Things that are making you happy*******food and drink edition****** - Page 3

Train of consciousness: a few weeks ago, a "gift from the kitchen" Chef sent out was basically fancy shoyu eggs (soy glazed quail eggs). Mrs. Piob looks at me and says, "I told you this was the proper way to eat eggs."


Indeed. It's right by the gelatto shop you know.

The tomatoes I have coming in on the vine right now. I have 12 plants and 8 different varieties. Can't wait. Whatever beverage I buy to drink tonight while I relax. Food as of late has been very simple with a 2 week and 2 year old in the house. But that doesn't mean the booze has to suck. Despite it being in the 90's here in the Lou, I'm thinking maybe a red. I'm feeling it...

Deserves recognition.

I actually ate my first mango the other day. They were having a great sale at the store so I bought a few. They are delicious. I was very surprised to tase a kind of faint piney/resinous flavor to them.

I saw that movie as well.

Just ordered a Komodo Kamado.

Now, I'll duck.

If you ask, will he make one without the tiles?

made sort of a paella/bibimbap fusion.... used calasparra rice (tomato and chili paste sort of improvised gochujang/saffron/fish stock) with some kimchi/pork sausage I bought at a korean market, shrimp... namul (radish/vinegar/chili, spinach/sesame/garlic/scallion, soybean sprout), poached duck egg, olive oil.

friend of mine had great jamon today... beyond delicious

Yes, he has something called a "volcanic textured" finish in several colors that does not have the tiles. I think that the exterior is done is a similar way and but then sanded down into a smooth surface.
