Bacon egg and cheese

I got up early and wanted to experiment with my biscuit recipe. I added cake flour and a little extra baking powder to see if I could get them lighter. They were, but they were crumbly. I need to work on that next. I made some pepper bacon, fried an egg, and loaded it up with shredded sharp cheddar. It was HORRIBLE. I had to spit it out. The bacon was bad. I cooked the egg in the bacon drippings and it was bad. I was quite dissapointed. Not everything turns out like you would like....

Mary Mahoney's gumbo

James Billingsley picked up some Mary Mahoney's gumbo while he was on the coast visiting his family. He was kind enough to share. I made some white rice and heated up some crusty bread. It was good. Mimi was jealous.

Seafood pasta

Heather ran out of fettuccine so she used gemelli. It was quite tasty. I suggested she make it this way from now on.

Osso Bucco

This was the last of the supply. With Tony's closed, we will have to seek a different source. Suggestions?

Roasted Venison with chipotle sweet potatoes and wilted spinach

I used this recipe for the venison: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Pan-Seared-Venison-with-Rosemary-and-Dried-Cherries-104558

It was nice. I don't like sweet sauces for meat that much, but this was more tang and sweet.

I made a slightly modified version of the sweet potatoes by using jarred chipotle powder, and the results were not as good, but acceptable. I sauteed red onion and roasted garlic in olive oil until the onion was soft. Then I put a whole bag of spinach in, covered, and walked away. I topped it with a little boursin I had in the fridge. It might have been the highlight of the meal, except the Vina Borgia was nice and spicy.

Killing Germans

I was a little obsessed about finishing "Medal of Honor - World at War". The last few battles are intense. It required much concentration.

"It is Saturday at 1 and we haven't eaten yet" lunch

I made some frozen burritos. They weren't quite doing the job so I poured some rotel cheese dip over them. Cheap, easy, decent. Good Saturday lunch.
