Because I harvested some cress


and lettuce


this morning I had a once a year treat- egg salad sandwiches.

I used to have egg sandwiches all the time! Great snack.

How can you only eat egg salad once a year? I love it too much to hold back that hard.

When I choose to deploy my self control it is fearsome.

I can stay off cholesterol medication with a moderate diet and a semi-intensive exercise regimen. I have chosen that. Now rather than eat egg salad or beef because there is nothing else I make every meal of them count. No more pre-ground dubious beef, no matter quickie egg salad. I make every meal that contains "bad" things wonderful and then I am fine for next three months or year. There is a reason I grind my burgers and make them from short rib, brisket and sirloin and there's a reason I only eat egg salad when the cress is fresh.

Bacon fried rice and a Belgian style winter beer.

10 course meal out with Mrs K last night with 9 matched wines. Let's see if I can at least remember the food courses.

Seared hamachi with wilted greens.

Arugula salad with Sicilian red olives, my new favourite olive by the way.

Braised short rib.

Scallop with turnip puree and smoked roe.

Branzino with cannellini beans and tomato.

Mushroom risotto

Canelloni stuffed with cauliflower and mushrooms

Cacio e pepe

Oven roasted lamb shoulder with pan jus.

Three kinds of chocolate things.

A Boulevardier to start, then nine kinds of wine and finally a digestif, specifically amaro .

[Henry Krinkle]

That's a full breakfast.
