Good Times: Mammoth California

[Junglas]

Last week I hiked a bit in Mammoth California. We hiked to a place called the Devils Postpile (a very unique geological feature) and a a beautiful water fall- Rainbow Falls. We also visited Mono Lake.

Adding some cooking photos:

Steak au poivre (black pepper steak with cream sauce) and Hasselback Potatoes.
(Recipe from Ethan Becker’s (Becker Knife & Tool) family cook book: THE JOY OF COOKING - 2019 Ed.)

I used a nice bottle of cognac to cook it up, which I drank after dinner. The BK5 is courtesy of a very generous member of the Becker sun forum on blade forums, Don W., who hosted a generous giveaway and I was lucky enough to win it!

Butter basted Steak with garlic and rosemary.


Heavily seasoned with salt and pepper, basted in Kerrygold butter , garlic and rosemary. While I was prepping the steaks and letting it get to room temp, I used a recipe from Ethan Beckers Joy of Cooking cook book. I threw in potatoes, Brussel sprouts and green beans with seasoning onto a foil packet and threw it in the oven. I only had a skillet to clean.
