Like many things, pears can be improved greatly by being covered in chocolate. After being poached. And only a coating of chocolate of course.

But that's just decadent.   0:)

Can I have a dollop of mascarpone with mine? Cheers!

Im bunten Erdentraum
Ein leiser Ton gezogen

Cous cous! What with?

I would top with some lamb braised in a sauce of honey, cinnamon, apricot and tomato topped with some flaked almonds. Simple!  :)

Just plain with some mild yellow curry. Lamb is not really available in the supermarkets here (which is basically the only way to buy meat in this Wal-Mart town).

Brünnhilde forever

Haven't been here for some time,  :(

Back with an invitation in my kitchen, just startin my Halibut dinner:

Brünnhilde forever

#2212
And that's the result:

Poached Halibut with steamed Fingerling potatoes, steamed fresh Asparagus with Greek Yogurt and browned parsley butter for the fish. - That's the black stuff on top of the fish, butter got away from me, a bit too brown, but nevertheless very good. - Dessert of fresh strawberries with Greek Honey Yogurt.  :)

Before the concert last night we tried a Japanese Yakitori bar, here's my review:

Being keen regulars at both Kura and Tanuki we thought it was time to finally try Tanuki's Cave. The most important point about Tanuki's Cave is that it's a bar that serves Yakitori style food, not a restaurant. You descend down a steep and dark staircase to enter into a compact bar area complete with neon signs and blaring rap/lounge music. It's very much a trendy place to congregate being mainly populated by cool twenty-something's meeting up with friends. Within half an hour of arriving there the place was full and new arrivals were given a ticket to wait for a spot at the bar to become free for service. We had miso soup and steamed rice basics along with a cabbage salad which was the most unattractive and unappealing dish I've seen in a 'restaurant' for some time; just roughly chopped raw cabbage with, what looked like, half a pot of mayonnaise dumped on the side. We tried a selection of the Yakitori style skewered meats (charcoal grilled and served on wooden skewers) including the pork, chicken livers, mushrooms stuffed with chicken mince and Kushiage style (deep fried in breadcrumbs) kumara almond ball. The three meats were all fairly nondescript with the stuffed mushrooms being the most interesting due to its moistness and more distinct seasoning. The kumara almond ball was dry and hard on the outside and stodgy and bland on the inside to the point where I only had three bites before giving up on it. The service was lightening fast which was good because we were running a little late for a show at the Town Hall. While I appreciate this was a bar scene, I found the loud music to be quite disorientating and distracting and I had to fight an urge to leave shortly after we arrived. I could see the regulars enjoying meeting and chatting while they drank Sapporo on tap and nibbling on skewered BBQ style meats. So overall a fairly underwhelming experience foodwise, but interesting nonetheless for a one-off experience.

Sounds downright awful*...  $:)
