Yeah cassoulet is foolproof tasty and low effort.

Some late night etouffée



It's my old go-to, a slightly modified version of a Prudhomme recipe. I cut down on the butter a bit and add some peppers, usually jalapeño, and a bunch of garlic. I also made some pretty drat solid shrimp stock. I started with a vegetable stock base, simmered for maybe 8 hours yesterday, and then tossed in the heads and shells from my peeled shrimp for another couple of hours. I am very happy with the results. I love etouffée.


The baguette is also homemade.

Sir you inspired me



First time making my own shrimp stock and it turned out great. I wasn't quite as patient/brave with the roux.

See if you can find yourself some lime leaves at your local asian market. To me it's night and day when I have a Thai dish that's supposed to have them and they dont.

Unfortunately makrut leaves are difficult to come by here, I only know of one vendor at one farmers market that routinely carries them and even then it's not every week. Same vendor is the only one I've ever found fresh galangal too

The Asian markets around here don't seem to ever carry them :(

Pssst - kaffir is used as a slur against black people in South Africa and elsewhere, the equivalent of the N-word here.

This wasn't Thai, this was Eastern European American Jewish/Midwest (onion soup/beer/onion/garlic)

Yeah, I just say lime and leave it at that. If a place sells them, they know what I'm looking for anyways so there is no need to get into specifics.

They also tend to freeze very well so I use what I need and vacuum seal the rest.

Beef short rib over mashed potatoes with bacon and mushrooms.



Gordon Ramsey recipe. Delivered nicely. Only complaint was that the sauce cooled and when I reheat it, it started to become a little unincorporated. Other than that I was very happy with how it came out.

I think the generally accepted alternate term is makrut lime. "Makrut" is also what they're generally called in Thailand so that's nice.

Got a Ebelskiver pan for Christmas, so made some ebelskiver for breakfast. They’re basically pancake balls with jelly inside (blueberry here). Surprisingly easy to make, and very good.

This might be the first year in 100 years or more that either my great grandma, grandma, or mother hasn’t hosted the Wagilia seven fishes feast on Christmas Eve. It’s always the biggest night of the year in our family. No other holiday even comes close.

Well due to the virus my mom is getting a well deserved break this year. My wife and I are celebrating by ourselves and we’re doing our best to squeeze in as much seafood as possible today. My sister and her husband are doing the same thing, so it’s nice to see the tradition living on in some form.

This morning we started off with potato pancakes and caviar.


I made a smoked salmon dip for lunch that we had with sushi and shrimp cocktail.


After a few Zoom calls with the families I made some bacons wrapped scallops. Then I baked up a stuffed quahog I bought with the rest of the seafood. Do people outside of New England know about “stuffies?” They’re delicious.



After a few more glasses of wine I started shucking oysters.


Then I made spaghetti and mussels for dinner.
