I know if I had thai bird chilis, vinegar, shallots, water and sugar, I'd be making that condiment that I'd be making that Thai condiment that accompanies satay.

Sure hope you drank, not cooked with, the Diet Coke.

Glad to see another heartlander blogging.

Awaiting photos of just what you did with this assortment of ingredients.

here's another question. where do you think the goat cheese came from? (hint: made by a hoosier woman who isn't ronnie's wife)

my camera's usb cable is broken :angry: so no pics for now, but i ordered a replacement that hopefully will work. it should come tomorrow.

brown brought me something very cool yesterday that i'll talk about later :biggrin: .

My MIL? :biggrin:

I will recuse myself here, since I know the answer.

later today i'll sort it all out, after i've finished my gummy bear cocktail :laugh:

here's what brown brought yesterday. i really like it. it roasts 8 oz at a time. my first try i didn't roast quite long enough but the coffee was still good.

i've also been shopping twice in the last 2 days. i think this is a little below my average :blink: .

yesterday went to the rogers park fruit market, which is 2 blocks away from my house. picked up some gerolsteiner, cashews for my daughter's lunch, and some cotija cheese. i wasn;t planning on buying the cotija but my daughter wanted it.

today i went to lincolnwood produce (affectionately known as LP). didn;t reall have a list but came out with:

a whole case of gerolstainer

an avacado

dinner rolls from val's bakery (val delivers his bread in a ford focus :wink: )

maille

1/2 & 1/2

lurpak (they were out of my favorite czech butter, jana valley :angry: )

POM wonderful

pigs feet

chicken livers

oyster mushrooms

and a couple other things i've forgotten

Mustard, or cornichons? C'mon man, don't make us guess! Oh... I guess the whole blog is about guessing, I guess? :huh:

Seriously, looking forward to it, except that I'm lousy at games. :blink:

Carry on,

Dean, I already know you just ate the bourbon and goat cheese and gave the rest of the shit away.

I was thinking that you had grilled goat cheese on wheat bread, drank the wine with it, polished off the bourbon in an all-night drinking session and then drank the coffee the next morning in a futile attempt to sober up. So wrong.

The Alpenroast rocks but you will need good ventilation when the cooling cycle kicks in. I've been using one for a couple of years and can offer plenty of tips and tricks but you'll have to visit the fabulous eGullet Coffee & Tea Forum to discuss that. On with the blog. I love puzzles if other people are solving them.

yesterday:

gf juice and coffee for breakfast

no lunch, was too busy working and pickling

i made bread and butter pickles. i have 2 cucumber vines in my yard that have been going crazy. every week or so i pick 6-8 cucumbers and make a batch of bread and butter. my recipe is adapted from joy of pickling (one of my top five favorites) and conatins cider vinegar, brown sugar, a little water, salt, cucumbers, onions, shallots, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and thai chilies (or whatever chile is laying around - fresh or dried). i'll often steal some hot peppers from my neighbors yard, he hasn;t caught me yet :biggrin: . yesterday my pickling was extra fun b/c a friend of mine gave me 1/2 gallon ball jars. these have been discontinued b/c the usda doesn;t publish canning reccomendations for them anymore :sad: . but i have 6 and most of you have none so :raz: .

i ate the gummy bears on the el ride home from school. i on;y had 3 or 4, while she had less than she wanted.

for dinner (while sipping on some bourbon):

yellow wax beans blanched and then sauteed in butter. they were terrible. i'll rant about my produce i bought sunday later.

into the rice cooker i threw botan (japanese style) rice, chicken stock, chopped carrot, and a sliced shallot. S&P too. set it and forget it.

pounded out the pork cutlets (they were brined, of course)

placed a couple of sage leaves and a chunk of goat cheese in the middle

rolled them up and tied them w/ string

dusted them with flour and sauteed in OO/butter until they were brown on all sides. stuck them in the oven for about 10 more minutes

threw some sliced garlic in the pan, deglazed with red wine and stock. let it reduce.

looked for the maille. i was out :angry: added a little 1/2 and 1/2 instead.

served the dinner w/ the bread.

had some more red wine later, and a 'cocktail' of gerolsteiner (german sparkling water that's VERY minerally) mixed w/ POM. some more red wine. ate a couple of cashews.

more later. i'll try to answer the great questions that have been asked later too.
