TF20, day 3, 4 and 5.
Aug. 11th, 2013 09:52 pmGotta catch up a bit. No pictures of 3 because the stir fry wasn't very photogenic and 4 because the sandwich was, well, a sandwich.
So the pork stir fry was pretty good. The spicy pork did well in the stir fry. I did steam the broccoli first because I wanted the boys to eat some. Jason added Oyster sauce to his and I added a bit more soy sauce to mine. Aside from not having the peppers that was the only change I made.
The sandwiches I did just like the recipes (with no peppers again. I can't stomach bell peppers). They were really good. The bananas were okay. I wish I'd left off the cinnamon. I did put them under the broiler, so it was kind of like bananas foster only without the liquor.
Thyme scented polenta with vegetable ragu. Also not photogenic, but whatevs. It'd get boring reading all this with no photos.
This is the meal that didn't sound appealing at all. Every time I brought it up Jason turned his nose up at it, and I wasn't all that hip on it either. Which is why we just had it tonight, instead of Friday like we were supposed to. So we were both surprised when it was our favorite meal so far. The polenta is seriously good. Which is nice, because I didn't halve the recipe and we have a LOT of polenta. The veggies were also really good and paired well with the polenta. I left out the 2 cups of veggie stock because I wanted cooked veggies, not vegetable soup, on my polenta. They were really good, but I wish I had thrown in some leftover bacon because that would have just taken it over the top into awesome.
Jake liked the polenta, but didn't touch the veggies. Erik didn't try any of it. I suspect this is more because they had already eaten sandwiches, watermelon, chips and spaghetti. I didn't have the veggies prepped, so it took a bit to put together. It would have come together in about 20 minutes if everything was prepped and I just had to throw it into the pan though. I'll definitely prep for this coming week.
After this I'm more apt to try some of the dishes for next week I was going to replace (I'm looking at you, ham wrapped cantaloupe). I'll also probably skip making my own BBQ sauce and use the Stubb's that we love.
