Beef jerky is awesome!  But only now do I understand that the British are not alone in craving food that would make the rest of the world puke! ;D *goes back to eating pork rinds* ;D ;D

I just tried beef jerky for the first time.

NEVER AGAIN

Hey, when you're on the trail, three hours from the bunkhouse, there's nothing like it  ;D

Actually, spam was a fixture of my childhood (with a father making a middlin' income and a mother with eight mouths to feed). We had spam often for dinner. That's probably why I haven't eaten it in 40 years  :D

Earlier tonight, I had chicken cordon bleu. Delicious.

;__: I was under the assumption that it was some delicious guilty treat like pork scratchings, but it's sort of like leather that has been soaked in blood. Kind of like black pudding but with no moisure and an inedible texture...

Don't know what you've had, but it principle it's not unlike other dried beef products. Not exactly Bresaloa, granted (that's more like chipped beef, a.k.a. "Shit On a Shingle"), but like dried kudu meat and other varieties of biltong. What's important to remember is that not all beef jerkey was created equal.

Agree w/Jens - I've sampled different ones over the years and they do vary in quality, taste, and spiciness - had some good beef jerky in Texas years back, but not part of my usual diet -  ;) ;D

A simple dinner tonight (peas and onions, rice, pangasius filets) but made special by Mrs. Rock's delicious sauce: saffron, fish stock, white wine, cream, salt and pepper. We drank Champagne.

With a sauce like that, I could be tempted to eat Pangasius again. (Otherwise, or all too often, though: what a nasty little big fish Pangasius can be. Vaguely devoid of taste, except for a subtle nose of mold.)

It is a mild tasting fish--which makes it ideal for a saffron sauce. I've not experienced any unpleasant odors. Pangasius is extensively farmed. The source, I imagine, has much to do with the quality...and the level of stench?  ;D  Perhaps we've been lucky.

That looks good enough to eat   ;)

I'm making chicken piccata tonight.

A farewell/tribute to my favorite place to eat in all London.

For my birthday dinner tonight, my parents and I had grilled lamb chops, grilled asparagus, and a classic southern Illinois brew: Saluki Dunkeldog. You'd best not ask about the cake afterwards (which I baked myself with a bit of help)... but it involved German chocolate, toffee chunks, and butterscotch icing. :)

Hey, Brian, your link doesn't work.

Ref your birthday dinner: sounds great. Saluki Dunkel Dog? Love it  ;D  I was in the mood for lamb myself when I first read your post. I'd planned to attend a wine fest in Deidesheim where one of the vintners charcoal grills rack of lamb and beef filet every year. Unfortunately the same problem that prevented me attending the Gothic concert reared its ugly head again and kept me home. Oh well, perhaps next week I'll grill lamb myself.

Thread duty: tonight we had wild salmon with Mrs. Rock's outstanding tomato and nectarine salsa, basmati rice with herbs, and a colorful melange of leeks, bell peppers and carrots. We drank a magnificent pinot noir from Knipser (one of Germany's finest wine makers), a grosses Gewächs (grand cru).

Looks yummy! 

BTW, who's Sandra? 

Let me offer a belated welcome to you, Sandra.  Anyone who brings desserts like that is welcome anytime!  8)

Beef soup, of my own creation. Pumpkin-based, with white wine and chicken-broth, cinnamon and sugar.
Nourishing as the dickens.

Sounds good. Coincidentally we had pumpkin too this evening: we charcoal-grilled a chicken and added potatoes, onions and pumpkin to the dish. The pan drippings were delicious (the sweet pumpkin combining with the chicken juices).

Susan (i.e. Harpo) & I have just returned from a short vacation to Nantucket (a small but beautiful island east of Martha's Vineyard, both part of the state of Massachusetts) - our first visit there and a STRONG recommendation if you are in the area of Boston and have some extra time.

Well eating!  For us, our interest are fresh Oysters & Lobsters - we had plenty of each - love raw oysters on the half shelf; as to the lobsters plenty of options - first night we had plain steamed 2 pounders at our hotel - second night at another restaurant which advertised 'Lobster Night 4 Ways'!  Hmmm - well started w/ Lobster bisque w/ a lot of pieces of fresh lobster, then followed by a salad w/ a lobster cake, followed by a 'split' of a 4 pound lobster (included half of a tail + a claw) of a roasted lobster w/ 2 different sauces.  For lunch, we had 3 days of Lobster Rolls - plus Susan on our last night had another lobster main course while I had a fresh caught swordfish!

Did not take any pics of our meals but below will give you some ideas - :)
