You can add cream, but IMHO it makes the flavor too rich. This dish takes you to flavor town with the seafood cooked with the white wine based broth, spices, way too much Russian Purple garlic served on genuine Italian made pasta..... :smoke:

I'm bloated.. again. Rarely these days, but..

Reverse-seared choice bone-in rib roast, medium rare, whole wheat linguini with a homemade 4-cheese sauce with sharp cheddar, Gouda, goat cheese, parmesan, tumeric, yellow mustard powder, black pepper, touch of sea salt, beef base, and a bit of 40% heavy whipping cream. Same cheese sauce over steamed organic broccoli, and...

Homemade keto cheesecake with frozen organic giant blueberries. About half blueberries and half New York cheese cake filling, with the frozen blueberries allowed to thaw, then the juices from the berries rendered and thickened with a bit of corn starch. A touch of maple syrup added to the cheese cake filling.

The crust under the cheese cake made of ground almonds and ground walnuts added to cocoonut flour and a fair bit of butter, with a bit of Stevia added.

MAAAAN!! The best cheesecake I've had in years, and keto, but for the moderate carbs in the organic domestic blueberries.

Topped with 40% heavy whipping cream with a drizzle of organic Canadian maple syrup added when it was almost whipped.

Christmas may be dangerous this year.

The 'choice' rated roasts were on sale for $5.97/lb. and the angus 'choice' in the butcher's case were on sale for $6.97/lb. But those prices were the regular club card sale price, plus an additional discount for using a digital coupon.

Fred Meyer Grocery (actually more of a department store) which is a Kroger store, tends to run a sale like that each year. This year's sale went for 2 weeks; still on.

Regular price was outrageous. And it wasn't the most tender 'choice' rated roast I've had, but it wasn't too bad, and it was tasty. Often times their 'choice' are nearly as tender as their 'prime.'

jeez.i saw choice at costco for about $13 a pound and i think $24 a pound for prime.like $400 for a good size one.
Costco offers some decent deals on some things. Meat typically isn't one of them.

I used to buy case-lots of cryo-packed beef and other stuff from them after we quit buying a whole angus each year from a farmer in Delta Jct., Alaska years ago, and with a discount for case purchases, back then it was pretty decent pricing at times, and often better meat.

These days, prices being what they are now, and our being primarily on a diet involving less red meat, while also bargain hunting, while they do have good meat there, the most I typically buy from them any more, includes occasional wild-caught sea scallops, sometimes some N. Pacific cod or rock fish, chicken of various sorts, bone-in pork loin chops, and boneless country style pork ribs (which, as you're likely aware, aren't actually ribs at all, but rather thick strips of meat, tpically cut from pork butt roast (upper hind quarter)..

made an experimental "pecan" pie today. started with the Karo syrup recipe, but was out of Karo...damn. so, used maple syrup instead. 1/2 cup Ideal sugar sub & 1/2 cup brown sugar instead of the processed white crap. chopped up 1/2 cup pecans, and added 1/2 cup honey roast peanuts chopped a bit. mix in a couple of eggs, some melted butter, tsp vanilla, salt etc and beat savagely, fling into oven at 350 for 35 minutes, i think. gonna be hard to not try it tomorrow, just in case. i'd hate to serve a pie that wasn't up to snuff...:whistling::yummy: went ahead and baked my carrot cake tonight as well. gonna let it cool off well so it won't fall apart when i go to put my icing on it... :good: tomorrow ? the deviled eggs. :dance013:

Spanish cheese: Gran Reserva Iberico. Made from a blend of cow, sheep and goat milks. Pretty tasty. The sheep's milk and goat's milk flavors are noted, and the texture and flavor have some essence of asiago cheese, but not quite as subtly sharp. Good stuff.

Red, ripe watermelon from Mexico. One of the better melons I've had this winter.

2 U15 (13-15 count) wild-caught Patagonia shrimp, sauteed in butter in a cast iron skillet, California garlic powder, black pepper, and finished under a lid to retain heat.

2 squares (1/2 to 2/3 serving) of 85% dark chocolate.

Steamed (large) brussels sprouts, cooked to perfection. Tastiest I've had in a while.

A sliver of the keto blueberry cheese cake from the other day.

Seltzer water (tangerine), a tequila and pommegranate juice beverage, and a Guinness Extra Stout.

Dry roasted almonds with sea salt.

And something else to stew, for the first time ordered Pata Negra cheeks.

Wenn the time come you will see the Dishes. ;)
Don't forget the "what are you eating right now" thread...more regulars over there and more people. They'd love to see your food. Looks very good! 👍

Homemade whole wheat baggette bread with Spanish Gran Reserva Iberico Cheese, some of the leftover whole wheat linguini pasta with a decent pine-nut pesto, parmesan cheese and olive oil. Garlic and jalapeno stuffed gigantic green olives. and a bit of Mexican-produced red ripe winter watermelon.

Older son's bringing out some whole milk for us to make the cheese sauce for the veggies, U15 wild caught sea scallops and 13-15 ct. wild caught Patagonia shrimp for tomorrow's bon fire Christmas feast.

May or may not impose on him further, and ask him to bring out a bottle of decent but inexpensive champagne tomrrow, too. Toasting yet another year of existence, cruising at a smooth coast across the proverbial finish line once again... Inertia has its place.

There's many with a whole lot less.
