Food

Faves?  We're having a Tex-Mex fiesta tonight:  sautéed veggies, grilled chicken, black beans, and I'm trying my hand at homemade tortillas (though I predict a trip to the grocery in my future) and, of course, Corona with lime wedges.  

What on your plates tonight?

[Chimera]

That sounds delicious. I don't know what I'm having yet

[curiosityandthecat]

Roast duck and Singapore rice noodles.

Hmm, well nothing at the moment because it's 3 in the morning here. Earlier, though, I cooked a random mish-mash risotto with lamb's heart, mushrooms, mustard & various other bits and bobs.

Tomorrow, or rather today, I'll be making a big roast dinner for guests (fairly standard one; chicken, beef, lamb, spuds, parsnips, broccoli, shallots, Yorkshire puddings, bread sauce + lots and lots of lurvely gravy) and a stock pile of Cornish pasties (to have later on in the day when people's appetites have perked up again). I tend not to bother with desserts because I don't see the point in them.

Yes, a good ribeye cooked over a charcoal fire is a thing of beauty.  

The homemade tortillas were a bust (slimy, gross things).  Instead of ground beef we used ground turkey and were pleasantly surprised at the results.  

There's a possibility that we'll sushi for dinner tomorrow (yes, sushi is a verb).  For lunch, I'm meeting some of my co-workers (I'm an off duty English teacher) at our favorite dive for darts,   , and bar food.  I can't wait!

This evening I dropped by the japanese supermarket in Frankfurt to pick up a very nice selection of super fresh suishi. Especially their inside-out rolls are delicious.

Right now I'm fixated on asparagus.  I even came up with a recipe for Asparagus, potato, cheese soup with bacon which is being tried out by a friend of a friend in his restaurant.  To make it even more decadent you can use a tablespoon of white truffle oil instead of the bacon grease.  Or, instead of the lemon juice you could substitute a quarter cup of wine such as chardonnay.  I also like to top it with a sprinkling of Asiago cheese and a few whole, steamed asparagus spears.

What can I say, I'm a hedonist?

Holy cow.  That sounds amazing.  I did a risotto with asparagus, red onion, and artichoke hearts a few nights ago.  

The bacon is fantastic touch to this soup.  Good job!

I'm fixated on learning comfort foods right now. Mr. Jane is a professional chef, so I'll never out-cook him, but after spending the days with carpaccios, brulees, reductions, and the like, I figure heart-warming "mom-food" (my mom, not his - his mom is a TERRIBLE cook!) will be appreciated.

So tonight it's ham and potatoes au gratin. Peas on the side.

Does anyone have any fantastic "mom recipes"?  What's your favorite comfort food?
