Donella and I took the drive together to go visit Charleigh in her college town of Richmond Virginia. We made reservations a week in advance for the number one rated restaurant in Virginia's capital city. I can see why. It's a Greek restaurant and everything from the Greek style Calamari, the roasted beets with lemon Tzatziki, lamb shanks, fish with, and drinks were excellent! The sauce for the lamb was a completely different take that had so much going on flavor wise.

Where's the burger Nate?

Under the egg, bacon, onions,peppers ,mushrooms ect

 

[Nate1977]

When , filet is on sale for 6.99/pd well you make filet

 

[CigarStone]

Stuffed shells. I love stuffed shells but I don't like the massive overload of ricotta cheese so I mixed venison sausage and mushrooms in both the stuffing and the sauce.

 

[Nate1977]

I made breakfast for my Japanese family, avocado toast with a poached egg and crispy bacon. They had to look all over the kitchen to find 4 sets of forks and knives!

 

[JoeMO]

Slow Cooker Flaming Jack Cauliflower. Super easy and tasty.

 

[jfields]

Pan seared Chilean Sea Bass, brussel sprouts, & augratin potatoes.

If you can't go to the St Patrick's Day party, you make one yourself.

I found this method for making sausage gravy and it has become the best yet.


Brown a pound of sausage in a large cast iron skillet:


Add a quarter cup of flour and continue to Brown for 2 minutes. The flour will stick to the bottom of the pan. Don't worry, it will all come up easily.

Start adding milk one cup at a time while continuously stirring, gently scraping the bottom with a square wooden spoon:


I added some crushed red pepper for tasteless Heat and a little bit of cinnamon for flavor:

Some bacon flavored hot sauce:


And a double New England IPA to top it off:

After eating about half of this, I took the remainder and rubbed it with brown sugar, yellow mustard, banana pepper sauce, and put it on a 200 degree smoker for 20 minutes. I then moved it to direct heat for a couple minutes on each side to caramelize everything.

A little drier but interesting! Kinda like candied corned beef/burnt ends.

Man vs Food.

Two toasted cheese sandwiches, one burger, dill pickels and ketchup.

I've been traveling for the past few weeks, and I binged a bunch of cooking shows while I was gone, so when I got home I decided to make something nice for the wifey. At the airport I saw a ten minute video on how to make a chicken ballotine, and after a quick trip to the grocery store I decided it would me tonight's menu. It took more than ten minutes, but Mrs_Nihon was happy with the results. Chicken ballotine with mushroom puree. It's a whole chicken, that you debone and wrap in the skin after pounding the breast meat thin and making mousse out of the dark meat. It was more complicated than I anticipated, but I'm glad I did it. I have ideas for how to do better next time!
