The last week has been pretty busy … lots of work around the house and lots of cooking … but mainly left overs … until Friday!! Friday I made a Spicy Pork and Pineapple Stir-fry … picture at left … that was excellent, amazing what you can do with a fresh pineapple!! Finished eating the Tortola Rum Cake that I made last weekend … have to make another one soon. Yesterday was clean up the yard day … pick up the dog poop … mow the lawn for the first time this year … clean the Smoker!! 😊 The Smoker … a Weber Smoky Mountain … my favorite outside cooker!! And what better way to initialize it this spring … than with Smoked Meatloaf!! Not only smoked for three hours … but stuffed with cheese and wrapped in a blanket of bacon!! And as the Smoker can hold up to 28 pounds of meat, I also did a chicken and a pork loin. Easiest thing to do … rub them with my special secret mix of spices and put them on the lower level of the Smoker for 3 hours also. So for supper last night had smoked chicken with potato salad and coleslaw … tonight I am using the rest of the chicken … and bacon … and freshly made pasta … to make a Smoked Chicken Carbonara … mmmm, mmmm, good (apologies to Campbell’s Soup). The smoked pork …. Probably make Mexican Pulled Pork tacos with half, and smoked pork chili with the other half. The meat loaves (yes, two … one bacon wrapped, and the other, not) … I am sure they will be eaten over the next week or two 😊 A weeks worth of suppers coming from a 3 hours smoking session 😊 … And, the hardest thing about smoking chicken?? … Finding the right size rolling papers!! 😊. I kept up with watching Russian series on Netflix this past week – started and finished Seasons 1 and 2 of ‘The Sniffer’, just started Season 3 … it keeps getting better … and so does my Russian 😊. Kelly and I have finished watching ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ on Amazon Prime, it has been fairly good – have to wait until next November for Season 4. Caught up on the final season of Schitt’s Creek – sorry to see it go, it was a lot of fun. Might take a look see at ‘Fleabag’ on Amazon Prime – it had rather good reviews … and a few Golden Globes from this year. Have to go roll some pasta …Have a great and safe week … we will see you in a bit!!
