                 Pulled Pork BBQ
Made pulled pork a different way this time. Sometimes I cook my pork butt in the oven, low and slow. This time I cooked the pork butt in my Technique Electric 6.5 Quart Voice Pressure Cooker. It cooked in far less time, and the flavor that was infused into the meat was wonderful. The only thing I put in the cooker with the meat was chicken broth, as recommended  for the cooking process. I thought it was just as good as smoked BBQ. Topped it with a homemade sauce and homemade slaw, on a toasted bun, Oh My!!

             Grilled Cheese Deluxe
For dinner tonight I made what I call, grilled cheese deluxe, if you have never had one, give it a try. I use white bread, two slices of American cheese, margarine for frying. After frying pull bread apart, while cheese is good and hot, be careful it will release steam and get your fingers. Coat one half with mayonnaise, to your liking. Top with two slices of tomato, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Top with the other bread and enjoy! My tomato production is slowing down, I hate when that happens. Each one we eat these days is more precious, because they will soon be gone. So to honor the great tasting home grow tomato, I give you the "Grilled Cheese Deluxe".

Behold the beauty as we bid farwell

Good Way To Use My Farm  Fresh Egg                          Omelets!
Made omelets for breakfast this morning. Bacon, tomato, mushroom and cheese omelets. Great way to use up some of my eggs as well as some tomatoes from the garden, they are really coming in right now.

Bacon, Tomato, Mushroom and Cheese Omelets
               
     6 eggs, beaten
     4 pieces cooked bacon
      1 medium tomato, diced
     1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
     1/2 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
     butter
     salt and pepper 

Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat, add about a tablespoon of butter. In a small bowl mix the eggs until light and fluffy. Pour half of the eggs into the hot frying pan. Allow to set up, then lift edges of omelet, while tilting pan to allow uncooked egg to flow under so it will cook. When egg is set top half with bacon, tomato, mushrooms and cheddar cheese. Gently fold other half of omelet onto toppings. Gently side from pan onto plate. Repeat with remaining egg and toppings. Makes two omelets.
