Wow do those look good! I’m impressed! I made garlic horseradish fried shrimp, and sautéed broccoli. Unfortunately I neglected to take any pictures of any of it...
 
What are garlic horseradish fired shrimp ?
Is the garlic horseradish a dipping sauce ?
They are pan fried, no dipping sauce this time.

Melt butter in a frying pan on high heat, add garlic and horseradish per your preference, (carefully) drop in shrimp. Toss shrimp until well coated and cooked through, just a couple minutes. Sprinkle with parsley. Remove from heat, peel, and eat.

Red Beans and Rice with a Salad, bachelor style.

Salad
Mixed local lettuce, baby carrots, olives, mild banana pepper slices, and shredded cheddar. Topped with Olive Garden Lite dressing.

Red Beans and Rice

Two cups brown rice
Four cups water
One pound cooked Smoked Sausage
One can Dark Red Kidney Beans, drained
One can Light Red Kidney Beans, drained
One can Diced Tomatoes, with liquid
Chili powder - I use quite a lot
Oregano - just a shake
Red pepper flakes - two healthy pinches
Dash of hot sauce
Couple dashes soy sauce

Steam rice until fully cooked, then add all of the remaining ingredients and stir well. Simmer until everything is hot and flavors combine. Feel free to use a different sausage if you prefer, pictured below is sweet Italian sausage because I did not have anything else at the time. Leftovers are even better, because the flavors have had a chance to fully combine.1BCA0118-1983-4241-88D8-B4771B592F43.webp88955D9B-C17C-4D0A-8CB4-B2EAA4816AAF.webp
 
Reminds me of my time in New Orleans.
I was there once, but there wasn’t a great lot of nightlife at the time. I went down to do some post-Katrina clean up. We did find a Bubba Gump Shrimp was open though, and enjoyed some food there. Otherwise, we mostly lived off the food at the Shoney’s we stayed in.
 
Pork and Sauerkraut

Two pound pork loin, rubbed with salt and coarse ground black pepper. Braised in olive oil, and sliced into 1” slices. Placed slices over two bags of sauerkraut in crock pot. Added a splash of water because this crock pot boils everything out, even on low.

In the morning I will turn it to it’s warming setting and haul it off to church for out twice monthly after-service lunch. E522D736-49E5-4F4B-80BE-96D16519197D.webp
 
My grandmother (German heritage) used to routinely make a roasted duck stuffed w/ sauerkraut when ever we visited.
My father, w/ a large garden in NH, made sauerkraut routinely.
I have also made a batch in a 5 gal. pail (when a had a garden in OH). It's pretty easily; just attention to some details.

I live right in the middle of Amish country, so around here everybody makes it. I don’t make it myself, but my brother-in-law does. He even eats it raw for breakfast every morning!
