My wife wanted this for birthday… But to pull this off, she had to grill the steaks while I ran to Bless Your Heart Burgers to get their fries. I also made my Sautéed Spinach.

Of course I fixed this for St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

I went with a bottle of Montgomery from Fair Isle.
Phở Spiced Roasted Bone Marrow with Thai Salad and Sticky Rice
I saw these canoe cut beef bones at Zupan’s and decided to make another attempt to replicate the Phở Spiced Roasted Bone Marrow from the infamous and long shuttered Tanuki.
I followed these roasting instructions but seasoned with Chinese Five Spice. And then once they came out of the oven, I glazed them with the sauce from Pot Pok’s Ike’s Fish-Sauce Wings.
I served it sticky rice and my Thai Salad – which I gussied up with some Revel Sichuan Style Bacon, Veggie Confetti Pickled Carrots and Lar’s Crispy Onions.

Corned Beef, Bourbon Glazed Cabbage and Hoppin’ John
We moved up our usual New Year’s Day feast to New Year’s Eve. I wanted a day to recover before going back to work.
I ended up going with corned beef since I can no longer get corned pork anymore. I considered curing a pork brisket myself, but was unable to find one. Of course, I had to make the bourbon glazed cabbage and Hoppin’ John.

I went with last bottle of Curieux from Allagash and a bottle of Bourbon Fred from Hair of the Dog.
Beef Rendang, Asparagus with Chili Crisp & Garlic and Salt & Pepper Tater Tots
We ended up not having any guests this Christmas, so I decided to try out a Beef Rendang recipe. I figured that the Asparagus with Chili Crisp & Garlic, and Salt & Pepper Tater Tots would pair well.

I went with a bottle of Holiday Friends – a gin barrel aged beer made with spruce tips – which was a collaboration with Block 15 and Fort George.
Beef Stroganoff and a Salad
For our belated 20th wedding anniversary party, I made my wife’s favorite.

I decided to grab a bottle of Odelette from Fair isle from the cellar.
Fiilet Mignon with a Red Wine Reduction Sauce, Sautéed Spinach with Roasted Garlic and Matsutake Mushrooms
This was an “unsupervised” meal. Pretty much improvised by what I found when I was out shopping the day before.

I busted out a special bottle… Crooked Numbers from Mirage. Bottle 95 of 165.
Borscht
Had not made this one in a while – especially since Tails & Trotters closed. So, I went back to the original recipe and ran by Kenny & Zuke’s to get some of their pastrami.

I went with a bottle of Drunken Minotaur that I picked up not too long ago at Labyrinth Forge.
Chinese Five Spice Skirt Steak, Baby Bok Choy with Sesame-Maple Sauce, Salt & Pepper Tater Tots
I stumbled on the Salt & Pepper Tater Tots recipe a while back. I decided that it would go well with the Chinese Five Spice Skirt Steak. And I wanted to serve that with the Garlicky Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts with Sichuan Peppercorns, but my wife suggested the Baby Bok Choy with Sesame-Maple Sauce instead.

I picked up a bottle of Willa from Block 15 last weekend to go with this meal.
Galbi Short Ribs and Thai Salad
Wow. Has it really been almost two years since I made this last?

Jouer avec le feu.
