What's for Dinner #29 - 01/2018 - New Year 2018 Edition

@LindaWhit Sorry about Finn, fingers crossed for him.

Raining non stop the whole weekend. I have tried to make brioche twice since Friday, the dough didn’t raised. I have made this recipe a few times years ago, never had any problem. Might be problem with the dried yeast I used, another conspiracy might be the raisin I added. I will try making the third dough today if I have time, recipe here.

The failed brioche

WFD, I made @Ttrockwood’s mother’s version of potato and leek soup. Actually like the way his mom used minimal words to describe all the essential, very efficient! I made 2 versions, one as on the recipe card + white wine and brown butter, the second pot with the same based but I added the leftover butternut. Both were good, but have a preference over the classic with just potato and leek. Been eating this for days.

Saturday night out when the rain stopped for a few hours for a bowl of ramen pork based broth + miso and with black garlic sauce + chashu. Not bad, except the egg was obviously too cooked. The sake was Yuzu favoured.
