What you having for dinner tonight?

Most likely, chicken soup with carrots and rice.

Are you 65 years old or what?

 

 

Sore throat. Cough.

 

In the end I went with the above, plus five cloves crushed garlic, and a tin of anchovies.

 

Still sick, I am eating fried beef mince with chopped chilli and fresh ginger. Fresh lime squeezed over.

A friend of ours is staying over so we went out to Willams and Graham. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before but it's a speakeasy themed bar that has a bookstore "front" and a hidden passage behind one of the bookshelves to the bar in the back.

 

Anyway, I we ordered 2 orders of roasted bone marrow (one without bacon because our friend doesn't eat pork), brussel sprouts, and fries to share. I then had a french onion soup made with oxtail and it was delicious. My wife some lamb something or other (gross) and our friend had a duck confit pot pie which was pretty good. 

 

I'll post the drinks on the drink thread because drinks for the drink god

That sounds like a awesome little eatery and I took a look at the menu. Very appetizing. Your wife had the lamb bourguignon, did she enjoy it?

Bourguignon can come across quite bitter depending (IMO) on how it is slow cooked and injudicious use of bay leaves or cheap wine.

 

I would expect that pairing bourguinon with the right red wine to drink would counteract this. But I don't know enough about red wine or French cuisine to suggest one.

Yes, she loved it. I didn't even try it as I don't like lamb

 

She did have it with two glasses of some cab

I love Jamaican food so much.  Also, whoever invented curry, I'd like to kiss that person.  :biggrin:

I agree that Jamaican food is awesome.

 

Today I ate mainly plain good quality burgers with white bread and mustard.

I'm impressed that you eat goat, many people would consider this type of meat too exotic. But goat cooked properly is delicious

Goat meat's OK. But you have to admit the little bastards are evil.

I'm not eating it tonight in bulk, but I've made four jars of chilli jam. Equal parts fresh bird eye chillis, fresh carrot, and the zest of one orange and one grapefruit boiled up together till all soft, blendered, returned to the pan then equal quantity of jam sugar. Jam boiled until it began to caramelise then transferred still hot to jars.

 

The stuff is pretty pokey.

I'm not bothered by "exotic", quite the opposite, it makes me eager to try it.  Besides, I'm originally from Poland and we eat all types of stuff that many Americans would find revolting or at least strange, such as flaki (tripe stew) and befsztyk tatarski (steak tartare) and smoked eel.

Goat tastes pretty close to lamb to me.

 

Having some guests over tonight and will be watching the Portland - Golden State game as well as Game of Thrones.

 

Cause enough to go fancy. Will be making fideos with clams and saffron.

If you cook goat right it tastes just like venison. And I loooveee venison. I should get some goats. The are kinda cool critters.

I had a mushroom, garlic, and basil pizza doused in Sriracha sauce

 

If heaven had a flavor this would be it

 

I didn't know what  Sriracha sauce was. I have learnt my new culinary word for the week :)

Tonight I had a large green leaf salad and chicken breasts, it was okay...it lacked taste. But I ate so much junk food over Easter I need to just eat simply for a  few days

Wowzers but I made myself something so much better tonight. A smaller herb salad, avocado pear and feta. Then I did some over baked fish that is truly delicious.
