Daniel, don't start any dangerous trends with hamburgers for breakfast This weeked I left like another Akoori

Try ordering a paper masala dosa and see how many can camp under that bad boy. It is sometimes referred to as "the rocket" (1/8th scale )

I've had the caramelized chicken at Green Papaya in Exton and my recommendation would be to skip it unless you are looking for boiled pieces of chicken in a broth. Their Beef Pho however rocks (only served on Winter weekends. I need to see when they will start serving it again) !! On Sunday my wife and I visited Duling Kurtz, which is one of our local favorites. She ordered pan seared chicken breast I had lobster and risotto in a burre blanc type sauce with capers

Cheese course Halibut with mushroom Orzo, topped with fried leeks, fried parsley and Portobello foam Apple Carmel ice-cream

Who said anything about trim?

Great dinners all...truly in awe !! Unfortunately, I have been too busy to cook lately, but may have stumbled upon new found inspiration here.

Mmm... any hints on how else I could use it? I'm definately getting more. ← I like topping a fried egg with it and letting it melt on there. More appropriate for breakfast, but good.

Wendy, Was this your first smoked meat sandwich experience? I have been hooked after a visit to Montreal about 10 yrs ago. Now I mail order it. BTW, what are those great looking marrow bones topped with? Percy

Wow...razor clams and chicken wings, never had that at SK before. Did you have a wine scribe ?

That looks yummy to me Susan...what time should I be over?

A few days ago I made storebought waffles Today ... Mushroom, chili, garlic and ginger omelete

Today...Risotto

Lobster Bisque Blackened Crab Cake sandwich with chipolte mayo

I agree with Philadining, the food at Twin Bays Cafe was good, but not excellent (keep in mind our preception may have been skewed after monthly trips to StudioKitchen). Beef consume, Porcini and Venison soup - Great aroma, hearty beef flavor and a tad bit over salty. The venison and porcini were heard to find. Osso Buco with garlic mashed potatoes - As philadining had mentioned, the flavor was there, but the meat was a touch rubbery. Enjoying the marrow was the best part though...as always. The excellent apple cider caramel homemade ice-cream, which apparently was added to the menu that day. Simply divine.

Nice Soup and Crabcake g-man. I too made some crabcakes for dinner along with trying to finish some of the leftovers that were created during my blog this past week. Enjoyed with some Cheers Percy

And now, the end is here And so I face the final curtain.. ... Regrets, I've had a few But then again, too few to mention….. This past week, though seemingly hectic, has breezed by. There are many more things I would have liked to share with you, but alas that would need to be done in another forum or venue. In Susan's preceeding blog, she started out with a picture of an amazingly beautiful sunrise. Not being much of a morning person, Peanut and I bid you adieu with this glorious PA sunset. Oh….and one last tradition that needs to be respected. BTW, would you belive me if I told you she was born on April Fool's day? Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers for my Aunt, she is feeling better and hopefully on her way to a speedy recovery. See you all around Percy (or “Person” if that makes you feel better )

The smaller Amish places I have seen do not seem to make their baked goods with store bought ingredients (I could be wrong) as the flavor is a bit different (richer) and if you leave it out a more than 2 days in summer, it gets spoiled, which means no preservatives.

Quite easy actually... Heat a small frying pan with some butter or oil. Add 3-4 tbsp 1/2 and 1/2 and 1 tbsp cream cheese. Simmer on low heat until cream cheese melts and the cream starts to foam. Scramble in 2-3 eggs. Voila

The last dish I wanted to make for you was a Flourless, Molten Lava Chocolate Cake (recipe for 2) Melt 1/3 lb semi-sweet chocolate (place chips in a microwave for 1 min) Make a ganache by adding some cream and heating to incorporate until chocolate is shinny. Whip 3 egg yolks with 2 tbsp sugar until sugar dissolves. Add eggs to warm (but not too hot) chocolate ganache and incorporate. Butter 2 ramekins and fill with mixture. Bake in 350F oven for 11-14 minutes. Edges should start to form, but center still soft. Remove from ramekin carefully by running a paring knife along the edge and serve (you can use a touch of flour to dust the ramekins if you want to cheat). Goes well with ice-cream Port Or Cognac P.S: Evidence of my weird taste - Shola (StudioKitchen chef), Philadining and myself were discussing pairing of cerely and fennel ice cream with chocolate. I was planning on making that ice cream, but ran out of time. I will try this pairing and repost back in the Dinner! forum.

OK, I am off to make one last item...dessert. Man, I am sure I gained 10lbs this week

Percy, is this Devi in Exton? I think I recognize the chutneys! If this is them, I love their Masala Dosa, I know what I'll try next... ← Yes it is...
