RE: "Tomorrow I am making Lobster Thermador"

Dang, Cath- YUM! :)

RE: "I wish you and Cathy both could come over lol."

Wouldn't that be a hoot, janie? FUN! :)
 
The Lobster Thermador was just so heavenly & rich I could not ask for it to turn out any better!!! We had Avacado Salads and Yellow Puerto Rican Rice and Garlic Bread!!! For desert Tres Leche's Cake...OMGoodness am I Happy!!! A few glasses of wine with dinner, and I am done!!!!

We will get together one day ya' all, I am sure of it!!!:) When we do WATCH OUT!!!!!
 
Yes it would be a wonderful time!

I made burrito casserole and I roasted a chicken stuffed with garlic and herbs.
Yesterday I grilled two steaks my MIL gave me and made baked potatoes to go with. She told me anything I found in their fridge while they were gone I could have and well they had two 8oz new york strip steaks in the freezer lol.
I aslo made a pot of chili for my FIL today. Dropped it off to him this evening.
 
Big fan of lobster. Sounds delicious, I'll be round for dinner.:D

Today dinner is very simple
Lincoln sausages
Mashed pots
Peas
Runner beans
Mini yorkshire puddings
Onion gravy.
 
That sounds wonderful. Are the sausage you eat rether mild? I did notice you mention having sausage often and I am wondering if it is different from the sausage we eat in the USA? I am afraid if I ate our sausage too often I would die of a clogged artery!
 
I love a good sausage, and mine a very lean, no msg, no additives. I will eat about 4 a month, I don't think that is excessive. I usually make about 16 links in one go and give some to my Mum and some to my elder sister.
 
The regional differences are mainly the herbs and seasoning put in them. I would say that British recipe sausage would be considered mild, meat/ pork and or beef, breadcrumbs, herbs, onion and different seasonings to give the flavours.
 
At several hotels I worked at we had lean versions of heart-healthy chicken & apple sausages on our breakfast menus. These were always popular and some brands were quite good. One brand in particular was flavored w/ sage and I loved them!

At Alaskan resorts we always served reindeer sausage as well- VERY popular w/ tourists!
 
Emily- parsnips are delicious! In fact, combined along w/ carrots and turnips, blanched then sauteed in butter, they are one of my FAV Fall veggies!

Your homemade sausages sound very similar to our meatloaf recipes! All the sausage we buy or make here in the states have no added bread crumbs. Some of the cheaper varities may add a ground soy product, but the better brands are strictly meat, fat, and seasonings! My favorite sausage is in a casing (called link sausage) and smoked! I do not care for patty sausage as it is generally too fat for my tastes. Like you I eat just a little sausage every now & then. I would love to have it much more often, but my arteries would clog:D
 
The only sausages I know are in casings. I use the natural one when I can get it, otherwise it is the synthetic kind. Which will keep forever in the bottom of the fidge.

I prefer using the natural casing as they have more give in them than the sythetic. My husband is always facinated at the way I link them, he says I make it look easy.

That's just because when I was in school one of my Saturday jobs was working for the local butcher.

Nothing learned is ever a waste, don't you think.
 
I am roasting a chicken stuffed with herbs tonight. Tomorrow we will have roasted chicken, biscuits, mashed taters & roasted garlic gravy.
 
We are having stir-fry chicken tomorrow. I did buy some sesame oil today to use with fresh mushrooms and onion and oriental veggies. I'll make white rice with it.

We had grilled steak w/Cesar salad and a baked potato w/sour cream today. Cookie :)
