A lackluster meal for a lackluster day.

I thought the Dutch would take the cup as well, was rooting for them.
 
Tonight I made a rack of buffalo spareribs, very tasty but forgot to take a picture. I marinated them in red wine, with a touch of balsamic and Worcestershire, sprinkled with Montreal seasoning then baked them off slowly in a batch of customized barbecue sauce that was absorbed completely into the meat.

Get two beef shanks (pretty cheap—they’re not a trendy cut), bone them,
trim off as much connective tissue as possible,cut the meat into bite size chunks,
plop it into a pot, add a whole garlic (chopped up), about three tablespoons of coarsely ground pepper, one tablespoon of salt,
a bottle of good chianti,put it into the oven at low-to-medium temperature (about 225°F)
and don’t take it out until the next morning.

Eat it while drinking a bottle of the same wine the meat cooked in.

It’s transporting...

Vegan ?

It's a minimalist Peposo,originating from Florence.

Really,it was quite delectable and I will enjoy preparing it on another cold winter day in the near future.

I like the reduction of a whole bottle of good wine with simple ingredients,so the photo isn't pretty.

yes, these things don't always look pretty, but can be very tasteful
 
I like my slow cooking (beef) stew with guiness on winter days

Sunday morning sometimes calls for a salt & pepper T-Bone steak,an egg and home fried potatoes with seasoned salt,cooked in pork fat.

Firing squad meal completed with a good biscuit and a beer...

 

[Proglover]

fine meal
 
I think you have a photocamera like mine; the colors don't look good (Sony here)

Heh heh,I just picked up a Leica D-Lux 5.

I was lazy,not setting it up properly out of the box,too busy cooking!

If this is what it does on unknown settings straight up,I will look for better color saturation as I work through all the adjustments.

Auto-Focus,Macro,lens at 3:2,no flash.

Not using it much until I get the ACMAXX Hard LCD Protector,JJC Auto Lens Cap and Artisan & Artist Black Half-Case.

I really like it so far,miles ahead of a cellphone cam and of course a new date break-in is required!

 

[Proglover]

ah, ok, sorry
 
anyway, I'm sure that steak was nice and juicy
 
going to make some nice Indian curries today

T-bone is my favorite steak if dry-aged nicely. Cooking meat with bone + getting the bone marrow is great.

Uhm, everything needs hot sauce.

Uhm, no. No it doesn't.
 
Why would anyone ruin a perfectly good meal like that?

 

[Argyris]

A good steak, well prepared, needs no sauce. Sauce would be an insult to a fine Delmonico or fillet. And don't get me wrong; I am a connoisseur of hot sauce. I've got sauces based on habanero, datil, chipolte, jalapeno, and boring old cayenne--the side of my refrigerator is stacked full of hot sauce.
 
But none of it comes anywhere near my steaks.
