Yeah, same here. The night I surprised the wife with the homemade meal for Valentine's Day, she was under the impression we were going out. She put on a super nice dress, and took the kid to the babysitter. When she got back, and saw that I put together a romantic dinner at home, she said it was better than any night out could have been.

Bought 3lbs of fresh cod

You beer battering those bad boys?

We're both in a seafood state of mind, doing shrimp scampi over linguine with french bread and a salad later this evening

Nice. Did you make or buy?

Made some this past week for dinner. Always a great eat.

Tonight I'm making meatloaf, roasted potato medley with dill and garlic and grilled asparagus.

Wife is making a pineapple upside down cake or dark chocolate cake for dessert.

My pond here in still and looks like glass. I just fed my catfish...:-) I don't give them much but they sure come to me when walk down there... like Koi at the Omaha Z
oo.


I have a pork loin that I plugged with rosemary, ginger ( I wish...) and garlic, that I am smoking later along with 2" Lamb chops (smoke, Sous Vide, seer) with a 3 cheese Pasta bake and sauted veggies in a red wine, balsamic, butter sauce. Working on a sauce idea for under the lamb. I'm kinda hung up as I don't want to steal the veggie sauce's thunder. Maybe a Gorgonzola butter.... Couple more drinks...and I'll wing it.

I went out for it. Been craving it for awhile. I've never thought about making it myself as it seems so complex at the restaurants.

It is the sum of lots of parts, Ones I don't keep on hand.

I bet the city is alive today, are people getting their rides out? Still to cool?


[Reply]

Eh, broth, miso, mirin and soy.

Ramen, sprouts, sliced pork loin, green onion, half boiled egg. Basic and fairly easy.


I like to add cabbage, corn, a dab of butter and extra chiles as well.

Show off

Is that a platypus bill there near the top?

I may have to give it a go sometime. I know the broth for the particular ramen I had today is a 45 hour process to create which is likely why it tastes so damn good compared to others I've had. However, their noodles are lacking compared to some others.

I feel like I'd come up short if I made it myself, but I guess that never stopped me from bbq'ing while living in KC.
