  1. My lunches are a lot less exciting compared to @BonVivant

    l bought two rockfish filets for dinner and used thinner parts to make soup.  Chicken stock was blended with roasted tomatoes, I had a few leftover roasted carrots.  Also fish and avocado.  Considering the rainy gloomy weather, it hit the spot.

    The venison looks great.  But those leeks are spectacular.  How did you cook them?

    PS. Your scallops look perfectly cooked.

     

     I just told Ronnie I need to order some scallops .....he didn't agree lol.....too much in the freezer as it is ....

    I am lucky to live in Northern Virginia.  I can go to a fancy store and buy two scallops.  I envy your freezer with all that venison and such

  4. My NY resolution is to love myself more.  Which means treating myself and family to gourmet food.  And to post it on eGullet which I have not done for a while.  Dining solo tonight.  These two scallops were 1/3 of a pound.  I have no butter in the house 😳.  That needs to be fixed ASAP.  Meanwhile scallops were sautéed in the mixture of olive oil and duck fat.  The skillet was deglazed and the cook was rewarded with lovely dry Riesling.

    I have not purchased it but it does sound interesting.  I share your wariness with respect to Phaidon books.  Often beautiful to look at but awful to cook from.  

     

    This coming Monday, there's an author event with Virgilio Martínez in conversation with Andrew Zimmern that's accessible online.  Jointly hosted by Bold Fork Books, Book Larder, Now Serving LA, Omnivore Books, and Phaidon. Register here.  

    Thank you, I have registered and hopefully will be able to attend.  Dinner at Central in Lima was one of the best meals that I’ve ever had.

    I have never in my life had matcha let alone matcha ice cream.   What does it taste like?  (I know, I should get out more.)

    I am not good with describing the taste but internet comes to the rescue.  Earthy, sweet and slightly bitter.  Haagen Dazs makes matcha ice cream and should be easy to find.  Van Leeuwen makes earl grey ice cream which is  divine.

    I made the traditional Yunnan "beef with mint" (as discussed here) tonight.  It was really tasty and addictive - it will definitely be in heavy rotation!  I assume that the cows from that area would traditionally be quite lean, so I used some ground Elk that I got from Wild Fork; 3 of the 4 herbs (sawtooth, laksa and thai basil) came from my garden and I had the garlic chives left in my fridge for the past 2 weeks left over from another dish.  I can't get fresh Heaven Facing chilies too easily here, so I used 3 Prik Chee Fah (spur chilies) and 1 Thai chili since my wife doesn't have as much of a tolerance for spicy as I do and I wanted to make sure that she enjoyed it.  Served with Thai sticky rice (made in the CSO - which worked amazing for it, btw) and some smacked cucumbers.

    It looks amazing.  How did you make sticky rice in CSO?

  8. Salmon belly that Whole Foods decided to sell ar a very agreeable price of 6.29 a pound.  I used meat to make ceviche and baked skin to make a crispy chip.
