Just made some brunch... a few slices of applewood smoked bacon from my local butcher, three duck eggs over easy, and an English muffin with lots of butter, served up with a nice Darjeeling tea. Now I have to go to work and make other people food.

I'm making champinones al ajillo (Garlic/lemon whole mushroom tapa), pan fried zuchinni, oven baked tilapia with a spicy walnut/garlic crust. Simple mediterranean food. Lots of olive oil, lemon and garlic.

Last night we had breaded Chicken Tenders, Tater Tots and three different "other" accompaniments. I had fresh cantaloupe, the DW had cole slaw from BBQ the other day and the DD had a salad. A nice, light, simple and very low budget meal.

Found half of a leftover lasagne in the freezer so...that combined with meat sauce and a rope of sausage from the freezer as well is dinner tonight. Just need to decide on a veg accompaniment. If the store has some escarole, maybe that sautéed for me and a salad for the DW and DD

Thanks! I'm really tryin' My Secret is I recently discovered that a motorcycle riding buddy, who is a pro photographer, also has "foodie tendencies" and while flipping through this awesome new dessert book (Dessert Fourplay by Johnny Iuzzini) I was so taken back by the photography, I looked at who the photographer was and almost fell over laughing "hey I ride motorcycles with that guy!" - So I've been getting some advice. It's tough taking pictures of food you want to eat before it gets cold!!! Very short window of time...I wish I had more in focus in that shot, and some more post processing time, but o well.

JOHNNY IUZZINI / Dessert Four Play is the book.

If you haven't seen the book, it's worth buying just for the food porn pictures.

Dad came over for me to cut up and foodsave a tenderloin for him in the middle so no really good pictures, but heres the awesomeness that is duck and onion confit pizza.

I thought duck confit and risotto a was my ultimate comfort food, I was wrong, it's duck confit pizza.

Black Bean 'burger' and sweet potato fries...

Teaching daughter to cook - to give me a night "off" - ah well, but she's attempting roast chicken maryland pieces on a bed of roast sweet potatoes, onions, carrots with herbs and coleslaw on the side. Shall see how we go!

RPM - how did you get the blackening effect on your black bean burger and curry chicken? They look great.

Haha, well I have to admit I used a non-stick for both of these....the nightmare of cleaning out a stainless caked in curry or black beans was not something I was looking forward to. The chicken, I just wanted a nice brown/black on....I like the curry chicken that way, so, I just cooked on medium-high on the stovetop for a few minutes each side until it blackened. The coating in curry helped, I pretty much just threw the chicken in a gallon ziplock with 1/4 cup of curry, 1tbsp red pepper flakes and salt and pepper then threw them in a dry non stick on mid high.

the black bean burgers needed to be blackened to have any **** good texture and actually stay together. this time i used 3-4 tbsp of oil in the pan

Hey hey I did it!!! Posted a pic, thanks RPM for the downloading guidance. I'm not so good at finding my way around downloading pics but as you can see I can make a mean thin-crust pizza! The top is pepperoni, mushroom, fresh mozz, and the bottom pizza is veggie, basil, smoked mozz.

Gonna watch the Super Bowl tonight at my son's house with a large assortment of snacks and dips. (Maybe some wine, too)

I'm bringing a Garbage Salad (that may be a strictly Chicago thing like hot giardinera, I don't know) a bunch of jalapeno shooters stuffed with Italian sausage, and a lot of cocktail meatballs in sauce which is NOT ketchup and grape jelly.

I notice that the Pittsburgh public schools are officially opening two hours late tomorrow morning. That's how big a grip the Stillers have on the city.

We will have another granddaughter wave our Terrible Towel during the game. It worked for the playoff, when our GD from Pbgh visited and we all watched the game.
