My dinner is actually better than yours

[xSauronx]

no pics, but i had seared tuna with a spicy plum sauce, sous-vide salmon, white wine and butter poached scallops and potatoes au gratin with 2 aged cheddars

so maybe op, and maybe not.

howard wins! we had salad for dinner because we ate so damn much at the indian buffet for lunch, neither one of us could handle the thought of dinner. though admittedly, the pics look a lot taster this morning than last night when the thought of food caused curry flavored burps to come forth.

By aged cheddars, do you mean "This cheese is past the expiration date, so we better use it up!"?

love ciabatta bread but youre supposed to dip it in olive oil and balsamic vinegar not cover it with butter, thats why it has holes

Nobody said it was covered it butter. It was on the side for anybody wanting it. I did have some Lucini EVOO and balsamic as well.

Thanks for telling me how to eat though.

The meat doesn't look cooked to my taste! Everying else looks pretty good esp. the bread if it is bread.

I would gladly eat a big heaping pile of that meat.

That said, I had some fvcking awesome Prime Rib on the 7th.

what camera is that?

An EOS something or other. 5D, perhaps?

Looked good.Like my beef medium rare,been eating it that way ever since I moved out of my parent's house and learned better.My parents always overcooked beef and I grew up eating it that way.When I was 19 I moved out bought a grill and smoker and taught myself how to cook.I learned early on medium rare and no sauce on a choice steak was my taste.

I hate it when people in a restaurant order a filet "well done". They might as well be eating a burger.

That looks amazing!

The only thing about that meal that didn't look fantastic to me was the boiled carrots. I have never been a fan of cooked carrots, except when used as a flavour base in sauces or stews. The rest of the meal looks incredible.

Did it start howling when you cut it?

I have to have no pink otherwise I start feeling sick...

I win. I took the pic, yes.

Too much color saturation. Other than that, nice pic, bro! :thumbsup:

The last good dinner I made was a ham, broccoli and cheese quiche.
Not quite as posh as you guys', but I think it's still a contender.

That's right bitches, a paper plate.

we eat well, my friends and i

we went on vacation after christmas last year and cooked every meal. we had some amazing food but i dont want to threadjack. duck, beef, lamb, seafood, souffles, blah blah.

The carrots were cooked sous vide and then glazed in a pan. The bite and the intensity of flavor were dead on.

Actually, the bread took top honors, followed by the carrots and then the beef. =\

we did some with brown sugar or something a few months ago, i dont generally like carrots on their own, either (though in a veg medley or stir fry, maybe), but they were pretty tasty

the sauce may have also had cognac in it, cant remember

 

[ElFenix]

looks tasty

Smoked whole chicken for me and the family tonight. Using applewood for the smoke and a mix of kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika on the chicken.
