What are you EATING right now?

[Dusty Chalk]

I'm actually more surprised that you found a chocolate concoction that goes well with booze -- I don't usually find that to be the case.

Me: samich. Only brief cute girl sighting. I think she reads this forum. CG -- I'm not going to chase you, you're half my age. But dang, in any other country, you'd be idolized.

Did you read the book "Kitchen" by Banana Yoshimoto? That got me going on the quest for the perfect tonkatsu years ago and I still seek it.

[jinp6301]

I have not. I'll check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

Pizza from the ice rink snack bar

Homemade white turkey chili with great northern beans, garbonzoes, heavy cream and very aromatic spicing. Garnish with sour cream and fresh chopped cilantro. Garlic sourdough bagette and glass of cab on the side. Tasty.

[Dusty Chalk]

Good choice on the sourdough, but right now I want some bbq.

But for real: salmon red curry from Pilin.

Costco had the coupon for $3.00 off a pork roast and that's all it took. Herb crusted pork loin roast with whole cranberry chutney. It's a Sandy Lee recipe from FoodNetwork which I changed a bit by studding the roast with whole garlic cloves. The roast going in:

The house smelled wonderfully. And the roast coming back out:

And the served plate:

Loaded baked potato and a glass of cab. Spaniels approve!

Very delicious looking. Do your culinary skills come naturally or were you classically trained?

Thanks guys, you are too kind. My mom liked to cook and try new stuff, although I never saw an onion or fresh garlic in her 'fridge. I grew up before fast food and being innundated by the media with bad nutritional choices. Since I've officed out of the house for more than a decade, more and more of the house-husband stuff has been falling to me. And cooking is something I generally like.

Brisket in a smoker with mesquite wood chips.

[shellylh]

Mike, that brisket looks delicious. I may just have to pick up some steak - it is a great day for BBQ - sunny and 62.

[tyrion]

I made some ribeyes last night with a spicy rub. Good stuff. On sale at Whole Foods.

[shellylh]

Just grilled some "grass fed" strip steaks (cooked medium-rare) on the BBQ with mashed potatoes, broccoli and red wine on the side. Good.

Meatballs, rice, baby spinach, and carrots. Probably at least 2600+ calories in this meal...need to replace the ~2500-3000 burned over 6 hours of basketball
