(idk if this joke is dead or not. probably is)

 

Tonight I thought I deserved a piece of pie and was like yeah I can have a lil treat. But then I remembered I also had a cupcake this afternoon and then a cookie later in the afternoon and then this piece of pie so ooooop

 

Thanks, you too! Hope yours was great haha

 

German food is great, generally simple, but great. The thing I miss most about where I used to live is this place called Speisekammer. Awesome German food/beer.

 

Has anyone ever made pesto with carrot greens/tops? Thinking of trying it tonight. I want to add tarragon to it too. I don't know if that will work? I have no idea. I might end up with a lemon-tarragon vinaigrette instead. I have the dish envisioned pretty well. Seared scallops, carrot & habanero puree, roasted Brussels sprouts. So then pesto and a lemon vinaigrette? Or maybe just the tarragon-lemon vinaigrette. IDK. Gonna have to experiment a lot unless someone has advice.

 

Carrot green pesto did not work out very well.

 

the picture of the meal looked great though. How did the rest of it turn out?

 

Anyone making Christmas dinner? I've got about 15 people coming over on Christmas for dinner.

Thinking of making a pot roast.

Any other great Christmas dinner ideas that'd work for a large crowd?

 

I went to this Peruvian restaurant in tampa and it was SOOOOO good. The best steaks.

 

You literally came to my backyard and didn’t say anything OKAY

I wonder if I’ve been there, my ex’s mom is Peruvian. What was it called?

 

Haha, i'm sorry. I didn't have much free time. I was there for a funeral and then basically went straight to see Panic/Foster the people/Young the giant/Andrew McMahon

I think this was the place:

Cazador Grill Temple Terrace

 

It was great! I nailed the scallops, better than I ever have, and the whole meal came together nicely. The carrot tops just reminded me too much of grass and not the kind I smoke.

I'm trying to figure this out too. Except it's NYE dinner for 8-10. Multiple courses. Gonna cook all day. I considered pot roast/scotch beef with mashed potatoes, sauteed green beans & carrots. Thought about steak too. Maybe boredelaise?

 

god I love scallops

 

I'm doing Christmas dinner for 8 and trying to figure out what to do. I want to do an all belly porchetta but not sure if everyone will be ok with that. I've done prime rib, beef wellington, and bacon wrapped fillets in the past but kinda want to try something different. I've always done twice-baked potatoes, yorkshire pudding, and prosciutto and Neufchâtel cheese wrapped asparagus as sides too but not sure if I'll be doing those again or not. I can't make up my mind what I want to do this year.

 

I'm coming to your house.

 

Come on over!

 

come on over baby

sorry

 

Well I’m sorry you were here for a funeral

But I’m also still mad @ u


Also I don’t think I’ve been there but it looks good

 

do prime rib!! i don't think anything beats prime rib. although porchetta might be nuts

i forgot to post my thanksgiving turkey. it didn't get enough color as the recipe i used since it was only like a 8lb bird, but it was delicioussssss
