Long time no see

Haven't posted here in ages. I have been busy keeping in touch with folks on FB and keeping my German Foodblog running. Apart from that I still have a family to care for, a house to maintain and a job to do - all of which is rather time consuming, nonetheless satisfying.

I still cook a lot, sometimes I post stuff on FB, but mostly on my blog. Today I felt like posting some random stuff out of my kitchen here.

Image
Pumkin-Carrot soup with ginger and coconut milk

Image
Mac'n'Cheese

Image
Potato-beet-pumpkin casserole

Image
For the want of a better name: Pizza Texas - smoky BBQ sauce, beef, chillis, corn, onions and bacon.

Image
Chinese Char Siu.

Image
Italian ciabatta bread using my home made wheat sour dough.

Image
Peanaut butter BLT. Some people already complained "OH NOES, the simple BLT is holy!"

Image
Honey-dill pickled cucumbers

Image
Spinach-potato bake

Image
Ragout with beef and broad beans on home made tagliatelle

Image
Stifádo - greek stew with a hint of cinnamon. In a perfect world it would have been lamb, but here it was beef.

Image
I now have a 22.5" kettle grill, so I started smoking. Here are some spare ribs that came off the bones just by looking at them. Dry rub, cooked over indirect heat (230F, hickory wood chips) for 3 hours, then another 2 hours in foil with a dash of apple juice and another hour mopping them every now and then. Perfect. Bun, slaw, wedges - all home made.

Image
Burger made from scratch. Gherkins, fried onions, sauces, bun - all home made. Just didn't kill that cow, but I would have.

Image
Because eating healthy is important - s'mores.

Image
Home made gnocchis in with sage butter.

Image
Cesar Salad "Surf'n'Turf"

Image
Smoked bourbon-honey glazed chicken breasts

Image
Beet risotto

OMG---my inner glutton is raging.
I want ALL of it.

I just made a wish for a Magic Drone that delivered me unlimited supplies
of your meals and whatever the various homebrewers around here are making at the time.
