After months of delay due to endangered whales in the fishing zone and a price dispute between fishermen & wholesalers, we finally got fresh Dungeness Crab here in Northern California.

Forgot to take a picture yesterday evening of my dinner... But had a very good Raclette at home with smoked and regular raclette cheese, and some Morbier cheese!

With fresh salad, steamed grenaille potatoes, pickles and small onions.

I think it was at least 10 years since my last one... Hence my enthusiasm here 馃榾

On a cold winter evening ...


There's nothing more satisfying than comfort food.


Baked macaroni and cheese with diced ham.

The other night I tried a new (to me) recipe for a rolled pork roast with a fruit stuffing. I simmered dried apricots and prunes in bourbon, and mixed them with some bread crumbs, a beaten egg, and some herbs. I rolled the roast around the stuffing, tied it, and coated it with Dijon mustard and brown sugar. Into the roasting pan with a sauce of white wine, beef stock, and more bourbon.

About 90 minutes later ...


Sliced on the board ...


Served with wild rice and roasted asparagus.

For 2021, my wife and I have decided to do a "cookbook challenge". Each week, we each pick out one of the many cookbooks on our shelves, hand it to the other person, and say "You're cooking dinner out of this book this week." The results have been fun. My recipe this past week was from a cookbook of recipes from lodges at American national parks. The one I chose is below:


It came out well, and was delicious:

Treated myself to an old staple that I don't eat much these days...



We recently made a strip loin steak with reverse sear, and a red chimichurri sauce...







Nice red to go with it...



The leftover sauce was great on chicken too...

Made some Greek flavour inspired chicken last night...marinated with olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, coriander, lemon peel, some salt, then roasted in a frying pan...



Olve oil marinade in the pan had some lemon juice added, and made a nice sauce...
