Will you adopt me

Will you adopt me

My three kids might object but fuck it. We eat well here. Simple and delicious. Just me and my Queen tonight for that Hallmark holiday. I might get lucky........

 

[RJ2kWJ]

Alrighty. Time for me to get naked and keep a boner.

 

[RJ2kWJ]

I love @Nape for some things. Amazing person and a better chef by every category. Except when it comes to anything that involves crab.

When @Nape wants to go toe-to-toe with Chesapeake blue, red, Central American clawless lobster, or northeast Maine lobster..... game on.

I’m adding DLJ to the drawn butter for my plate. Prolly won’t suck. Queen gets all the lobster she wants. King is for me.

Red or Blue King?

No matter, it’s the 4th or 5th best crab.

Love blues anytime I can get them. I’ll cede to you on those. My favorite is dungeness and Kona. Both are amazing.

Red. And agree. Easiest to eat but not the best.

I would love to go against you. I bring my mid-Atlantic PROPER blue crab, not that Alaska crap. I bring the oysters that are shipped world wide, guarantee you have zero idea what they are, and I bring a girlfriends lobsters that grew up in Maine. Game. On.

I’ll give you the crab but I have to say that oysters are my wheelhouse. Always have been and always will be. My lone weakness.

It’s better than snow, but that’s it.

menu looks solid. Wife and I did tapas. Potato bravas, olives, steak crostini with carmalized onion, Smokey blue cheese and balsamic glaze. Finish with caponata. I’d send a pic but we destroyed it.

Sounds amazing. Love a good caponata.

Sous vide to 138 degrees for an hour. A couple pads of good butter in with them. Removed from shell by dunking in boiling water for about a minute.

I really want to do lobster the way that Keller does it at French Laundry. It was on the menu when I went there. He sous vides it in butter for 2 hours at 140 degrees. I just have never felt the need to buy that much butter to fill up a vat.

His technique was my guide. I went a little lower on temp but it turned out Ok. I would probably kick up the temp to 140-142 if I did it again just to get a better texture. I am not a fan of lobster and only make it for my girls when asked.

Until I figure out what DLJ is BAD on, it’s going on everything.
