2010 - Week 40 Cooking Results

We went to the World Food Festival last night and visited many booths and ate many things.  It doesn't seem like it grew from the last time I was there, but it was fun. 

Chicken Cutlets with lemons and capers (RC October/November 2010 Cook's Country)

I kind or sort of followed the recipes, but not really.  These ended up as sandwiches.  Shannon didn't like the fried capers, and I wasn't a huge fan of them either.

Hamburgers or Pork Burgers (haven't decided yet)

Goat!  It was what we had for dinner.  Nom nom.

Buttermilk Cornmeal Pancakes

If, say, I had to have pancakes every day, I would eat this pancakes as a change of pace.  However, since I don't these were, I don't know...different but not in a great way.  They weren't bad, but I prefer buttermilk without the cornmeal.

Oven-Toasted Ham, Brie and Apple Sandwiches

Keith asked me to go see Atmosphere, and after asking if it was OK with Shannon, I took my wife out to dinner, instead of making this, and spent the rest of the evening realizing I'm not as young as I'm used to be.  I also enjoyed Blueprint and Grieves & Budo. I'm glad I went but the combination of standing for 3+ hours, the volcano heat of the venue (seriously get better ventilation), I had to take a break and drink down some water in the backstage bar, sit my fat-ass down and take a break.  After being in the thick of it for most of the show, we stood off to the side (near the not really in use bar) for the last third of the Atmosphere set and the encore.  Blueprint and Grieves will be added to my music collection here eventually.  Though I will restate, I felt old, not only cause my body was hurting, but because I was clearly older nearly everyone there.  The only saving grace is that Keith is older then me, so I knew I wasn't the oldest.
