November 15, 20169 yr It's interviewing season here so I expect I will gain at least 10 pounds in the next couple of months. Can't complain about the good free food though. Tonight at Underbelly (for 4 people): Underbelly Charcuterie, House Pickles, Mustard Braised Short Rib, Creamed Turnips and Wilted Greens Grilled Pork Collar, Creamed Greens, Cornbread Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage, Comeback Slaw, Crackers Cha Ca Style Snapper, Dill, Peanuts, Rice Noodle Underbelly Hickory King Grits, Braised Greens, Underbelly Country Ham Warm Ciabatta, Meyer Lemon Herb Butter Korean Braised Goat & Dumplings +wine After BBQ yesterday and going out for dinner last night, I could skip meals for another week and be fine.
November 20, 20169 yr Coq au vin blanc (added my own twist to it with zucchini, jalapeno peppers and mushrooms...found the recipe at http://www.donalskehan.com/recipes/coq-au-vin-blanc/ Turned out wonderful despite it being my third attempt cooking with wine.
November 20, 20169 yr We only ponder the hundreds of ways to season cast iron. We don't actually cook with it!
November 20, 20169 yr I recommend four parts drinking wine to one part cooking with wine. The dish may end up tasting like ass but you wont give a shit. So I call that a win.
November 20, 20169 yr I was told that the only wine I should cook with is wine I would actually drink. Since I don't drink wine (or any alcohol, really), I don't know if the wine I used was good or not - I asked a friend for a suggestion. The food tasted good PS. Chicken marinating overnight for butter chicken tomorrow. Following a recipe from the same website. Edited November 20, 20169 yr by crappyjones123

November 21, 20169 yr Butter chicken. Had some white wine left over from yesterday so added that to the sauce. Not as buttery as I had hoped for but still pretty good.
