Lemon Meringue! Mmmmm
Awesome Golden Peaks there!
I don’t know where you live but try to find some ‘real’ Polish kielbasa - with real casings. This past Easter I bought fresh raw kielbasa for the first time - that was great! I always put a ring of Kielbasa around the Ham being cooked for Easter - all the flavors meld :)
I will try to find the real deal. Put some around ham, that is a good idea. I like Cook's brand the best around here although there are tons of choices. I like their cure and buy the more expensive end but only for something special. I don't fuss any more with glazes, have a meat slicer but only drag it out for a lot of meat. Then I make soup out of the bone and what's left on it.
This is changing the subject, but one night my son brought me a plate of beef roast, mashed potatoes and forget what else. I told him you know I can't chew meat sliced with the grain because I only have a few teeth left (don't look a gift horse in the mouth). Well, I got my knife and sliced small pieces across the grain.
That roast beef was so flavorful I could not believe it, made it's own gravy, maybe credit to his wife 'cuz they both cook. I thought it was chuck roast but it could have been a more expensive cut like rump or sirloin tip, surely not prime rib. I asked him where he got that beef. His business partner buys a half a cow from a farmer. Oh my, I'd love to have some meat like that!
Oh thanks about the lemon meringue pie. It's not something I would make too often because it's a little acidic but I've always been crazy about it and you can only get good purchased pies a couple places and quite expensive. Did you know you can use that box mix and use cream instead of water (directions for the way I made this one are on there) and it is heavenly for filling, especially meringues I used to make with whip cream on top.
That satay chicken sounded so good. I'm crazy for Asian food and it's so good for you. But I have to buy so much extra I don't normally cook with. I have some of the special stuff on hand but then I run into a recipe that needs something else. I've never tried jasmine rice. You can get it at the store raw. Lots of Asians around here.
Are we going to have any more recipe threads? I found a great recipe for Iowa Ham Balls that I want to contribute.
