What's for dinner?

[HisArpy]

I see. So categories don't clue you in.

If rorbags can post his celebrity death notices here and claim they're political; then dinner, where politics is often discussed, is equally acceptable.

You don't have to like it. In fact, I don't really care if you don't. Especially since you ain't mgmt, aren't likely to EVER be mgmt, and there's a high degree of certainty that you're not even the boss of you.

Right Mr. Pussy Whipped?

Yes, you choose to interact with people like me and blame them for the choices.

Not my fault you choose to ignore it when people tell you that you're being foolish and stupid in public. Blaming them for telling you to get your act together isn't very realistic either.

But that's why you act like a fool in public, you can't help yourself.

I can see why discussing dinner in a politics forum also seems to make sense to you

Well, being a political rebel like I am brings all kinds of exciting things to the table. Oh wait, is that a dinner reference?

Me liking it is irrelevant.
You asking why people aren't interested about food in a politics forum was what brought on my comment. If you don't want an answer, then don't ask the question.

I don't blame you for telling me your feelings. I don't blame you for anything at all.
If you choose to interact with me and then complain about it after the fact, that invites ridicule and I'm happy to provide that.

But that's why you act like a fool in public, you can't help yourself.

I do what I do because I want to. If you consider it foolish, then you do.
You do seem to need to announce it here quite often.

Might be. I don't have an interest in sharing food

This is like you reporting Wat's guns n stuff thread for not being political since there are pics of cars in it.

And I don't see you bitching about the "what are you listening to?" thread.

Not to mention the blurt thread which has very little political chatter in it.

Basically, you're whining because you don't have anything else to do.

I don't blame you for telling me your feelings. I don't blame you for anything at all.

Lol. Liar. You get butt hurt EVERY DAM DAY whenever someone tells you to either suck it up or fuck off. And then you turn it around and blame them for telling you to stop being an asshole.

It's really entertaining and frustrating at the same time to watch someone as thick skulled as you are twist reality into a pretzel and then blame other people for you choosing to dip it straight into a cow pat and then eat it.

If you choose to interact with me and then complain about it after the fact, that invites ridicule and I'm happy to provide that.

You're not ridiculing anyone. You're desperately spinning like a whirlwind trying to make yourself seem important instead of droll.

Good luck with that.

I do what I do because I want to. If you consider it foolish, then you do.

Friendly advice is friendly advice no matter what source it comes from. You seem bound and determined to not only discard the advice you get here from multiple people, but actually work against it.

Then why are you reading and posting in the food thread? Are you that dense that you can't see the immediate contradiction in asserting that you're not interested in food discussions yet can't resist trolling in the food discussion thread?

Yes, yes, we understand that it's not you who is confused about what you're doing here in this thread (and the entire board), it's everyone else who wonders daily why the fuck you continue to act like a dick.

You asked why no one posted their dinner. I suggested the reason.

Lol. Liar. You get butt hurt EVERY DAM DAY whenever someone tells you to either suck it up or fuck off. And then you turn it around and blame them for telling you to stop being an asshole.

I express my opinion about chaos being non ideological and how that's relevant. I got a little testy when you suggested it wasn't relevant. It happens.

I'm absolutely idiculing you, quite often.
You can spin that as you need.

Neat
Your.advice.certainly seems more like pompous critique....but to each their own

Then why are you reading and posting in the food thread?

Because I want to

However you need to explain it is fine with me

Yes, yes, we understand that it's not you who is confused about what you're doing here in this thread (and the entire board), it's everyone else who wonders daily why the fuck you continue to act like a dick.

Oh fun....pretending like you're more than one person again...I do enjoy when people do that.

People can wonder things about me as they want to. You seem to go back and forth from lecturing me to ignoring me. And you continually seem to have internal debate on whether you want to interact with me.

Carry on fine young cannibal

Happy Easter!

Pan seared duck breast in a blackberry / red wine reduction sauce with duck fat fried potatoes and green beans / julienned carrots.

Dessert is a sliced red wine poached pear with a mulled wine reduction syrup and whipped cream. There are a couple of blackberries on there too.

 

[HisArpy]

Dam, this thread fell off page 1 in a hurry. Apparently none of youse dullbots is interested in the highly concentrated and extreme energy fuel us carbon (and water!) based lifeforms need to function.

For those who are interested, but are maybe too shy to do more than make a quick peek; if you've never had duck before this is a great way to fix it and make it taste so good you wonder why you've never tried it before.

The duck is just seasoned with salt & pepper before pan searing. Score skin in a crosshatch pattern. Skin side down to start in a COLD pan. No oil. Heat over medium low. The meat will stick until it's crispy then release. If it needs a bit of a nudge to let go that's fine but don't pull it off the pan. Flip and repeat. Poke with your tongs to judge doneness, you want it med rare so it should be a bit rubbery and bouncy. Meat that is well done is stiff so stop cooking before you get to that point. You can use a meat thermometer if you want to. 135* is where you want it in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Remove and let rest while you make the sauce.

Pour off the accumulated fat before making the sauce. Sauce is chicken stock to deglaze the pan. Add fresh blackberries or raspberries and cook to reduce the stock. Smash the berries to release the juice, this gets easier as they cook so if the berries resist, let them cook more. After the stock reduces, add wine (any wine including 2 buck Chuck will work) and reduce by 2/3's. When it's thickened, strain to remove seeds and return to pan. Off the heat add a lump of unsalted butter and stir to incorporate and emulsify the sauce. Sauce should be smooth and glossy.

The pears are poached the day before because they have to rest overnight in the poaching liquid to turn red. Peel, remove bottom stem, and put into the liquid - red wine, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and some citrus juice. You can add water to the mix to increase volume if necessary but not too much.

Bring liquid to a simmer and place pears in pan. Poach for about 30 minutes, rolling pears to be sure that all sides are cooked. Pears are done when fork tender in thickest part. Remove form heat and cool, transferring to a sealed container before refrigerating overnight. Pears will go from dull sand color to dark red as they soak. Roll them over in the morning so all sides are submerged in the wine.

Before serving, remove pears from the wine into another container and keep refrigerated. Pour liquid into sauce pan and reduce until it's a thick syrup. Cool before drizzling over pears. If it's too thick, add some water and barely heat while stirring until it's smooth and thin enough to form a thin string from the spoon.
