What's that you're eating?

[sgt1372]

Catching up . . . when I'm bored, I like to cook & when I have some company I like to go out to eat.

So, here are various pics of things I've been cooking/eating over the past few weeks & 1 pic of what I'm planning to cook this week.

Steaming a Cha Siu Bow (BBQ Pork Bun) for breakfast today:

Prep for a plate of Bitter Melon Stuffed w/#1 Marinated Ground Pork and for 2.5# of Braised Oxtails:

Loco Moco for bunch - it's hard to see but it's poached egg, on top of a hamburger patty, on top of rice covered w/beef gravy:

Grilled Oysters w/a Glass of IPA at Logorio's in Farmington:

Beef Dolsot Bi Bim Bap w/a large bottle of Sapporo (not in the pic) at my local Korean Restaurant:

Two chickens that I bought on sale & roasted beer can style (I used a sparking cider soda instead) in my oven:

And just one more pic . . .

Some sliced gravlax (made by me) with a honey dill sauce and a glass of $200/bottle cabernet sauvignon (a pic of the bottle & the carafe w/the wine in it can be found above) that I just served to myself for a mid-morning snack:

Short ribs came out awesome.

My wife made a big Christmas dinner for our family...
Beef Wellington (whole beef tenderloin wrapped in puff pastry over chopped/diced mushrooms and liver/duck pâté),
Creamed spinach, cooked carrots along with a warm cauliflower/mushroom and Italian parsley salad.
The meal was complemented by having a very nice Bordeaux style red wine from Chile.
For a desert my wife and daughter also made a homemade Yule Log cake.
A rolled-up sponge cake stuffed with a chocolate/custard type filling and covered with chocolate ganache icing and some white meringue and dark chocolate mushrooms.

Beef Wellington tonight here as well!
Spinach salad with pomegranate and dressing, bread, and potatoes.
Shot of bourbon in a Chocolate stout.


…He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

Merry Christmas from Montana everyone.

That’s awesome

What is the beverage?

This one involved bourbon, tequila, blue curaçao, orange juice, and limeade. Never more than a splash of alcohol for flavor. I’m mostly just a sucker for tasty fruit juices. The wife had bourbon coffee with her dinner.
