Cooking

I have debated back and forth on whether or not I want to use this blog to share my menu and recipes.  I plan weekly meals only when hubby is in town.  When he is out of town I usually make one big meal on Monday and eat the left overs for two days until it is gone.  Then I make another meal and eat that for two days.  So to post my menu would probably be pretty boring.   However, I do have a friend who has a blog and she shares her menu.  You can find her blog here.   On weeks that hubby is home, I tend to copy her menu.  ;)   A couple weeks ago she posted about having country fried steak for dinner.  My dad made this for me growing up and I have not had any in probably 6 years.  I waited for her review but alas she did not make it yet.  So, I made it tonight.  

Overall is was good.  My husband who has never had it before says he likes it and wants it again.  However, I will be making adjustments.  I think it could use some crushed garlic and maybe some onion powder, as well as way more pepper.  I could not taste any pepper at all.  The gravy was the perfect consistency, however it too was a bit bland and needs more seasoning.  More pepper and more salt for sure.   Next time I make it I will try to remember to post a new recipe for it.


***NOTE:  As always, when cooking with oil, use caution.  I plopped the steaks into the oil a bit too quickly and now have a blister on my cheek not even half inch from my eye.  Ouch!
