New Year’s Eve meal.

[bachophile]

Ossobuco with polenta.
wine was a chateau neuf de pape.
Barenboim playing Beethoven sonatas on the sound system. Nice atmosphere for last meal of 2021.

Saving the bubbles for tomorrow lunch.
Because I sincerely doubt I’ll stay up until midnight.

One of my favorite dinners and one I have cooked many times. My daughter requested in this last week but I couldn't find any decent veal shanks.

Besides the meat on the bone we usually throw in a few extra marrow bones.
The marrow spoon is for scooping it out

Ahh the joy of hematopoiesis.

[Mik]

I have some cut beef marrow bones in the freezer and some foie gras. Next week I plan to make a dinner for friends with Beef Wellington and marrow bones as the appetizer.

Yum.

[Jolly]

Need some collards to go with them grits.

[Mik]

Whasamatta cher? You don' like po'lenta?

[Jolly]

Well, you hoity-toity fellers need to stop by some ol' black lady's home one day when she's cooking pork backbone, collards and cornbread.

It'll run that ossified bookus a good race...

We're doing pizza tonight, because pizza.
