**walks in, bleary eyed, stumbling a lil bit**  ~hic~  heyyyy gurlllll!!!!

WHEWWEEEE!!!!  Damn partying is no JOKE!!!  Feel like I could sleep till tomorrow!  But I got way too much **** to get ready today for next week!  

I'm going to do baked chicken breasts - seasoned with sage and thyme and smothered in cream of chicken soup after I pan sear them.  And also some spaghetti mac - kicked up sauce w/ground turkey and extra italian seasoning - will use elbow pasta or rotellini. 

And umm - DATS ALL FOLKS!!!! 

I don't just have issues, I have subscriptions!  I'm saving on the newsstand price.......

My feezer is low so I'm cooking today whether I like it or not.   I'm going to stew down some boneless pork chops Trinidadian style. 

I'll also be doing meatballs, meat loaf, and burger patties with a combo of ground chicken, lean ground beef and ground turkey.  All for the freezer.  I have skinless boneless chicken thighs too but I'm not sure what I'll do with them yet.  Last, some of Ms #1MM's salmon croquettes.

Sounds like a lot but most of it goes in the oven together then to the freezer.  With oven roasting bags and aluminum foil, clean up is simple.

Not so much a recipe as back to my West Indian roots.  I've just altered it a little post op.  I use a family pack of chops 6-8, percision is not important.  you can use any meat you prefer.  Makes a nice brown stew chicken, beef, pork, or lamb even liver. 

Traditional                                          
*Meat, any kind                                  
*Thyme, 1 sprig fresh or about a tsp ground
*1 Bay leaf
*1 Onion, medium sliced thin 
*1 garlic clove, minced
*Salt to taste
*Black pepper to taste
*Cooking wine or wine vinegar
*Tbsp cooking oil
*2 Tsps sugar or browning sauce
*Optional - 1 Tomato small, peeled and diced, or a tbsp of tomato paste, or a qurter cup canned chopped tomato product
       
Traditional
*Trim and rinse meat.  Moisten with wine or wine vinegar and add seasonings except tomato.  Let marinade at least four hour or over night for best flavor. 
*Heat pot with oil on medium high --works best with a cast iron dutch oven or any pot that takes high heat well 
*meanwhile, Separate meat from seasonings in marinade
*When the oil is good and hot sprinkle sugar and let it carmelize into a browning sauce or add browning sauce
*When the sugar darkens or immediatly after adding browning sauce, swirl the contents around the bottom of the pan to coat
*Immediately add meat only stirring freqently to brown all sides 
*Reduce heat to medium, continue to stir until you have desired darkness in color
*Add marinade and all seasonings then rinse marinading dish with a cup of water and add the liquid to pot
*Add tomato
*Reduce heat to medium low, cover allowing steam to vent, coo****ill tender and liquid becomes gravy, add more liquid during cooking if you desire more gravy
*remove thyme and bay leaf before serving

My Post op variation:  
*Trim all visible fat from meat
*Substitute onion and garlic powder if low carbing
* Use only 1 tsp browning sauce if low carbiing
*Substitute Pam instead of oil

*Trim and rinse meat.  Moisten with wine or wine vinegar and add seasonings except tomato.  Let marinade at least four hour or over night for best flavor. 
*Heat pot sprayed liberally with Pam --works best with a cast iron dutch oven or any pot that takes high heat well 
*meanwhile, Separate meat from seasonings in marinade
*When Pam begins to darken add browning sauce
*When swirl the contents around the bottom of the pan to coat
*Immediately add meat only stirring freqently to brown all sides 
*Reduce heat to medium, continue to stir until you have desired darkness in color
*Add marinade and all seasonings then rinse marinading dish with a cup of water and add the liquid to pot
*Add tomato
*Reduce heat to medium low, cover allowing steam to vent, coo****ill tender and liquid becomes gravy, add more liquid during cooking if you desire more gravy
*remove thyme and bay leaf before serving

Variation for liver:
*Omit oil
*Fry bacon and remove when crisp
*Pour off excess bacon grease
*Cook liver per above
*Crumble bacon over finished liver

Variation for curry:
*Omit sugar, browning sauce, tomato
*Add 1 Potato, large diced
*Add 1 tbsp curry to seasoning marinade
*Heat pan on medium heat
*Brown curry in oil or Pam before adding meat being careful not to burn it
*Cook per above adding potato with marinade

Let me know how it turns out.
