What's for dinner?

[FarmerJamie]

Ribs and coleslaw

a few apple pieces and some peanut butter, carrots, pea straws and some bbq chicken (not in that order). oh, and a few cookies. when it gets so cold my body wants to eat everything.

breakfast was coco grits with a hint of fake coffee in it (could not distinctly taste it but it did add another layer to it that i could tell was there) - just a hint added as the rate of me using this stuff up i'll have this half jar for another 10 years.

So we you had mocha grits...🤔 Interesting.

I have one, yes ONE, wittle shank cross cut piece of beef from 2020. Thawed and will make a petite amount of ossobuco tonite!!

i had to look that up but it sounds good to me, it would be a real challenge for me to pick between either this or eggplant parm... i love that too and don't get it very often at all as Mom does not like eggplant and we don't eat out.

various forms of pork also sound really good before breakfast, especially if someone else is cooking and doing dishes!

this morning i'll finish off the last of this box of grits. coco and a bit of fake coffee version today. but i'll wait a bit until Mom gets out of bed. she says she wants to sleep in a bit more and the heat is warming up the house for her too. i understand. it's feeling cold and damp this morning after yesterday's rains and now snow overnight.

eggplant parm.

Now you've done it - I neeeeed some eggplant parm, lol! I have some eggplant in the freezer that was previously baked and scooped out. Not exactly eggplant slices....hmmmmm.

 

[FarmerJamie]

The eggplant was grand

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Does it ease the pain if I said she breaded, fried the slices and made a lasagna dish too?

Nope - not at all! LOL!

But, I am finished with the pig and we are having garlic butter pork tenderloins for dinner with sauteed cabbage/onions and some cute little fingerling potatoes to go with. Eggplant parm will have to wait...

Oh - cabbage, pig and onions all home grown. Yay for sure fire farm food, lol!

@frustratedearthmother goat meat. How do you find the taste of your butchered ones? Have you had the meat ones your raising? Did you find a difference from pure dairy-- beyond quantity, of course?

Your pig adventure brought this to mind 🤣

I can easily sub it instead of beef for most dishes...except a good steak!!! 😁. How about for you?

We loved the pygmy meat! Tasted sorta like lamb and beef had a baby, lol. The next one we butchered we didn't enjoy. Not sure if the meat went off or what, but it had a weird twang to it. That was a kiko/nubian cross. Had a friend of mine who is an afficianado of goat meat try it and she said the same thing - it had a twang. It was a wether and it wasn't breeding season so no idea why we didn't enjoy that one.

We will try again.

Well -- ya never know! The ONLY home grown I've used was saanen/Nubian and about 1.5 yr old, virgin doe. Will report on the next one this fall. 🤞😟 Hope I'm not disappointed. BUT have goat meat friends to share if I am. Geeze, hope not!! Ya know, it cost like lamb in the stores!! Big $$$.

Teriyaki chicken wings and slaw!!!!
