Made a few meals this weekend.. As I am still doing the Keto thing, it's been a challenge..
I went to dellapetria's butcher shop in Brooklyn.. I must say, i am blown away by their quality.. Like blown away... It's expensive as hell but, i want to say it's worth it... I am often disappointed by expensive things but, damn not this time...
I got from them, merguez sausages, hot dogs, pork loin and dry aged steaks.. Everything is beyond reproach.
Merguez:
over some chinese greens:

Thursday night, I had made a lobster stock.. I kept it simmering on low over night... I turned it off when I left for work and then reduced the volume by half when I got home from work....

The boy helped me with the finishing stages of the lobster stock:


40 dollars a god damn pound... 60 day dry aged... I am going to say, it's one of the best steaks I have ever tasted...


My buddy who is a farmer was staying over with us.. His wife was skeptical as she likes medium well.. I was like, try this, if you don't like it I will burn a few pieces for you.. Needless to say, there were no leftovers.. It was so damn good.

I served it with cabbage cooked in cream with bacon, broccoli cooked with garlic and lemon topped with parmigiana cheese and cooked mushrooms in butter.. .
I had there pork loin sitting in a brine for the last couple of days... Jax asked me for fried chicken yesterday afternoon.. Like my daughter, my son now is all about my fried chicken and assumes it can be reproduced in moments.. Well, he is kind of right...
So sliced pork loin thin, pounded, breaded and fried.


He ate about 4 cutlets.. I took some paillards and did lemon capes and butter with them.. Again, at 20 dollars a pound, it's so expensive but, wouldn't you know, some truly beautiful product...

Then saturday night around 1 am, we made a keto cheesecake...

Then last night we went to some shitty movie at the alamo and spent some time walking around Target..I go into stores and read all the nutrional information hoping to find someone keto friendly.. I may have eaten cool whip once or twice in my life... Well let me tell you, after two weeks of not eating anything sweet, this was like a gift from the gods. .

Ason, I keep planets in orbit.
