I made a wicked hot beef sandwich with a left over roast. I caramelized sweet onions with balsamic vinegar, thinly sliced the beef and heated it in a skillet just enough that the fat in the marbling started to melt. I spread some creamy Greek flavoured dressing on Dutch crunch bread, piled on the meat and onions. Topped it off with Parmesan cheese petals. Crazy good!
A thick slice of ancient grain bread with seeds, lightly toasted and topped with cream cheese and cranberry sauce.
And a giant, crunchy pile of lettuce with lemon vinegrette.
Not much for me . I’m in the hotel room for another 2 1/2 weeks . I brought my Bialetti and coffee grinder a couple pans and a little stove top propane stove . Other than that I am making Annie Chuns microwave and adding prawns . Scrambled eggs for breakfast , cheese and bread , . Going out for the occasional lunch and dinner . Fly fishing has been phenomenal . Loving it .
A gloomy day in HV — almost Berlin-like.
Not scheduled to work tonight, as I was anticipating a band rehearsal that’s not happening… and so finally, the Thai green curry will make its long awaited appearance: the Chinese eggplant was still in fine shape, the orange pepper a little wrinkly (but it’ll get cooked anyway), and I’m adding about a cup frozen peas. Got a nice cod filet to chop into chunks and toss in at the very end. All served over basmati. Wish I could get my hands on some Thai basil, but no dice.
Early dinner tonight, possibly followed by a drink or two at the CBDTR.
We swear by Bosch kit for the kitchen. The only thing we have not by them is the second fridge (generally known as Mrs H’s booze fridge) - and that only because we needed a very narrow one which Bosch didnt sell.
I would like such a booze fridge, too! The partner complains our fridge is full of beer and wine and that 99% of the beer is mine.
You have good self-control, Mr. H.
Well I call mine a beer fridge, but everyone needs to have one of these.
Due to some of the cheeses and some dry aged beef I have used mine for, it actually has a very pleasant, faintly nutty odor.
Last night I made a dish of ground meat sautéed with onions, garlic, eggplant and baharat spices and toasted pine nuts over white rice
