    I bought America's Test Kitchen Perfect Cookie cookbook. I look at it to be happy. I have the ingredients for the first recipe in the book. Yay!

    I didn't know that quote but googled it.
    Best summer fruit. Nothing comes close. Maybe watermelon.

    I just had a very nice premium creamy yoghurt with muesli. The mix of tartiness from the yoghurt and the sweet from the honey muesli, mmmmmmm.

    I made this tonight (without the mash so I don't get any fatter). It's one of my favourite dishes.

    That sounds delicious....but if concerned about weight everything in that recipe is wrong for you.  Cooking cabbage in goose fat and frying breaded pork is going to make a fella bigger.

    I want to eat it, though.

    I never use goose fat.

    The Pork Schnitzel at The German Cafe where I live is outstanding. I found this picture on Zomato, but doesn't do it justice.

     ^ That is my second favorite German meal. My absolute favorite is Rouladen with the same sides. I crave this meal.

    So did anyone get any good food gear for Christmas??
    I sure did! 
    I got an ASOTV Yoshi Copper grill mat, a Cuisinart Elemental 8-Cup Food Processor, a Cuisinart Egg Central egg steamer, and a Squeezo Deluxe food mill/strainer for canning and applesauce/jelly making.  It's made entirely of cast metal parts and is the best on the market, I can't wait to put it to use!

    I made delicious Butternut Squash Mezze Penne pasta to take to Christmas dinner.  I made it vegan for the losers (only had to swap soy milk in and do Parmesan cheese on the side) and it had onions, peppers, garlic, spinach, and squash from my garden.
    I also took some fresh Christmas spinach from my cold frames, and nobody said a damn thing or cared.  They ate fucking bagged spinach because it was already dressed.
    I'm not taking garden food to her side anymore, on my side of the family/friends every single person would be excited to hear it was homegrown and would have said something and enjoyed it extra the way we do, but he family is a bunch of city folk fools who eat bagged spinach instead.

    That's good stuff. Food gear for me included can opener (don't ask), liquid measuring cups (don't ask again), some really cool oyster shuckers that were made from old rail road nails (sounds kinda odd but they are really cool and unique), also got a pressure canner and cook book on canning/preserving.

    Did a nice big pot of Cioppino for Christmas Eve.  This is maybe the 5th year I have done it and have adapted a few recipes over the years and landed on one this year that I feel is more or less my own.

    Yesterday we had a bone in rib roast which was fucking amazing.  Also a ham and some delicious sides. 

    I am fat today.
