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

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.

Joe,Gained 4 1/2 pounds looking at your post.You sure know how to plate something.Ray

I’ve been on a 1,000 calorie per day diet for the past 3 weeks trying to lose weight…Joe I don’t know you, but now I think I hate you! LOL :slight_smile:

That first picture and the bread just look absolutely delicious!

Steve

Good to hear form you Joe,

Your passion for cooking is second to none … IMHO

Hope all is good with family and friends…

Be safe

impressive
all of it looks excellent!!!

MMM…MMM…MMM…couldn’t take my eyes of the kabobs.

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… :slight_smile:

Hmmm, didn’t see a single fish dish there. :wink:

Joe,

Your demise may not have come at the hands of Ohiotuber but something has indeed happened to Mikey. I was looking forward to seeing him at the Ohio Warmwater Conclave and he was a no-show!!! Something dastardly must have happened to Mikey. If anybody knows the whereabouts of the tuber please let us all know. But, if he just played hookey and went fishing then I think some form of penance is in order. What say ye? Come to think of it, I didn’t see Joe Valencic there either.

The food looks great Joe. Me being on a low-fat, low-salt, and low-potassium (and no taste) diet I can feel my arteries plugging up just looking at the pictures. You had better be careful that the food cops don’t catch up with you.

You can hide out in Indiana.

This was a rare time when all 3 of our kids were home. Our daughter from Orlando came in for the weekend, so we everyone here for dinner and playing with our 5 month old grand daughter. No clue where Mikey is, but I just talked to him a couple of nights ago, amd I don’t remember if he said he was going to the conclave or not.

Joe,

You need to warn us when you are posting food porn.

I’m stuffed just looking at all those wonderful culinary delights you whipped up.

The cullinary delights aside, the presentation ain’t too shabby either. And, after all, that too is part of the dining “experience”.

Everyone should know that eating Joe’s cooking can be hazardous. I almost starved to death after leaving the Michigan fish-in where I camped near Joe. I just couldn’t find any appetite for the fast food places I stopped at on my way home. It was just as well as I was starting to have problems with my jeans having shrunk that week anyway.

Joe, if I ever win the lottery, I’m going to drag you off for a very long fishing trip. How does “the US and Canada” sound?

Hey Joe, great looking food, wish I could sample. :slight_smile: what’s the recipe on the stir fry? I’ve been hinting for a wok for father’s day. :slight_smile:

thanks,

Joe,
What time is dinner? G

Joe. I love what you’ve offered up. Not sure what some of it is, but I am sure I’d eat it all. Now if I can just learn how to prepare dishes like that from a Dutch Oven in camp.
