Just to make my friends crazy....

Rumors of my demise by Ohiotuber are completely false. I really don't get much time to fish, but I don't sit idle either. Here are a few of the projects that occupy my time...

Homemade Cavatelli with my new Cavatelli maker.



Fettuccine Alfredo with pan seared chicken breast and broccoli, made with homemade pasta and homemade Alfredo sauce.



Honey whole wheat bread (made almost weekly) and a new addition to the bread line, honey whole wheat sandwich thins, just for Mama.



Chicken, pineapple and vegetable stir fry on a bed of vegetable fried brown rice



marinated chicken kebobs with sourdough no-knead bread, fried rice and a killer salad made by Mama.



I have many more, but I don't want anyone to require therapy from over indulging. It's very possible that one or two of these meals may turn up in the campground at the Michigan Fish-In in a couple of weeks.

Well now you done it Joe. I salivated all over my keyboard. Real pretty food. I'll bet it was delicious. Jim

[Joe Valencic]

Ok, Ok already. I'll put a few more up here just to satisfy the hunger in some of you folks.

I've been making my own pasta sauce for awhile, but when freezer space became scars I started to bottle it and just keep it in the pantry. I bottle in two sizes for when it's just me and Mama for dinner.



Anyone care for good old comfort food? I don't know anyone who doesn't like it, especially during the colder months in the Island Nation of Ohio. Here are a couple of slow cooked roasts in pork and beef that warmed us all to way to our toes.

Roast pork shoulder

Slow cooked chuck roast with roasted veggies.

Beef tips over homemade noodles in a wine gravy.

lastly, stuffed cabbages are our friends.

Thanks to all for the compliments. Steve, lots of people love to hate me for my food. I'm used to it. LOL

Our daughter from Orlando is in town for the weekend, so we celebrated with a little picnic food for dinner, all at her request. The ribs were tender and all of the bones slipped right out of the meat before finishing them on the grill.

Excellent to hear Joe! that is the part about your family and good eats...

Hmmm, didn't see a single fish dish there.
