300.5 today... Pound down.This is another example of what I call 'diet food'. If you were expecting some dried grass and a few twigs, get over it.
Tonight I felt like steak. I wanted steak. I earned steak.
Steak needs things... other things... to see it off to gustatory heaven. Things like.... caramelized sweet onions and sauted mushrooms. All done in Garlic olive oil of course. (Losing weight here... right?)
So... I figured there should be something starchy as well, but still healthy. Hmmmmmm......
How about Jersey white sweet potatoes, roasted, with a bit of butter and fresh ground black pepper?
Then, something green. Whatever, doesn't matter this trip. It's just plate color anyway. After all... green stuff is what food eats.
Steamed broccoli with a dab of butter and kosher salt.
The steak is pan seared, after tenderizing with a plate edge and soaking in Worcestershire sauce.
The garlic olive oil the onions were cooked with?
Simple...... The next time you pop open a jar of garlic cloves, pour it full of olive oil before refrigerating. The good oil. It will preserve the garlic, and gel into a fabulous thick garlic oil. The garlic can be fished out and used any time, but the oil....
Oh. My. God..... the oil.....
Just dip bread into it.... just dip your lover in it..... it's the same.

garlic cloves come in jars? ;)
why is it the word I want to post most often on your blog is "yum!?"
Because I love to eat good food.
Probably why I need to lose 40 pounds....sigh.
:-(
Breda.... yes, to us lazy people, it does.
Another surprise... prepare yourself... it even comes
pre-chopped! Sick, I know.
Decent whole fresh garlic is rare around here. My soil grows harsh garlic, and the 'stuff' in paper skin they sell in the grocery store is nasty here. I can get tastier garlic in jars, grown in California.
So... jars for me, for now. The olive oil trick is a good one, in any case. The oil is as useful as the garlic, and is really good as is for dipping warm crusty bread into.
