In my part of the world it means lots of Juniper and Rosemary, not sure about where you are.

 

when I use herbs in cooking it’s always, fresh rosemary, thyme, & sage. I’ll have to try junipers.

 

You can also substitute a bit of London dry gin (Tanqueray, Bombay Sapphire, Beefeater are all common) if you can’t find juniper berries.

 

Using up some leftover shredded lettuce for a Caesar salad.

 

all of that would not make it into the dish, but thanks!!

 

Juniper will be dry if you find it. It doesn't rehydrate well and can end up as "sand" if not removed. I put a tblspn or so on a cutting board and give them a crush with a pot bottom then stain them out afterwards.

good to know, thanks

 

that looks pretty dang good. I'm not a crouton person, tho. I always pick them out.

Mmmm. Meatball is my #3 fave sandwich.

 

Well that wasn't ground deer meat when it thawed...

 

What was it?

 

It was some salt cured deer hams I had sliced up... So I kinda wound up with a country fried corned venison steak. My wife was craving a Willie burger this weekend (depression era hamburger that's mostly bread and basically deep fried, Willie's is the name of a burger shop around here that does em) and I told her I'd set some meat out and make some one night this week... Well I had my bread crumbs ready and then sliced open the bag and my burger came out in slices so I had to improvise

 

Rhubarb pie

 

Wife bought chard. I think she tries to trip me up w random ingredients.

So I made a Strata.

 

She got you down for chopped / iron chef…

 

Haha.
I’m not lying. I hoisted the chard over my head and fist pumped in the air and exclaimed, “aaand today’s secret ingredient isssss SWISSS CHHHAAAARRD!” In my best Chairman voice.

 

Tonight was a freezer dive. Noodles were fresh.
