I watched soccer and then the news programs. England gave Panama a drubbing but Senegal and Japan played an exciting 2-2 draw. We brushed two racks of ribs with BBQ sauce, covered them with aluminum foil and them into the oven at 8:15 at 350 degrees. We brushed more sauce onto them at 10:00 and uncovered them and cooked them until 10:45.
At 9:00 we went to the garden and picked about 24 sugar snap peas growing in our garden. We also made Cole slaw with ½ of the head of green cabbage we bought at Sprouts on Saturday. I peeled a carrot and Suzette suggested adding an apple and raisins. Suzette made the Cole slaw in the Cuisinart in just a couple of minutes by pushing the ingredients through the shredder attachment. She then made a dressing by mixing port vinegar with sugar and adding a bit of mayonnaise and mixed it into the Cole slaw, which gave it a slightly sweet and bitter taste. Suzette steamed the sugar snap peas in the microwave with a bit of water covered with Saran and I cut the ribs and we plated a plate with ribs, peas, and Cole slaw and we each grabbed a beer and took our plate to the table in the garden and enjoyed a BBQ rib dinner.
At 4:30 we decided to cook turkey chowder and boil the PPI turkey bones to make a stock. The chowder included Onion, celery, corn kernels, diced potatoes, turkey, cooked in turkey broth to which about a dozen fresh sliced sage leaves and some milk was added. We purchased six ears of corn for $1.00 yesterday at Sprouts.
The we made turkey salad in the Cuisinart with turkey, four hard boiled, an apple, celery, and onion mixed with a fresh tarragon, white wine vinegar and mayonnaise and crema dressing.
After an hour the turkey chowder cooked long enough for the flavors of its ingredients to blend and we ate bowls of soup for dinner as we watched 60 Minutes.
After dinner we each ate a bowl of vanilla ice cream with Hershey’s chocolate syrup.
Then I pitted four cups of cherries I had bought at Sprouts on Saturday for $1.98/ lb. and drizzled them with cognac and Grand Marnier and put them into the fridge to marinate in the liquor over night. Tomorrow I will make Clafoutis.
We often spent Sunday’s cooking as we did today, especially if we have cooked or purchased ingredients for dishes such as the turkey and turkey broth and cherries.
Bon Appetit
