-lined and sprayed baking sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Roast at 400* til just starting to brown, then toss in a good handful of bacon bits (I use the Costco Kirkland brand stuff but homemade would be yummy too!) and roast til a few of the leaves that have dropped off are getting pretty brown. Trust me, they're really good.
Right now I have two huge sheet pans of chicken bones in the oven at 350* to roast off for chicken stock. I save the bones in the freezer til I have enough. There are also a couple halved onions and a couple handsful of peeled garlic cloves in there. Next I'll put everything into my 22 quart roaster oven, add a couple bottles of homebrewed brown ale and some water, bay leaves, salt, thyme, a couple sage leaves, then set it to keep a nice simmer, and cook all night.
Tomorrow we'll pressure can the stuff up and then I'll have great stock for quite a while!

What are you doing with that spinach?
BTW, I make a salad with brussel sprouts. I parboil them to make them soft. In a fry pan, I saute chestnuts, red onion, and bacon. Add to brussel sprouts, sprinkle with lemon. Delish. Reposted from earlier, but what the hell.
Halve 1.5lbs Brussels sprouts, toss with olive oil and salt & pepper, and roast at ~425 for 20-30 minutes.
Cook 6-8 slices of bacon and drain and crumble (save ~1 tbsp of bacon grease)
Sautée 1/2 a red onion in bacon grease until they get some color, then toss in the Brussels sprouts, bacon, a handful of dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, etc.) and a splash of red wine vinegar.
