Saturday 7/9 What's Cooking?

I marinated mushrooms in vermouth yesterday with a bunch of dill. That and an open-faced tomato sandwich on homemade "German" rye bread studded with dill and fennel seeds, combined with homemade olive-oil mayo (and of course, I used FRESH eggs) are my dinner.

Tried some Memphis Style Ribs. Nice. Had some great peas and green beans from a local stand. Lovely stuff.

How did you like the Omaha things? We did that one year for my in-laws for Christmas. They said the food was good but they are really easy to impress with food.

Actually, everything was quite good. I only have a small freezer (you know, 1980 technology, above the fridge) or I might consider it again. But I do have good butchers so probably won't. Their introductory offer simply cannot be beat for price. If I couldn't get out to shop I'd probably subscribe. Do you know what was best? Their hamburgers. Head and shoulders above what I do myself or the myriad of sports bars and other restaurants around here. Probably because it is a fattier cut?
