My stomach just growled!

We had a lot of leftovers... some of them accompanied me to work today.

Tonight:

Three kinds of cheese (stilton, white cheddar, mimolette) with apple slices, walnuts and crackers.

Mushroom soup.

Salad with two types of lettuce, sardines, goat cheese and oil and vinegar dressing.

Sebastiani Cab 2001

Pork spring rolls (always an appetizer to more Vietnamese food)
Super spicy chicken curry with toasted french bread

Burgers

to be specific Habit burgers; very similar to In-and-Out --great with any cal/cab

(is this the wrong thread?)

First of all, I don't have it, second, it wasn't lobster curry, but curry lobster - a lobster tail with curry mayo type sauce and some foliage, and third, I did not make it - we ate at La Suite on Monday. I make a similar dish, and mine is better. If you still want recipe, let me know.

Had dinner at Zuni last night, a dozen of oysters for me (Nootka Sound, Kumamotos, San Simon, Malpeques) with Agrapart NV; piccolo fritto (deep fried sardines, onion rings, some green leafy vegetable); then, roasted squab with Boillot Volnay Les Angles 1er Cru '02. There were few celebrity sightings. One of them celebs was Tyler Florence, he was sitting few tables away from us.

Good ole' southern comfort food tonight mostly from scratch:
Corn casserole
Macaroni and white cheddar
Smashed potatoes
Ribeye

Nice to see someone does not shy away from vegetables.

Sorry, I did not know you had a kid. I hope both of you had your fun with carbs.

I enjoyed every bite of it knowing I would gain one pound for each bite

I reported this post to Child Protective Services - children deserve better diets.

OK, purpleman, here you go with curry lobster.

If you have whole lobsters, cut them lenghtwise while alive and add into simmering court-boullion. Cook for 5 minutes, let them cool, remove tail meat from the shell and slice in even thick rounds. Reserve coral for the sauce.
In the medium size pan, melt butter, add chopped shallots, garlic, bouquet garni, teaspoon of curry powder and cook without letting shallots brown. Add lobster rounds, and cook further for 3-4 minutes, add a splash of white wine, cook another minute, add cognac, light it up and take off the heat.
In the mean time, mix coral, other creamy leftover parts of lobster and butter in a sauce pan and whisk into creamy sauce.
Reassemble lobster tail in its shell, coat with sauce and serve hot. Rose Champagne is much appreciated with this dish.

No, you should have reported it to Weight Watchers.

Tonight:

1 tub of fried animal lard

Bella Donna's daily calorie intake here makes me full just reading them. How about some grilled chicken or something one night?

Texas girls can eat I guess.

I'm going to do a couple simple sandwiches tonight with grilled chicken breasts, seasoned with cumin and chili powder on grilled ciabatta bread. Baby spinach salad on the side.

I've got kosher rib-eyes napping on the counter since morning, salted and sprinled with olive oil. I think I'll boil them gently for a few minutes, then dip'em in egg wash and... Of course they'll be grilled! Quick rappini with garlic, some mash potatoes and some wine, I haven't decided which one yet.

p.s. note to self: I really should consider buying more Italian wine.

Thanks! Will give this a try. I have some Billecart Salmon buried downstairs somewhere, too... What's the reasoning on cutting the lobster in half whilst still alive? Will they cook more evenly/quickly?

I believe it's a faster and more humane way to kill a lobster. I don't like throwing poor bastards into boiling water alive.

I don't either. The screaming and thrashing has always given me sleepless nights....

This technique facilitates both the "quick kill" and the ability to cook the lobster whole.

Tonight:

Shredded Beef Enchiladas
Refritos
Spanish Rice
Cerveza Fria


Eff the carbs, a man's gotta eat sometime!!
