I had one years ago at an Amway sellers meeting that had mushrooms & ground duck in it, among other things. Different & good, but I can't imagine how much it cost to make?
 
Unfortunately, not something I cooked but I got my wife to try Goat Curry this weekend and she loved it! As a bonus, since she enjoyed the goat so much, I got her to try some Lamb Chops, and another win!

This is big because these are a couple of critters we are planning on raising here on our new farm!

Finally getting settled in from the big move?
 
Country style ribs...from Crock Pot to oven. Yum.

Picked up a pork loin, froze a couple sections and sous vide the remainder after rubbing it with coriander,cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, 5 hours in the bath, dried, coated with coco, cinnamon and chili peppers, then seared.
Rice and black beans and roasted broccoli.
The chain from the loin went into a soup after seasoning and a short bath, sorry no picture:D

Yes, we bought a 10 acre farm north of Prescott. Fenced and cross fenced, multiple outbuildings, its own well with good water and 7 alpacas. Looking to add meat goats and hair sheep, not wool. We have some turkeys, geese, ducks and chickens on the way. Also thinking about adding meat rabbits. It has a small orchard with apples, pears, plums, peaches and some grape vines.
 
Wife picked up some chicken at the store yesterday. Going through the box with packets of flavorings and found too many chicken chili packets. Time to make some White Bean Chicken Chili!

Need to figure out the best possible side dish to go with it.

Perhaps I'm just a bleeding heart, but its important to note (as the husband of a cheese professional) that at the end of the day goats milk cheese is a far finer food than goat meat... :ban:

Beer bread? Maybe.

Corn Bread is an option, but where I come from, it's served with honey or syrup on top as a dessert.

Actually that's a great idea, because my wife usually makes the cornbread so I can offload some of the cooking!

Add a little chipottle pepper to the corn bread, you won't be thinking desert, my personal favorite way of doing corn bread;)

I do like curry goat; however, if I had a steady supply of goat cheese, I could live without goat meat! So, cheese professional, hmmm? Distributed into the world outside of New York? Something I should look for and support?

Trying different combos for crostini 1) crab and roasted red pepper 2) red pepper, mozzarella and basil 3) cherry tomatoes marinated in balsamic vinegar with mozz and cherry tomatoes marinated in balsamic vinegar with crab. All were drizzled with garlic butter and parmasan reggiano prior to broiling for a short time and all were so good but that jumbo lump crab is hard to beat.
 
I will soon have my kitchen fully renovated (a few hiccups have occurred), Now I have to figure out what I should cook to break it in. any ideas? Most of my specialties involve grilling, so I really want to break it in with style. Thoughts?
 
No pic but tonight was a "poor" night. We are in between checks, all sorts of bills hit etc. We have like $20 until tomorrow.

I still managed to find a can of lump crab meat in the back of the fridge... make a little crabcake with Old Bay mayo and capers on top paired with a sunny egg on potato bread toast and a glass of JAOM. Even when life is bad it can be pretty good.

:). She works for Murray's Cheese, teaching cheese mongers at Murray's counters at Krogers, Kingfishers, etc. how to serve Murray's branded products to the public. If you dont have a Kroger with a Murray's counter nearby the best thing to do is either a) come to New York and hit the Bleecker Street cheese counter, or b) go to www.murrayscheese.com. Some of the best international and local products on the planet...

and:

Perhaps baked squash or a tart of some sort for dessert?

Or maybe an Asian recipe? I've tried a few of these recipes with good results:

Just click on "browse recipes".

IMHO, a new kitchen requires a new recipe; something you've never tried before. Recruit a helper & be sure to have copious amounts of beer/wine/cider/mead on hand to enjoy before, during & after.
In the immortal words of Julia Child: "Bon appetit!"

Holy crap those look like amazing recipes. I will definitely have to find someone I like to come by to help me eat a meal like that. The something new to break in the new kitchen was my thought as well. I am really getting sick of this stuff.
