Fresh Salmon with a Tomato Bruschetta on a Bed of Orzo Pasta with a Tasty Reduction

Fresh Salmon with Tomato Bruschetta on Pasta

Aaron and I got to be the lucky recipients of an original recipe creation by Jocelyn tonight.  The amazing thing was, each serving had only 500 calories after measuring the ingredients and portion sizes.  It was refreshingly light yet satisfying, which is a difficult combination to achieve.  Between Ruth's Chris Steakhouse last night, the Julia Child recipes that are bound to be cooked up this week (entirely new, of course ... we are ready to experiment beyond our usual favorites), and these … [Read more...]

Beef and Onions Braised in Beer by Julia Child

Julia Child Beef and Onions Braised in Beer Recipe

Tonight, we decided to try the recipe immediately following the Julia Child Beef Bourguignon recipe in Mastering the Art of French Cooking (I wrote about our experience with that recipe a few months ago).  The entree is called Carbonnades a la Flamande, which translates into Beef and Onions Braised in Beer.  This followed the Chicken Simmered in Cream from yesterday, which has become our favorite Julia Child recipe (I haven't yet discussed it here but plan to add it sometime in the future).  … [Read more...]

Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce for Breakfast

Eggs Benedict for Breakfast

During Ashly and Ian's visit from Ohio this weekend, and as part of our weekend of gourmet dining, they made us eggs benedict with a hollandaise sauce on Saturday morning.  The nutritional sacrifice was worth it (health food, this is most certainly not but 1,000 calories was a small price to pay). The eggs benedict recipe consisted of two English muffins covered with poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and hollandaise sauce.  Frankly, I don't know the details of how they prepared it because I was … [Read more...]

Gourmet Chili with Red Wine

February 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The gourmet chili with red wine recipe cost between $65 and $75 in ingredients alone, but it doesn't need to be that expensive. The red wine added a great flavor and the peppers caused a slow, burning aftertaste that was quite satisfying.

Aaron said he wanted to make chili.  I said fine (this went on for a few weeks - he really wanted to try to customize his own gourmet chili recipe).  It ended up costing $65 to $70 for the ingredients alone, making me wonder why everything we do tends to be in excess.  Now, this is a good trait in some regards (we obsessively built our first online business, which was a great foundation due to the stream of earnings it provided us to invest in other things), and the same goes when we start … [Read more...]

Rainbow Pancakes

February 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I came across these rainbow pancakes when reading the blogs and thought it was a really cool idea. Of course, the fact that it reminds me of either a Christian Bible Camp or a gay pride parade is funny. I like a little dichotomy in my breakfast.

I happened to be sitting at the dining room table, a cup of coffee in one hand, writing out plans for potentially launching a mutual fund this year (this time around, it's a Parker Duofold rollerball in an amber check pattern from the recent shipment of fine writing instruments we received at Kennon Home Accessories and its retail store, Kennon & Company).  As I was mulling over some ideas in my head, I was reading the blogs, which is my customary morning routine that began back in the … [Read more...]

How to Make Money in Fable 2 – Or, How I Made My Fable 2 Character a Millionaire in a Few Days Without Cheating

Fable 2 Limited Edition Box Set for XBOX 360

It's remarkable that the same concepts that allowed me to be effectively retired by my mid-twenties allows me to frequently become rich in video games. That's the nature of compounding.  It is a law, exactly like gravity. This weekend, Ashly and Ian drove in from Columbus to visit - they are thinking about relocating to this area next March so that she can work with us on the businesses and he can work as a nuclear engineer at a nearby facility.  Right now, she's a risk mitigation analyst … [Read more...]

On Tonight’s Menu: The Julia Child Beef Bourguignon Recipe

August 16, 2009 By 4 Comments
Julia Child Beef Bourguignon Recipe

Two of our best friends are visiting from Ohio this weekend and so we decided to try the now-famous Julia Child beef bourguignon recipe from Mastering the Art of French Cooking.  After seeing the movie Julie & Julia last Sunday with my mom, everyone thought it would be fun to give it a go. We found that the Julia Child beef bourguignon recipe was being given away for free by the publisher of her magnum opus, so I thought I'd share them with you here.  It sounds magnificent and, given … [Read more...]
