What's for Dinner, Sat. 8/28 - cjs - 08-28-2010 What's everyone up to?? We're having leftover Pork Adobo - C@H Slow cooker recipe I did earlier this week - but, this time I have the mango and papaya for the salsa, so will probably be better. Made some Canadian Bacon yesterday and tried it this morning with Blueberry Pancakes - the bacon was delicious, but the blueberry pancakes...not so great. HOpe everyone has a great weekend. Re: What's for Dinner, Sat. 8/28 - Gourmet_Mom - 08-28-2010 Jean, that Canadian Bacon looks sooo good. I think that may have to be my next smoking experience. (Must remember to get a pork loin next weekend!) I'm all alone tonight. William went to help YS move. I'm thinking about treating myself to the Chicken Parmesan Roulades, but I haven't decided yet. If I made that, I'd have to go to the store. So I may raid the fridge and see if I've got something else I can stuff the chicken with.

Re: What's for Dinner, Sat. 8/28 - cjs - 08-28-2010 Oh thanks a lot - look what the skinniest ones in the group are going to wave in front of us...... Re: What's for Dinner, Sat. 8/28 - Ennui - 08-28-2010 The Canadian bacon looks like a 5 star. I have no idea what we are eating. Looks likea sandwich night since our kitchen is still in disarray. Re: What's for Dinner, Sat. 8/28 - cjs - 08-29-2010 Well, a final review on the C@H Slow Cooker recipe - Pork Adobo with Tropical fruit salsa and the side of rice cakes. The only good thing about the whole recipe was the fruit salsa - but how can you go wrong with pineapple, mango, papaya, green onions and rice vinegar??? It was delicious. The flavor of the pork was nice, but the jus from cooking was just superfluous, imo - what to do with it? Thicken for a gravy, didn't sound appetizing; drizzle over the meat and rice? that's what we did, but... And, the rice cakes did not work at all - as I was mixing them, I thought there was no way they would hold together, but I went ahead and tamped them into molds and allowed them to rest for a couple hours. They disintegrated the minute they hit the skillet. so, a bastardized version of fried rice resulted. A big slash through page 69!! Re: What's for Dinner, Sat. 8/28 - BarbaraS - 08-29-2010 Well, it turned out to be some pretty good fried chicken. I triple coated the pieces and used a chicken breader but added more salt and pepper. This was from issue #56. Lodge cast iron rocks! Barbara Re: What's for Dinner, Sat. 8/28 - Mare749 - 08-29-2010 I agree, Barbara, that's the only way to make fried chicken, IMHO! Thanks for the review. Looks like I forgot to post yesterday. Holly had the family over. Bob grilled chicken, and we had the best corn on the cob we have had all summer. I made a chile relleno casserole, but added a layer of zukes, onions, and topped with tomatoes. We had marinaded vegs, and Heather made cornbread. We were stuffed.
