I love roasted cauliflower, and curried and some other ways. It is bland when boiled or steamed and I cannot imagine calling it "steak"
A neighbour's son trained in one of his restaurants and met him personally. He said that he wasn't anything like his tv persona, actually a nice bloke🙂
I have two 2 cup measuring cups in the fridge. One has lemon juice and sweetener that I like to add to seltzer. The other has my pickle starter. They look remarkably similar.
I think you know where this is going.

Lemon pickles? 😀
Back bacon looks nice! 😛
Hey Cal, out of curiosity what kind of wood (a few pics back) is your living room floors? Looks almost like heart cypress but that’d be a little out of place way up there!

Yes, the pickle seltzer was delicious. The amount I could to gag down that is.
Thanks on the back bacon Bob. I said I was worried and I sure was, but in the end I done did swim in this pond enough times, I can guess. I didn't know I was going to nail it though. Good times at Gordon Mansion!

It's fake. It's one of those grain textured laminates. It came with the place. It was fun in the beginning though to have the 'man' of the house come in, scratch the surface and say to his wife in a whispered voice "it's real wood." It happened twice. It looks nice but it's as bad as any other fake floor. One un-noticed spill (or bad doggy) means irreparable damage.
My birthday: so chat with family over gin-based cocktails, out with the cast-iron to make steak frites with mushrooms (such great reward, for so little effort (I actually used Bavette cuts for flavour; wonderful) and later - and my utter fave - a decent lump of specially-sourced Stilton cheese that was ready to greet me by name.
Simple pleasures, eh.

So honey made yogurt with 2 litres milk, a 300 ml can of condensed milk and active starter. 10 hours in the instant pot then into plastic cups and into the freezer. I looked on in wonderment it’s true but will grab a second one after every dinner now.
Who knew?

Yes, after a week of cold and rain last night I grilled hamburgers over charcoal, accompanied by potato salad and washed down with rum punch. (My mother brought the Mount Gay.)
I recently read an article about a woman who worked or works with refugees in Lesbos, of ten feeding them or cooking with them to prepare a meal. She has published a cookbook apparently, and inthe article she provided one recipe which she said was evocative of her time there.
You marinate some chicken things in a mixture of olive oil, pomegranate molasses, tomato paste, allspice, sumac, garlic, Aleppo pepper (1), and salt and black pepper. Marinate at least 3 hours. She said to roast them in a hot oven but I chose to grill them over charcoal. Delicious! Served with rice and salad, no pics.
1. Nobody seems to sell Aleppo pepper around here, I just used some crushed red chilis.

Here you go: recipes for quite a few ice creams, sorbets, frozen yogurts ... plus two excellent (IMO) cocktails.
