I will say that it is hard to eat only one of these though . . . .yummmmmm<BR/><BR/>tt: This new cookbook of mine is absolutely fantastic! But as everyone can tell, I'm in love with Jamie Oliver's recipes! ! ! <BR/><BR/>Bresaola is much like prociutto ham & other cured meats, but it is unique in that it is extremely lean with little or no fat! Awesome stuff! Beetroot is just a fancy way of saying beets, which is weird that I like them, b/c my mom hates them so she did not make us eat them. When they're done right, they're really, really good & don't taste like dirt. <BR/><BR/>The Razor's Edge Shiraz was chosen, b/c J. Oliver's friend is a sommelier and recommended an Australian Shiraz with this meat dish. I choose wines at the store by reading about what awards and/or how many points a wine has. This one has a screw top, but it had 90 points! Screw tops aren't so bad anymore and are not indicative of how good or bad a wine is. I'm not that much of a snob anymore. . . .Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584503437503775081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135091772004222693.post-28560747847860646542008-02-08T20:15:00.000-06:002008-02-08T20:15:00.000-06:00sometimes food coma's are just a necessary part of...sometimes food coma's are just a necessary part of life.

Rock Chef: It was! Ian: Did not...Alli: Definitely. <BR/><BR/>Rock Chef: It was! <BR/><BR/>Ian: Did not eat 15 brownies, though I can't say the husband did not. . . Actually, that is the name of the brownies which I assumed was from his London trattoria & students. I love them. They are not the typical brownies found in the US. They're more of a cocoa - not so sweet. I added dried cherries to them last night - yum! <BR/><BR/>I do believe the lamb you and the Mrs. made for us when we visited was from one of his cookbooks. You 2 are the one's who totally made me fall in love with J. O's. food/recipes! You get all the credit here.<BR/><BR/>Fi: I think to do all this was wa-aaay more impressive when I worked full-time. <BR/><BR/>But if there is one thing I love to do, it is to cook. I always make time for that. <BR/><BR/>Em: I highly suggest at least thumbing through it at the bookstore - taking a moment to read some of it & then you can make a decision. I will say that I have never had one of his recipes fail me yet. Not that I've made all of them. <BR/><BR/>You would've definitely been invited to any one of my dinner parties. We had great times back in the day. I miss it. I don't have anyone to cook for in this new city of ours.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584503437503775081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135091772004222693.post-42448635779927920982008-02-08T12:53:00.000-06:002008-02-08T12:53:00.000-06:00Hmm.

Luckily, though, I do have The Fashionista, who has taken it upon herself to teach me how to cook. She herself is a fantastic cook and is responsible for feeding me at least once a week, so hopefully I can learn some good stuff from her!<BR/><BR/>Em<BR/><BR/>PS Your dinner sounds amazing. I would love to be invited to one of your wine/dinner parties if we were friends in real life. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135091772004222693.post-11810670540248199392008-02-08T09:00:00.000-06:002008-02-08T09:00:00.000-06:00Ian: Dammit that was going to be my question....yo...Ian: Dammit that was going to be my question....you beat me too it!<BR/>Jen: how do you find time to blog, cook AND do all your other housework, work and general living stuff??<BR/>Fi...xxxAlex&Fihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17301641370019005687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135091772004222693.post-45786467434673229962008-02-08T08:24:00.000-06:002008-02-08T08:24:00.000-06:00Okay, Fifteen as in the recipe from the restaurant...Okay, Fifteen as in the recipe from the restaurant "Fifteen" and not as in the amount you ate, right?Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271378150323939510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135091772004222693.post-39561753502443940942008-02-08T07:29:00.000-06:002008-02-08T07:29:00.000-06:00Sounds fab!Sounds fab!Rock Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259561583833857901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135091772004222693.post-5318193919231666262008-02-07T22:10:00.000-06:002008-02-07T22:10:00.000-06:00mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!Allison Hornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706754318123107871noreply@blogger.com
