    Reading Medium Raw by Bourdain and came across this passage that was like he was reading my mind:

    Pretty proud of this one. Got a mean cast iron sear on the filet. Came out to a solid medium rare. Side of bacon balsamic glazed brussels sprouts and some mac I bought from the store cause I'm lazy

    Doing filet, twiced baked potatoes, a green veggie and salad tomorrow night. Want to have something out to snack on over a glass of wine before we actually eat. Anyone have any good easy ideas? May just go with a small meat and cheese plate.

    Made pork chops on the grill this weekend.

    Something about pork being slightly charred that just takes the taste to another level. If it were any other meat it would be considered burnt.

    I did serious eats mac n cheese recipe for the super bowl. Pretty classic take with sharp cheddar and gruyure but also added some crushed goldfish on top before baking in the oven to finish. My friends were loving it.

    It is super easy and also some of the best I've had. I buy blocks of cheese and grate it opposed to the pre shredded bags.

    This is my half batch I am making for tomorrow, I usually double this.
    -8oz Rigatoni (half a box of pasta)
    -4oz shredded monterey jack
    -4oz shredded sharp cheddar
    -2oz shredded parmesan
    -1 cup heavy cream

    Cook pasta with a little extra salty water. Add cooked pasta to a mixing bowl and combine with half of the shredded cheeses and the heavy cream. Stir well to combine, add S&P to taste.

    Transfer the mix to a 9x13 and put the remaining cheese on top. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees. I love this recipe because it doesn't involve me trying to make some cheese sauce on the stove.

    Did a day-late Valentine's dinner yesterday:

    -baked marinara and parmesan mussels for apps (worst dish, bought crappy breadcrumbs)
    -strawberry and avocado salad with honey and lemon vinagrette
    -Parmesan risotto topped with seared scallops and wilted spinach for the main course
    -chocolate strawberries for dessert

    Not to toot my own horn but this was my first time making risotto and it turned out well. Maybe a notch drier than ideal but I kinda prefer it like that versus some of the more soupy recipes:

    nope - strained drippings from the sous vide bag, better than boullion, red wine, shallot, salt & pepper, rosemary, and sour cream blended up

    Welp, I'm going to start to do this. Was the food as good as advertised? The Oregonian food critic has it as his 2nd best restaurant in the city. I 'generally' agree with a lot of what he says.

    it was really good and an experience all its own. I'd never had anything close to a lot of what they served.

    have to like lemongrass as its prominently featured in lots of dishes, obvious but its bold in a lot of them

    100% worth going

    Finally doing a better job cooking burgers on the grill with indirect heat, now i want to focus on making the most flavorful patties I can.
    I almost always use 80/20, but i know a lot of folks use a mix.
    What do y'all use, and what do you mix in with the beef when making your patties?

    S&P, fresh minced garlic, worcestershire sauce, sometimes a little bit of grated onion to give additional moisture and flavor. Can also add a bit of mustard to the mix and I also will sometimes do 80/20 chuck and a little bit of ground pork to give it a bit more fat/flavor. You can really play around with what you want to incorporate but I think the fresh garlic and worcestershire sauce makes a big difference

    I sort of wing it every time but I always get amazing juiciness from Worcestershire sauce. Let it soak it up and you get a damn tasty burger.

    Anyone have the Breville Risotto Plus? Been loving trying different risottos lately but the constant stirring can be a pain in the ass. A "no stir" option would be nice.

    Grind your own burger instead of buying the pre-grinded stuff. Kinda fun to do, and a big difference in texture.

    Did a chicken and andouille sausage gumbo tonight since I had some homemade chicken stock in the freezer I've been meaning to use up. The roux could have been darker but was paranoid I was going to burn it. Plus needed to add some water during mid simmer to keep it from getting too thick, so probably contributed to giving it a lighter look.

    Still turned out great, flavor wise. A lot went a long way. Very hearty and filling. I now have leftovers thay could feed 4 or 5 people.
