What's cookin', good lookin'?

[seela]

Yesterday it was raindeer liver with mashed potatoes, caramelized carrots and tart lingonberry sauce and a bottle of lovely Leffe Brune.

Today it'll be pan seared Arctic char with cauliflower puree, some kind of a salad and bread made of yesterday's leftover mashed potatoes.

And I'm really craving blinis with roe, so I hope that'll be on the menu tomorrow or at least next week.

Wow! You all sound so impressive! My husband is one of the pickiest eats around, so I always have a hard time. I am to the point now where I really want to expand my culinary horizons so he will be coming along for the ride willingly or not. And if he doesn't like a certain dish, I won't be one bit offended, and he can have a sandwich or something instead.

Smoked pulled pork on potato rolls with jicama/apple slaw. Beer infused bbq sauce. fennel, cucumber slaw/salad n onion salad and the friends brought scalp taters. It was by far the best pulled pork Sammie I've ever had bc I perfected the slaw.

Lasagna I made myself for The Boyfriend.

I made a bucketful of vegetable soup. Potatoes, leek, garlic and a bit of carrot, more for color than for taste. I made my own veggie stock. I used cream. It's gotten even better in the fridge.

Ate it with rye bread croutons, chives and a splash of olive oil. Damn it's good, but damn I'm tired of eating it after three days. I want blinis, I want blinis!

So, note to future self: do not make a bucketful of soup, no matter how good it is, because it'll postpone blinis and there's really no good reason to postpone blinis. Ever. Really.

Leftoverish taco night! Toasted to crisp corn tortillas, seasoned ground beef, oven roasted broccoli with crushed garlic cloves, red beans panfried with a crumbled slice of bacon, white rice, feta, and green enchilada sauce.

It may sound random as leftoverish creations often are... and I honestly wasn't so sure about the bacon... but, in case you are wondering, YES, it was the right idea. So right.

Toaster waffles, nectarine slices, carrot sticks, and gala apples slices with an obscene blob of Nutella on the side.

Prepping for a final on the morrow, so today's menu is:

Appetizer:
Shallow poached salmon, sautéed spinach, tomato concassé and sauce beurre blanc
*
Salad:
Boston Bibb lettuce tossed with a julienne of red bell pepper, bruniose of granny smith apple and lemon vinaigrette
*
Entrée:
Sautéed airline chicken breast with mashed potatoes, vegetable jardinière and sauce chasseur

I've got the salmon done and noted the changes I need to make for the final (way too much beurre blanc sauce) and found that my anti-fish hubby actually LIKES poached salmon.

It's too hot to cook. I think I'll just walk back to the ice cream store 9got back about 10 minutes ago) and have another pound of ice cream.
