Spaghetti Lardo
If you like Carbonara you will love Spaghetti Lardo!
First, It must be Lardo (di colonatta)!
All you need + parmesan

Fry it not to hot, the basil should not get burned.

Add some spaghetti water and parmesan and olive oil.


Buon Appetito

A cheap (for 2022) ribeye, a half head of cabbage with a toasted caraway vinaigrette, and a dram of Taketsuru 17 make for a nice high/low dinner.

While we were out doing some work around the yard yesterday, our neighbour Dave came over with some fresh veggies for us...some fresh lettuce (he gets a bunch like this every day from what he has planted):



And some garlic scapes:



Decided since I needed to use up some spuds, I should make some garlic scape and potato soup...







Added some zero fat sour cream, and chives from our herb garden:



Dinner courtesy of Dave...thanks Dave!

my favourite meat...

old cow steak from high loin
(TM) EuskoLabel quality seal defines old cow as to: between 28 and 30 months of age; ideally it would be to find meat from castrated males (ox), but they had become scarce and really expensive (do not confuse with bull, different meat)
we eat it always grilled, only ingredients: meat and salt

using oak wood charcoal

you should get three colours in a cut: dark brown (never black, that means it is burnt) / pink brown / red



this is how it looks just before serving it in a plate...
