Is everyone sleeping in today?
Last night was so great. We bought new pillows from Macy’s and a cutting board and a mesh strainer from Crate & Barrel.
H and I love to cook together and since I was gone last weekend he was itching to get back in the kitchen with me. We like to make a pepper crusted steak with shallots, thyme, and garlic and we make a blue cheese compound butter is amazing with the steak.
We tried a new side dish last night. There is this really awesome Asian fusion restaurant that we love and they make these really awesome crispy Brussel sprouts with garlic, chilies and fish sauce. I have tried for months to make this dish and it never tasted the same.
Well, last night we recreated the recipe! I found this really old article from when the restaurant first opened where the owner was talking about the sprouts being the most popular dish on the menu. There was no recipe, but the trick to the dish is deep frying the Brussel sprouts with no batter until they are crispy. We were baking them and that one little tweak elevated the entire dish. I love food so much lol
