I haven't had a proper sit down fork meal in a week, so we banged this together. I have been craving some charred flesh with killer tatties....that combo is lethal. Me and the sexy Nurse got a 10 pack of these pork tenderloins for 20 bucks. They are about 17-18 oz each. I usually do two at a time, because I always feel like I wish I had more if we split one. Haha..nothing like the Western Diet. So I tried the steaming method with some really nice red potatoes...nailed it...almost.
I ran my baby steamer out of water!!! LUCKILY, I was right there and caught it. The pan is one of my best heavy stainless kettles. I wasn't so worried about the pan, that thing is bulletproof...but the tatties don't like to smoke. Fuckin lightweights. So my babydoll is sicky right now, and has a 101.3 fever since yesterday. She isn't feeling too sleek. I cooked the grill stuff first and figured...steam some tats and saute some veg...haha...like everything possible went wrong. I was so in the weeds my fucking legs were getting cut up. I spilled hot liquid on my rippin hot stovetop.... twice....scalded cream and starchy water that was borderline flammable. Fuck. I burned the bottom of my pan, I went to grab the soy sauce and sesame oil, which I keep on the top shelf of my spice cupboard (which is so packed that I am ready to scream and throw a tantrum about it)...and knocked down like 4 glass bottles. The full flavor soy, rice wine vinegar, the big French's Worcestershire that I just bought, about 350ml of dry white wine, and an old fashioned egg timer what uses the sand or drugs or whatever the hell is that mystery white substance. No breakage!!! But my god, it sounded like I got mugged or some shit. And I fucking ran out of butter....fuck me running, all I had to do was steam some fucking potatoes and blaze some Asian style veggies in my jumbo Rachel Ray skillet thing. Ohh...and I used my little flower petal steam basket rig thing...which has three little feet...and when the potatoes were done and being removed with some tongs, I dropped one under the pan and it got stuck under the grate....and then the thing was off balance and it splashed in the piping hot water and splashed my arm. I also managed to tear my kitchen up pretty good...but the good Bubb and me threw a massive 5 minute cleaning session and knocked it out 95%. Haven't touched the stove yet though ...that fucker is hard to clean if it's spotless.
I raided the last of the garden and my veg drawer and snagged half a yellow bell, about 5 radishes, 1 huge Vidalia onion, and 4 assorted peppers from the backyard that had a chili pepper vibe about them. I made a veggie stick with all that shit and grilt it good. Set up the spotlight over the grill and camped out for a half hour with some good sticks and a couple beers.
I didn't get any pics of the fuckin disaster as I was flustered and not even thinking about it. But I made the redskin smashed mashed with green onions, sour cream, garlic, scalded cream, fresh ground pepper and some super course sea salt for the little explosion effect...I also made the veggie sautee. At least everything came out perfect...u would have been pissed....I can deal with some setbacks, but the food needs to be on point.
Ohh, NB wanted me to "Tell the guys that I love this". Did you tell em? Did you tell em? Yes dear. I told em
This is what she was reefer ing to
(I like my assistant about
much...I think I found a keeper fellas)
PS...I used my leftover jerky marinade as a sauce for my pork!! I put it on the stove and boiled it for 10 mins covered. It's been in the fridge, and I ran it through the strainer after the jerky...fully intending to use it again, but I haven't bought another beef slug yet, so I figured rather than let it go to waste? Not disappointed...it's got that little liquid smoke backbone. I think this whole thing set me back about 10 bones. It's amazing what you can eat for not that much money when you find a decent deal!!
