What did you cook or eat today (April 2025)?

After six weeks I finally got my arm out of a sling. Can’t lift anything that is heavier than a cup of coffee. But I did cook bone in pork chops in a stainless skillet. Salt, ground black pepper, paprika and no salt Creole seasoning. Basted with butter with shallots and thyme. Turned out really good. Store bought potato salad and frozen peas. The peas were microwaved and awful. Even with butter, salt and pepper they were pretty dull. But it’s good to get a step back on the road of recovery. Six more weeks of physical therapy. I’m excited about cooking tomorrow night. Skillet chicken. Leftover store bought potato salad and a frozen veggie.

Glad to hear you’re improving and back to cooking. Pork chops sound like they were great.

What's a Dutch loaf?

From Wikipedia:

Dutch loaf (also called old-fashioned loaf, spiced luncheon loaf, and spiced lunch meat) is a luncheon meat made from coarse-ground lean pork and beef mixed or coated with spices, formed into a loaf shape and then smoked over a hardwood fire. It is a popular sandwich filler in America. Most major deli-meat companies make their own variation.

It’s called Dutch loaf because it’s German, naturally. 😉

And there is me thinking we were talking about the loaf of bread..
So it's the filling
Thinking maybe "gebraden gehakt"
Meatloaf(Gebraden Gehakt) ~200g

Or "rookvlees"

Smoked Beef(Runder Rookvlees) ~200g

Very much a loaf of meat, as you can tell by the shape.

Also, a word of advice, should you ever journey to the US in search of Dutch loaf - please don’t make the mistake of confusing it with the equally delicious German loaf, which is of course…also from Germany! :laugh:
