What's for dinner?

[jessenator]

From last night, some steak au poivre


Nice n medium rare inside

Puka Dog Poipu Beach. Polish with hot garlic sauce, pineapple relish and passion fruit mustard. They toast the bread from the inside on a hot spike. It's no surprise that I was introduced to the world finest hot dog via Bourdain's tv show.

Later we were visited by some sea turtles looking to sunbathe.

Homemade peach ice cream, garden raspberries, and improvised streusel.

Heavy on the berry side, because I'm gaining weight.

 

[jessenator]

Finally got tomatoes! Came in really late this year




Need to grill the tomatoes first, get some of the water out. Also, charcoal > pellet grill for pizza, so I'll do that next time as well.


And boy the berries are really giving it this year; i think we've already done at least a couple gallons of freezer jam.

 

[jessenator]

Turkey, havarti, cranberry sliders along with a parmigiano, pecorino Yukon gold gratin



And for dessert: vanilla bean, dark chocolate, raspberry, and tres leches cake. All homemade. Warning: do not buy a built-in compressor ice cream maker…

 

[jessenator]

And the ice cream



Vanilla is almost 100% perfect. Chocolate is 110%. Raspberry also. Tres leches needs some modifications , because it's too hard; not enough cream/egg yolk/fat.

My lovely significant-other made...

Home-made sourdough toastie w/ marble Canadian Cheddar (smoked Gouda or Mozarella also excellent choices);
Salad: oven-roasted vegetables w/ dash of sesame oil — potatoes, carrots, Brussels-sprouts, fig, pumpkin seeds with a Maple-syrup/Balsamic vinaigrette dressing and some Feta cheese.

Strong coffee, to boot, to help counter today's massive headache.

A very good friend of mine made dinner for my wife & I — hand-made soba noodles from scratch (alas hidden beneath the broth) and specially marinated eggs, pickled carrots and braised daikon and some eggplant-I-don't-know-what-it's-called also from scratch, not to mention the miso/sweet-potatoe soup base from scratch, various mushrooms and more — everything from scratch and he spent the whole dang-burned day prepping it all...

Needless to say, it was absolutely deeeelusciouslylicious!!!!!!

Probably the last of the year

Hard to believe that a good choice grade brisket is a whole $2 CHEAPER than beef chuck… $9/lb for beef chuck, wtf.

Yah for sure, I love oxtails done either Chinese style or Jamaican style. Haven't bought those in a long time too......add beef ribs to that list.
