Very nice indeed. The steak is a bit overcooked for me, but overall I would it it :) best use of JW Blue I have seen, much better than having to drink it... :D

I agree. If I was going to be eating it, I would've preferred more on the mid-rare side. But that was for a party at the restaurant. Guest wanted it medium-midwell. Gah.
 
Last night I decided to make braised beef short ribs, Keller's mashed potatoes with garlic confit and grilled raddicho. Unfortunately the beef short ribs didn't turn out the way I wanted them to so I won't bother posting pictures and this was my first time dealing with raddicho, which was so bitter I threw it out. What did turn out to be an absolutely amazing dish was Thomas Keller's mashed potatoes with garlic confit. I very slowly over low heat cooked the garlic cloves and then using my food mill, mashed the potatoes with butter and garlic confit. I warmed up some heavy cream and slowly incorporated that until I had reached the desired consistency, add salt and pepper and they were the best mashed I had ever had.





I know presentation is not my best but the wifey and I were so hungry we started digging into the taters and then I realized, shoot I need to take a picture!

Great job, folks!

Everything looks so good, I'm going to add some photos after my vacation.
 
Chaz, is that a seaweed salad (first pic)? If so, what's in it?
 
Seaweed salad, tuna, scalions, a little siracha, sesame seeds, tuna sashimi cut to look like a rose (I cut the slices too thick).
 
Sounds (and looks) good to me!
 
My wife made something special today. It's called Bun Bo Hue, Central Vietnam's spicy beef noodle soup, with pork trotters.
It's got sliced bottom round, sliced beef shank meat, pork trotters, rice vermicelli in a spicy broth with a whole bunch of chiles, lemon grass and spices.

Theres some kale under the lamb and the sauce is a simple lamb jus. The lamb was ordered mid rare closer to the rare side, so I made it how I would have eaten it. :p

Super busy night tonight. In the lamb picture, all those containers were once full.
 
Bun Bo Hue! When I worked with some Vietnamese and Malaysian dudes, they used to bet each other bowls of Bun Bo Hue for sporting events.
