My Lady's Birthday yesterday, so she called the shots on Din-Din.
Whole free range pig tenderloin, smothered in Peach Bourbon Barbee Sauce (awesome stuff btw!). twice baked stuffed taters (used a little pepperoni this time rather than bacon & turned out excellent!), and sprouts.

Tossed it back with a well aged fine Merlot.

Then topped it off with a great German Black Forest Cake from our local bakery.

She was Happy!!

Cheers,
Nog

We rarely go out to chow down. Reasons for that are likely apparent.
That said, we do visit our local favorite "Little Bavaria" to celebrate some occasions.
Her Birthday is one of them.

I don't take pictures in restaurants for may reasons.
So, our selection from the menu will have to suffice:

Should have seen their eyes when I requested "extra bratwurst"! LOL!
Quaffed back with a very good Cabernet Sauvignon it was truly outstanding!!

Burp & Cheers!

Left over pheasant night, so...

Whipped up a creamy white wine sauce with shaved garlic and shrooms, added some of the shredded pheasant, placed the larger pieces on top of a plate of linguini, poured the sauce over that and topped with shredded three cheese.

Image

Uber fattening & uber yummy!

Wet, windy and rainy day yesterday.
Called for some Comfort Food.
Had a boo in the larger and found the last jar of Whitetail Chili I canned in the spring.

BINGO!

Image

Topped with shredded marble cheese, accompanied by cheesy garlic roast, and washed down with a fine Cabernet.

Cheers!

Another super simple one...

She Who Rules had to work late yesterday, so I needed something quick and easy...

Took a handful of wings, spiced them up and tossed them in the air fryer.
Made a batch of Potstickers in the frying pan to accompany:

Image

Served up with a Sweet Thai Chili & Spring Roll Sauce Combination for the potstickers and a ranch / sour cream / garlic sauce for the wings.

Air frying the wings is THE way to go - very crispy skin with tender & moist meat!

Quaffed back with another good Merlot...

Cheers,

We started off with the Ninja 3.8 L Fryer with a single basket:

Image

Over time I decided that I would prefer a two basket system so I could deal with varying products being cooked at the same time.
When I got back from fishing, the Ninja XL Dual Zone was marked down by 1/2, so we bit:

Went with that brand as recommended by my bowhunting partner.
We have been very pleased with both.
In fact doing whitetail burger and dirty Mexican rice stuffed red peppers in the second one tonight.

Cheers,

Had some left over Dirty Mexican Rice with Beans from the other night, so...

Fine chopped a small onion, crumbled up a pound of whitetail burger and tossed those into the frying pan. Added a shot of Mesquite seasoning and browned.

Added in the Mexican Rice, and a new-to-me replacement for tomato sauce - left over chili! Got that all warmed up while I cored a couple large red peppers.
Then stuffed the lot into them, and popped them in the air fryer:

Image

Takes a little better than 10 minutes to cook them at 365 degrees, checking occasionally. At the 10 minute mark I capped them with shredded Asiago / Romano / Parmesan cheese and hit them up for a couple more minutes.

Served up with cheesy garlic toast and a fine red of course:

Image

Image

The addition of the chili takes this meal to a whole 'nother level!
I strongly suggest giving it a try - I know I will be again!

Cheers,
Nog

Time for a seafood fix...

Fast pan seared to slightly less than medium rare Yelloweye (Red Snapper):

Image

Served up on a bed of Basmati accompanied by air fried Spare Gooses, with home made Hollandaise topping:

Image

In a word: Superb!
