Albondigas...Thanks to Baggins and family for the idea.

Kicked out a batch of White beans and smoked ham shanks. Killer eats.
Went over good as the weather is finally cooling off here in the central valley. We actually got some rain too.

One of my favorite meals is ham and beans with a side of cornbread...

I had leftover curry squash soup tonight..

I've never really liked smoked or baked ham. And I like pretty much everything. Am I the only one?

I like pretty much everything else pork (no feet please).

The great thing about the ham shanks/hocks is that they are already smoked and when added to your soup/beans impart great flavor.
Not to mention that the meat from that part of the pig is/looks like dark meat, and I like it better than the white/pork chop meat. Gotta love a good piece of ham from the leg.
 
Leftover lobster for Christmas lunch..

I got the wife a New England hotdog bun pan .... So, she is making homemade hotdog buns and I made up the lobster salad.

Lobster, snow grilled/roasted red pepper, celery, celery, pepper, salt and paprika.

Merry Christmas All,

I'll add the final pic later.

J, looks devine!

So, I get a hanker'n for real French Onion soup about 2x per year or so. Over the years I can count one, yes just one, memorable/unforgettable French Onion soup I've eaten and that was at a long closed restaurant in Reno. I've made my own for more years than I can remember but none of my homemade versions ever made it to the short list of memorable tasty eats; until last week.

Enter Thomas Keller's French Onion soup recipe. Like everything I've made from Thomas Keller's creative and all things execution genius this onion soup easily hit the bullseye. Disclosure: I've eaten his French Onion soup at Keller's Bouchon Bistro in Yountville but for whatever reason it didn't taste like the results from his recipe for same.

Follow along here if you too have been generally unsatisfied with the run of the mill French Onion soup recipes:

I had leftover onion jam from this recipe and used it as the base for a onion/roasted squash/sage/cheese pizza
