Peckerwood Cafe: What's For Dinner? What dish have you mastered?



I have not had the chance to cook much during our holiday since the ranch we were staying at has a chef. Usually, we joined a few other guests for dinner at the owner's house. The food was great but now that we're returning home, we had to settle for a tasteless and overpriced airport breakfast. Unfortunately, we headed to New York instead of California because my husband has to work tomorrow and be holed up in my aunt's office. Oh well, back to the grind.

So, instead of cooking for my family tonight, we'll get takeout and relax at my aunt's house in Manhattan with some company. My cousin and his wife, who are big foodies, will join us, and we're looking forward to trying out some new cuisine. I've decided on a Burmese. I'll let you know how it goes. @Captain Peacock likes off the beaten path ethnic cuisine, so she is the inspiration. 

I'm not one to brag, but I've become quite skilled in the kitchen. Cooking with my Brother-in-Law, who has worked in kitchens since he was a boy, has helped me step up my game. He takes food very seriously and pays attention to every detail, even when making a simple cheeseburger. Cooking with someone who loves to eat and appreciates good food is a joy, nourishing our senses.


One of the most challenging dishes I make from scratch is Cassoulet. It takes a lot of planning and preparation, but it's ultimately worth it. You need to gather all the ingredients beforehand, and I even make my own Toulouse sausages and confit my duck legs. @BaconSlut would be in heaven with all the pork products that go into it. I plan to make some for the cafe and invite you to sample it and give me your feedback.


So, what are you having for dinner tonight? Did you have any delicious meals today?
