What Are you Eating Right Now?

Since we can’t rely on family members and I am the only cook in the house, I finally caved and asked my mother in law for a latke recipe for Hanukkah. I absolutely nailed it, like a mensch.

Nice. I once had latkes prepared by Ben Cohen (the ice cream guy). They were magnificent.

When they end up just soggy, I’m not a fan, but these were crispy on the outside, perfect on the inside. I kind of want to strut around.

There's a trick that I haven't mastered, you seem to have to hit the frying temperature just right. Too low and they're soggy, too high and they burn.

I just put the Trader Joe's ones in the air fryer like a good Jew.

I butchered the leg and have a roast for tonight using the bavette from the meat around the femur. It's basically like a meat rollup that I tie up with string and roast for 80-90 minutes at 375. The shank I have saved for later in the week. I'll slow roast that in a Dutch oven at 275 for a couple of hours. There are a bunch of trimmings left over so I seasoned and froze those. I made a stock with the bones which I froze as well. I'll make stew with that in a few weeks.

Lamb roast

[Dr. Medulla]

The Boss bought a roast for Christmas. I feel surprisingly conflicted. She went vegetarian before me, but it's been over a year since I had meat. I'm not fanatical or anything like that, but I'm comfortably divorced from meat. Yet I'm not going to refuse any meal prepared—that's rude. So I'll eat it, but it won't be without some conscience discomfort. Extra wine will be on tap, I guess!

Is there a concern about stomach upset after not having had it for so long? I've heard of that happening to people.

Hadn't thought of that, but no, not worried about that because I've never had a queasy stomach related to what I eat. Actually, she just told me I'm not obliged to eat the roast part if I don't want to. It'll be a game-time decision.

I was vegetarian for about 3 months back in college. I threw up the first meat I had after that, but to be fair I was also drunk.

I think I can diagnose what happened.
