Interesting...when I cook sausage, peppers & onions, I always serve it on a toasted Coney bun, it's messy but that's part of the attraction. [big grin]

You are so bad - in a good way!  Toasted buns can be so essential to culinary nirvana, or can be so painful on Mondays after visiting the beach on Sunday and falling asleep. [big grin]

Making the dish did seem wrong on several levels.  First cutting the sausage up sorta felt like "breaking the law" and second the sausage is often served on a roll as a sandwich.

Tonight I made French onion soup and sockeye salmon with green beans and pearled couscous.  We kinda break the law by using provolone cheese instead of swiss cheese.

Today's breakfast:
A mixed berry smoothie with a capful of Nielsen-Massey vanilla and 3 or 4 mint leaves. That removes all of the tartness of the different berries.

That seems too healthy!  Did you put any yogurt in there or is it all berries?

Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, yogurt, half of a lonely avocado, cranberry juice, a banana, mint & vanilla...nummy. [smile]

I like them because they stick to my ribs and I don't feel the need to snack during the day.

Thursday we had Hoisin Shrimp which I've previously discussed. Everything gets baked in the oven, vegetables & mushies for 15 minutes and the shrimp for 4 minutes. It's all served over rice noodles with some Hoisin sauce on the side.

Here's a photo of the dish before plating and a photo of some fresh Thai basil from the garden that will be used for garnish.

That sounds pretty good.  Do you have the rest of the cooking instructions?

Last night we made italian sausage, peppers, and onions with spaghetti and Caesar salad.  The dish was almost like a sausage cacciatore.

  Michaels of Brooklyn. We used to live around the corner from them - way back when (50's -80's) they were simply a pizzeria. In the last so many years that pizzeria morphed into a very nice upscale- though not trendy, Italian restaurant. There really aren't many trendy restaurants  that section (Marine Park) of Brooklyn.

And they bought the building across the street from Michaels that was once a bar and turned it into a busy bakery where they make the sauce.

 

[GoingMyWay]

Did you like their sauce?

I didn't realize their history. I just bought the jar of sauce because it looked "fanciest."  We were originally gonna buy Rao's sauce but then I found this jar in a different section. It was slightly bigger and slightly more expensive than Rao's (just over $8).

Yum yum [emoji3].

How long did you cook the onions? they look nicely caramelized!

I think you're asking about the onions for the onion soup?

It took a surprisingly long time - I think about 45 minutes over medium high heat, stirring every 3-5 minutes so they didn't burn.

I've heard you can cook them in a Dutch oven in the oven for like an hour+ if you don't want to have to constantly stir and watch the onions on the stovetop.

Yeah, sorry my bad, should have mentioned that [big grin] But indeed for the onion soup I meant. Takes ages..., worth waiting for, looks awesome!

Used some white wine as-well?

 

[GoingMyWay]

No worries. I figured that's what you were talking about.

I use red wine and chicken broth.

Aha, I need to try that. Normally I use white wine

Rotisserie chicken with peaches is one of my favorites

 

[GoingMyWay]

Rotisserie chicken with peaches sounds good.  Ever grill pineapple?  I've always wanted to try, but never had.

Last night is a bit of a repeat - pork chops with mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, and apple sauce.  But it was probably one of the fastest meals I've ever made.  Used the premade Simply Mashed Potatoes, canned sauerkraut, and powdered gravy.  Dinner was ready in 20 minutes or less.  That's like record time for me!

Yes grilled pineapple spears are fantastic. Tonight I did a rack of ribs.

Also pictures is last night's spare ribs. Chicken I did for lunches.

Not a cooking post. . .yet. I've been lusting over the 26" Weber kettles ever since I discovered them. Over the weekend I picked up a 2013 26" Weber kettle second hand and spent some time cleaning it up. I'm looking forward to the increased real estate for when I need it:
