    You guys up north celebrate TG soon, no?

    Chili. The final product.
    Wife likes her's over rice. So, after about 9 hours of simmering yesterday, 3 or 4 more today.

    I finally bought a new crock-pot a couple weeks ago. So the other night I grabbed a big ole chuck roast, aome potatoes and a red onion. Threw it all in the pot with some seasonin and let 'er rip overnight. I bought a couple parsnips to add too but forgot about them. Was tasty and I'm still eating leftovers. Yumm.

    That's a good looking menu. I didn't see anything I wouldn't try!

    All in on lemon chicken marsala!

    Cheap Marsala wine from Kroger. Didn't have enough time to hit the liquor store. And, a bunch of shallots.

    We're supposed to cool off to 40s overnight by end of week. I'm sure it'll feel good, initially, then I'll be whining for hot weather.

    Fortified wine, left. Fortified chef, right.

    Browning the chicken.

    Reducing the sauce.

    Hmm. Probably would have worked better with more sauce or less chicken. After babysitting the world's most spoiled dog all day, I'm starving, so the "less chicken" option is off the table.

    Our patient. She's got a herniated disk, so the vet has prescribed rest and spoiling. The latter turns out to be much easier than the former.

    My dog is outside most of the day, his choice. He has a water dish out there. This morning the dish was frozen...……… I plan on getting an early dinner today. Thinking tuna and salmon sashimi with chopped scallop rolls.

    Our average first frost here is mid November.

    Leftover shallots, garlic and lemon juice from last night. Added some marsala. Slowly reduced it. Was pretty good once the shallots reduced enough so they were not bitter.

    Salmon burgers.

    Salmon burgers with jalapeño cream cheese and the above sauce. We used the fancy Kroger white bread!

    I know, the London theme is likely getting tiresome already...but THIS dinner was high on the list. Surprised it took me almost a week to get to it (although I went to Burgundy for 3 days, delaying getting my fish and chips on).

    The Guinness was awesome. I’ve had one three days in a row. After not drinking a beer in literally months.

    yup, surprisingly I really like mushy peas (with a bit of pepper on them).

    One step ahead of you...we have had Indian literally everyday this week. Including Pakastani take-out yesterday and leftovers for lunch a few minutes ago. I'll look for any pics...nope, can't find any as I didn't deem the takeaway picture-worthy. I do have a few pics from dinner a couple of nights ago: first pic is a smothered samosa chaat with various chutneys, then some saag paaner and chicken tikka and some naan.

    I mostly post food we cook, only rarely posting meals at restaurants or the like. But I'm excited to post the meal we had at a Wedding I went to in Burgundy last weekend. A couple that I've known for years finally got hitched - and they have too much style and class - not to have staged a monumental one. It was at a privately rented Chateau in Burgundy with about 90 guests (the Chateau slept over 30 of us in various rooms throughout). Amazing place, amazing people and a great caterer. It was a multi-day affair, but the main post-wedding ceremony meal was worth sharing. It started with canapes and champagne around 6pm. The desserts were served at about 2am. It was a long, tasty, heavily wine-influenced celebration for those 8 hours!

    Here is the menu and pics of some of the courses (sadly I forgot to take a pic of the scallop dish). And I added a pic here of the cheese boards that were placed every few meters along the long banquet tables. This one was placed in front of me,which combined with my total lack of control, resulted in my having 4 plates of these amazing french cheeses. Thankfully there was no traditional silly wedding cake nor any serious dessert...rather only this tower of macaroons and puff pastry balls to snack on during the dancing that began after 2am.

    My room was above the catering kitchen and on my way to bed I saw a dead solder resting ground (of empty wine bottles) that easily numbered into the hundreds. I asked the lady pouring champagne from magnums at 2:30am on the dance floor how many she had poured that night, iirc she said over 50...mags! And there were well more than that of white and red burgundies that we had with the meal. Yikes....Great weekend!

    Last Rays of Summer - not pictured, a scallop dish that was too tasty to wait for a pic

    Strolling Through the Forest - perfectly cooked beef with lots of tasty elements to the dish.

    An Eclectic Gathering - 4 very good french cheeses. I'm a huge, huge fan of epoisse (12-1pm on the clock dial in the pick) and this was an excellent, ripe example.

    A Glutinous Gathering - would have been a better name after I realized they left this whole cheese tray in front of me and nobody else wanted any more. Ugh...I went full fat-guy-with-death-wish on this tray. I was concerned that I had dis-proven a golden rule of physics - that there is no such thing as too much good cheese.

    Sweet Treats - most of us were literally dreading having to sit through (let alone eat) dessert by 2am. Luckily for us, the hosts were a step ahead and simply said, let's go the dance room, where desserts and champagne await. I pinched a couple of these off of the 1.5 meter-tall dessert mountain and put in a napkin to bring back to Ania (Macaroons are her favorite - and I earned some big points upon my return to London).
