Lunch at Northern Pines.
Split Pea Soup.
And a chef salad with parmesan garlic bread.
They ran out of turkey. The waitress said there’s a turkey shortage 
It’s was still very good with extra piggy.
Back home for dinner at Chez Minnie
Tex-Mex Turkey stuffed peppers
With smokey red pepper crema, pickled onions, and melted cheese.
Just a couple small bone-in rib eye steaks from an amazing local butcher. Sous vide at 53°C for just under 3 hours, then finished on a blistering hot grill pan. Next time I’ll finish over charcoal… The only way this amazing steak could be improved.
I am shocked. Looks really yammy
Tell me about your grill pan? I’m looking at getting one as I don’t have one just my cast iron flat pan I use for “grilling” at times. Is yours cast iron? Steel? Nonstick? (Etc).
Edit to add, I just decided to “add this
to cart” 
Had to go with cast iron lol
Yum!! Those look great, I might have to try them with Gouda myself 
Pepper Jack is such a great name, it sounds nice, we don’t have it here unforts.
I like your before and after pictures, really great 
Always nice to see the ingredients.
I follow a lot of hiking/ through hikers and I always love how they lay out all their gear so you can see what they bring. So I thought it would be fun to do something similar with a recipe
Dinner last night was a can of organic lentil soup as the base, then chopped the remaining roasted veggies (brussels sprouts, butternut squash, cauliflower and red onion), the last of some salsa roja (jarred) and salsa verde (homemade), and some tomato purée from garden tomatoes, a few extra spices, then simmered until thickened and served on Royal Blend quick cooking wild rice blend. It was sooooo tasty! I’m having it for lunch today. I love repurposing leftovers.
True story…
Son at 5: Mom, what is your favorite food?
Me: Leftovers
Son: That’s not food. What’s your favorite food?
Me: Leftovers
Repeat two more times …
Son: Really Mom, what is your favorite food?
Me: Leftovers
Son starts to cry…
Me: Pizza
Ha! This made me laugh!!! Your poor son just didn’t get it.
The funny thing to say is at the age of 25 (next week) he still doesn’t. But that isn’t true. That man (Gawd, I want to call him a boy) is pretty darned sharp! Not afraid to cry, though. I love that about him.
That looks delicious!!
Back to the Lumberyard Brewery for lunch.
Creamy poblano chicken soup.
They do the best soups.
Pork schnitzel sandwich with horseradish sauce pickled cabbage lettuce and tomato. Meh. It was a good idea but poorly executed. And some under fried onion rings 
fuckers.
Good choice IMO. My wife hates it when I use my grill pan. I could have sent you mine 
Nicely done 
I need details! 
What doesn’t she like about it? Just prefers bbq you mean?
