Sorry for crappy photo, only have a camera phone.
Roasted Wood Pigeon stuffed with herbs, Garlic and Lemon; served in a giant Yorkshire Pudding :-3
Meat was a little tough and the Yorkshire pudding was slightly overcooked but wasn't a bad attempt, considering I've never cooked Pigeon before.
The size of that yorkshire pudding
Thanks Hast and all the others posting pictures. I love looking at food.
Saddle of veal 2 ways today for lunch. 2nd one is stuffed with olives, capers, dates, 2 types of nuts and goats cheese. Both finished in oven at 80°. Washed down with a bottle of 2003 Palazzo Antinori Riserva. Celebrating my day off. Now having a little nap before watching some footy.
Also left over creme brulee for breakfast. Personally I prefer a single layer of sugar not a thick 2-3 layer coating.

WoT: Redglare[VPG]
So I decided to try the port reduction steak thing. Will be linking instead of imbedding as my new fangled digital camera made large files. Next time I'll remember to knock it down a few levels.
The Port I used.

The asparagus to be steamed. If they seem shorty that's because they are, I'm going to use the stems to make cream of asparagus soup.

Potatoes being potatoes. Quartered small red potatoes that is

Add port to pan.

I want to rub that shit all over my face, no fucking lie Tellenta. Well done man.
Next time I'm going to use probably a frying pan to increase surface area, and probably decrease time spent reducing.
Always use a frying pan when reducing. +rep if you also deglace it. om nom nom nomNext time I'm going to use probably a frying pan to increase surface area, and probably decrease time spent reducing.
Although I was a bit scared when I dumped a cup of calvados into a cup of sugar in a frying pan and started to smell the alcohol. Fucking glad I had no candles or open flames nearby at the time. :P
For my last bit of attack on what steak I had left over I decided to go the stew route. This is from the cook book "660 curries" Files are still huge but manageable, will switch to links if people hate life. Got one lower setting on the camera we'll see how those work.
The ammunition
let steak sit in a mixture of turmeric and cayenne pepper for 30 minutes or longer.
prep ze oil fun fact when a cinnamon stick gets hot it explodes open sometimes.
Add stuff and stir fry for a bit.... crap I should have foreseen this problem.
Better.
add liquids and rest of spices. Um, did I remember to buy some tomatoes to dice? Nope, shit what do what do..... Well this is from tomatoes right?
heat and let simmer for 1.5ish hours
Results will follow.

The end result.
"curried beef stew" served over jasmine rice.
edit: and future posts will come with images small enough, huzzah.
There's my dinner, nothing fancy, just beef ribs with peas and corn. But my god was it good.
Today I said fuck it.
Was actually pretty good.
Green tea / Nori poached trout with fennel mash.
Was looking for a mackarel for weeks now but had to go with a trout instead. Kind of failed with the dish as I was looking to achieve a bit of a smoky flavour by poaching. Also the chocolate fondant was in the oven slightly to long. Ah well.
I've just made a chocolate fondant myself. Its p easy. Looks like you had the temperature too low as its not got the edge. Next time I do it i'll post pics
@Frankie: Maybe I am misreading your post but I was looking for a bigger runny center. One minute less in the oven I guess.
Had a lentil soup with a yummy fried black pudding for lunch.
Tamarind Beef.
Moppalahs (also spelled Moplah, Mapilla, Mapilla) are the Muslim community in Kerala whose male ancestors, descendants of Arab traders, married the local women and settled there in the 7th century, well before the advent of Islam. They were very receptive to conversion and incorporated not only the Muslim dietary laws that prohibited the inclusion of pork but also kept the local fondness of coconut, curry leaves, shallots, and mustard seeds. This beef curry combines all those ingredients, tamarind and seasonal unripe mango. Serve it over rice noodle nests or the other northern Kerala favorite, flaky griddle cooked bread.
I went with rice because I have a shit load of rice.
Spoiler:
Yeah my cilantro looks like crap but I was doing 5 things at once while chopping.
I just think that imo a fondant should have a little crisp around the edges to give it a change in texture and that higher temperature would give you a better runny center while achieving that. Stop it looking like a muffin
Sorry for the crappy photo's ... iPhone lol.
Chocolate fondant with a raspberry coulis:
it's 8pm but I rarely get to eat breakfast
