Shepherd’s Pie and Chicken Parmesan
Alright, so the flank steak turned out a little tough, but the marinades were good. I needed to let them absorb the flavor for longer. I only gave them about an hour, instead of overnight like I usually do. The Borscht was okay, but since all I had were beets to put in there it was a little plain.
I tried two different variations of the potatoes, the only issue is that the one I think tastes better discolors it. Would you eat mashed potatoes if they were a slight pinkish orange? I may have to figure out a way to make them taste similar without affecting their appearance too much. Also, do you prefer skins in your potatoes or no skins? Personally, I love potato skins and feel kind of cheated when I don’t get any. There is also a lot of waste involved when everything is totally edible…and delicious.
At work, I spent most of the day making Shepherd’s Pie. I ended up with one bus tub full of mashed potatoes and another full of nothing but ground beef, onions, and mixed veggies. I am hoping it was enough to feed all 100+ people. Before that though I made some fried chicken for Chicken Parmesan and used the garlic croutons I made last week for the breading. Best idea ever! I just had to add a little more salt and they were already perfectly seasoned. I don’t think any of it was left by the time we picked up everything.
Tomorrow I should finally get to go to Restaurant Depot. Next week is super busy, so we need to get most of our food while we can. There won’t be time to get anything after this coming Sunday. I am probably going to be like a kid in a candy store. I could probably spend all day in a store like Restaurant Depot. A Sysco warehouse? An entire week…easily.
