Final Menu
OK all, I have come up with a final menu for !!!WARNING!!! my visit to Rowan this weekend.!!!WARNING!!!
Main Course
A warm, delicious pot of Chuckwagon Beef Stew. It will feature about 5 lbs of prime chuck meat which I will carve up myself. It will be lightly seasoned to allow the flavors of the meat to come through. In addition to Love, there will also be carrots, peas, onions, potatoes, and of course, dumplings.
Side Dish
There will be two. One will be a serving of buttermilk cornmeal biscuits which I will make myself from scratch. Number two, which was a special request of Danielle, will be a small batch of my homemade smashed potatoes, which will feature a mixture of red skin and russet baking potatoes to encourage a firm, yet creamy texture which will be sure to please the centers of the brain which like to tell us to be pleased.
Dessert
A new item to my repertoire, Skillet Baked Apples. Cored and semi peeled Jonagold apples are filled with a butter/brown sugar mixture and baked in a well seasoned and loved cast iron skillet for 40 minutes. This is so that when dinner is done, the apples have been coaxed into to letting their sweet aromatic fragrance out, and will round off the dinner nicely.
