What Did You Have For Dinner?

[Rodrat]

Made some potato rendang the other night. Gonna have some butternut ginger soup tonight.

Also love the gravy thing you posted.

[crazzyass]

Grilled salmon, steamed vegetables, some beer.

Was pretty pleased with it.

Chopped grilled chicken placed into a bowl of steamed vegetable (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower), mixed with Alfredo noodles and cheese.

 My fiance has been into the gourmet and foodie scene for a while.. She's finally turned me on to it. Well, I was always turned on to it as far as her cooking it, but I've recently found a genuine interest in cooking myself. It's actually quite enjoyable to make up your own dishes.. I think Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen are brainwashing me.

That sounds fucking delicious, man.

And yeah, once I got into cooking I haven't been able to get away from it. Especially cooking for friends and entertaining. I used to be shit at wine pairing but now that I'm starting to understand that more, it's opening up even more opportunities.

Lamb leg chops. 12 of them, all to myself. I've spent all week fantasizing about how to cook them, and I just love leg chops delicious marrow eye in, slowly baked over coals with rosemary and kosher salt and celeriac chips with a balsamic reduction.
I went to the cold box with barely contained excitement for a stomach full of perfect lamb, a necklace worth of marrow eyes and some time with a book in my confines. When I pulled the lamb out..        ..rotten.

So with that, peanut butter and cigarettes.

Pizza

and I'm about to go eat more pizza

Marinated some fine baby back ribs overnight in a homemade  mesquite rub, with a few added spices just to tweak the flavor.. hickory smoke, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinches of some other spices.. Then cooked them in the slow cooker on high for about 3 or so hours.. Actually my first time cooking ribs as bad as that is to say, but let me tell you.. Damn they were good! Meat pulled right of the bone so clean and delicious.. Definitely going to be a staple to my repertoire.

Ricotta gnudi, buerre monte, fresh herbs, citrus.

Not original, but a solid favourite for this time of year:

Pumpkin soup accompanied by Gruyere crab cakes or muffin-tin cornbread.

The sweet and salty works well with Gruyere and crab, the same way cheese on a slice of pie works I guess. No chilli is needed, but I can't stop you if you're hellbent. If you rather cornbread, use cornmeal and I recommend for a muffin tray of 12, do 4 of each: plain, diced jalapeno and cheddar, and diced fried bacon (bacon bits will work too). Served with chipotle butter and pumpkin soup, maybe onion rings simply high temp oil good batter and salt to season.

If you don't intend to have the mildly warm chilli in the cornbead or crabcakes, then have it in the pumpkin soup by way of garlic and chilli sauce fried in the bottom of the pan with pumpkin after you soften up then drain some butternut pumpkin cubes. Dont forget cream once you've brought the soup temp down.
