Huh - I always thought it had pate in. I'll leave it out, and chill as y'all have suggested. Thanks!

In between diaper changes and disappearing from IWL for several weeks (this parenting stuff takes up some serious time), I enjoyed this cauliflower korma. Absolutely delicious. Made by the missus.



And this chicken curry soup. Rich, hearty, and yellowish.

yesterday I had my dinner in a restaurant that have just opened recently and has a promotion on the meal


Crab and corn soup

Lots of seafood and I even forgot to photograph their tofu dish

All these and dessert (which I also forgot to take photo of) cost around $10-10.5 per person (these portions are for two)

My vegetarian lunch (I'm skipping meal on Friday afternoon during lent)


My dinner today when I went meat crazy...


4 kinds of karubi


Horenso salad


Atsugiri tongue (thick beef tongue)


Harami


Takoyaki


Mixed shaved ice with avocado and some jellies

Chilled it but the missus insisted on the pate, and it is ace. Cooked perfectly, thermometer notwithstanding

Homage to KC's salmon en croute

Almost forgot the starter

Just baked myself a sweet potato for the first time ever. Found it too sweet for me, especially with the red pepper in tomato I did to go alongside.

What would be a resolutely non sweet thing that goes well with it? Wondering if leek drowned in butter would go.

Also had a supermarket quiche. It was a lot better than I expected for the money.

I eat all sorts of things with sweet potato. Asparagus, broccoli, or green beans with a bit of lemon and sea salt. Pork tenderloin makes a great meat along side.

[Der Amf]

Ooh that lemon gives me ideas Maybe if I get some lemon involved it will make it seem a bit less cloying, acidity to balance the sweetness.

Over the last few days I've had a ribeye that I made a herbed horseradish cream for with pan seared spicy shrimp, some baked salmon thing with prosciutto and asparagus in a homemade butter puff that I couldn't get a good picture of and was too damn hungry to try harder for, and a pan seared duck breast with a red miso sauce I made that turned out quite nice.

Gotta say, I rather look at pictures of your cooking than Pateks & Breguets any day.

Also: If it helps anybody, try thinking of Beef Wellington as the English version of corn dogs:



I had sparkling wine and Twinkies last night, but am too ashamed to post that.

I'm not a sweet potato fan either. But, if you cut it into big spears, include some carrot and parsnip, curry the lot and then bake it it does make for a nice side to a fall dish.
