Today, we pressed the play button and tried to resume our normal routine. The kids had a play date with their friends and I spent the majority of the day tinkering in the kitchen.
For brunch, I sautéed 4505 Meats merguez sausage (out of the casing) with onions…
…and ate it with leftover braised cabbage.
In the afternoon, I cooked up a storm. I think I just wanted to keep my mind and hands busy.
I made a batch of macadamia nut oil mayonnaise…
…a dark chocolate and coconut milk ganache…
…which I’ll form into truffles if the ganache sets up properly…
…and curried cream of broccoli soup.
Plus, I’ve got a seasoned grass fed beef cheek soaking in the SousVide Supreme that I’ll fish out tomorrow afternoon.
At dinnertime, I sliced up the leftover 4505 Meats Turducken Junior and pan-fried them in duck fat.
We gobbled it up (heh!) with the rest of the braised cabbage and a bowl of soup.
