Leftover brisket patty with asparagus, spuds and bearnaise. And since my emulsion sauces tend to come out too thick I added a little water to the egg yolks to thin it out and of course it came out runny! #reallife

Freestyle cooking...cause it's going on vacation for a few days next week I have to destroy some leftovers. So today there was a umami porridge. Had something like Chinese food with all the glutamate to the power of high 10. Couldn't stop eating šŸ¤£

Pasta, celery noodles, anchovies, hot peppers, onions, garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, apple cider vinegar, fish sauce, bacon, parsley, celery greens, and parmesan.

Was really tastyšŸ‘Œ

Roasted some short ribs with carrots and onions, and made some pickled sweet onions, jalapeƱos, and bell peppers. Pulled the meat, mixed it with some of the pickles, and put it in a grilled cheese with some of the roasting carrots and extra pickles on the side. Turned out pretty awesome - the crunch and tartness from the pickles offsetting the tender and fatty rib meat.

Took a freshly touched up edge for a spin. Brussel sprouts are surprisingly tough little buggers, thought I had messed up the sharpening job until I turned an on-yon to atoms afterwards.

Charred sprouts, tossed with lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, butter and Parmesan cheese/saw dust.

I made my first beef wellington the other night. Happy how the flavor and color of the duxelle came out ( usually they appear an unappealing bland greyish-tan color) but next time I'd probably make it a tad thinner. And I should have taken the extra minute or two and used only egg yolks for the brushed-on glaze instead of just a beaten egg. Pepperidge Farms doesn't make very good puff pastry, but it was all I found nearby.

Looking at this, I think we all should start posting pics of food AND DRINKS!
 
Pasta aglio e olio mad with bacon fat instead of olive oil. Added some cracked black pepper (a la cacio e pepe). Turned out fabulous.

My discovery of aglio e olio was a major game changer for me. I made it last night as a matter of fact with some cubed ham tossed in. Just that garlicy goodness can be such a canvas to play around with. Yeah, mine's a little oiler than traditional and yeah my riffs on it aren't the classic pasta dishes but such an awesome base that is, at least functionally, so easy.

I had wanted to make carbonara only to discover I had no bacon. Pulled out the jar of bacon fat for the flavour and figured why not make the other two combined. Hit the perfect balance of the garlic and pepper today. I could have kept eating.
