Cottage for the week

[Michael Richards]

Dinner turned out tasty again, beef came out just slightly warmer than anticipated but pretty close.
Lots of left overs, looks like beef on a bun in the near future. Made horsy sauce to go with the beef and for the buns later.

Oh man I really want a plate!

Went and picked up a bunch of fresh veggies for tonight’s dinner....I also have a thick strip ready to go too so the plan is steak tacos with hopefully some pico, fried veggies, hot sauce and either sour creme or shredded cheese.
Shrooms, jalapeño, bell pepper and white and sweet onion are to choose from for veggies.
They had all the stuff to make a guacamole too but just trying to keep things fairly simple for all the cooks this week.
The veggies will get huge chunks of fresh garlic cooked in them too.
If I don’t make back online here in a few days it’s because of the vodka intake....
You would think the older I get the better I would be at drinking vodka everyday.......
I may need someone to dial 9-1-..........and just hover over the last 1 for me.........

That leaves 1 rib eye, 1 more pound of brischuck or a chicken breast with lots of veggies still left for tomorrow nights dinner. The plan was tacos again to easily use up what we have. We leave Saturday so no dinner here Saturday.
Planned the food pretty good, it’s always nice to have about 2 meals too many, generally so your last meal is not what is just left.....it never goes over very good. Having a choice does..........I’ve also been married for a while.....

Thanks for keeping interested in the thread, it’s not really interesting, but when Timothy went away I had fun following him on vacation. I was mostly jealous having to go to work every day. Tonight’s strip and possibly tomorrow’s rib steak below.

Looks like a wonderful day on the Great Lakes! You know I enjoy my time at the cottage and, have already started planning feasts for there next summer. Adding in a couple of fish feeds from the fishmonger just outside of Mackinaw City. I always over plan and over provision but, it beats an additional trip to a store an hour round trip for something.
I’ve gotten tired of “clean out” last day too so I’m trying to plan a little tighter when it comes to leftovers...sometimes it works, more often not so much.

Pretty easy tacos for sure, none of the steak made it to leftovers, it was tasty for sure.
Made a pico, veg, carne crosta for the steak.
Had the little guy going pretty hot, was able to sear around 105 and I rest it in foil.
I think this made it about 5 degrees or so more cooked than I was looking for.
It was still a nice medium or so and tasted great.
The MRS also was a big fan.
Haven’t decided on dinner for tonight yet, it is the last bbq for this trip.
The possibility of a nacho platter with bbq chicken breast and bbq steak is on.
It’s a boat load of food so we may choose something more sane.
Thanks again.

Going into leftover mode.....breakfasts are more fun and lunch today was really good.
Really big too.
Too big for sides. Mostly super thin cut leftover picanha with lots of horsey sauce on a toasted bun.
Dinner is almost ready, have a large chicken breast almost thawed out and made another pico, this one much improved over yesterday’s. Will be using gringo grande from our friend Malcom for the seasoning as it is already in the rice.
Veg is good to go too and I have leftover red beans and rice I am going to try and get a crisp on one side if I am lucky.
The MRS said a taco bowl meal was in order...I can get more stuff in a bowl than I can 2 taco shells for sure!
There will be lots of food to tonight, any left overs will be crazy breakfast!

Last meal, tasty, the fried corn, pico, cheese and sour creme was a great combo with the gringo grande chicken.
It would have been great in a taco shell.
Took the chicken off the jumbo at 158 and it was a juicy breast for sure.
The wind settled and the moon is out for one last pic.

This is really how it goes, someone does my work but like half.....2 full days of catchup Monday morning...

Glad the thread was mildly entertaining and you guys let me post all my pics of all my meals up.

One last sunrise?? I slept in to about 7:30 today....just in time to start getting used to sleeping in right before work starts again. Fun.
Caught a few flocks of geese too.

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Yep, I get all settled in to the sleep until eight thirty regimen and then it’s back to 6:30! The thing about the cottage where we go is the quiet! I live on a busy street and right now, there is still bank construction going on. 7:00 this morning beep beep beep eep reverse equipment running almost non stop! Why do we need banks on every corner?

That’s so weird. My bank is an app on my phone and I haven’t been inside my bank’s branch in more than 4 years.

It’s a nice day today and the bar is open

I f everything else wasn't good enough, you got me with the Makers 46. To me it is one of the best value bourbons.
