Weekend Evaluation: Greatest of All Time (aka Stop Saying 'Low and Slow')

We went out for lunch on Saturday (Red Hook Lobster Pound....this was fine), and dinner on Sunday (Paulie Gee's - always good - my favorite crust texture).  So not a lot going on here in terms of volume. 

Finally tackled the goat shoulder in the freezer. Next up: rabbit, and another ham.

Gretchen decided goat is gross- although she pretty much eats anything else; which to me makes no sense.  First of all, I'm pretty sure she's had it when I've gotten it out - and I mean what's the difference really. 

In fact goat is the world's most consumed meat. Plus, it tastes pretty much like lamb or mutton - and she likes lamb in general.

So I had to come up with some way to break it into portions so I could handle eating it; but I still wanted to roast some of it.  It did take forever to cook; but that's my fault.

Last regular CSA of the year this week - on to all root vegetables all of the time.

Weekend Wrap-Up (May 8-9)

This past weekend was a non-project weekend, but that doesn't mean that Tom wasn't busy in the kitchen. I'm a 'late' sleeper on weekends (until 9 am) but Tom is up at the crack of dawn- sometimes before. When I wake up, Tom's already gone running, been to the farmers market and the grocery store, baked a loaf of bread, ground some meat, and made us breakfast. I'm not exaggerating, its pretty unbelievable how productive he is while I'm still sleeping. This works out for both of us- I'm not in his way while he's doing all this, and I don't have to hear the inevitable swearing or freak outs. If you've never heard someone yell 'F*** you!' to a fridge, come on over Saturday morning around 6 am. You won't be disappointed.

This weekend, we went to a Mets game, Tom had a basketball game, and we rode our bikes. But here's what he still managed to make on a non-project weekend...
