Good grief that looks tasty.
"it's a trap!"
grilled Codfish
lamb stew over noodles
matzo balls, waiting to schvitz
Like little allied soldiers, waiting to storm a delicious beach.
Jesus, is Passover still going on? You people really know how to get the most out of your religious festivals.
yum!
are those the dregs of a mirepoix I see in the background?
I brought lunch from home to the office
Pug inspecting the raspberry bread and butter pudding.
Husband made these for my birthday, they're a favourite.
INGREDIENTS
soft butter for spreading (he used Lurpak)
12 slices bread, crusts removed
200g frozen or fresh raspberries
CUSTARD
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup (single or pouring) cream
2/3 cup icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
Butter half the bread and sandwich together with the remaining slices.
Cut the sandwiches in half. Divide the sandwiches between 4 x 1 cup capacity greased ramekins, placing the raspberries between the layers of sandwiches.
To make the custard, combine the eggs, milk, cream, sugar and vanilla and whisk to combine.
Pour over the bread and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35 minutes or until just set. Makes 4.

homemade pug
this is cruel and unusual punishment unless that was meant for the dog
@OC he inspects every meal that is on the table. He sometimes gets a small taste. Watching his weight at the moment we have a small toddler and he's been stealing all her food any given opportunity.
More Homemade Bacon
My buddy got a new digitally-controlled electric smoker, and we christened it by using it to finish my most recent batch of bacon last week. From the top, clockwise: Black pepper and bay leaf; @tonx coffee; fresh garlic and tarragon.
I think we overdid the smoke a little, and the bacon got just a smidge overwhelmed with hickory, but it's still pretty damned tasty, and it certainly looked nice when it came out.

I roasted the shit out of these motherfuckers! Then I ate every last one of them.
that sounds amazing. think i'll have to try this over the weekend
@nikkuneko http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes... but go a little easier on the salt (and I went 5 minutes less on time, cause I like 'em crisp).
@ba thanks! looks good, though, yeah, i think i'd do less on the salt myself.
salmon.jpg
marinated in a mixture of dijon mustard (sorry, @andre), balsamic, oilive oil and lemon juice. whole-wheat fusili, steamed carrots and just plain avocado
i'll pass on the carrots, but this post is still Top Shelf
@ba where did you grill the salmon.. oven?
@Allanpoe In the broiler (for about 7 or 8 minutes).
