Quesadillas

Cumin lamb from one of the local Chinese places

Part two:

Pesto chicken salad sandwich

One pot meal consisting of Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, veges, and rice. Seasoned with Tony Chachere’s.

I also made buttered mochi, but I forgot to take a picture of it.

You can get bull testicle here at a few places. I haven't tried it yet, but I think I'd like to.

My buddy, who's a rancher, says the younger calf nuts are the way to go. Bulls and older calves have more gristle.

I managed to sneak away at last year's branding before the oyster fry.

One thing I'd like to try is marrow. Safeway has a marrow bone sale right now for $4.49 per lb, which is a fucking rip off considering it's probably a throw away piece for soup stock. They do clean it up and cut it lengthwise in half, but still...

Maybe I'll bite the bullet and give it a whirl if I have a hankering.

On one hand, a pound of marrow goes a long way. But that's almost the same price as ground beef.

Marrow is excellent, both as an additive and on its own. If you're looking to dip your toes in, make yourself Sauce Bordelaise.

I suppose I'm assuming there's 80% bone and 20% marrow.

It looked good in the flyer, and lord knows they sell 'fashionable' cuts at a premium price.

Sauce Bordelaise sounds right up my alley. I'll give the marrow a try on its own roasted with salt.

If you don't already own it, I'd highly recommend you pick up The Flavor Bible.

Here's the excerpt on Venison.

Bold is recommended. BOLD CAPS is highly recommended.

Those really do look amazing. Love the ones with color in particular.

Curious about pricing, gold coated cheesecake cube cost for example? Do you know?

Ah beverage, I forgot about that bit... I'd go with some good honey mead myself.

Speaking of mead, I've gotten several people from work hooked on Maxwell honey mead. Absolutely delicious, though I don't have any other meads to compare it to, except Fallentimber which what one of the worst things I've ever tasted.

Have you had that brand before?

Seems I missed this reply earlier, my bad!

Haven't tried neither Maxwell nor Fallentimber, though it seems it might be possible to import the first of the two, I'll give it a shot, good to know at least Fallentimber is nothing to look for...

Apart from Medovarus I don't remember any particular brand names in regard to mead though. I've tried some local Baltic alternations in Latvia and Lithuania, and here we have for example Odinsborg's (translates to Odin's Fort) mead, made the traditional way after a secret recipe from the 1800's - one of the world's oldest, which is pretty good!

I don't know any more common or international brands though. Would love to see how they compare.

I did a bunch of batch-cooking and I forgot to take photos except for this one. Burrito filling:

I also made meatballs, meatloaf, and pâté chinois.

And here's what I'm eating for breakfast now, since I'm trying to use diet to manage my stress levels:

No more coffee for me. Gotta eat beans, leafy greens, fish, peas, berries, nuts and whole grains wherever possible. I had a glass of milk with some whey protein mixed in, as well.

I actually had just the filling for dinner with some tomatoes and sour cream, since I didn't want to defrost my tortillas. It was pretty bomb.
