What did you eat last night for dinner? - Page 1444

Thanks guys. I thought the goose was good. I imagine we will do it for Christmas in the future as well. That said, I don't prefer it to liberty ducks, and probably not to the grimaud ducks either. Everybody else really loved it, and preferred it to other birds. We served it with chestnuts, cranberry and mashed potatoes, and with port flavored sauce.

nice christmas goose, matt, but aren't you jewish?

i like that foamy soup or whatever that looks like... looks very delicious as always.

Jesus Matt, even your scoring looks amazing. Did you rotisserie it for the whole time? Pardon if that's not actually a rotisserie.

What was for dessert?

gorgeous matt!
we were just three -- three dozen oysters with champagne, dry-aged standing rib roast with brussels sprouts with bacon and walnuts (and a 1981 figeac -- only two more bottles of my daughter's birth year left), and left over holiday goodies -- macarons and bouchons from bouchon.

because i know there are some other geeks on this board.

that's the temperature curve on the rib roast, as recorded by my favorite new toy,EDINA ALERT the igrill

Thanks. Yeah, it was cooked on the spit the whole time. It actually cooked pretty quickly.

The dessert was dried figs, dried apricots and prunes soaked in orange and grapefruit juice on top of a cookie crust and pastry cream with a sabayon sauce. Very good. If I spelled it zabaglione it would be foodguy approved.

Rambo needs this for when he mass-roasts his skinless chicken breasts or pork shoulders.

foodguy appreciates thievery as much as anybody. especially when it's on a dessert like that!

artichokes with lemon and bay leaves:


potatoes with sage:

Any proteins?

Sashimi: Toro, salmon, butterfish, and ocean trout and a few sushi rolls.

Ahhh, Rome!

nope. Though there was some ciabatta bread. A large chunk of the food I make at home is vegetarian, the other portion is fish, and a small remaining fraction is meat.
those aren't Jewish Ghetto style artichokes, but still delicious. But now I want that style of artichokes...

I love artichokes!
