Muscadet L'Harmonie. Also piquillo peppers stuffed with goat cheese, sauteed calamari and octopus, and cheese. Now full. Off to buy a bottle of Armagnac.

Haha. No, I eat tons of bread. By the way, we have been eating Bleu de Bocage a lot. Do you know anything about it? At first I thought it was Bleu des Causses, which I know, but this I do not know.

Never heard of it. Is it creamy like a Bleu de Bresse or more crumbly?

Medium creamy. It's quite good, if you like bleu.

Yes, almost always at D&M. Great shop.

Yes, they really know their stuff there and the clubs are a fun way to try different things.

basic steak dinner at home, with Kinokuniya vegetables, the best Need more BTU's.

Had to sear the steaks in my Le Creuset marmite, which is not ideal, but it's the only thing that I have that holds some heat. before

I'm hoping this could be a perpetual thread, with everyone describing what they had for dinner. Then we could mooch ideas off of each other!
I'll start. Last night, I didn't get home till 9, and I wasn't sure if I wanted breakfast or dinner food, so I compromised and made a fritata at the suggestion of #cooking.

I cooked up some crumbled hot italian sausage, added some chopped bell pepper, then covered that with some eggs+cream (lightly beaten), then topped with cheddar and feta cheese. I baked it in the oven for about 20 minutes at 325, then broiled it for a few minutes to brown the top.

The night before, this was my dinner (as posted in Draccy's dinner thread):

Bacon-wrapped scallops in a white-wine cream sauce, served with rice, and baby spinach (which also had some chopped bacon)

And, this weekend, I had steak and potatoes.

The steak was cooked on the lovely charcoal grill (natural lump charcoal), and the potatoes have blue cheese and bacon

No, this was a proper hamburger. I did see that they did serve one burger with pulled pork in it - perhaps this is what you refer to?

I've already booked a table there to go back.

Yes, after five years and well over 4.5k posts, it would be nice if this thread were to catch on.

Last night was basically a salad. Reheated the asparagus I had sauteed off in foie grease on Sunday, reheated some smoked brisket from the freezer, and placed those on top of a basic baby greens salad with fixings.

Was feeling experimental, so put a warm weather Cab. Sauv. with it. Fruity and molasses. Matched the brisket perfectly.

Damn - you beat me to it! I will refer you back to : http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=180341 Going to C-town tonight... but with a Vegetarian. That may put a damper on my desire for a big fat peking duck

Last night I grilled some chicken with Rosemary and ate it on top of cooked red and green bell peppers and onion and grilled tomatoes with a side of white rice. I washed it all down with a Jarritos soda, it was niice.
