The professional and at- home talent here is remarkable, cheers to all who focus on the gift of good food!

It seems my local markets have not recovered from Covid. Good produce is hard to find. Your pictures from overseas show very superior produce. I don't understand why the supply chain, 4 years after the Covid peak (the point of the downturn), has not rebounded. I suspect my local US markets have abandoned the quality of local producers/farmers in favor of importing cheaper product, and thru Covid, the consumer has adapted to and now accepts lesser quality.
Local farmers have snow on the ground and short daylight hours now, but as spring arrives, I plan to seek out sources with better quality. I might even fire up my garden again.

So I asked chatGPT for a cabbage recipe tonight to go with bratwurst and asked for Indian style. It initially gave me under seasoned boring recipe so I asked for authentic full monte and much to my surprise I got a recipe with illicit ingredients prohibited in United States. I had said ingredient on hand, its widely used in much of the world.

Not the best picture but I thought the story is interesting.

Made 1,5 kg pot of osso buco last Sunday with a large helping of risotto (Demeyere 28cm Proline 7 pan was awesome for that), plus a pasta salad for a starter.

The osso buco (which was stewed for three hours and fell apart with a fork) and risotto didn’t survive the dinner party as the teenage son of one of the participants (we were four in total) was also present (”oh yes, of course you can have more… and more…”) 😂

Anyway, it got eaten so fast that I forgot to take pictures. Here is a picture of some pan fried spanish mackerel with fresh wasabi and japanese rice that I cooked the other day. I really like processing them, fresh mackerel innards have this almost sweet smell to them.

Fresh mackerel is very underrated if you ask me.
