Greek salad from Trader Joe's, pumped up a notch.
pear waffle fail
Made with the syrup in a tin of pears and with honey instead of sugar. They're not good. Too floppy. Too soft. In my opinion waffles should be crispy and that is not possible doing them this way. They taste fine but the texture is terrible.
Fail.
This failure is what happens when you abjure commercial mixes and recipes as I do. It's how we cook-types learn by discovering what to avoid. Pears -- fine, syrup from tins -- not fine. Syrup goes on top of the waffle, not in it.
cubed Yukon potato fried in duck fat, cheddar cheese, beef gravy, che
The cubed potato is boiled first.
The duck fat comes from two ducks cooked earlier, its fat rendered and frozen. All the fat used to fry the potato is consumed.
The cheddar cheese is the best I've ever tasted.
Gravy made from seasoned roux and commercial beef stock. It has cumin, mushroom powder, and rosemary.
This is dinner. And I'm perfectly satisfied
gyros salad, avocado, apple, cheddar
And cucumber and scallion. Olive oil, rice vinegar dressing.
Doesn't this look delicious? Well, it is!
Tony's offered these small packages of gyros that I've not seen before. They make it themselves right there. Frozen. I nearly passed them up, but I selected the package with the thinnest slices and I cannot keep off of them. I've been nibbling them one by one like a rat, and it's the best that I've tasted. It's my new favorite thing.
