Wild salmon, oven-baked in foil, with lots of lemon and mushrooms, some chives, ginger and sage, and potatoes roasted at the same time.    A blueberry muffin for dessert.

Sounds good. I'm especially fond of the fish and ginger combination.

Tonight Mrs. Rock invented a "Mexican" dish: chicken in a tomato/jalapeno sauce. Served with baked pumpkin (with sea salt and garlic) and corn on the cob. Drank a chilled rosé (merlot and syrah) from the French producer Domaine Lalande (Languedoc-Roussillon).

Do you live in a taco or burrito city?

And your life would be better in one of these places:

Restaurant per capita: americans are small time players:

Bordeaux: 1/285
Lyon: 1/295
Paris: 1/404

Now you know what is the main motivation to come to France !

That seems a dubious criterion...Las Cruces, Los Angeles, and the TX Rio Grande valley would probably top any serious effort to produce such a ranking...

Oooh! One of my favorite things to do is to look at pictures of terrible, terrible European versions of Mexican food.

There are three. Árbol is a fast food place, Fresh Burritos Bordeaux is too, and Saveur Latine is a little nicer. Let's look at pictures!

Árbol puts guac on all its tacos, and also a lot of grease.

Fresh Burritos Bordeaux looks okay but I don't understand this potato side dish.

Saveur Latine is clearly the worst one, they put giant sticks on their tacos and serve platters of weird burned shit and pita quesadillas served on salad.

Just made some fig jam with honey & cardamon & lemon.  The cardamon comes from my last trip to Cochin (India) and was freshly ground using spinning spineur special grinder.

I had to adjust the sugar and the cardamon while cooking.  Taste is super !

Earlier this month, I did the more exotic Rhubarb&Banana and lemon.  Nice too.

To have the right consistency, I add some agar-agar for additional pectin which makes the natural gel with the sugar.

Peanut butter-filled M&Ms.  But it's not an addiction.  I can quit any time I want. 


I just don't want to.

I could have posted that. The large box (365g) - doesn't last a day. 🐷

I have a question. Does any of this fare in the top rated restaurants in Britain remotely resemble food or something you would actually want to eat?
Haute cuisine just gets weirder and weirder.

Well it's not peanut butter M&Ms if that's what you're thinking.  <avoiding eye contact>

It's mussel season! Last night we had linguine and mussels in a cream sauce with dried tomatoes, chili peppers and parsley. We drank a 2016 Weissburgunder (pinot blanc) Spätlese trocken from the Westhofener vintner Hirsch-Stabel.

We had fried Atlantic Wolffish marinated in sambal oelek, garlic, ginger and lime juice. Served with baked pumpkin and potatoes with fresh rosemary, green beans. Drank champagne.
