It was quite good. I find that leek is an under appreciated vegetable, and notice I added no salt, as the cheese added all the salt that was needed. Far too much do I find people over-salt their food. But if they like to eat salt brine and wash it down with corn syrup water, well, who am I to...

Well, if we're sharing our own food pics, not that I usualyy take pictures of food... Here's something I made this evening, a leek and onion au gratin with gruyere cheese. 2 leeks 1 medium red onion sauteed until soft in butter with pepper, a pinch of fennel seed, no salt. layer in mix with...

Springerle. A molded shortbread anise flavored cookie for holiday times. Good ones are so cloyingly sweet and eye-popping with anise flavor that they have to be eaten with tea. example picture:

Peak First World Problem: I bought a different brand of pate fois gras than I usually buy, and I don't like it. The texture... is weird. Normally buy a imported French that comes in a tin (Laurnaud), this (Murray's of New York) is an American fresh refrigerated. How disappointing, because I...

Had to google what that was, never had that exactly, but it's cousin the kohlrouladen (cabbage roll) can either be excellent or trash depending on how it's made or prepared. Looks like the Euro versions are more meat filled than the dolmades Mediterranean type.

Well folks, tonight I made pork schnitzels and a artichoke risotto, you wouldn't think those 2 would go well together, but really they're a real Axis Powers meal, pan-fascistic cuisine if you will. :P

Then I take it you've never had gravlax salmon (cold raw cured) with caviar?

Ever try a grapefruit beer? It's far better than you might think. On a warm day a Schofferhofer Grapefruit Hefewizen beer is just lovely an refreshing, and at only a 3.2% ABV is a really safe beer to drink. Really more of a alcohol grapefruit soda that's not sweet like a soda pop. Really I'd...

Wine? Dry, doesn't matter if it's red or white, I keep a stock of dry Riesling and Gewuerztraminer and some d'Oro Portuguese and Augey Bordeaux reds on hand. I think I also have some California Pinot that's gathering dust... of course I have wines that were bottled back in the 90's. Hate to say...

It was, thank you. Fish with a pasta is pretty much a 5 day a week thing here, and I have to make it 'healthy', so light on the fats like butter or olive oil, so poached salmon is the best bet, doesn't take any oil or butter to do and can be done with lemons or capers or pearl onions, topped...

Awfully bad of me to hardly post in a thread I started! lol. from the kitchen of Kobold, a lovely steam-poached flank of salmon with dill and lemon and a simple twist pasta with a pan made spicy puttanesca anchovy sauce, we had with a Portuguese red that's dry as dust. trying a new freebie...

I don't like peanut butter. Like, at all. But the Mrs. bought some peanut butter & chocolate chip ice cream from UDF, it's not terrible.

Mmmm, fermented tea. That's a hard pass for me. The best tea of course is Tea, Early Grey, Hot.
