Mapo ragu with rice cakes…

Just made this two nights ago. Family loved it.

Liquid diet for a day and a half....prepping for a procedure. I am going to find me a nice, juicy bacon cheeseburger after I am done.

Good luck with your procedure!

What method do you choose to do your roast? About to put mine in also.

I do that parsnip, carrot and shallot thing in my Instapot frequently as I love parsnips. A cup of chicken broth in the Instatpot for 4 minutes perfectly cooks the veges and then I use the broth to make gravy and pour it over the top. A couple of chicken thighs in the air fryer, some garlic bread and a crisp white wine makes for a hearty and healthy meal. And fast!

Nothing as special as seared foie gras or caviar (@Brute - those dishes look so delicious!):

We've been to the Torrance farmers market twice now. The persimmons are so sweet; like candy. The oranges are cara cara variety and are incredibly juicy with an almost grapefruit flavor. We just can't get fruit like this in the Basin. Getting spoiled.

I grew up in Torrance, so always nice to see a reference. I think we chatted about this last year.

Anyway, I made green chile for dinner last night, and served it over omelettes for brunch today.

Also, smoked my first brisket today. Turned out really well. Got a smoker for Christmas, so looks like I’ll be doing this some more.

Venison stew.


Found a lonely haunch in the big freezer, so I rounded up the last of the garden produce (and some store-bought) and the last bag of 2024 golden chanterelles and made a bitchin' pot of stew. Topped it with some flatleaf and enjoyed it with the part of the Cotes du Rhone Villages bottle that didn't go in the stew to start.
