June 1, 20251 yr Getting ready for a trip to the Perigord by trying some local recipes. Grilled duck breast and duck fat fried potatos sarladaises.
June 1, 20251 yr Just picturing some poor mastectomyed and liposuctioned duck wondering what the hell is next... Foie gras?
June 1, 20251 yr A simple breakfast, however, one of the high school boys that works at the store on weekends brought me fresh eggs from his chickens. He wanted to bring something, because he really appreciates the food I bring on Saturdays. There really is a big difference in taste. These were layed yesterday. More than I can say for myself.
June 13, 20251 yr You either love them or hate them. I happen to love them. In a family of 6, just my Mom and I loved fried chicken livers. She made them for us maybe 4 times a year. I don't think I've had them in about 15 years. Today I decided that was too long. Cheers Mom. Fried chicken livers, mashed potatoes and country gravy. This takes me home!

June 14, 20251 yr I re-created my favorite scramble from Hummingbird Cafe. Swiss cheese, bacon, tomato, avocado, spinach and eggs of course. Left a little avocado for Maki, as she absolutely loves it.
June 14, 20251 yr Technically baking but I'm too lazy to go find that thread. Toasted coconut chocolate chip scones.
June 17, 20251 yr Tried some new techniques for the dough and for cooking the pizza and happily gobbled up the results. Red sauce, mozzarella and parmesan, guanciale, corn and leeks.
June 17, 20251 yr Corn and leeks on pizza sounds utterly amazing, I am also going to need to try that now
June 30, 2025Jun 30 Made a stir fry for Rini and myself on the Weber griddle. We both have lots of leftovers. The griddle works great, as it heats up very fast, and gets very hot! The meat was a sliced rib eye marinated in peanut sauce. It was yummy!

I'd probably add a touch of salt, too.
July 31, 2025Jul 31 Ottolenghi's cheeseball lemon rice with chile butter, which is very much as it sounds and is delicious as well. Served with grilled asparagus for a delightful vegetarian meal.
