    No pics. My phone was charging but did lamb burgers with tzatziki and grilled cauliflower. Not too shabby 
    I love tzatziki. Do you make it from scratch. If so, do you have a good recipe?

    Two each of eggs, bacon and pancakes, with roasted potatoes. One of my comfort meals (there are a LOT).

    And a non-food bowl, of course ;)

    I would think wurst wouldn’t pair well with curry, but that sounds interesting and looks yummy.

    Looks great. There used to be a restaurant down the street from me called Weschler’s Currywurst. I had always meant to try it. But it closed. I love the spice combo you posted. Now I wish I had gone there.

    I have to admit, the first time I saw it when we were in Berlin, my reaction was “eww.”  Then I tasted it and my world changed lol. I found a great recipe online.  It’s easy and takes about 20 minutes to prepare.  I use a weisswurst for mine and a Bavarian-style wiener for the husband.  Both are very mild in flavour and let the curry shine.  The fries are the best accompaniment so far.  I prefer them over potatoes or rice.

    The recipe if your interested:

    But of course!
    The diner we used to frequent would call that a 2x2x2.
    Always good

    Thank you for sharing this!!  I'm a huge wurst/sausage fan and I've never had the opportunity to try this combination that's become so popular in the lands of wurst.

    Are you in Europe?
    Tell us more about the wurst to be used and how we can procure the right kind.
    I'm guessing a weisswurst is a white sausage?

    My good buddy just sent this to me.  Lives nearby and we hang out a lot in non-Corona times.  This sucks. Pulled pork sandwiches, ribs and Romanian sausage. Might need to have him do a curbside pickup for me.

    Oh wow!

    I know our cabbage family friends are controversial.
    A load of them searing in stovetop before they move to a hot over.
    Got some onion jam brewing next door.

    Brussels sprouts are amazing, especially when seasoned properly.  A sushi place we (used to) go to has the best I’ve ever had. Not exactly sure what they season them with, but they’re damn good.

    Simple salt pepper.  I like to put onions and garlic on with, but my wife has reactions so o made the onion on the side to add.
    Want those fuckers burnt looking and wonderful tasting.

    I think they cook them with soy sauce. Not 100% sure of that. Once the world resumes and I can get there I’ll ask. But you’re right.  Something with the Japanese preparation is different in a real good way.

    Little soy is good with any cabbage. 
    The more important thing is just that there's some salt, which helps with the Mailard reaction, which is what really matters most!
    Anybody here ever have kohlrabi?
    It's amazing, water chestnut texture with full cabbage flavor.

    Oh yeah, that meat.
    Fuck me.  That's something else.
    I don't know Romanian sausage, but I sure wish I did.

    Made a salad that was sort of a downer.
    I made it just right (actually o didn't let my balsamic reduction cool long enough so that wasn't right) but it was minus fresh basil, which I can't seem to get, and the romaine and cherry toms are so weak right now compared to how they should be in a good month.
    Pecorino goes well with this mix, though.  

    Will make again in a month and will be 5x as good.

    Onion jam - yum. I bet that tastes good on a multitude of things.

    It’s all good. I haven’t had ribs in a while. Might have to be my next takeout order.
