Club Sandwich

…with curry mayonnaise and home made fries. The sandwich is with lettuce, red onion, tomato, avocado and halloumi. I the background my trusty Godfather.

Ave, Caesar

_DSC5101LPA

Just made our first Caesar (-ish) Salad and I did a take on the Caesar Dressing with dried tomatoes instead of anchovies in the dressing:

1/2 clove of garlic

1 1/2 teaspoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 dl finely grated Grana Padano

3 pieces dried tomato

pinch of salt

1 egg yolk

1/2-3/4 dl rapeseed oil

Mixed everything finely with a hand mixer, then slowly added oil while mixing ferociously. Turned out fantastic!

Gimlet

Gimlet.

This weeks cocktail is a new one to me that I thought I’d try. And frankly, I’m a bit disappointed. I found it hard to balance the sour and the sweet, and the result was not to my taste.

The recipe I used (from punchdrink.com):

6 cl of Gin

2+ cl of Lime juice

2+ cl of syrup

(I ended up adding a little more syrup but that didn’t help. It may be I chose the wrong [cheap] gin…)

Sidecar

_DSC5012LPA
A beast of a cocktail and one of my absolute favourites. Sidecar.
5-6 cl of Cognac
2 cl Cointreau
2 cl Lemon juice
Shake with ice and serve in a chilled, sugar rimmed glass.

Maybe east or something
West was overrated anyway

Come on Daddy, there’s a light up there
We can make it if we hurry
I put my hand on his frozen hair
My mind was numb, my heart was fury
