    mojo salmon and broccoli slaw by Rusty Clark, on Flickr

    stir-fried "broccoli slaw" and grilled mojo salmon. my first time cooking salmon. not sure i liked it, had skin on it, then a weird brown layer under the skin, and white slimy blobs oozing out while it cooked. once i scraped all that stuff off, there wasn't much left. rofl. the dogs loved all the icky parts, though, and at least it didn't have any bones.

  • went looking for some flatout light bread at walgreens and walmart, and all they had left was smelling whole grain flatbread that gave me flashbacks to wheatina hot cereal. gawd, that stuff made me gag when momz would put it on the table some mornings. my fave was cream of wheat with lots of milk and sugar. lol

    here's supper, cheap lamb blade steaks, can't be corn fed, since mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey. A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you-oo? and all organic veggies in the wok, with no theme song. first time i have ever eaten sweet potato. was indistinguishable in the mix with ginger and some veg broth.

  • ok, i'm thinking, how would pizza work on a big flat portobello mushroom, maybe fried first with the bacon press on it?

    anyway . . . . here's breakfast.

    Love it!

    Portobello works for pizza - just cook it a bit first in the oven so it doesn't hang on to too much water. It won't be a hand-held pizza (You'll need a fork/knife) like some of the other alternate crusts, but the flavors work!

    For portobello what you want to do to keep them from being soggy is called degilling. Scrape out all the fluffy black spores laden gills. That is where the moisture mostly comes from. T teaspoon works well for this procedure
  • thank you, susannah and lowcarb, for the shroom advice. i've never tried portobellos, i'll grab some next time i hit the co-op. [degilling sounds brutal - lol]

    the other face on mars, er, my plate:

  • bored yet? i skipped supper last night, wasn't hungry . . . no wonder. lol

    here's simple breakfast today. love these egg rings, but i've learned to give them a spritz of nonstick spray before i use them. keeps the cheese from glomming on.

    First time posting pictures...So I'm sorry if I goof! I'll try to fix it.

    I was excited that I was actually able to cook today so I thought I'd share my experiment.

    Today I made a buttered, beer shrimp with spaghetti squash and green beans.

    16 net carbs for the meal (if you don't end up drinking the rest of the beer you used for the shrimp!)

    Have been hungry for ribs - could you share your recipe/method? Wonder how well it would do on pork - would think just fine...
  • hi susannah!

    i just put the ribs on foil in a large pan and sprinkled some powdered garlic and montreal steak seasoning on the convex side, then put them in a 325 oven. i added sliced onions to the top for the last hour--the onions add some sweetness. i use the larger aluminum foil, so i pull the extra width loosely up over the ribs a bit, leaving an inch of space down the center of the pan, i think it keeps the edges from getting too dry. you could loosely tent them, instead. every hour i flipped them so that the two sides each simmered in the fat. i don't cut them apart until they are done, to keep the meat more tender. if you poke them with a fork after a couple hours and they are soft, take them out and cut them apart.

    i do this with baby back ribs and st louis ribs [pork]. you can speed it up by either boiling them for a little while before cooking, or start out with the oven at 400, then lower it to 325 after 30 minutes or so.

    it's all very unstructured. lol

    spaghetti squash with spinach, onions garlic and bacon by Rusty Clark, on Flickr

    i even forgot the salt and pepper til i was almost finished eating. that doesn't happen very often. the bacon was nuked, since i was hungry, but it seems like you need it to balance the slightly sweet onion/squash flavors.

    here's where i nabbed the reciped i started with. i used spinach instead of turnip tops, and coconut oil but much less than the recommended olive oil; just wasn't necessary.
