That looks good. You should try this but don't do it if you have overnight guests, they'll never leave...

For the meatless folks - you can use slices of Super Firm Tofu

 

We make borsch(t) every couple of weeks in the winter. Beets, beef, stock, watercress, sour salt, pepper, celery seed, cumin. Sour cream or yogurt topping.
Very colorful when you write your name in the snow.

 

Sounds good

Cumin seems interesting!

I went heavy on caraway seeds. Really made a nice flavor profile like goulash. Frankly I could have used more beets but using highly spiced kraut in the cook was umami marvelous.

 

Beans, sauted bacon, onion, garlic, brown sugar simmered in chicken stock and homemade BBQ sauce.

 

Quiche Lorraine, pate brisee crust, sauteed bacon, Swiss cheese, green onion.

This may have been on @GarlicFarts list of Grandma's recipes.

oxtail stew over jasmine rice with sauteed broccoli

 

Mmm, been a while since I’ve had some oxtail.

 

I've got some oxtail in the freezer I've been thinking about cooking one day soon, you may have inspired me. In the restaurant the chef paired oxtail with tenderloin medallions so there would be some flavour on the plate.

More Creami fun.

This one started off as banana sorbet (literally just frozen bananas) but I added some chocolate peanut butter protein powder to it. Seemed to work pretty well.



The pineapple sorbet didn't turn out all that great until my wife suggested i add some orange simple syrup someone gave her for Christmas. The extra sweetness did the trick.

Next time I'm going to try it with pineapple in syrup instead of juice and skip the simple syrup.



I have peaches in the freezer for tonight.

 

Must do!!!

 

It’s just not the same as Justin Wilson’s Squirrel Head Stew….

 

Rabbit may be my favourite meat. There is a slight sweetness to it. The only similar thing I've had is gibnut, a large vegan forest rodent in Belize.

 

How easy are those bad boys to clean? Chuck it all in the dishwasher?

I think I can only find frozen around here. Better than nothing, but far from knowing that it's "fresh". Haven't really made any. Just found out I can get ducks at BJs and that's a lot for my usual rotation

 

I've always found rabbit to be .. well greasy .. that's the best way I can describe it. Like a super greasy chicken.

 

Odd because rabbit is pretty lean

 

Had ‘em in the Truck the other day.

 

I would almost assume it was exclusively prepared deep fried if that was the case. As @Pablo8 pointed out, it is very lean, I've even heard that rabbit starvation is a thing in survival situations, just not enough calories to keep a body alive forever, if that is all that's consumed

 

I've just washed off the lid and stainless steel blade right after using them and hand washed the ice cream containers when they're empty. Takes seconds for each one.
