And The Trophy Goes To...

We take our food responsibility very seriously here. We got a sick man to feed, my friends. We've consulted people from all over the globe, pastry chef from Paris, chefs from Italy, Germany and Switzerland (English food bites - trust me, I'm English) and oh, a couple of guys from Sheboygan. So after months of searching for recipes, experimenting and tweaking them to get them just right, last night Pop said this to me:

"You know, I have to say, for the first time in quite a while, I really enjoyed a supper. And I felt good, too."

So what was the culinary masterpiece that finally hit Pop in the Sweet Spot?

2 Oscar Meyer low-fat beef hot dogs on toasted buns, macaroni salad and potato salad. Store-bought salads, by the way.

I know. It was the Gulden's mustard that made the difference. None of that foofy Grey Pooped On for us, pal.

Take that, Food Network.


Tonight,

I'll make Chicken Lippy. Here's the recipe:

INGREDIENTS:


  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

  • 10 fluid ounces white wine

  • 1/4 cup minced shallots

  • 1 tablespoon wasabi paste, or to taste

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed

  • salt and black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

  • 1 cup chopped cilantro leaves

  • 6 (6 ounce) fresh tuna steaks, 1 inch thick


Yeah.

I'm still Stupid at times.

  1. Hi Lippy,
    I'm still really weak but I'm forcing the food down. I get quite a kick out of pop. :)

    I like a little poop in my mustard. LOL
