Since no one bit, I contacted the chef I used to work with back in the day and he's going to send me the recipe we used. :thumb:

:shock:

I'm not Spanish, but I'm offended on their behalf.

As I type this I have in my kitchen a Manchego, a Valdeon and a whole queso Murcia al vino. 8-)

Foie gras starts at $75; compare that with $40 at Per Se, where the price includes tip.
To be fair, that $40 is a supplement on top of the $295 prix fixe. :lol:

For lunch today, I utilize last night's leftovers to create another dish we used to make at the restaurant... a Jagerschnitzel Melt. Pretty simple (assuming you have the leftovers)... Take a roll and slice it in half. Place on a sheet tray. Lay the schniztel on top of it and cover with gravy. Now top with swiss cheese and place under the broiler until the cheese melts. Obviously, a fork and knife sandwich.

Making a Pittsburgh classic for dinner tonight... Turkey Devonshire.

Doin' some venison tenderloin chops (young doe harvested last year) in worcestershire with onions. My co-op sent me a couple gigantic portabella shrooms which I also plan to incorporate somehow.

:thumb: I love me some backstrap meat... still holding onto the 'sweet meat' from this same doe.

On that topic have you, or any other hunter/cooks watched 'MeatEater' with Steven Rinella on Sportsman's channel? Highly recommend for those with interest in both subjects.

just an egg noodle... family recipe, but it's super simple, so i'll share. 1 cup flour, 1 egg, 2 tbsp of milk (or enough to make it feel like the right texture... it takes some feel), and some salt. allow it to rest for about a half hour, then i roll it out with a rolling pin as it tends to rip easily when rolling it with a pasta roller, then i cut it and run it through the attachment on my pasta roller that cuts it into noodles for me.

edit: you could also just buy egg noodles at the store and use them, but I didn't have any at the apartment, so I didn't want to run out just for noodles.

Getting closer to crawfish etouffee time......
Speaking of hearty winter/comfort food, picked up some nice ham shanks yesterday. Time for some ham, cabbage, potato and green bean soup later this week. The temp is supposed to plummet again.

I have not been as active a participant in this thread - in terms of actual cookery - in some time because, well....... I'm in a serious funk. It's like all my cooking skill has left me. Last night, I ruined hamburgers. HAMBURGERS. Last weekend, I screwed up roast chicken. It has been months since I cooked something I felt proud of. For the first time in probably close to 20 years, I am in a state where I do not look forward to cooking. I'm finding this position to be fairly depressing, and I need to find my out of it.

Go back to a basic dish. Something you first did 20 years ago.

What is your "go to" dish?

Either that or crack a can of Chef Boyardee and eat it cold and accept your new life.

I always feel better when I'm grilling or smoking/slow cooking something. 14 hour pork shoulder, perfect ribeye steak, ribs. Those are my go to items.

Hope you find your happy place.
