I was planning out the menu for this weekend and I got to thinking that I can't be the only one who cooks around here. During the Summer and Fall especially, I try to come up with weekend meal ideas that make things interesting.
On Labor day weekend, I deep-fried turkeys, one each on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. We had relatives and friends over to share in the experience. Each day I tried different rubs and injected marinades. I personally like the bird with just rub on the outside and no injected marinade.
Another weekend I cooked up venison, (although the cook got to quite a bit of that during the process) thin sliced, quick fried with olive oil, garlic, butter, and a bit of seasoned salt. Really good.
Last week it was a nice looking Pork loin, rubbed up with seasoning, then the outside was carmelized in a roasting pan,, on a burner, with some olive oil, turning the loin so that it all sides get sealed up. Then it was into the oven and cooked to just a bit past medium. And yes, it is as good as it sounds.
This weekend, it looks like I'll be cooking up a bunch of Catfish for the wife and kids. (It's not my favorite variety of fish)
So, anybody else do some cooking?
I'll try to keep you all hungry with some updates of my more interesting weekend meals.
