Here was yesterday: a really thick. pan-fried porterhouse pork chop (one of Mike's "woo-hoo" specials from Kroger's) topped with a 'shroom/garlic/thyme/sherry sauce teamed up with tiger beans and braised lacinato kale (onions and chicken stock, spiced up with some red pepper flakes).

You guys must have taken some chef classes.....
I love a happy family get together that has no drama!It was so great to hang out with my family and cook together. Everyone played a significant part in making the meal. No drama, no arguments, just a great time had by all.

And all you guys make me look bad when it comes to cooking!! Yesterday, breakfast for dinner, tonight, left over pizza..but I did have a great Happy hour with the greatest of friends and enjoyed a bottle of CS Shiraz
( Hubby is battling "the great cold" and it's hard to motivate one's self to cook for one )
More fun tonight! Hanger steak, prepared with a classic chimichurri sauce. Also made sides of glazed carrots from a Mark Bittman recipe (balsamic vinegar, garlic, sherry), and Brussels sprouts (the usual browned and braised, but this time flavored with tarragon in addition to Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese). Finally, we also made this salad once again with the amazing flavors. It has nice greens and basil, with preserved lemons and candied ginger, dressed with a vinaigrette with thyme and lemon. Amazing explosion in the mouth.

I did make him a pot full. I just got tired of eating it lolWhy not make him some chicken soup?? My mother would make chicken soup that could grow back a limb!
I'm making "Alice Springs Chicken" tonight. Think I'll serve it with some basic pasta sauteed w/ parsley, lemon and butter, and a simple salad. Was tempted to serve with Rose, but now I'm thinking Pinot Noir.
Never heard of it! But now you (and the google machine) got me thinking about trying it tonight! I may just copy your menu down to the details...
Hmmm, or maybe chicken saltimbocca ...
LOVE some saltimbocca!!!! Alice Springs Chicken was made famous by Outback Steak House. Basically, a honey mustard marinade/sauce smothered in bacon and cheese. Recommended by 4 out of 5 cardiologists!
Edit: I just Google'd for recipes and found many similar, though not the same as the one I'm using. They all sound pretty good though. I've never made this before - think I got the recipe from my father - but I'll be sure to post up my thoughts later. One thing I thought was sacrilege was frying the bacon separately, while/after the chicken is browned. Oh no! I'll be doing the bacon first, then browning the chicken in that same pan with some of the leftover, rendered bacon fat.
Leftover bacon fat is a foreign concept to me. Doesn't everyone cook bacon to be able to "harvest" the fat? I always add some to the canola oil I use to do the GF chicken parmesean, it makes the canola oil flavor palatable.. . . with some of the leftover, rendered bacon fat.

Oh lord, this is too funny. I JUST thought about this, and put the bacon in a big cast iron pan. I lit the burner and said, "Hell, I am going to cook the dish in this pan! I may just spoon out a little bit of the grease out if it looks like it is too much." Then I decided to check WMT to see if you were going to "be okay" with my stealing your dinner idea.
So far, bacon is cooking and honey mustard sauce is made. I'm using BST instead of BSB. Those are dry-brining as we "speak."
