What did you eat last night for dinner? - Page 1313

Hm. I'll try it even slower next time. I've seen a video where the person adds all the oil and lemon juice from the very beginning, blends for a second with the Bamix and it's done. Whole egg though, which probably is the reason why it worked.
Do you blend by hand?

I usually do mayonnaise by hand. Try pouring the oil on one side of the bowl, and then whisking it, gradually, into the yolk/mustard.

Maybe I'll make a video.

I guess the problem with using the Bamix is that you need a really (!) narrow jar (approx just a tad wider than the Bamix itself) to be able to add the oil slowly. Otherwise, using a wider (normal) jar, you'll need a minimum amount of liquid to actually be able to mix. That's what was the main problem, I guess. I'll do it by hand next time. I like old-fashioned (not just the cocktail) in general anyway.
But when you're in a hurry, it's freaking fast with the Bamix (with most hand blenders I guess). Literally 1-2 seconds.

So I ended up with my asparagus and egg..along with a mushroom risotto and some veggies. Alongside are some Japanese sweet potato chips that were fried in coconut oil. It's the first time I've ever used coconut oil for anything, and I dug it.


After work


Dinner



I really couldn't figure out a good way to plate anything. I ended up making a risotto "patty" with a ring mold, and then basically just layered asparagus, poached egg, arugula, tomato and mozarella on top of it sort of haphazardly. All that went on it was sea salt, olive oil and a bit of hazelnut oil (and black pepper). If I did it again, I would put pancetta in there somehow.

Ok, now tell me how to make it better.

My wife went out this evening so I was left to my own devices, decided to kill myself with fat white people food.

^ perfecto!

What is that Drew?

looks like tournedos rossini, no?

It is. Well, it was supposed to be. I got a cheap deal on a wagyu filet from Fukushima (thumbs up me if I ever start glowing) and so it was made.

heading to a french restaurant tonight for my birthday dinner! could be my first taste of tartare

Enjoy it!

Ummmm...what have we got here? Particularly curious about the stuff on the left.

That is carrot with small shrimps mixed up with potato and salad majo. Actually I didn't like that one, it was to heavy. And some how they came up to put some salt in there? That made the taste very strange.

 

For the rest caviar, salmon, dry tomatoes and yeah the normal.

Where was this? The plating is, ummm, terrible.
