A few from recent dinners

the kids wanted an apple pancake this morning
I modified the Tribune recipe by adding a hand full of pecan chips



here's a cooking from Christmas day

Last summer I saw a Woodie Wagon similar to my Tante Theresa's.



It pulled a teardrop compact home behind it that was recently built.



It had a bed that would be a challenge for many adults to access.



The most astonishing aspect was the compact food service stowed in the rear:




This is one lovely set-up. I'd love to be invited over to play house.

Regards,

mhil-

Those lamb chops look amazing and perfectly cooked! Very nice.

Where did that bacon come from - does not look like Nueskes - I am guessing a local store that slices their own....

Mike,

Ketchup on a dog?

Proudly.

But then the subject of the picture also likes it on fried chicken, grilled salmon, etc....

Perhaps a better question, "A hot dog at Schoop's?"

I don't know of Schoop's, but I do know Mike.

From my recent trip to Kansas City:

Fried chicken, catfish and sides at Stroud's:


Full slab of ribs from B.B.'s Lawnside:

Schoop's is very much a hamburger place, in fact a fresh-meat, thin-patty-with-lacy-edges place from Indiana, but a six-year-old will do what a six-year-old will do.


What the other two had.

If everyone ate to convention, then there would be no new tastes to try.

Making stock for the new year

parted out a 14lbs bird and used the "extras" for making a turkey broth (stock?)

the bacon in a previous shot was from Costco and slow roasted in the oven
for about 45 min. (learned here on LTH....)

A few photos from a recent dinner at Minibar, the molecular cuisine outpost in Washigton, DC:

"Zucchini in Texture"


"Curried Chicken Wing"


"Bagel and Lox"


"Philly Cheesesteak"

Interesting that the cheese steak is plated on the very soap holder I have in my bathroom.

FWIW, used a white translucent cutting board to soften the afternoon sun streaming in my kitchen window!
talk about multi-purpose tools!

I love sentences that have likely never been used before and will likely never be used again. That one is up there on my list.

Glad to be of service.
