Balsamico - A Food Diary

It tastes like vodakass.

That must be the pluralized Russian version of Vodak.

The only infused vodakakak I've ever had was infused with grapefruit and rose petals or something like that and it tasted baaaaad.

Shoulda gone for the skittles infused voduko.

Last night's dinner was marinated steak tips and brussel sprouts. I tried something different, I dipped each one, upside down, in EVOO, and then put a small ball of minced garlic on each and then sprinkled the whole lot with seasoned salt, roasted for 20 minutes. Came out great! They were a big hit

Pre cooked view (never got the chance to take an after photo, they smelled so good cooking, the family wouldn't wait, lol!)

Chef @fcleff with the Texas espresso hookup Thank you so much, bro! I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this!

Not gonna lie though, when I saw Gamelan, I thought of this guy from the old Star Blazers cartoon

I also seem to remember thinking that 7-Zark-7 was a real douche to the team

I don’t recall Force Five.

I had Major Matt Mason and Sergeant Storm... two super cool astronauts, who reminded me to shoot for the stars, whether they lived in Hollywood, or not.

This morning my (admittedly old) espresso machine finally gave up the Magic Smoke(tm) so I wasn't able to try the new Third Coast

On the flipside, we're getting a new espresso machine this weekend

I'm just glad I'm not the Emperor's espresso machine repairman... my throat does feel a little tight, though.

What're you going with? My rebuild on the old Lelit's steam valve has been holding strong so far and as long as the other parts stay available I think I could keep it going more or less indefinitely.

Crazy open mic last night. Boulder Shake Chocolate Porter on tap, very nice. And then I got the money slot sitting in on lead with the house band, on slide bass no less. Go figure!

 

[Kriegs]

What're you going with?

Not sure yet, I'm asking around the office to see what people around here have/ use. I'd ask on TB but it would quickly devolve into a carrots and tort debacle

 

[fcleff]

Wow. Busy day. So far all I’ve had is two cups of double French Roast, a bag of Cheez-Its, and some water.

A great way to end the week..... Spicy miso ramen with "sheetake" mushrooms and cold beer......
