Jeff, that London Broil looks absolutely perfect!

I would sip a Rioja with it and my tongue would throw a party for my mouth (quote from Mel Brooks).

Made my first risotto tonight. Came out decent and will improve as I do more of them.

No pics?

Need to size em. They are huge!

ETA: Lets see how these look...

Various mushrooms and shallots being sauteed in butter with a hint of garlic...


Arborio rice and Brandy added - reduced and the stock being added a half cup at a time...



Final presentation - post fresh grated parmesan and some salt and pepper... Topped by fried pancetta and some fresh chives

Goose Egg Custard.

I'm helping a neighbor kid fix up his beater ATV and he brought me a Christmas present: Two ginormous goose eggs.

Far too rich to eat in the normal manner so I decided to make custard from them. Just out of the oven, now I've got to wait for them to cool.

I prefer my custard chilled, so I'll set them out on the porch for an hour or two. 17° out there, shouldn't take long...

Bump, because this thread should get more action.

I'll play.

We went to Boston for my birthday last weekend. A big birthday deserves an awesome dinner.

Steamed clams and a 2 pound lobster pan roasted in butter, chives and chervil.

Stunning presentation!!

I admire anyone with the time and talent to cook meals like this. I can't even imagine doing this sort of thing at home.

Pie crust.



Basil pesto.



Seared pork tenderloin.



Medallions placed.



Fresh shredded spinach.



Ricotta cheese.



Mozzarella cheese.



Olive oil and Italian seasonings.



Served with scratch made spinach parmesan gnocchi.

Although I will happily look at artistic presentations of food in pictures, I'm a meat and potatoes guy who doesn't want his food to look so good he is afraid to eat it and spoil the appearance. And my experience with fancy food arrangements in restaurants is that, although they are attractive, there is not enough there to make a meal.

Just give me a good old country-fried steak (not the same as "chicken-fried"!) with pan-fried potatoes, biscuits, and the gravy made from the leavings in the skillet with milk and flour. Such a meal is not artistic, but it sure tastes good!

("Country-fried" is thin round steak rolled in flour and beaten, then fried in a cast-iron pan until crusty brown all over. Yumm!)
