There was a lesson I learned very early in life. Waste not, want not. In other words, you use everything and never look a gift horse in the mouth. That's how I do my braises and make my "braise sauces."
Last night I made some Bremer Salisbury steaks, and of course, there was gravy leftover. I don't throw it away. I use it.
So, that's what's for dinner tonight. Braised pork steaks. Scalloped potatoes. And mixed vegetable.
What's going on your dinner table tonight?

Braises are a great way to use stuff up. I particularly like using "empty" bottles of dressings or other sauces and rinsing them with water or broth or something else and using that. Always adds a lot of flavor and everything gets used up.

That's exactly what we do with sauce bottles too. Every last bit gets used

I had a home made pork burger on a potato bread roll. It was delicious. I had never heard of potato bread until @DaddyEvil told me about it a few months ago. Today was the first time I had seen it in our supermarkets ….
I had strawberries for dessert.

@porwest it was actually the cheapest of all the minces ….although that’s not why I bought it, but it was a bonus….i hadn’t had it before but I wanted it for a particular recipe ….it was tasty.

I will fry a lamb shoulder chop and for the side I have sautéed patty squash. Before that I will have my mom’s cold soup with some fresh buttered black bread.

@porwest Will you ever change your mind about lamb?

@lovebuglena Probably not. For me it's the taste. I just don't care for it.

For lunch I will have my leftovers from Longhorn Steakhouse; and for dinner I will have my Meals on Wheels lunch from Friday.

Braised pork sounds good. I had leftovers of Mexican baked fish, corn and some muffins I made.

Yummy. I love braised pork. "Adobo" would be our local version of that. As for dinner, I made pechay (pak choy variety) soup with ground pork last night.

Last night we had rice, boiled pork hock soup and slipmouth fish in sour broth. All the viands were cooked by my father.
