Tonight, I had a baloney samwich. (Don't ask why.)

Well, two. I ate mine then ate my wife's too.
Nothing photoworthy though.

I didn't actually know what baloney was until Google just told me. I though it meant 'absolute rubbish'.

It IS absolute rubbish.
But with a little poivre it's palatable.

I picked up this beautiful Ontario lamb rack for tonight, but I'm undecided on how to prepare it. I picked mashed and cauliflower to accompany it, and I'm pretty sure a curry of some kind will be making an appearance; just not sure if I want to curry the lamb or the cauliflower.

Nom. Curry the cauliflower - it's a bit dull on its own.

Or mint the lamb and bury the cauli in blue cheese (which should go better with that Cab' Sav' than curry).

Mint has no home with lamb in my kitchen. I've never really understood that pairing, I don't think it is all that suited.

I curried the cauliflower with a new method, which I did not really enjoy and won't be deploying again. But you'll never know until you try.

The lamb was prepared with a rub of salt, cracked pepper and some herbs, seared aggressively and then baked a high temp in a tent for a short period, so I could let it rest it's way into a perfect eating finish. I carmelized a large sweet onion over the course of an hour for the mashed. I did not do a green vegetable, which the dish was missing, but it was excellent nonetheless.

A good cab goes with anything, including curry, or from the bottle while mowing the lawn.

Ketchup is the standard accompaniment but I don't like the stuff. I was introduced to chips and mayo by the Dutch and what a great move!

Jeez Geoff; what's wrong with Ketchup? I call it 'tuner-upper'.

Baloney is known as round steak; or 'fryin' beef' in Newfoundland.

It's just liquid sugar. Bbq sauce is an acceptable substitution at burger king.

That's just wrong-headed. I'm checking the forum rules for something that'll cover this outrage.
