not sure if I said but quails lodge is a Peninsula property - I only finally went in 2020 but it�s now 3 different visits that we�ve dined at this restaurant. I don�t care if it�s Sysco Gourmet thaw & reheat - the food is really good and the service is phenomenal, for my needs. I hope you enjoy your cocktail.

I like the property enough that I�m willing to pay cash directly on their site to book 2 nights in their premium king suite, which has the �living room� separate from the bedroom, as well as a 2-sink potty.

That's 4 different recipes!

No, McCormick style. Because McCormick sells all the spices, and this recipe has allspice in it. (I'm still trying to figure out how to harvest allspice berries from my allspice bush, which is flowering.) It's slow roasted with onions and a bunch of spices including allspice and leaves. McCormick style.

Leftovers in our vacation room:

Caprese salad
Roasted baby potatoes with herbes de Provence
Lobster claws and legs with grilled lemons & browned butter

Pork chops were served at the Memorial Day BBQ I went to today. I've never been impressed by a pork chop. These were no exception. No matter how good they may look, I'm always disappointed.

You'd better STOP posting pictures of your food, otherwise am putting you on ignore.

Where do you get those great tomatoes? Too early for them to be so ripe and juicy.

Expect a doorbell ring, I want those tomatoes, with just salt and evoo,

Lol...i am sure you won't be the first to put me on ignore...for other reasons.
I have been buying Campari tomatoes on the vine. They are NO where close to a nice home grown or farmer market one. But they are decent considering they are from the supermarket....not big but always ripe, and juicy and red. I wouldn't eat them plain but with balsamic and evo and maldon salt they work.
My doorbell doesn't work...just pound on the door.

A few uneventful dinners after arriving home from vacation. But the more interesting one was an uninteresting bratwurst. My cousin gave me some homemade brats and breakfast sausages about a month ago. He's a deer hunter, and my wife doesn't like venison. But he mixes the venison with pork and beef. The brats were interesting and uninteresting simply because they tasted like brats and not venison. We tried the breakfast sausage links as well and it's a new favorite. None of the sweetness you often get in store-bought brands, just a real good savory flavor. Both were hits with my venison-hating spouse as well. And they were free .

Tonight's dinner - pork tenderloin. I'm not in charge of the menu, but there's talk of pounding it into cutlets. Fingers crossed.

Its shocking how few products are made without sugar. Breakfast sausage is an excellent example. Be sure to heap praise on your cousin in hopes of more free sausage.

I plan to. Hadn't seen him for a few years and then was visiting my aunt and uncle (his parents). He stopped by with a cooler full of homemade sausages, fresh and frozen, and was thrilled to have us try it. We still have a few dozen left. I found out he's also been getting into wood working. He showed me a beautiful, professional looking, two-tone cutting board, and I asked how much he was selling them for. He said, "I just make them for fun and give them away to people. Do you want this one or should I make you a different one?"
I took the one he showed me .
