Do we have a cooking thread here?

So I picked up this pork rib roast from Costco for 12 dollars. I rubbed it down with olive oil, then coated with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Placed it in a ziploc bag overnight in the fridge.

The next day, pulled it out for 30 minutes, pulled it from the bag and placed it into an aluminum pan. Added a little soy sauce and chicken broth over the meat.

Turned up Emiril's convection oven to 380 degrees, cooked it uncovered for 25 minutes.
Turned the temperature down to 325 degrees and cooked until a thermometer read 145 degrees internal temperature.

Wrapped in aluminum foil and used the strained drippings for a gravy. Browned mushrooms in some butter in a small pot, added a small scoop of flour, then added some chicken stock and the drippings.

Then enjoyed the roast and gravy.

That looks fantastic!

Beef on the left, venison to the right.
Wish I could share it with everybody!
SOOOOOO tender...almost too tender!

[keavdog]

That also looks fantastic! Never rolled up a flat iron steak - I'll have to try that.

Ohhh my stars! Yummmmmo

 I never have either (only ever had done on the grill).
The only reason I did it, was to make it thicker, so smoking time would be about the same as the venison.

I've always wanted to try this. Thank you for such an informative posting!

You're welcome, sir! 🥃  Give it a try; if you enjoy other greens such as turnip greens, collard or mustard greens, then you will probably like poke salad too. 😊

Seeing all this tasty food calls for a reset.  Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Top Ramen:



Dupes will get why I'm posting this, but for the rest of you here is a bit of explanation.  Although I have never tried Top Ramen, I have read many jokes about the product, and how it was a staple of college students living far from home.  By its name and reputation, I had assumed this was some sort of US-invention, seasoned for American tastes and such.  Much to my surprise it is a Japanese product.

I recently sent Dupes a box of MaK models to help thin my stash, and he joked that he trusted I sent him kits rather than packages of ramen.  I was not aware that "ramen in lieu of paid for goods" was a thing, since I don't ship stuff out much.  I had shared the story with my coworkers - and lo and behold, this package of Top Ramen was presented to me by my coworkers this morning!

Looks like it will be Ramen Friday this week!  A full report will follow.

 I couldn't even afford Ramen, for a time. I literally ate dog food. CHEAP dog food...$3 for 20lbs cheap!

I do love me some Ramen though, and it is a regular on the list to this day!(quick and simple!)
You can "gourmet" it up! Once it's boiling good, stir in 2 eggs and keep stirring. Once all is done and ready for the bowl, throw some shredded cheese at it (I like colby/jack).

My wife's version of doctored up ramen a couple years ago. It was awesome.

[stuart]

I do a lot of cooking - I used to do cookery demonstrations to help sell the cookery book my wife wrote - all Veggie I hate to say 

We often fire up the fire pit (no pun intended) and cook some medieval recipes - with some booze to hand obviously.

Cheers!

LOL! Yeah but we had a much better Navy back then...

To be fair, it tasted a HELL of a lot better than it looked.

Okay, so we had the Top Ramen today for lunch at the office!  Everyone pitched in for the toppings:



My thoughts - the ramen was OK, the soup was kind of like chicken broth rather than authentic ramen dashi, but it was also OK.  Our secretary, er office admin manager, was the only one not terribly thrilled.

Looks like a fun way to cook Stuart.

 Very similar...
I chop a couple strips of bacon (for grease and flavor), throw in onions and peppers. Once those are cooked down, I'll throw sliced venison.
Hoagie bun...Swiss on bottom, load it up, Swiss on top (sometime Mountain Jack)...and throw it in the oven. Melted cheese holds it all together!
I do a aus ju packet and add Carribean jerk (for a little "heat"). French Freedom Dip!!!

Saturday evening...



Canned (homegrown) potatoes and green beans(w/bacon and onion)
Charcoal grilled bacon wrapped venison backstrap and tenderloin.
Fried morels (brought up by my buddy from Indy)
