Never tried horse before. Needless to say you need to add an egg for the horse due to its' lack of fat. Lean indeed but missed the flavor of the beef. Also picked up two filets of horse for grilling while the opportunity was available.
 Wow. I have no problem with someone eating horse at all, but I'm not sure sure I'd run out and try it. Kudos, KSC02.
Cheers!

Beef Stroganoff is simmerimg on the stove. Also homemade Italian Herb bread and a salad. Pairing a 2007 Clos de los Siete. The aromas are making it hard for me to wait until it's finished.
Remember, it's not how much you earn, it's how well you drink!

K, make sure you never share this with my D, and I'm very serious. Can you say, persona non grata. |

 Duly noted. I believe the French are a bit more comfortable with this. This evening: Beef Nachos and margaritas |

Actually tofu lasagna sounds pretty good to me, and I'm a meat eater. I've only cooked with tofu in Asian styles. Could you provide a guideline of some sort, if not a recipe? I'd be interested to try it. |

Why? My wife wants us to live forever. I've tried to explain that we don't have enough money for that. I'm trying to time it so that my last check at about age 88 bounces-if we still use checks at that point. The theory is that Tofu is healthier for you to eat periodically and that we should cut down on our red meat consumption. I showed her a picture from the NY Times of a cow on the beach in India and said, "You want to be overrun by these creatures?" She said something about leather seats in cars. So long as the articles about red wine and health continue, I can deal with this. That's why.

RobM, I don't know what Irwin's recipe is, but I use this one as a basis, but replace the ricotta with tofu ricotta, which is mashed firm tofu with some lemon juice, sugar, salt, basil, minced garlic and olive oil. Delicious. And I roast the peppers too. |

Sunday was our first wedding anniversary and we decided to celebrate at The Square in Mayfair. We have heard really good things about The Square and it surpassed all expectations. We were welcomed with a glass of champagne and some wonderful canopes while we reviewed the menu. We went with the tasting menu and just sat back and enjoyed the night.
The first course was a thinly sliced avocado with sweet pepper vinaigrette, a sour cream ice cream and an insanely good gazpacho jelly shot. The next course was my favorite of the night, langoustine tails with parmesan gnocchi and an emulsion of potato and truffle. What’s not to like! We then had a foie gras course, a monkfish course and an amazingly tender and juicy saddle of lamb with a shallot puree. Next was a tasting of blue cheese, a brillat-savarin chessecake with a strawberry tea sorbet (one of the best desserts I have ever had) and finally a mocha soufflé with dulche de leche ice cream.
For wines we chose the 2005 Pur Sang from Didier Dagueneau that was a wonderful pair with the vegetarian and seafood focused first part of the menu and a half bottle of the 2003 Sassicaia that was a perfect match for the lamb course. The somm. also poured us a taste of a sweet wine from Austria with the foie gras course.
The food, the wine and the great service, including a nice visit from the chef at our table, made the night very special and something we will always remember.
And this coming after the Lakers won the NBA Championship the previous night? Don't stop now; you are on a roll! Congratulations! |

Canned Salmon added as stuffing to green peppers. Added Melba Toast for crumbs, Tomato extract soup, with small amount of liquid for tatse, a dash of onion chips, and egg beaters. Topped with Tomato extract soup, with even less water for paste. A Sprinkle of hard cheese. Backed at 400 for 1/2 hour.

Geez, the only unprocessed food here are the green peppers. Is this Palm Beach Haute Cuisine?  |

Had to cook for someone on Quick weight Loss diet. They provided most of ingredients and figured that I'd be able to create something for diet. Otherwise here is only good food. No cans, little frozen, and no farm raised fish, Thialand shrimp etc. Try to maintain US only grown foods, except wine of course.

My dear Irwin, several thoughts.  a) No one uses checks anymore already. b) At 11.3 trillion in current debt, no one will have the money to live forever. c) Women...  d) I want to live as long as I'm reasonably healthy only. Seeing loved ones live past this point has become somewhat cruel in my opinion. And, with that uplifting note... |

Grilled wild American prawns.
I've taken the same stance towards shrimp as I have towards salmon- has to be wild, not farmed.
I'll match it with an Albarino, rice, red peppers, and home grown salad. If anyone can tell me how to grow bell peppers in Seattle without a greenhouse, I'm listening.
