Waiting on a local ranch raised Rib Eye to thaw. Then into an iron pan. Yam in oven baking. Meanwhile, enjoying slices of Spanish Chorizo on Pilot Bread with a glass of Portuguese Xisto Red wine. I have long been a fan of wines from Portugal. They do not get much exposure in the USA mostly going to the European market. Good value, excellent wines. It all started with Mateus Rose in the 1960s and the love affair never dwindled. That sounds awesome John. Just note, if I’m ever in your neck of the woods I’ll be looking you up for dinner! I’ll bring the wine. 😁👍 |

Enjoy your eats....ALL!

Waiting on a local ranch raised Rib Eye to thaw. Then into an iron pan. Yam in oven baking. Meanwhile, enjoying slices of Spanish Chorizo on Pilot Bread with a glass of Portuguese Xisto Red wine. I have long been a fan of wines from Portugal. They do not get much exposure in the USA mostly going to the European market. Good value, excellent wines. It all started with Mateus Rose in the 1960s and the love affair never dwindled. I've had some wine from Portugal, not much. I do like the wine from Spain. Specifically, from Navarre, Spain. I first bought it because my ancestors on my mothers side came from there in ~1599 - when it was part of France. Liked it, so kept buying it. There are a lot of great wines from places most people would not expect great wine to come from, like Africa, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, ..... In general, I place Italian wines at the top of the list - but great wine can come from anywhere. I miss buying local beef. It's much better than store bought - usually. But the last time I bought a side of beef, the processor switched my beef with something else. Don't know what was wrong with it, but it made me gag when I cooked it, and it was very fatty. My neighbors loved the quarter of the same (supposedly) animal. Wasn't fatty at all. I traded them some beef and we both agreed mine sucked and theirs was excellent. Our beef didn't come from the same animal as theirs but we bought sections of the same animal from a farmer friend of mine. It's one of the biggest mistakes I ever made - not paying the state to do DNA testing to prove my beef and the neighbor's beef were not the same - and bringing charges against the processor. Ended up throwing a side of beef in the trash. Never bought a cow or pig again. The world of wine is fun to explore. I have so enjoyed the wines of Italy. My current budget limits to me to Sicily, Puglia, Calabria. That is OK with me. Ditto Spain and Portugal. Probably the best values. France deserved all the credit heaped upon them. I recall stunning Burgundies and Premier Gran Bordeaux's from my salad days. The Rhones and southerns are often magnificent. I used to enjoy Hungarian wines but they have become harder to find. One of my favorites in the 1970s was from Algeria. It, too, is unobtainable. Sidi Barhim. The subject of a song by John Renborn of "Pentangle". I belong to club that offers obscure and affordable California wines. Often too expensive but the ones from the premier counties are excellent. |

That looks truly Gutes Essen. That is one thing I miss about California. It used to be chock-a-block with outstanding German Restaurants from one end of the state to the other. Many of them faded away with the health craze of the '80s but some remain. I know the place you visited but cannot remember the name. When I worked in the financial district of San Francisco in the early 1980s, every day we ate lunch at "Schroeder's Restaurant". Big place, a real Hall with murals of old German life painted on the walls. I mean every day. Impossible to go anywhere else. The Maitre D knew us and we mostly had the same table. As a youth, I ate there with my father. The waiters all looked and sounded like ex-Wehrmacht and probably were. By the 1980s, the staff still had to speak German but were clearly civilians. LOL! I took my German friends there in the 1980s and they were astounded that such a corny old place still existed. It as like a movie set from the 1940s. |

“ Our beef didn't come from the same animal as theirs but we bought sections of the same animal from a farmer friend of mine.”
I have heard the same thing about a certain processor that a lot of people use for the game they bag here.
I wonder how some people can look in the mirror.

“ . I know the place you visited but cannot remember the name. ”
Haus Murphy’s is the place that we ate at.
John, you got to SF far ahead of me, I never heard of Schroeder’s but with so many fantastic restaurants when I was there, I had so many “favorites”.
The house of Prime Rib is still going strong serving prime dry aged beef.
They are on the short list if I find myself there.

Cooking up a pot of Mexican grown Peruvian Mayacoba Beans to go with my Green Chile.
I know these are authentic because of the three dried roaches I had to pick out while rinsing. I should have saved them for anyone's pet snake of lizard.

Had a craving for Buffalo Wild Wings.
Got a take out order of wings, some with parmesan-garlic sauce, some with teriyaki sauce - and fries.

Another of the neighbor's beeve ribeye. Sweet potato and Brussels Sprouts with carrot.
One tough steak but tasty. that is what grass fed beef is about. It takes grain to make the marbling for a tender steak. I used to grain mine for three to four weeks. One was grained for seven weeks because I was away. He was a tasty and tender boy.

Missal curry it’s a new one for me from the frozen section at Trader Joe’s. It’s really good. Spicy but not to spicy just enough heat.

Nothing special tonight, and last night was a pretty traditional Thanksgiving-style dinner. Friday night, however, I wanted to do something seasonal, but not the go-to turkey and stuffing situation. So here it is... Grilled pork tenderloin, with a cranberry-balsamic reduction with onions and rosemary. Sweet potato risotto, and roasted brussells sprouts with bacon, toasted pecans, and dried cranberries, with an aged balsamic drizzle.     Looks very good! |
