Last night

More than a little jealous of that cast iron wok paul. Looks great.

Don't remember where I got it but it is one of the best finds ever. Fantastic to cook in. Its a 'go to' pan for so many things.

A cup of apple cider, the On Yuns, a bouquet garni, some tomato paste and Zinfandel.

Man, still awesome stuff coming out of this thread!

Last night my wife fried some ham from the hog we split with my sister. We have gone through our half in no time! next year we either keep the whole thing, or we supplement with a quarter beef!

Anyway, she fried that and cooked up some funky dumpligs thing from a box and string beans. I added some homemade sauerkraut and sourdough bread. And a bottle of my bourbon oak oatmeal stout. Even though the stout was infected it was so good I had to pop another bottle after that one!

Trying to get my schedule set on how to make more sourdough bread. It's something you have to plan in advance for.

Beautiful plate! I'm interested in how you prepared the Cuban lentils. I love lentils but most recipes I do are Indian and would like to branch out.

I bet they're fairly similar given the spices i use. Apologies in advance for "grandmother measurements"
- 16 or 32 oz lentils (checked for old/misshapen ones and rocks)
- Dice large onion, green pepper, mince a few cloves of garlic
- Sweat all 3 with a few tablespoons of olive oil on low heat until they start to turn translucent
- Add salt to taste, handful (2-3 tbsp?) of ground black pepper (white and green work too - green can get funky), handful of ground cumin, 3-5 whole bay leaves and cook another few minutes (don't burn veggies)
- Add lentils to pot, stir up, and cook for a few minutes
- Add broth (i typically use chicken stock but water works fine) to cover lentils by at least an inch
- Bring to a simmer and then cook until some of the lentils have broken down into a sauce, and all lentils are tender. You may need to add additional liquid (1 cup at a time) during cooking as the lentils absorb the broth
- If its too watery, cook longer until absorbed or cooked off

The process usually takes 2-3 hours for me, but I let it go until I'm ready to eat it.

Maybe you could use some of that infected stout in the sourdough bread? Just a thought. Regards, GF.

Cooked chili last night for dinner tonight. It's a slightly modified Frank Tolbert recipe I have not tried, but tastes during cooking and while heating up tonight are great!

Today Dallas plays Green Bay. In honor of our worthy opponents, I bought a large wedge of cheese and grilled some home made Brats to eat while I watch the game unfold.

Served with a spicy grainy mustard, kraut, on a soft bun. Along side is SWMBO's German Potato Salad and a cucumber tomato salad. ...and of course a homebrew Pale Ale.

We're 14 to 7 as I write this. Go COWBOYS!

Also roasting off some chicken carcasses to add to some stock I have going. Love making stock. Makes the house smell amazing.

What can I say, I grew up in Tx. I was born a Cowboys fan.

I'll bet that would be a nice glaze for a piece of salmon going in a smoker....

Well?

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Started things off with a spicy wasabi shrimp cocktail, then for the main course: spicy beef & veggies in garlic/black bean sauce, served up with Thai lime rice.
Regards, GF.

 

[LakesideBrewing]

Well?

Haha! Yeah, it was delicious!
I was braising the pork butt that goes into my Ramen. I think I already posted a pic of that here.
Cheers!
