Whatcha Making for Supper?

I made a garlic cream sauce for the fish, with garlic, butter, heavy cream, lemon, and dijon mustard. It was so good, but how could it not be??? We scooped it onto the rice too.

Turkey and cheese sandwich but also I made a smoothie before that with milk, vanilla whole milk probiotic yogurt, and a frozen strawberry, peach, and banana fruit blend LOL it was YUMMY!!!! It made almost 2 full 16 oz cups. The second one was maybe like an inch from the top so probably several ounces less LOL but yeah. I drank both LOL also just had some pudding a little bit ago.

I'm tickled bc I've been trying to make good fried chicken for 50 years and tonight I finally nailed it!

How did your tomato-less swiss steak turn out? It sure looked good.

It was good. And the meat was tender-ish. But I think my mother used a different cut of beef. But then meat was different in my youth. That could have been it, too.

I used a bottom round, but I did some googling and the cut that comes with a small round marrow bone (like mom used) is round sirloin. I've never seen that cut in a store. Not where I shop anyway. I might ask for it and see what they say.

But I would make it again
I love stew and that is what it basically was. In a smaller portion.

Here's the recipe.

You have to bring the oil back up to temp between batches.

I read that recipe and it does sound very good. It is very similar to the method of brining and marinading and coating that Billy D uses for his fried chicken. I have made Billy D's. It was very good, but a little too much coating for my taste. This one might be a little less coating, so I might try it. Thanks for sharing!

Pizza tonight. I continue my quest to getting comfortable with the dough. One of tonight's pizzas will be pesto and candied cherry tomatoes (slow roasted), and the other a traditional pepperoni.

Ooh, that pesto one stimulated a salivary response here! If you find a good dough recipe, please post it! I need one that does not stick to the counter, and that slides off the pizza peel into the oven.
