Theresa’s family wanted the peppercorn steaks for dinner this year so we headed to Sams to get a beef tenderloin PSMO select grade. I am getting really good at cutting these up.
ended up with a nice side roast and a huge tenderloin which I tucked the little ends under and secured with toothpicks.
The scooby snack (chain meat) was cut up later for a rocking cheesesteak and hot roast beef sammiches.
Added a light coating of coarsely cracked pepper. Seemed like a lot of pepper, but it was a lot of meat so I figured I was OK.
Seared the sides and let it rest for the trip over to the in-laws house to finish off the oven part there. I doubled up the sauce and lots of the pepper bits were stuck in the pan. I did not taste it, but it looked nummy.
Oh man did the pepper burn. There was so much pepper on that log of meat. It was spicy. The sauce was really peppery too. Folks ate it, but looked for the jello salad to ease the burn.
Theresa made some pumpkin and tried a new peanut butter pie.
She got the recipe from here for the PB pie
The fudge layer was a solid chunk and a bit thicker than planned. The whipped PB fluff was awesome. For my parents dinner she eliminated the fudge layer and used an oreo crust.

We made the tomato cream pasta using left over dutch oven chicken tonight. I took pics along the way and let the iphone toy phone app pics do what they wanted.
So been carbonating the sparkly water and wanted to try some other flavors. i like the minute maid lemon juice and wanted to try lime. So I grabbed some of these pompei juices and tested them out. They are very weak, like no power at all. Not worth it at all.
Headed to open harvest to get some more bay leaves. Got a good amount and when it was rung up it was 25 cents. I cannot see how they make any profit off of spices there.
