Whats cooking in 2019?

Trust me when I say that you shouldn't speak for all of Texas on this point (and others, I expect).

You're right, I stand corrected for all of Texas. ("and others"...you'll need to stand me corrected).

Welp, lots of great skills above, as usual. I haven't checked it lately but glad to see the usual suspects are crushing it.

Here we have some bacon wrapped asparagus - end of summer appetizer. After this pic they really crisped up nicely, IMO.

Sunday's Beef Wellington.

I got some grass-fed Aussie fillet from The Butcher here, and tried a cheffy trick that my friendly chef Francois from Bar A Thym suggested when I told him that the bottom of the Welly always came out soggy: he suggested frying the base before putting the thing into the oven. I did so, but although the flavours were great, the pastry disintegrated when I tried cutting into it. The trouble is (I think) it's frozen pastry and pre-rolled into sheets and it may be too thin, but that's all I can find here - and I know I can make it myself but my kitchen gets to 30C when I am working in there!!

Anyway, some pics:

From the top, roast leg of lamb, yams (not what you call yams I believe), butternut pumpkin and potatoes, all roasted. Beans and broccoli, with gravy.

I found out, sadly, that I do not like leg of lamb- seemed gamey to me. I threw out 3 pounds. Weird, as I like rack and chops.

I didnt cook it, but Hokaido A5 Snow Beef at RPM Steakhouse in Chicago.

Meatloaf tonight with cauliflower mashed faux potatoes. The wife kissed my forehead abuncha times.

Man I love that. The Costco here had bags of riced cauliflower for a short time. Anything you wanted rice with . . . the cauliflower was an excellent substitute. I find grinding it down myself a bit messy but fortunately I like it in bigger pieces too.

Thanks, i find the cauliflower a heck of a lot more nutritious but has a similar texture and flavor.

I baked a catfish filet and threw it on top of a bed of seasoned cauliflower for my chow here at work tonight.

Aug 21 appears to be the last time he was here.

Why that scallywag!! He thinks he can just leave us? That's against the rules of course!

Coconut shrimp and fries. Spicy honey mustard on the side. Great for movie night.

That looks tasty!

Fries? I'm surprised.
