What's for dinner?

- Start date
We're having a nice snowstorm (12-14" so far and 4' at sis' cabin) so I've been simmering a nice beef/vegetable stew all day and sipping hot chocolate with coffee and schnapps between chores [emoji4][emoji41]

It's rare, but yesterday I went to the grocery store with my wife with one goal ….. do some window shopping for something to grill tonight. What caught my eye was some marinated pork loins on sale for $5.99 (regular $9.99). I picked out a garlic n herb loin.
On the Traeger for 40 minutes and it was a perfect 165 degrees. After resting for a bit I sliced it into about 3/4" pieces and got after it. You could cut the bites with your fork and it just melted in your mouth! I'm heading back in the am to see if there's any left …..
And btw, there's enough left for us both to have sandwiches tomorrow - all for $5.99! [emoji4]

Dinner last night was a bit of jump on St. Patrick's Day. I cooked Corned Beef and Cabbage and served it with an Irish Whisky, Mustard and Horseradish Cream Sauce.
Well, just threw the turnips, parsnips, rutabagas into the pot with the corned beef and carrots. Soon as it boils again will throw in the cabbage. Corned beef and cabbage makes a significant part of my frozen rations for 1/4 of the year. Delicious and freezes very well.
edited cause forgot the rutabagas

I've gotta say, those are 3 things that I definitely can do without! As a matter of fact, a number of years ago I had a buddy call me up and say he had gotten a great deal on a nice roast beef and wanted to know if I wanted to come over for a nice "pot roast". I gladly accepted. When I arrived, the smell was fantastic. He handed me a large bowl and I opened the crockpot and served myself a large portion of tender roast beef, and hunks of carrots, potatoes, and onions. I sat down and dug in! The roast tasted as good as it smelled, and the carrots and onions were delicious too. When I stabbed a hunk of potato with my fork, I noticed something was odd. The consistency wasn't quite right. I tasted it, and was surprised because it wasn't a potato. It was a parsnip! I am not a fan. Maybe it was because he didn't cook them properly, or maybe it was because I was expecting potato flavor, but even though I am someone that doesn't leave food on my plate, I left the parsnips behind.

And that is the reason that i dont really care for vegtable soup.
my mom made it in a pot bigger than that and thought we should it for several days after. i am glad mom and dad let us have BPJ sandwiches with it .

Tonight's dinner I'm calling "Game Keeper's Pie". The portion is pheasant with a little bacon I put through the old hand me down grinder.
