For dinner I did an experiment. I normally cook rice in my rice cooker, but
wanted to try this....
2 cups basmati white rice ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basmati ),
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes, 1 can mild chopped green chiles, 3 cups
chicken stock, some dried garlic, and dried red onion, and sea salt to
taste.
It all went in the little crock pot on high for 2 hours.
I stirred it a couple of times. Then put on low for about another half
hour.
Then I cooked an Omaha Steaks sirloin in the Air Fryer, coated both sided
with olive oil and pepper, cooked at 400ยบ for 11 minutes. PERFECT! (I like my
steak rare so this is perfect for that! The rice was AWESOMELY good!
Night before last I put some carrots, coated with olive oil and some Omaha
Steaks cheesy tater tots, and a sirloin in the Air Fryer. Served with a mixture
of about half mayonnaise and half artichoke/spinach dip for the
potatoes... YUMMMMMMMMM!!!!
Ok, bout it for now. Still going through photos from the trip. Hope your
day is good!!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TBT. Ciao.

National Angel Food Cake Day
National Angel Food Cake Day is a great day to bake a cake with your
little angels. Watch the smiles on their angelic faces, as you hand them the
mixing spoon to lick off the batter!
Angel food cake is a sponge cake. It can be simple, or fancy. We suggest a
jello angel food cake, for a real treat.
Its really easy to enjoy National Angel Food Cake Day. Make or
buy an angel food cake. Making an angel food cake is the best way to celebrate
this day. A homemade cake beats a store bought one. Then, enjoy it with family,
friends, and at
work.
