What’d You Do Last Weekend?
With a little extra pastry cream and a simple crepe batter, try your hand at a gateau de crepes, also known as mille crepes.
What's for Dinner? Tuna Burgers, Duck-Fat Fried Potatoes, and Brussels Sprouts Salad
Earlier this year we bought a whole Albacore tuna, and aside from simple grilling we haven't done anything crazy with it. But recently Todd was flipping through our copy of Michel Richard's Happy in the Kitchen when he found a tuna burger that he couldn't resist. Marinated in sesame and soy, mixed with basil and served with arugula splashed in shiso vinegar, I'm declaring this our go-to fish burger. The meat was tender, flavorful, had no hint of fishiness to it - and was lovely with a ginger sesame mayo.
As if that wasn't enough, he made a simple raw brussels sprout salad and fried some potatoes in duck fat (what, doesn't everyone have a container of duck fat in the freezer?), and we washed it all down with a crisp beer whose name escapes me at the moment. Deeply satisfied, I cleaned the last of the oil and mayo off my plate with a tiny piece of bread and turned on some trashy TV.
