I picked up a couple of recipes from one of my butchers yesterday. I’ll try them and pass them on (with his permission) if they work for me. I always love a great stew recipe and haven’t anything but a basic rub recipe that’s in my brain. I can’t even find the smoked paprika recipe I made six months ago and have been using all this time!
No cookbooks. I’m starting to buy a couple of magazines from local newsstands but I’ve also bought Eric Ripert’s “On The Line” which has very small print. I’m 2/3 of the way through “Save the Deli” by David Sax. I enjoy the way he writes but end up craving a hot pastrami sandwich on rye with brown spicy mustard, a latke, and a bowl of matzo ball soup, and I can’t get them. And the only place he lists out here in this, can I say godforsaken, place is glatt kosher in someone’s living room. We’re in serious Mormon territory, but not so serious up here on the mountain. This may involve a visit to the gorgeous new Temple. Architecture, pastrami, get my drift. Hey, we need a serious deli up here!!!
Last night I made great burgers with 85/15 grass fed beef, melted Vermont sharp cheddar and arugula. Plus quartered cluster tomatoes and a few organic fries. This morning I smell onion in the frig. It’s sitting next to a red pepper that doesn’t have much more life in it. Plus grated cheese from last night. I’m thinking Dee’s version of a Denver Omelet/Frittata this morning before tackling the DMV and bathroom cleaning! You have a great day! Cheers, Dee
