Side chick.

Today was Asian day.

We had those Costco Japanese dumplings that they have been advertising.

Rating out of 1-10

Pan fried - 3 - Just didn't do it for me this way. I have had better success with other brands. This also my favorite way to have them prepared. So, I may be a bit critical.

Deep fried - 8 - Tasted much better and the wrapper was thin so it gave it a light crunchy feel. I will cook the rest of these this way.

Sauce - 9 - Hit just right. I shouldn't call this sauce. I should call it a post cooking marinade. LOL I leave them in there for a few minutes to soak up all the goodness.

Two batches of corned beef have been slow cooking since 9AM. Should be fall apart tender by dinner time.









And finally, 4 ingredient soda bread.



Not green beer, but a green can. :)

Does scorching a rat in Classifieds count? :)

Nicely done, did Irish Soda Bread, too!

nice chatter guys and thank you for compliments


nice one there mmalleck. almost thought about making the same but ended up doing a pastrami






rueben damn this thing was huge could only eat half

Well today I learned that my oven cooks faster than expected.

Picked up a Costco premarinated pork tenderloin. 25-30 minutes per pound it said. 3.5 pounds. Come back 1 hour later and it's at 150+. Whoopsie. I thought an hour was safe.

Let me know if you need me to swing by. I can always kill a Reuben.

Nice Sammi!

Something seems amiss with your math.

Pork tenderloins are usually only 1lb-1lb1/2.

Perhaps you calculated your time on the whole package?

This was one of those fat double wide Costco pork tenderloins. Not that skinny Safeway/QFC/Fred Meyer pork tenderloin.

Weighed in at 3.5 pounds.

costco fife got 5lbs for like 2.80 a pound cant remember what cash and carry was

but every time I open on of the little 3 lbers I keep forgetting there's 2 of them suckers

pastrami beans sour kraut, and cactus salad

pastrami kidney and white bean soup

Underneath all the Cabbage, carrots, Onion, Coriander seeds and pepper corns is a Corned beef. (There's red potatoes in there too)
It's being cooked strictly for sandwiches. I love Corned beef Sammie's.
All the rest will be reheated and eaten separately. The smell in the house is amazing.
