Not me - Yuk!

 

Tasted fantastic - the sous vide really makes for juicy food.

The green beans are with some potatoes - I topped it with homemade pesto (pine nuts, fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, salt and and pepper that I combine in a mortal and pestle).

 

Yeah,,,that's what I said...

 

Swell, just what I needed...someone talking about their colonoscopy in a food thread...

 

Misery loves company...

 

Well to get this thread back on track...

Made soup Sunday night, but that process started early Saturday morning, making a batch of beef stock - that took 8 hours...here it is just after straining:



And another container of it - made 50 cups in total:



Good time of year to make it because the garage is one big fridge, so we can do the initial cooling there before actually putting it in the fridge. Here it is after getting cold overnight:



Skim the fat:



Also Sunday we made chicken stock - the house smelled great all weekend:





Onto the soup...start working on the onions:



Getting there:



Now add stock and some other things, and simmer for a while:



Crouton and Gruyere applied:



In the oven:



Looks good!



And a 2013 Cab Sav from Chile...all good...



Have some leftover soup for lunch!

Cheers, Al

I like to add anchovies as well or Kalamata olives

 

Mushroom chicken!

 

I would be down with that, but I don't think my wife would be. She hates olives and hairy fish...

 

Long ago, before "Mr. Gout" came callin', I loved the added flavor of anchovies. Now it's not worth the pain

 

This!
