gogoblender 3,070 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Easter Dinner with the Family! There was some delicious melt in your mouth curried duck... a first time for me... love when i can get a piece of tender meat in my mouth, but having to go through all that fat and stuff... not sure its my fave thing... at least the stew style my uncle made it ...though full point for his constant cooking bravery he loves trying new meats out... and check out my aunts delicious Brinjol, as we call it, or eggplant... this is a hard, long, tediously tiring dish to make...but when you get it right ... assorted other curries followed, but the best time is just getting to hang with my cousins, some new GF, my aunts and uncles...all about that vibe Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 I've been on a cullinary discovery journey last few months... and have and am going down the rabbit hole aged cheders. Strange right. Bless the alcohol selling sweet girl at the counter a few months ago whom after I asked what goes good with this pinot noir she promptly responded... Balderson 2 years..i bought it and the entire family was thrilled. Onwards.. to... three years... 14 bux ?? lol thats the most ive paid for cheese in my life. Worth it ? You betcha... the stuff makes you shiver, what a deep flavor... this is not baby food...specially at these prices anyway... lets see how long this *good stuff* lasts Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 My Auntie Deepthie and Uncle Roshan are having birthdays with just one day in between... so Uncle just grilled up this platter... whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... some people just keep getting food right gogo Link to comment
chattius 2,526 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 We have wild hop around. It is season for hop shoots/sprouts. They can be used like asparagus. It was a cheap food for hop farmers. Too many hop shoots on a plant resulted in many but weak twigs. So only three were left on a plant. The shoots made a nice food. Today with cooling and faster transport hop shoots made it to noble restaurants and are really expensive. My wife will do trout with sprouts. Trout from rivelet, sprouts from wild hop near house. https://www.gone71.com/hop-shoots-hop-asparagus-humulus-lupulus-recipe/ Link to comment

Didnt notice till now that for two weeks in a row was able to pick up asparagus super cheap. Must be in season! Link to comment
chattius 2,526 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Asparagus season runs second april week till rd week in june here in germany. Hop sprouds end of march till end of april. So yes, asparagus is cheaper here now and tastes better in my opinion because fresher, less transport, less storing. I prefer food when it is in season. But without a garden and farmers around, don't know. 1 Link to comment

chattius 2,526 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Bought !0 pounds of Grünkern. Lot of experiments. If you can use rice you could try Grünkern. More ballast, less carbs. This is first I want to try: Grünkern, cabbage turnip, peas, onions, bear garlic, bit fruit wine 1 Link to comment

Also I will roast the onions with some fatback cubes. Think the tastes will work together, Link to comment
chattius 2,526 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago 3C and very stormy. Tried a warm soup from Grünkern. Put it into grist mill. Roasted some onions with bacon pieces. added water, vegs, milled Grünkern, an egg and some cream. Grünkern is dried with beech wood burning so it has a slight smoky taste, together with the roast aroma it tastes fine. Link to comment
