Here's that blueberry cake

Food-wise this week, all I know for sure is ginger meatballs with rice noodles.

I just PM'd you my address. DAMN that looks good and I don't even really like sweets/baked goods.

Damn...dating a woman who cooks can be fun.

Last weekend, dinner of duck breast cooked with a port wine reduction sauce with cherries, roasted brocolini and potatoe with fresh rosemary and then chocolate and cayenne pepper tarts for dessert...crepes with bananas and walnuts for breakfast. This week came over when I woke up yesterday with fresh apple strudel from apples she went picking the day before.

I could get used to this.

Oh...and three-day weekends were made for slow cooking ribs for about 3-4 hours until they are just right, while drinking beer and having a little to smoke. That was Sunday.

so she's old enough to use the stove?

It's not so much that I want to date much younger women. It's more that women my own age are smart enough to not fall for my bullshit.

Seriously. A piece wrapped in tin foil is goddamn heaven the second day. It's not too sweet, you can really taste the blueberries and lemon and it's the perfect amount of cinnamon. I stole the recipe out of a Stonewall Kitchen cookbook I had at work.

Last night was a brat fest with toasted buns, sauerkraut, spicy brown mustard, and various sides. We brought them back from NW Wisconsin in a cooler. Who knew 25 brats could go so fast?

Tonight, it's a torrential downpour in Austin that's been going all day, so we made wonton soup. The wonton filling is really simple, we ran ground pork, ginger, minced green onion, and black sesame oil through the food processor.

Good read. Social issues regarding food being forced on the poor is as old as slavery. Probably older but as a southerner, the plantation is always my reference point. On the other hand, I'm not sure where forcing food ends and wasps forcing their values on others begins.

I haven't read the whole article yet but when you (stupidly) print this quote...

“Michael Pollan is my new hero, next to Jimmy Carter,”

...you've immediately lost half the country and you aren't even two paragraphs in.

You made all that yourself or is it a combo of home/out?

Wherever you ate it, that's a great fucking run.

I made the Chicken/Tomatillo Soup and the Ribeye/Garlic Mash/Steamed Spinach, the rest was out. It was a great run.
