Christmas Eve in the Nihon house: Toasted croissant, smoked salmon, slow cooked scrambled eggs with crème fraîche, and roasted cherry tomatoes for breakfast. Mrs Nihon made an awesome charcuterie board for lunch. For dinner I made venison loin, fondant potatoes, pearl onions and demi glace.

Congratulations Mom & Dad!!

I pulled a whole duck out of the freezer and thought about what to make with it. I found this picture that inspired me, but it was just a description of the dish: Confit duck leg, seared duck breast, pommes purée, wilted silver beet, black garlic purée, duck jus I thought it would be fun to...

I've been on vacation all week. I hiked half the week, and home/hangar the later half the week, so I've been doing some cooking the past few days. For years, I've been practicing a French omelet but have difficulty achieving consistent results. I've watch Jacques Pepin make one a hundred...

Peppers stuffed with a mixture of bison, lamb, sauteed onions and mushroom duxelles. I added an egg to the top and baked it all until set. Served with roasted red pepper coulis.

So long Charlie Hustle. RIP.

Thanks for the tip. I just ordered a pair.

I think it's more like a poker player bluffing. If you don't get caught once in a while, you aren't trying hard enough.

Tomato salad with olive oil, ricotta cheese, fresh basil and balsamic vinegar pearls. We had this at a restaurant last weekend and I decided to try making it at home.

I was pursuing YouTube cooking videos this morning, and found one for Shakshuka so I decided to make it for dinner. Very tasty and easy! About 45 mins start to finish, with about half of that time waiting for Mrs_Nihon to get home. Sauteed onions, peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes that cook...

When I read this thread and thought about getting back to fountain pens, I bought these disposable pens from Amazon to see if I could rekindle my love of ink. I figured a cigar's worth of pens was a good starting point...

You're missing a couple of letters. Add "sleeping" and you'll get them all.

Seared venison loin with port wine demi glace, sauteed spinach, cauliflower mash. Mrs_Nihon gave it her approval. I might even have gotten a husband point for having dinner ready when she got home from work!

Congratulations Tom!
