Pavé Grillé et Pavé au Poivre sont deux de mes préférés!
But not if they're going to be silly and use Google Translate to translate the names and cook paving stones instead of beef...I think I'd break a tooth!
Needless to say Eduardo knew immediately what both of those dishes really are, but I can just imagine the puzzlement of the poor diner who doesn't know that Pavé, on a menu, refers to the shape of the item, not what it's actually made of...
Now if only more restaurants would put Steak Diane on the menu...which I love too but pretty much have to eat at home, if at all.
One restaurant in Memphis makes a Steak au Poivre that can substitute decently for Steak Diane, but doesn't really have enough shallot or onion in the sauce, and, of course, a bit more pepper than Steak Diane should necessarily have.
Of course the same wish goes for Pavés du Mail, which have a cognac laced mustard cream sauce...hmmm Eduardo is contemplating how well that sort of sauce might go on boneless lamb loin chops...would that be appropriately named Agneau du Mail or Agneau à la Creme de Moutarde? The latter is more correct in meaning, but I don't know why steak with cream mustard sauce is called "pavement of the mall"...in any case, I think this lamb may be in my near future!
But enough dissection and side ramblings on the humor. Have a great day y'all!

I know it may seem callous to laugh at disaster, but I'd rather laugh than cry...Really newspaper editors should read their headlines more carefully...and crocodiles should learn to bring their own snacks along when they go fishing, so they don't have to eat unhealthy food that is so readily available.

Happy St. Pat's Day, from me and all my Irish ancestors!
Seems strange not to be at the beach today! But will be there tomorrow!
9:30 leave home time, drive to Tucker to meet up with Marietta...pack her car and GOOOOO!!
Packing to do today, some things already counted and stacked only needing to be put into the suitcase..lots still to take off hangers and fold... and a few food and kitchen items to gather and put in my travel box. (a standard size bankers box.)
Gray out this morning...hope the sun peeps out later. Weather on HHI looks very similar to what it will be in ATL. One day of forecasted rain. (good day for movies or books, or games and multi. cups of hot tea!)
Ditsy cat has not bothered me for 2 nights...I think he's gotten the idea that crying outside my door is useless!
Need to get busy. Want to eat breakfast, and lunch here...then dinner out, and have everything ready to put into the car, so that when I get home from dinner I can load the car and be ready to roll tomorrow.
Maybe a gym trip in there somewhere....maybe not! not stressing over it.
Roger your step count will increase at home today from carrying your NS frozens to the basement! I read your comment about it not warming up, and I wish I could send you some warmer air currents...But, OTOH I remember living in NJ, NH, MA and not even thinking about the cold. It was cold, it was gonna stay cold, and you just dressed for it! I no longer have those really warm articles of clothing....some days I wish I did. Its only after you move south that you freak out over cold...or maybe its cuz I'm older and more bothered by cold??? maybe?perhaps?

Ed, yes it may seem callous, but anybody dumb enough to try to take a photo with a 10 ft alligator....well..... The guy in Mexico, that was sad.

Tonight's corned beef and cabbage. I ate a small serving of corned beef. A small serving of potatoes, and a small serving of carrots. And a big old pile of cabbage! No one ever gained weight from eating too much cabbage

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday!
53 out there now and wet. High of 67 predicted with 90% chance of, mostly morning, showers.
Some kind of meeting for J this afternoon. I'll probably tag along as he wanted to go to the Botanic Gardens to look at the bonsai exhibit afterward.
Going to eat some leftover corned beef and sides now for breakfast. I hear the microwave chirping.

Hi
I went out walking today and hit 8.14Ksteps, The temperature was 32 degrees Vs 30. The road and sidewalk conditions
I overindulged in the Corned Beef & Cabbage yesterday, As well as Boiled Potatoes and Gravy, Home Made Beer Bread, Some Irish Soda Bread and Home Made Pies, Sweet Potato Pie and Pecan Pie, with Homemade Whipped Cream. As a result I am up almost 5 pounds of Water Weight today and probably a slight weight gain that I will have to work on
The forecast today is for Rain, Snow or a Mix depending on where You are in the Metropolitan area. I did see a few stray snow flakes while walking.
Have a Nice Weekend

So True, Google translate can do some funny things, sadly.

I cannot agree more. Sadly I see bad grammar or the wrong spelling of a word in many news broadcasts from NYC, Both from the newsreaders or in the Bottom crawl. Add in the occasion where they contradict each other and I despair for the future.
Funny that You should mention Your breakfast, My brother fried two slices of leftover Corned Beef, chunks of Boiled Potatoes and a Egg for breakfastparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday!

