One Year Ago Today

Last year, February 6th was Superbowl Sunday. It was the first time we watched the big game in our new Arizona home. At that time, we had yet to acquire much furniture and we watched the Packers defeat the Steelers while sitting on folding chairs and using a picnic cooler for a table. I grilled up a couple of tenderloin steaks on the little portable charcoal grill. We ate the meal and enjoyed football afterwards. Click on the grill to see the tenderloin steak, baked potato and asparagus meal we ate that day.

What’s For Dinner?

Verna and I have been watching NFL playoffs this weekend, but there is still enough time to enjoy our weekend meals. Yesterday, it was home made chicken pot pies (yum!) and today we had this great southern tradition - chicken fried steaks with mashed potatoes, savory bacon green beans and cut corn. The steaks weren’t the usual bottom round cut, but beef tenderloin (filet mignon). Verna also sauteed some baby portobello mushrooms. Click on the image to enlarge.

Sunday Dinner

Verna has been watching the Food Channel lately. She saw one of the chefs prepare a German-style meal. This gave her the idea to come up with our Sunday menu consisting of breaded pork loin cutlets with potato pancakes and Brussels sprouts. In German, it would be called “Jägerschnitzel mit Kartoffelpfannkuchen und Rosenkohl.” All I know is that it was great! The pancakes were topped with a dollop of sour cream. Missing from the picture is a heaping spoonful of apple sauce. Click on the image to enlarge.
