Enoch Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Scotch Enoch. Lawyers drink scotch. You don't want to get in trouble do you? Maybe them fancy private-sector attorneys. Me, I'm just a humble public servant-- a patriotic American drinking a spirit of a type that was distilled by George Washington('s slaves) himself! (The Scotch in the cabinet is more of a special occasion thing. For "just a normal Thursday" drinkin', the rye works fine. I prefer its spiciness to the sweetness of the bourbons that I could get at a similar price point.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromnir Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I made brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar and crumbled bacon for my wife and half a sandwich for myself we got a roasted brussels sprout recipe that we only serve once per year. poured over the roasted sprouts is a cream-based sauce that requires gorgonzola cheese, shallots, crushed pecan fragments, browned butter, fresh squeezed lemon juice (lemon zest optional) and a significant amount o' heavy cream. ten minutes after introducing the sauce to the sprouts, the vegetable matter becomes a soggy and unpalatable mess, and there is no way in hell to refrigerate roasted sprouts or the sauce. additionally, while we s'pose that roasted sprouts has health benefits, our recipe is admittedly a side-dish sized coronary event. no more than once in a year.

ShadySands Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah, I can't say this recipe was particularly healthy either as I used the bacon grease instead of the olive oil that the recipe called for That's not quite true as I used a little olive oil but just a little Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoch Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) I like my Brussels Sprouts simple. Half 'em; sear 'em cut side down in a pan with a little oil; toss; add a little garlic and a good slug of whatever beer you have open (beef stock also works); lid the pan to let them steam until fork-tender; take the lid off and cook off excess beer; salt, pepper, and a little butter to finish. Cleaning and prepping the sprouts takes some time, but it still works out to a reasonable weeknight side dish.

Cantousent Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I don't like smoking poultry as much, but I never make turkey now without a brining solution. Alas, Friday in lent. I'm reading for the Stations of the cross tonight for church and then I'll be eating some sort of veggie delivery pizza or whatever my wife orders for when I get home.

Cantousent Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Tomorrow, I will be smoking a corned beef brisket for several hours throughout the day. ...And I don't have an electric/gas smoker. I use coals on a cranked bed and put in my own wood chunks at my own timed intervals. I will also make pickled cabbage, roast carrots and potatoes, peas, and gravy. In addition, I'll pick up a decent bottle of port or sherry. ...And, while I'm at it, I'll pick up some sort of microbrew or some such. Maybe hard cider. 1 Fionavar's Holliday Wishes to all members of our online community: Happy Holidays Join the revelry at the Obsidian Plays channel:Obsidian Plays Remembering tarna, Phosphor, Metadigital, and Visceris.

Cantousent Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 They're highly salted, so I'm assuming between smoking and salt, a good long time. On principle, I don't keep cooked meat over a few days out of an abundance of caution. I do, however, often make meals and then freeze half or more of them for later consumption.

On principle, I don't keep cooked meat over a few days out of an abundance of caution. I do, however, often make meals and then freeze half or more of them for later consumption. That's what I was thinking, you could freeze what is left over for later We often have braai's\barbeque in South Africa and there is always meat left over which you inherit if the event is at your house. I have eaten leftover braai meat 3 days after cooking it and it was fine. But I won't go longer than that which I probably could but I choose not to 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

BruceVC Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I mentioned that my best friend is immigrating to Australia so last night we went to one of Johannesburg's most exclusive restaurants called Five Hundred at a 5 star hotel and conference center called the Saxon, it was amazing. Check this place out http://www.saxon.co.za/#TheSaxonHotel We had a 6 course meal with wine pairing so we had a different bottle of wine with each course. We had lobster, skank ( a fish) , pork belly, veal, a cheese desert and the two deserts. Each meal was also a theme. So for example the skank fish was part of seaside recreation that included mussel custard and edible sea sand..as I said the food was incredible. The head chef is one of South Africa's most talented celebrity chefs and he didn't disappoint Halfway through the evening the wine sommelier came to our table and said if we could guess the country and year of production of the wine we would win a bottle of Champagne..this is obviously very hard considering what a global export wine is. Anyway one of my friends g-friends lived in Greece for 10 years and she said it tasted like a Spanish wine and it was probably a 2010. It was also her birthday that night so we went with her guess..and she was right She won a $500 bottle of Champagne. Only one other person in the 3 year history of that competition has got that one right 4 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Cantousent Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Truly awesome, VeeCee! lol I wish I would have been there. I ate a later lunch with my inlaws and then the wife wanted pancakes for dinner. *Pancakes!* So I made pancakes, quesedillas, and eggs for dinner. Breakfast for dinner for the win.
