Bacon and eggs, with the traditional diner ‘salad’, only here the lettuce is dark purple. In another break from counter custom, the freshly ground black pepper was supplemented this morning with a bit of a freshly crushed smoked chili pepper. the breakfast ingredients included very fresh eggs from pastured chickens and bacon from pastured pigs, …

eggs with sorrel (also thyme and micro red Russian kale)
Because I felt there was nothing the least bit extraordinary about it, I wasn’t going to post about yesterday’s [very late] breakfast, until I saw the photo tonight, when I realized I was ready to serve it again, for dinner. other than the fact that there were 3 fresh green herbs, or micro greens, no …
bacon and eggs breakfast with gram masala
I haven’t been posting our Sunday breakfasts lately, but this one was something of a revelation, so I decided to include it on the site. Looking for something out of our ordinary for seasoning our usual fried eggs, I pulled down from the shelf a small bottle of gram masala that I’d purchased last fall from Bombay Emerald Chutney …
coppa; herb-roasted poussin, maple squash; red cabbage
Chicken. Except that it’s not just chicken. It’s poussin. It’s a French thing, although it had a German-American accent on Saturday night. Poussin are almost unheard of in US food emporiums today, if they ever were, and I haven’t even been able to find them in the large New York greenmarket where I get almost …
broiled sea perch with scallion, anchovy; tomato; cabbage
It’s a beautiful fish And it’s an absolutely delicious fish. Last night we enjoyed what may have been one of my most successful preparations ever, using a simple recipe I’ve become very fond of, on some very fresh fish. It’s precisely however because I’m realizing how good this fish is without the addition of strong …
saddle of hare, game sauce, quince; roast squash; sprouts
The richest, gamiest game imaginable. Wild hare, two days in a row! Well it was already there, and for several reasons it seemed neither advisable nor possible to push back cooking our second ration of this noble meat to another day. We found 2 more pieces of shot, for a total of 4 between us. …
hare in cognac sauce; chutney; buckwheat risotto; cabbage
One Scottish hare. It turned out to be a 2-day feast, not necessarily because there was so much meat, but mostly because I was anxious to try to specifically prepare ‘saddle of hare’ (the phrase had always attracted me, like ‘haunch of venison’). For the saddle, see the next day’s post. But there definitely was …
last bacon & eggs of the year: still unlike any of the others
These regular bacon and egg breakfasts are a little like snowflakes: no two are ever the same. If they did actually repeat themselves, I wouldn’t have to post so many of them. this one included smoked bacon from Flying Pigs Farm; some very fresh eggs laid by pastured chickens at Millport Dairy Farm, sprinkled with …
roasted: spiced lamb rack, potato, radicchio, various herbs
We don’t really celebrate Christmas, except culturally, which always means there’s a place for a special meal and a special wine. This was only the night before the night before Christmas, and so while it was a special meal and a special wine, the occasion was probably more that of the Sunday thing. We also …
eggs embellished with both pea shoots and chervil
It was pea shoots and chervil because I put the pea shoots on the eggs before I remembered I had planned to toss them with chervil, so I ended using both. Otherwise it was a pretty basic plate of bacon and eggs, although more minimal than usual usually found at our breakfast table, one which …
