First course: Antipasto plate, black olives imported from Italy, macadamia nuts, home made pickled vegetables, home made smoked country venison sausage and smoked tasso ham, Anderson Valley Firey IPA mustard, assorted fresh fruits, fresh french baguette, a selection of goat, buffalo, and cows milk cheeses with crackers, served with a side of Medicated Honey Truffle and Medicated Mendocino Mustard.
Second course: Mason Jar Smoked Salad made with Purple Haze Goat Cheese from Humboldt County, baby carrots, California Mejool dates, shaved almonds, bacon, spinach, and finished with homegrown olive oil from my folks olive grove and local fig balsamic vinegar.
Third course: Hash pizza trio. "Gorilla Special" - pesto, fresh mozzarella, diced pineapple, fresh garlic, and crushed red pepper. "Magic Forest" - pesto, spinach, roasted red bell pepper, brie cheese, portobello mushroom, artichoke heart, sunflower seeds, pine nuts, and garnished with aged Gouda. "Arcata Favorite" - apricot preserve, Genoa salami, triple cream brie, garnished with fresh parsley.
Fourth course: "The Black Beast" Medicated Flourless Chocolate Cake topped with milk chocolate gnache, mango sauce and whipped cream.

Thai Beef Salad
Thai Beef Salad
Carrot, cuke, grape tomato, red onion, chives, garlic, thai pepper, mint, basil and what was left of the tri tip marinated in seasoned rice wine vinegar, a little oil and nuoc mam (fish sauce).
Dropped that on some bibb and butter lettuce - delicious
Bout an hour later I was hungry - went to the local taco stand for some Barbacoa

Get some...
Yeah, it´s aspargus time! Bioaspargus from greece, potatoes, ham and a sauce hollandaise. 
And from today, a solid "Kartoffelsuppe" (Potatosoup) with ham, smoked sausage, chanterelle, carrots, garlic, croutons (roasted bread). The smoked sausage we gonna dip in mustard.
that looks inviting....move over H-Tothe-G, gonna take me a taste.
Yes please! I´m still hungry again but I have to wait 90 minutes until dinner. We get some chinese or turkish fastfood I think.
Fried corn bread?
Fried corn bread?
That would be good with some beans and that bacon. YUM!!

Herman your food doesn't look fancy, but it all looks very delicious.
Mudbugs!!!
Mudbugs!!!
I'm lazy and don't have a consistent source for fresh live crawfish so I usually get these at restaurants when they are in season, hadn't cooked my own in years. Got the boil going and just about to add the bugs when I suddenly remembered that they needed to be purged.
First wash was almost black - you'll forgive me if I don't include the pics
Now on to the part we all want to see

Hello Hank, lol, yeah maybe a good idea to grow our own aspargus!
Hello Herb Talek, yes exactly what it is! For fancy food I go out eating.
I love the food porn thread, yeasterday evening, stoned on the sofa, I watched the thread on the new I-Pad of my wife.
Sad that Sea-Maiden and Toughmudder Dave aren´t on board no more.
