Tonight the po' folk at my house dined-on sautéed wild-caught halibut w/ avocado and heirloom pear tomato salsa over baby field greens with fresh organic heirloom pear tomato vinaigrette with one 2oz crispy polenta cake. Bob said he would like this dish in regular rotation on the dinner menu.

A big score yesterday. Local supermarket had a special on rib eye at $6.99 a pound. Special ended on Saturday but I headed over Sunday AM and checked the meat section and there were some left with some nice discounts. Bought four at about $4.99 a pound after discount. Seasoned them and on the grill they went.

Rib Eye: As far as I'm concerned you could throw the rest of the cow away.
Schlacky...You have sure been eating high on the hog lately.
A tip of the toque to your very worthy culinary endeavors of late!
I just finished fermenting a crock of Kimchi and am going to make pickled plum rice balls to go with it(Ume no onigiri).
A sort of Korean/Japanese fusion.
Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

A tip of the toque to your very worthy culinary endeavors of late! yeah, I'm kinda running out of ideas for new meals at this stage, however i have added 5/6 new things to my repitoire and wont be too upset to have to eat them repeatedly. never had kimchi before - is it worth it? Not too sure Mrs Schlack would eat something that had to ferment.I'm a Dumbass - Saurkraut!

I like kimchee in Korean-style soups.
A quick and dirty (and tasty!) way to spice up noodle soups with some vegetable matter !!

well the great bread experiment didnt go too well.
first of all, kitchen scales bugged out so had to try using bathroom scales - not exactly precise. still I managed.
got a decent dough together and started up the food mixer. The mixer is a bit of an antiquue having belonged to my father, built in the 80s and hadnt been used in over a decade. tested it, and spent an evening cleaning the damn thing.
Dough in mixer - grand for 2 mins, then pop and smoke burst forth from the damn machine. Cue grab, dash and dump of heap of crap machine into back garden.
so endeth the first attempt. Couldnt use the dough as the smoke had ruined it.
second attempt was the good old fashioned hand kneading, bit of a pain but quite theraputic. went fine - eventually after a very sticky start.
first time baking bread, set oven a little too hot and nearly destroyed the loaf. Was just about usable - thinly sliced and toasted.
lessons learned:
buy a new damn scales
less sugar
A longer prove
Oven not so hot.
Any tips from the breadthern?

Baking is a science - literally. You have to measure exactly! Any tips from the breadthern? Buy a bread machine - does all of the work for you! Perfect bread too!

Bread was going to be made today, one way or another!
I cant buy a breadmaker on the principle that it is a single purpose gadget. Once I figure out this oven Ill be grand!
