Birthday brunch

It was my birthday, so I made myself some brunch. I don't like to make a big to-do about my birthday because it's generally a reminder to myself that another year has gone by that I haven't felt like I've accomplished anything in my life. It's a thing. Don't worry about it.
I picked up some salmon fillets at the store the other day, so I decided to bust one of them out for my celebration. I covered it in extra virgin olive oil, seasoned both sides with salt and black pepper, and broiled it on high for about 6 or so minutes.
My veggie bowls, starting at the top and going clockwise:
  1. Sliced endive and julienned radish
  2. Thinly sliced yellow onion and a basil leaf
  3. Sliced baby bella mushroom, diced orange bell pepper, and slivered garlic
  4. Minced basil, minced parsley, minced garlic, and grated parmesan
I lightly sautéed bowl 1 for a minute, then dumped in bowl 2 until the mushrooms were just starting to soften, then it came off the heat. While that was going (and the fish was broiling), I went ahead and poached an egg, too, because I finally got that to work.
I added some extra virgin olive oil to bowl #4 for a nice basil and parsley pesto, then spooned a couple circles onto my plate, then I bisected the salmon and laid a piece of each onto those pesto circles.
The poached egg went into one corner with a light dusting of cracked black pepper and a basil leaf; I spooned the veggies into the opposite corner. For the last touch, I left the onion strips on top of the salmon. It was a delicious, light meal, and it really hit the spot.

Voices in my head, or: Why do I cook?

Every time I chop a vegetable, slice a steak, drop garlic into oil, or scrub a pan, I hear voices in my head: my mom, my dad, my grandmothers, friends from college like James and Liz, friends from adulthood like Rick and Claudio, internet friends like NerdyCap , and tv chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Jeff Smith, Anthony Bourdain, Jacques Pepin, and Alton Brown, all of the folks who have taught me, directly in person or indirectly through books, tv episodes, or live streams, about cooking.  Steak frying with minced onion and minced garlic Sometimes I hear them instructing me on what I'm doing, the same words I've heard repeat in my head hundreds or thousands of times. "Don't let the garlic overcook or you'll get a bitter taste," mom says every time. Claudio often hits me with "If you hear them sizzling, they're sautéing. If they're quiet, they're caramelizing." "Why the fuck are you fucking doing this, you stupid donkey?!" ...

My Mexican restaurant

Some nights (and weekends), I just don't feel like cooking, so I do go out to local restaurants from time to time. My most frequent haunt is El Idolo, a Mexican place just on the edge of Bartlett, TN. It sits a good 1/8 of a mile from the geographic center of the county, so it's reached easily enough from everywhere. They also have the best damn margaritas in town. I've come here frequently and long enough (since they opened, to be honest), that I don't order a drink - my server brings my drink when I've been seated. Incidentally, I go for the medium (used to be large, but they added a new size that's for my Sundays only) margarita on the rocks, no ice, no salt. When a new server starts at "the 'Dolo" (as we call it), it usually takes them 2-3 visits before they remember, and then it's smooth sailing again. Most places that I've ordered this just mix a normal margarita, then top it off with their mix; the 'Dolo says, "nah, hermano,...

A Spicy Tuesday Night

 In my younger years, I did not enjoy spicy foods. Luckily, I grew up... Recipe for habanero cream sauce Tonight for dinner, I made chicken and veggies with a new favorite: habanero cream sauce. I started with a couple mushrooms, a couple radishes, some shallot, a little yellow bell pepper, and a few cloves of garlic.  I generally try to group ingredients by when I want to add them (I call them "firm," "soft," "aromatic," etc.). In this case, the sliced baby bellas and diced bell pepper were "soft," the sliced radish and slivered garlic were "hard," and the minced shallot and minced garlic were "aromatic." A little knife work, and they were ready to go, which meant it was time to tackle the habanero.  I cut it up last just to help prevent getting that heat mixed in anywhere it didn't need to go. I mince that shit down so I can mix it around pretty thoroughly, and I threw that into the a...
