Corned Beef

Corned Beef recipe.

Usually they sell vacuum sealed and already seasoned. So here's what I do with those.

Soften some garlic in olive oil.
Brown beef on both sides.
Lower flame and add water completely covering the meat.
Add: Thyme, Black Peppercorns, 4 or 5 Bay Leaves, All Spice and a little bit of salt to the broth.
Simmer for 3 and a half hours.
Done.

Simple no. Fucking delicious too. Mangia!

Out to eat

Had a terrific dinner at this place on Saturday night.

Normally I don't eat salads but for some reason I felt like a little salad would do me right before a salty, crusty brick oven pizza so I started the meal with a arugula, endive, radicchio salad with a simple lemon olive oil dressing. It was great, arugula nice and peppery, the dressing was light and the endives were fresh and crispy.

For entree we ordered the Prosciutto Di Parma with Arugula and parmagiano reggiano. Wow. First let me just say that I would eat a piece of prosciutto di parma off a shit covered floor. I mean I love it. The combination of the fresh mozz, light deep red sauce and then the prosciutto was almost too much.........................THEN FRESH SHAVINGS OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHEESES IN THE LAND...not to mention fresh raw arugula, again, peppery flavor. Perfect crust. It was great.

Then, holy fuck, then. We ordered the Nutella dessert pizza. Now if your not familiar with Nutella it's this light, chocolaty/hazelnut spread popular in Italy. So they make like this sweet crispy dough, they sand which in some nutella, warm it, topped with vanilla ice cream and powdered sugar. Just straight semen jolted out my penis yo. That shit was THAT good. Just straight babies. I mean jesus christ that was good shit.

I will most certainly be back at Zio Toto. Might be my new favorite joint.

Snickers Ice Cream Bars.

I need a WOK.

Those Green Giant frozen vegetables in the steam bags are ok. Serves well if you can't cook up the fresh veggies.

Pork butt in the freezer. Will get the rib rubbed and grilled for 5 hours this weekend. I got a boner just thinking about it.

The rib rub can be used on just about any cut of meat except beef. It's that good.

Lemons are miracle fruit.

Had steak and eggs Saturday mornin with a pint of Smithwicks at an Irish Bar. De-lish.

Going to make an attempt to eat more fish.

Bacon. In all it's Glory.

If someone video taped God making earth would it resemble this?
