Tenderloin with onions, Kale and Grit Hoecakess

I had to commute into work yesterday from the cabin and it was a miserable trip both ways. Fortunately for me Mrs. Irish whipped up a nice meal using some leftover tenderloin that she sauteed with onions and garlic. She served that with some pan sauteed kale and grits and cheese hoecakes fried in butter on the griddle. Pretty damn good stuff...

That looks delicious.

That does look good.

Besides that green mess...

Man, those hoe cakes look good. How do you make those?

We had some leftover cheese grits and she added about a tablespoon of cornmeal and an egg to them. Then she fried them on the griddle like pancakes.

I’m going to have to try those hoe cakes. They look delicious.

As always, I am envious of your imagination and skills in the kitchen. 👍

You are being very kind... But just having fun... Cooking and eating. It's not that big of a deal,

Once any of us starts cooking regularly, you begin to learn what stuff goes well together and what naturally to do and it all starts to come together. It's all about experience... Kind of like deer hunting. None of us immediately knew what do do the first time we picked up a rifle, we had to work at it an gain experience.

I'm not trying to brag, but I'm a pretty good cook, and folks who try my cooking will confirm this. I know a lot of good techniques and know what I like, but I'm not very adventurous, and time is also a limiting factor for me. But you and Mrs Irish posess an imagination that I don't have, and you take pretty pictures of food that looks delicious. 👍

I'm very fortunate to be married to a wonderful woman that knows how to cook good too. Fortunately for us we started our relationship really enjoying our time in the kitchen together and for some reason we can both be in there working together and not killing each other.

Looks delicious
