Got all spun up and went a little nuts for just the two of us...

I had some ideas but no real recipes. When we married my wife had a very limited palette. It's still restricted but she's opened up to so many more flavors, and more importantly, ideas, and she continues to be willing to try new things. Somewhere along the way in her life, she had lamb she didn't like and has always protested but she recently agreed to give it another shot. I mean, ya know, it's possible that forty or so years changed things.

She doesn't care for sweet potatoes but I love 'em so even if she didn't dig it, I knew I would.

She's also pretty cautious about Mediterranean flavors but gradually warming up (no pun intended) to them. So, toasted up some cassia, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, Schezwan and black peppercorns Then ground them down. This went under the chicken skin about two hours before cooking.

Fired up the charcoal and...

Grilled spiced chicken and lamb chops served with a mint, almond "pesto". Sweet potatoes and Jack cheese with grated ginger, sumac, all spice, a pinch of clove, topped with Mexican creme and Marsala macerated raisins. They were fantastic. She tried them but still not her thing.

Sauteed green beans with an orange, balsamic reduction. Smashed cucumbers with dried Korean pepper flake and sesame oil and boiled Yukons with butter and dill.

The wife loved everything but the sweet potatoes (did I mention they were awesome?) and has complimented the lamb several times and said she'd love to try more!

Dude! What a meal.

Made "Gelbwurst" (yellow sausage) today. It's a very Bavarian thing. It's called "yellow sausage" because it used to be sold in natural casings that were died yellow with turmeric. About 100 years ago, they also contained about 25% brains. But, these days, it's all veal and pork. (As far as I know, brains are no longer legal for human consumption in the EU because of CJD.)

I made this mainly for nostalgic reasons, because I used to love this sausage as a child. It's actually quite bland. Think Bologna, but white instead of pink.

Ingredients:

Just stuffed into casings, ready for blanching for an hour at 80 ºC:

And the finished thing, with freshly-baked Brezen and home-made Süßer Senf (Bavarian sweet mustard).

Amazing, Michi. Gelbwurst is, apart of being called a "kids-sausage", one that i really appreciate from time to time. Still remember me getting a slice at the butcher when going there with my mom. Today it still happens to children, when i go there. An absolute classic

It's good to hear that these traditions are still alive! Over here, when you go to a butcher with a small child, the butcher will give a link of "Cheerio" to the kid. It's basically the same as a hot dog link, but only about five centimetres long. My son sort of lived on the stuff when he was about four or five. "Dad, when we go shopping, will you go to the butcher?"

When I take my granddaughter to the butcher shop as soon as she gets inside she yells, "hot dog store!!!" To her, the big selection of sausages are just different hot dogs. All the guys love it and she usually gets a free "meat stick" (pepperoni which she loves).

My local fish monger gives one of their really nice fish cakes to every kid that enters the shop. I have tried to argue about age discrimination but they still charge me 2 euros a piece!

Paneer Chili from Saturday and Roast Chicken with all the trimmings from last night. These we the most insanely explosive Yorkshire puds we've ever done! I know, yorkies are traditionally for beef. I'm a rebel, Dottie.

Today we had baked cauliflower with tahini sauce. Very tasty. The whole thing need 2 hours, So I processed a chicken for the next few days and marinated the chicken pieces nicely. And then cooked chicken stock from the leftovers.

peppers and onions x2, pan on the left is with spicy Italian sausage and will later be married to some homemade red sauce, linguine, and reggiano. The pan on the right is awaiting a balsamic reduction and will be for pizza topping later this week

post balsamic reduction, my favorite pizza topper:
