*** OKIES in the BYC ***

[babyrnlc]

So I sent dh out to check on the water for the chickens and there was another egg in the nest box! We have 2 hens and got 3 eggs today! It was the cornish that laid the second egg! What is with that! I checked yesterday at 4pm, no eggs. We only got one from the cornish yesterday, the ee did not lay yesterday. This morning we found the two frozen eggs (at 7:30), one green speckled and one light brown (the cornish is the light brown) and then just now (2:15 ish) we found the other egg!

I guess the blizzard helped them lol, maybe it is the extra food?

From Al & Laura Seminerio family recipe book

Italian Beef for beef sandwiches

Ingredients

5-10 lb Rump Roast trimmed slightly
3 tbsp beef bullion paste ( better then beef brand ) preferred
Romano cheese hunk 1/2lb
3 tbsp salt
3 tbsp Pepper
3 tbsp Dried basil
3 tbsp Dried oregano
2-3 qts water
2 large green peppers
Olive oil
6” long Italian bread rolls

Directions
Preheat oven to 500 degrees
Pat dry the meat then dry rub on 2 tbsp salt, 2 tbsp pepper, 2 tbsp basil & 2 tbsp oregano, pat the spices to set the rub. Set the meat on a rack in a shallow roasting pan insert a meat thermometer into the center of the meat and place on center rack of oven cook for 1 hr depending on your oven until there is a nice crust on the meat. reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook until the internal temp reaches 120 degrees or rare. Remove roast and set aside it will continue to cook for a few more minutes. let it totally cool.
Au jus prep:
In a large stock pot add the warm water and the bullion paste Wisk until dissolved, add the remainder of the salt, pepper, basil & oregano, cut off 5-6 small chunks of Romano from the hunk and add to the pot cook on med for 10-15 minutes turn off let set.
Cut the green peppers into thin long strips, sauté in a sprits of olive oil until they wilt slightly, set aside.
Using a meat slicer cut the meat against the grain into very thin slices, the thinner the better. Now add the beef to the au jus and check to see if the juice is not to hot but really warm no more. Let it set briefly to meld the flavor of the au jus and the beef.
Serve on the roll with some green peppers and plenty of juice, and that my friend is food of the gods.
Let the remainder cool and store in the freezer in a zip lock bag or small serving size tubs, for later enjoyment, when reheating the beef heat it slowly do not boil it, boiling the beef makes it tough.
Add a nice big piece of grilled Italian sausage to the beef for a combination serve with a tall cold beer and kiss your wife and kids because it is a good day.

Here is the recipe for the crust I used yesterday with my Chicken Pot Pie, it is a good one for quiche too -

Cornmeal Pastry
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup stone-ground yellow or white cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled, unsalted butter, in 1/2-inch slices
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 to 3 tablespoons ice water

Stir together the flour, cornmeal, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork, stir in the egg, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of the ice water together. Add the liquid to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork just until the pastry is moist enough to hold together. Add more ice water, if necessary, a tablespoon at a time. Knead in the bowl for 2 or 3 strokes, just until the dough makes a smooth ball. Wrap the pastry and chill for 30 minutes or until ready to use.
- just before baking, I brush the top crust with one egg (bantam cochin size is perfect) lightly beaten with a little cool water.
