June 26Jun 26 that salad looks fantastic 🤩 i love a steak salad. it's farmers market season which is great, getting all my vegs from there rn. the tomatoes are sooo good! 🍅 which brings me to... various things: leftover grilled tri-tip topped caprese, seared so it melted the moz a bit, drizzled with an evoo we shipped from Florence last year. my god was this good. ❤️😊 lemon pepper and bbq wangs chicken cutlet with creamy lemon wine sauce grilled pork tenderloin, fresh collards with bacon, wedge with homemade bleu cheese
June 26Jun 26 HEB corn from the crawfish boil made for a nice spicy kick to the steak salad. Wonderful cheat code.

July 9Jul 9 Protip: the bread used really has a lot to do with the thickness of the soup. HEB bollilos are about perfect for a 2 serving batch, I don't even remove the crusts. Crustier bread will be thicker which is kinda weird. Most recipes call for removing the crust for that reason. Adding smoked hot paprika was not an improvement. Edited July 9Jul 9 by elfenix

July 14Jul 14 This goes into the "shit I'm going to cook this weekend" file: Thomas Keller's scrambled eggs. I make very, very good scrambled eggs. Like, people we have over for brunch rave about them. Not complicated: low heat, eggs well-whisked, cooked in lots of butter. Fluffy, delicious. BUT....yesterday, we had brunch at Bouchon in Vegas, and my plate had scrambled eggs that were the best I've ever had. The only thing different is the addition of creme fraiche right before the eggs set, but holy shit....what a difference. Ingredients: 4 eggs 1 tsp. kosher salt 2 Tbs. unsalted butter 1 1/2 Tbs. crème fraîche Directions: In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the salt until they are homogenous. Heat a 2-quart (2-l) saucier over medium-low heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, strain the beaten eggs through a sieve into the pan. Cook, continually whisking the eggs, until they thicken yet are still very creamy and not completely set. Whisk in the crème fraîche and cook for a few seconds longer. Spoon the eggs onto warm serving plates and serve immediately. Serves 2. I'll see if I can pull it off this weekend and will report. But jesus, such a simple thing, and they were so good.

July 14Jul 14 And why strain the beaten eggs? (Sorry if that belonged in the stupid questions thread.)

I dunno - I would THINK that maybe you get more even heat distribution and thickening throughout the egg mix (up the cooking column) as opposed to just on the pan bottom? 3 minutes ago, South Austin said: And why strain the beaten eggs? (Sorry if that belonged in the stupid questions thread.) I also dunno. I'll try it, and see what happens and describe it when it does. Expect me to use the terms "viscous" and "thick" a lot, and y'all try not to get all turned on by it.

I usually have chicken and waffles there. That's what I had last month and three months ago. But, I did branch out when I ended up there another morning: Quote Biscuit au Babeurre : Bouchon Bakery buttermilk biscuit, black pepper gravy, Hobbs’ bacon & sausage, Hook’s cheddar & Fresno chili $21.00 It was pretty tasty. I don't normally have scrambled eggs, but now I'm going to have to order the American breakfast next time.

Man, I ALMOST ordered that, but I went with the steak pane' (sort of a milanesa/CFS approach with gravy, with a biscuit and scrambled eggs). My wife got the quiche florentine, and it was the best quiche we've ever tried. I also started with the special watermelon gazpacho, which was outstanding. BUT, last time I went, I got the croque madame and it was meh -- a bit on the dry side. Will be hard pressed to order something other than the quiche or something with scrambled eggs next time we go.

I sat at the bar and the guy serving me said when the staff gets a chance to eat something, they always get the Biscuit au Babeurre. It had a little bit of good spice to it, but maybe a little too much cheese for my preference. I chased it with a chocolate croissant that hit the spot.

I had forgotten the strainer part of this scene involving a well-made but fictional omelette. I would have thought to beat the egg in the sieve, but I guess that saves a step of pouring it through a sieve into a third container.

Very close to the French omelette but I like the crushed potato chips at the end. Will try.

July 23Jul 23 Popular Post Goat shoulder Kleftiko. Bunch of garden veggies in there including some green tomatoes.
July 28Jul 28 a beef ragu I enjoy. It not a bolognese ragu as it doesn’t have dairy in it and it has tomato. It’s more a Jersey recipe but it’s not a Clemenza style sugo. Basically a chuck roast seared and thrown in crock pot. Onions celery carrot garlic. Bay leaf and thyme instead of oregano or basil. Red wine, a can of crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Beef broth. Shred the beef. It’s cooked about 14 hours. will serve tonight with pappardelle. Will post a finished dish then. I make a Sunday red gravy with pork shoulder, sausage, and ribs but Paulie would think I use too many onions.
July 28Jul 28 BTW, the Pecos cantaloupes this season are exceptionally kickass. We’ve eaten a dozen or so in July. Very sweet and great texture.
