Broken Heart

Tragic, hurtful, painful, defeat. What you see is a very broken 16-35mm 2.8 L. Did I cry? well not when anyone could see. Basically, I don't want to talk about it.

Cornish Game Hens

My grandmother, aunt and uncle are visiting form Australia. Sombody told them that I like to cook, and so tonight they asked me to make dinner. In a scurry I searched the fridge and freezer and I found these little bad boys. Cornish Game Hens. Three of them, some root vegetables, and at the last few minutes, I threw a few stalks of asparagus in the center. They were delicious.

Brioche

I learned an important lessons today. Make your own bread. If you have never made your own bread, learn to make your own bread, and then make your own bread. Because when you make your own bread the following things happen. First, your house smells like fresh baked bread. Second, you get to eat fresh baked bread. Or make a sandwich on your fresh baked bread like I did. A steak and brie sandwich on fresh baked brioche in fact. Once again, it is better than your sandwich.

Steak and Eggs

Wheaties are for wusses, this is the breakfast of champions. Steak and eggs. Rib eye steak, fresh grated hash browns and sunny side up eggs. Breakfection.

Fresh Ground Chuck

Summer is here. So I bought this thing that I've wanted to buy for some while. I've always worried that once I had this magnificent device there would be no turning back. I bought a Kitchen Aid mixer, I bought the meat grinder attachment, I bought a chuck roast. From chuck roast, to ground chuck, to burger. Life will never be the same.

Dry Aged Rib Eye

Alton Brown taught me that I could dry age steaks in my fridge. Also Christopher Curtis taught me first hand it was a great idea. So I bought a rib eye, on sale, a nice marbly one, and I dry aged it, put some great seasoning on it, then made a terrific steak. Seriously, I want all steaks to be at least this good.

Sweet and Savory Couscous

Those Israelis have both kravmaga and couscous! I guess it makes sense, one gives life and the other takes it away. Above you see some delicious couscous that I steamed, to which I added some roasted chicken, raisins, onions, garlic, and dried long-an (sweet Vietnamese fruit thing). It was a sweet and savory delight.
