Good 52º cloudy morning.
Yesterday the sun tried to come through the clouds and fog
Amazing how warm we got yesterday.... 68º ! Tropical heat wave!
I heard a bunch of noise (gobbling!) out back and look who greeted
me....
Show offs! Prancing because they know they won't be on the Thanksgiving
table!!
If you have thought about cooking prime rib for Thanksgiving or Christmas
or New Years... here is the foolproof way... comes out perfect every
time!
Make a rub of
salt and pepper and garlic and/or onion powder and or any other type of herb you
like and you can even mix it with butter or olive oil .... rub onto roast. Put
in roasting pan, turn oven to 550º. When oven is ready put in the roast and cook
it 5 minutes for every pound for rare, 6 minutes per pound for medium. Then turn
off the oven and DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR FOR 2 HOURS! Done to
perfection.
Here is a
formula: For me it was 3.75 lbs x 5 min. = 18.75 minutes or 19
minutes
Schwans showed up with my order.
.... pies, turkey breast, oven roasted chicken bites.
Special Anniversary today.. Steve (LASD ret) and Barbara Voors are
celebrating their 42nd. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KIDS!!! xoxo

November 22nd
November 22, 2017 is
National Cashew Day
Today is National Cashew Day! Whether you like them plain, salted,
roasted, or coated in sugar, cashews are a delicious treat! Although cashews are
popular in Thai, Indian, and Chinese cuisines, they are actually native to
Brazil. They have also been widely cultivated in India and Africa ever since the
Portuguese exported them during the 16th century.
Did you know that parts of the cashew tree can be used for medicinal and
manufacturing purposes? Acid from the cashew nutshells is effective in healing
tooth abscesses and the tree's seeds can be ground up into a powder and used as
an anti venom for snake bites. The oil from the nutshells is used in brake
linings as well as in rubber and plastic materials.
To celebrate National Cashew Day, snack on some cashews or cook them into
your favorite recipe!
