Finally, time to cook

Morning All:

Life has been so hectic lately I have barely been able to catch my breath, much less have time for cooking. Tuesday evening I stopped at Publix and saw a couple of flank steaks, both about 1.5#. I did one of them that evening (no pics) and the other one tonight. Also had a spaghetti squash sitting around, plus some dinner rolls.



I put the squash on at 375 for about 90 minutes, until it was very soft. Took it off, peeled it and removed the seeds. Then shredded it, topped with salt & pepper, a little butter and shredded Asiago cheese.



Very tasty!

The flank steaks had a light sprinkling of Dizzy Pig Raising the Steaks and some sea salt. Put them on for about 10 minutes at 350 to 375 (didn't feel like waiting for higher temps) until the Thermopen said the thinnest part was about 145 (thick parts closer to 135). Turned out very nice.



Not sure why the shadow on the pic. Now I just need to keep finding time to do some more cooking.

All looks great. Thanks for the idea with the squash. I have some in the frig at home that I'm going to try that with! Never heard of that cheese. What does it resemble?

Here is a picture of the package and what is left from tonight.



The cheese is a dry cheese with a mild to heavy flavor. In my opinion it has a bit of a "nutty" flavor. We really like it on the squash and also had some on the salads.

Kind of like a fresh parmashon? I got to try that squash. Plant a bunch every year but these are small ones from Brookshires.

Morning Lawn Ranger:

Glad to finally have a night to be able to cook and check out the forum.

I got a call from my son about 30 minutes ago letting us know he had gotten to his hotel in San Antonio. He is a lawyer and there to get a deposition. He said he was heading to a restaurant since he hadn't eaten since lunch. I told him he should give you a call if he really wanted some real food.

Kathy says Howdy! Sure would be nice to see you at the Florida EggFest next month????

Morning HungryMan:

You are right about that, but for now we'll just have to enjoy ourselves in Ocala next month.

Jay,

Nice to see your cook area. Looks really nice.

It very similar to parma but it will melt to a creamy texture like harvati or mozzarella cheese. I like to use it on pizza or any other dish that you might sprinkle parma on but it has a different texture .A equal mix of both will work well.

Oh, yum!

I just love cow...
