March 17, 201016 yr you gotta take me there when i come up for canjam. Oh, that's a given. The food is awesome and the beer... Ah, the beer... Oooh. I sense a HC outing! Works for me. We'll have to see how many are interested and the timeframes. Any night works but Friday and Saturdays can be a bitch to get in. The place is very small. Luckily my alcoholism has made me a regular so I might be able to set up some special arrangements. The food menu has some regular items and quite a few changeable items depending on the chef's mood. And the beer menu will have 6 to 10 of Three Floyds' own beers, 6 to 8 guest drafts and probably 20 or so guest bottled beer. And Pabst Blue Ribbon in cans. Sounds like a good Thursday night outing to me. Premeet conditioning and all.
March 17, 201016 yr That should be workable. If we see enough interest I can check with the Floyds and see about reserving a space for us. If response is real big maybe private party status. I'll get the details in either case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

March 19, 201016 yr Bought a can of Original Pringles this morning for the first time in years. Is there a better salt delivery system out there?
March 21, 201016 yr OP's Hungarian Goulash! Here we have two-and-a-half pounds of nicely marbled trimmed angus bottom round cubed into two inch cubes: And here we have the cubed beef in its marinade of red wine, lemon juice, vintage balsamic vinegar, and worchestershire sauce for its warm-and-cold two day marinade: After two days, the meat was brought to room temperature and drained with the marinade reserved. The beef was then seasoned with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper and seared over high heat as one batch in my deep sautee and reserved. It developed a nice frond with the vinegar. The Le Creuset 2.75 dutch oven was heated stovetop with four tablespoons of EVOO and four cloves of minced garlic sauteed before a large thin sliced white onion was added to soften, seasoned with more S&P. When the onion was softened, 2TBS of double strength tomato paste and a quarter cup of all purpose floor were added. After the flour had cooked, the reeserved beef marinade was added with two cups of beef broth to deglaze the pan. The seared beef cubes were returned with 3TBS fresh Hungarian sweet paprika and 1TSP crushed caraway seeds: After brasing for two hours at 300F, the dutch oven was returned stovetop on medium heat and the beef cubes removed and reserved. A can of organic diced tomatoes (partially drained) was added to the sauce and the sauce was simmered for ten minutes before the beef was returned to the oven for the final hour. Before serving, half a cup of non-fat sour cream was stirred in. Served over whole wheat egg noodles with fresh flatleaf parsley garnish and a glass of cab. Very fragrant and flavorful and the beef was melt-in-your-mouth. Glass of cab on the side.
March 21, 201016 yr Looks good as always. I just fired up the smoker and the 5 hours countdown until the brisket is done has begun.
March 21, 201016 yr Looks good as always. You are too kind. Comfort food for a weekend when my Dad's older brother died early Saturday morning and Dad died this morning at 0700hrs.
March 21, 201016 yr Condolences Old Pa. I'm having afternoon breakfast. Chorizo tacos with fried egg, onion and cilantro followed by bacon and eggs with grits, thick cut bacon and a bacon fat fried egg. And beer. Also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
March 23, 201016 yr Thank you for your kind words and thoughts. My uncle Larry went in on Omaha Beach the first day and received multiple wounds. My father went back after his DDS to obtain his M.S. and Ph.D. and took several days a week to teach at the University of Illinois dental school for over twenty-five years while other dentists were just raking in the bucks. Both had and raised famlies who loved them very much. Both had been sick way too long with dementia and Alzheimer's. Still, we are diminished.
March 23, 201016 yr I made cajun inspired dirty rice with squid for dinner. Pretty tasty. Not perfect, but definitely hit the spot.
