We had our holiday dinner today. Seared duck breast with an orange/ginger/grand Marnier gastrique. Pureed parsnip and grilled asparagus.

Our local Amish store (part farmers market - part grocery store) had bison strip steaks on sale, so that was dinner tonight. Seasoned with hickory smoked salt, seard in a screaming hot pan, and rested while I sauteed the mushrooms.

First night in Italy. Pizza, pasta, and wine, of course, at some little outdoor cafe near our hotel. Now to bed, after spending 24 hours getting here.

Since corned beef and cabbage is definitely NOT IRISH, I wentt more tradritional for a holyday. Nice (but small) rare filet mignon with red wine/mushroom sauce, and a large green salad.

A few weeks ago someone had a thread asking what foods we have always wanted to make, but never did. I wanted to learn to make tamales. So, today was tamal day! I used a mass recipe from Rick Bayless' Authentic Mexican. The other day I made a rotisserie chicken and had half of it left, and...

After reading all the comments, I just had to make Kayelle's Egg Foo Yung. I followed Steve's recipe, but used my egg ring to contain them. It made 6 patties in the rings. We ate 4 and will have the other 2 for lunch tomorrow. I used roasted chicken stock, so it's dark, but the flavors are...

Many of you remember and are still friends with QSis at various sites. QBro died very suddenly Tuesday morning, and she is devastated. Her friends know where to go leave condolences, so I won't post it here. Please take a moment to leave prayers if you would.
