this page needs a great start of food

going to post some pics soon

did you brine the bird?

Yes, I brined it up... did the Alton Brown recipe which has a brining solution. (the ever versatile lobster pot wins again!)


Birfday Sushi Buffet


Tuna, half seared, half raw..


The cooked items shrimp and lobster


Not available fresh from the fish guy, but from the sushi place: clam of some kind (looks like clitoris), squid, and eel.


The salmon was pretty near immaculate...


Scallops... WOW, these were way better than I had expected.


The swordfish was ok.. but very little flavor and was pretty dense... which made a poor showing versus the tuna, salmon and scallops.


Everything Nigiri-style (just layed over sushi rice balls)...

This was probably one of the greatest meals I've ever had.

so kingnat, can you eat scallops raw? i always thought that you had to cook them.

Totally... I knew one could order them on a sushi menu, but i didn't realize my local fish guy could get them fresh enough. I considered putting a little lemon juice on them to 'cold cook' them a bit, but decided against it. The texture was obviously very different, which bothered the wife, but I thought the flavor was very good.

i absolutely LOVE scallops, but i'm not sure i could eat them raw.

Don't play possum. Which is it?

at first glance it just looks like a suckling pig, but I was curious so I googled "roast possum" and its the first result. I still just figured someone named the picture that and was playing it off as a possum for whatever reason. But when I clicked to see the page it was actually a recipe page for roast possum..

well Ill be...

Scallops should never be cooked well done, so the center should actually be ... well not raw, but .. you know..

Anyways, Ive adopted the creed that Ill try anything once, so long as it is presented in an appetizing way.

Me, too. But that possum does not qualify.

And my favorite sushi place makes an awesome spicy scallop wrap.

omg

the green lawn is so disgusting!

[flomo]

You guys are cruel. I just saw this thread and spent the last 2+ hours reading all the posts, and salivating over all the pictures.

I also love to cook. Mainly island dishes like curry goat, jerk chicken and pork, fried plantains, ox tail etc. Also love game like squirrel, rabbit, possum, raccoon, and of course deer.

The lakes here are all full of small and large mouth as well as peacock bass. You can pretty much catch as many as you like.

Next time I cook up a party meal I'll be sure and post pictures.

i 'm crazy for the jamaican ladies oxtail on 71st and york

[cohenleonard]

uncooked, but here is a little sample of the main course from this years "lobsterfest" in a friends backyard. none were under 6lbs.... 495lbs total this year, up from 360+ last yr.

[bode]

holy shit, how much does 495lbs of lobster cost?

also, a TR full of pictures is required.

[donkbee]

I had a full 2 lb lobster the other day at dinner ($40 for it ... is that a rip off?) and it was the most funny thing ever because I had no idea what I was doing. I had no idea how to crack it and actually eat it! The waiter had to coach me through my meal pretty much. It was soooo amazing and so worth it though.

[mrhappy333]

495lbs * approx $10 lb = $4950.00 USD
WOW!

[flomo]

i have heard of prices for lobster dropping to 3.99 lb in maine and NH at times over the past year. here in NYC one place has lobsters for $5.95 lb on sale occassionally(fairway market).

no matter it is a large chunk of change.

sounds like it was not a rip off.


we still need that full TR with pics.

I can verify flomo's pricing... lobster is just under $6 here, and was as low as $4 last fall.

thank you.

i love beets also. the beet zuchinni salad was excellent--balsamic vinegar was used to "marinate" the zukes before sauteing.

the pizza was great except it needed a little acid to make it go "POW"---still working on it------the honey drizzle was a great help

i got 2pounds of brie--on sale for $3.99 lb

ooooh good bump. boost please post pics of the dinners you have been hosting!

Shit! I get live 1lb chicks through work for under 10$ a piece and thats a steal. Live lobster at a fish monger in Chicago is likely to be over $20/lb.


edit: don't have many pics uploaded from the dinners, but heres one of the amuse we did on our first menu.
