Elk chili.  A couple pounds of elk round, braised with onions and garlic in a about 2/3 of a bottle of inexpensive Rhone. Add a variety of beans, a can of crushed tomatoes and the usual spices.  The wine takes away the gamy flavor, helps tenderize the meat and yields the expected deglazed brown base.  This game meat is so low in fat I added about 4 oz. of butter and some EVOO for the initial browning of the meat.

All this turns into a rich brown savory dish.  Not the traditional Texas style chili, but incredibly delicious.   Served it with some brown rice on a whim to some good friends in the neighborhood to rave reviews, accompanied with a couple bottles of really big potent red wine from the Spanish Ribero del Duero region.

Pizza.  Lazy night of watching hockey and lacrosse.

Homemade Korean stir fried squid and rice.  My mouth is just now recovering from the burn.

You know you're in some sort of trouble when you're spending time debating exactly how you're going to 'Stack' your next cheeseburger because you believe that all of your cheeseburgers are works of art 

Anyway, I'm making one of my super cheeseburgers with fries

It's not a problem, it's an opportunity. You need to make a fortune by written a book titled "101 ways to stack a burger"

Tonight I made Creamy Parsnip Risotto, then baked a pan of chocolate peanut butter honey fudge...

Yummy!

Possibly, it is part of a quest to develop the ultimate super burger

Among other interests I've always held a desire to open my own restaurant or even maybe a chain of restaurants

It would be pretty groovy to right a book about the whole experience

Starter - Australian King Prawns plus Aioli dipping sauce
Main course - Sirloin steak (Medium Rare) plus Boiled Broccoli with melted cheese and sweet potatoes
Afters - Blueberries plus low fat ice-cream
Plus 1 glass of South Australian Shiraz.

Might be a few months before I can take the grill out of the garage but that's not going to stop me from some George Foreman machine fajitas.

I've got some steaks in the slow cooker at home with some onions, peppers and garlic cloves in my favorite marinade, Mr Yoshida's Gourmet Sauce. Going to get home from work, make some spanish style rice and have a feast.

Veggie stew & spotted dick

I do love a spotted dick! Not sure what I'm eating tonight, but I'm eating enough for a village. I'm famished and there's still an hour and a half to work. 

In England a spotted dick doesn't always mean a visit to the doctor!

The thought crossed my mind "you actually eat that?". I googled it because it looked like I needed to throw a TOS 11 at you but it's a food I haven't run across yet. Live and learn.

  I teased my brother at a family function about trying spotted Dick. Limited world view with 2 daughters who went to the UK on visits and they knew what it was. I used a fake English accent to get him to try the stuff and said something like" You sure, squire, you want to try some spotted Dick?" He said something like "I don't want to eat anything that sounds like a disease!" I had the family ROFL big time on that. My sister from Texas has some available from her Kroger's. Whenever she passes a can of that in the store, she says that she giggles. She showed me that stuff in her store when I visited last. I was tempted to get that as a gift for my brother.
  Okay, back to the subject! Homemade chicken tenders from scratch with breadcrumb coating with chipotle pepper and other spices. Steak fries with a cob of garden corn.

I'm English and still can't bring myself to try me some Spotted Dick.

Heh, heh.  Some food names... Oy.

Anyway, here's dinner at the bachelorette pad:
Romaine lettuce, red onion, diced tomato tossed with a spicy Thai peanut vinaigrette
Pan-roasted herbed carrots and green beans
Butter chicken (a sort of curry) over basmati rice
Green tea with a side of minty spironolactone
