What's on the menu for everyone today??
Travel day - so I think I'll just do a simple pasta dish of some kind.

Pastrami paninis but I can't decide if I should do the sour cream caper sauce from the new issue or use the Irish cheddar cheese w/scallions and roasted onions I picked up at TJ's yesterday. If the cheese sounds good to anyone, pick it up soon as they said they only carry it in March.

Today it's saltimbocca chicken or tarragon cream chicken with some 'gus.

I combined two recipes to braise a pork shoulder roast, using the method and the braising liquid for lamb shanks in Ruhlman's book, "How to Braise". I cooked it earlier so that I could let the liquid cool and remove all the fat before thickening it for gravy. Pretty darn tasty, if I do say so myself.

Leftovers will be used for Pork and Pappardelle and Moo Shu Pork, which Ron loves.

I can post the recipe if you want it. It turned out really well, so I imagine with lamb shanks it would be even better!

When you get a minute, that would be great, Maryann. Hopefully it's something I can do in the trailer.

I like the sound of that cookbook, Maryann! I'll be checking that one out. I have fallen in love with braising! It fits well with my new lifestyle....prep and put it on early and let it go!