Stay Dry and Have an Enjoyable Day

Hi Valerie
I hope Your vacation is enjoyable and that You do not spend to much time packing.
I think, Know? That I feel the cold more now. I find that if I eat sweets I feel warmer than if I do not and that most likely explains it. Currently excluding the Pies and breads yesterday I eat few sweets. They were so tasty too. I'm hoping that when a friend comes by this afternoon most of the Pies and a untouched loaf of Irish Soda Bread and 6 commercial made cupcakes that the Neighbor brought with yesterday goes with her.

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday!
41 out there right now, with a sunny high of 61 predicted for today.
Already cleared the sink and laundry might be on the agenda.
Leftover corned beef and sides again for breakfast. One more plate of that left in the fridge.

I think this would be lovely, but not sure I would want to actually be on it.

Hi
I went out walking today and did 8.8K steps Plus 1 Cent, The temperature was 35 degrees Vs 32. The road and sidewalk conditions were good overall. I lost 2.5 pounds of what had to be water weight since yesterday morning.
The forecast yesterday was for Rain, Snow or a Mix depending on where You are in the Metropolitan area. We had a light drizzle yesterday and they had snow in northern NJ. The weather seems to have avoided the area where I am
Have a Great Sunday

Funny that You mentioned leftover Corned Beef I sliced up some of it yesterday and plan to use 2 ounces on rye with a touch of spicy brown Mustard for my mid morning snack. I will freeze much of the rest for use later.
My Brother fried a couple of slices as part of his breakfast today too.

It is also possible to caution acrophobes in advance about the 14-foot-diameter “sky portal,” which looks as if it is suspended over the streets below, like the Ledge at Willis Tower in Chicago. The portal’s glass floor is actually looking down on two dozen high-definition screens carrying a live feed from cameras mounted at the base of the building’s spire. But the illusion is unnervingly convincing.
Have a Nice Day

Tonight for dinner I made Agneau à la Creme de Moutarde, avec Chou Vapeur.
Or, if you want to be boring about it, boneless lamb loin steaks with cream of mustard sauce(and cognac! Don’t forget the cognac in the sauce!), with lightly steamed cabbage on the side.
Wine of choice: Inti Cabernet/Carménère.

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Happy first day of Spring!
Currently 41 out there with a high of 73 predicted, 10% chance of rain.
Laundry may still be on the agenda. Eddie has already emptied the dishwasher from last night, and cleared the sink into the dishwasher. I have fed Lilo and fed myself.
My breakfast was some leftovers from Eduardo's magnificent creation last night. The lamb and cabbage tasted almost as good this morning! I have one plate of that left, which will likely be lunch. I added some blackberries and yogurt to my breakfast as additional protein and carbs/fruit as the lamb and cabbage didn't have much in the way of carbs.
I DEFINITELY need to get out to the grocery today, as J had the last of the eggs for supper last night. Of course he wasn't going to be eating any of the lamb so I made him some scrambled eggs with pepper jack, fake bacon, and tater tots. He was happy enough with that.

Hi
I was out walking today and did 7.9K steps, The temperature was 35 degrees. The road and sidewalk conditions better overall, The Brook is running a little high from snow melt. I lost another 1 .25 pounds of what had to be mostly water weight since yesterday morning due to the amount of loss. One more pound to go to get back to my Friday Morning Pre St. Patrick's day meals.
I used 2 ounces of the Corned Beef between two 1/2 slices of Rye bread with Thousand Island Dressing yesterday for my mid morning snack. Nice and tasty too.
Have a Great Monday

This really isn't a fair comparison, because the $7 buffet is breakfast/brunch and the next buffet is supper, and the $95 buffet is another brunch. Not that any of us need to eat any buffet...When I eat buffet, I tend to eat the buffet. The whole buffet...

Hi
I was out walking today and did 7.7K steps, The temperature was 43 degrees. I lost another 2 pounds of what had to be mostly water weight since yesterday morning due to the amount of loss. Now I am One pound under my Friday Morning Pre St. Patrick's day meals weight, Whee
I'll be brief, I need to work up a shopping list of groceries for my brother to take with him. So far I have a Cooked Turkey breast Half, Some Frozen Green & Yellow Beans with Carrots, Bananas and some Light & Fit Greek Yogurt and some fresh Baby Carrots.
Then Later today I'll work on digitizing some more of the 78RPM records, Yesterday I did one Album of them and some Audio cassettes.
Have a Great Tuesday

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 56 out there now, but supposed to get to 80 today with 40% chance of rain, according to the Weather Channel page, though Facebook thinks the rain chance is higher. The weather thingie on my phone says 62% chance.
I may actually DO laundry today instead of just thinking about it.
Finished off my lamb last night. The cream and mustard sauce reheats nicely in the microwave as long as you don't get it too hot. Even if you overbrown it the taste is still good. I found reheating on 50% power did the best, and not for too long!
Breakfast today was some John Morrell mini smoked sausages, some fat free yogurt (blueberry cucumber) and a hash brown potato patty along with a slice of cheese. Lilo got a bit of the cheese.
