Best wishes for your recovery!
One of lifeâs great pleasures. Iâll work with the brown kumatos during the year. Besides garden tomatoes, theyâre the only ones worth eating raw. Lately instead of blt weâve been having bbt (bacon basil tomato) and I think I like 'em better.
Thank you!!
Whatâs worse?!..with so much time to kill, no new TV programs to watch due to screen writers and actor strikes! Ha!
Beef, itâs whatâs for dinner.
Well, ok, itâs actually venison.
But whoâs keeping track.
âVenison, itâs whatâs for dinnerâ ⌠just doesnât have the same ring to it.
LOVE Venison!! Did you make any yummy sauce to go with it?!
ELK next time?! âŚIMO taste even betterâŚsweeter!
That looks delicious and restorative! Best wishes for the speediest of recoveries!
No, just the natural juices from the venison touched with a generous dose of salt and pepper.
Dinner tonight was Bacalhau à Bruxa de Valpaços (Salt Cod in the style of the Witch of Valpaços (I subbed fresh haddock), which I again wrote up on the current Portuguese Cuisine of The Quarter thread. Very rich, but with that name, despite the 91F temps, I had to make it (and highly recommend the recipe)!
Thank you Amanda!
The Covid strain I caught must be of a weaker variant since I managed to maintain a full sense of smell and tasteâŚunlike in the early days when loss of smell & taste were the main identifier!?!
Ack! Iâm so sorry to hear you caught Covid-19 especially if itâs the second time. I caught Covid a year and a half ago when the omnicron virus was going around and remember feeling EXHAUSTED the whole. I hope you feel well soon.
Dinner tonight was cast iron pizza and a side salad. Still working on a good pizza dough as my dough never really rises even after 24 hours. And Iâve been obsessed with almonds and parmesean on any greens.
The pizza tonight was to celebrate a successful surgery for Connie. 2 weeks of The Cone will fly by Iâm sure!
Leftover Kiymali Ispanak (from the freezer) with a garlicky yogurt sauce. Homemade pita. Garden green beans (frozen last season). Freshly picked cukes and tomatoes.
Grilled chicken thighs, Carolina tangy gold sauce, cotc with garlic herb butter. Romaine, radicchio, green onion, celery, tomatoes, avocado, blue cheese salad with ranch dressing. Wine.
Cheeseburger made from a half pound of sirloin ground by pulsing in food processor after cutting into strips and freezing for 10 minutes. Formed into a patty, seared in a pan, and into a 300 degree oven until the internal temp was around 130. Should have taken it out a little sooner, 120 maybe, as it was medium rather than medium rare. And freezer fries.
So no Aaron Copeland theme music. Maybe something from Bambi?
Kimchi Soup with (mild) kimchi, pork belly, ginger, garlic, onion, vegetable broth, light soy sauce, scallions and cilantro
Blech COVID. Get well soon. I lost my sense of taste and smell for months which really sucked because it was over the Christmas season. Life was very bland and I was very annoying as I had to ask for help in tasting the food I was making before serving. Btw, for that cough of yours, try Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa. Itâs the only thing that helped me.
