Happy birthday!!! What is your favorite dish to make for yourself?

Thank you!

As for the dishes, that would include any one of several curries, though I'm also keen on chili con carne and goulash.

Apparently I'm pretty good at those last two, having been told so about the chili by a genuine Texan who'd just put away a large bowl of it, and having eaten goulash in a genuine Hungarian restaurant which was almost exactly like my own.

Rlly curious, how long does it take you to finish a piece? (Character design studies vs one with background, like the elvis in the mirrors) 🙂

Character design studies can be started and finished in one sitting. These probably took an hour and some.

Illustrations like the Elvis Mirror illustration are usually spread out over the span of a few days rather than one sitting. Looking at pieces with fresh eyes is so important to me ! Errors will not make themselves known to me if I simply stare at the same drawing for hours and hours. I need to step away and come back to it more than once to really see what I'm looking at.

I used the sausage goulash recipe you recently posted for dinner tonight (alas no photos, as it was consumed with alacrity) and the household is in concurrence that it should be added to the regular rotation of hearty winter meals; thanks for taking the time to write it up!

Thanks for the feedback (heh) and I'm delighted that you and your household enjoyed it. :-D

@dduane suggested I make it for us tomorrow (36th anniversary) as a cosy homey sort of thing. *

I might, and if so, I'm thinking of adding some sausages we bought from our local butcher at the weekend, and which featured in the Ulster Fry photoshoot.

They're a version of Cumberland style, with black and white pepper rather than traditional sage and parsley, and should add a nice additional layer to the paprika / caraway spice of the goulash, while contrasting with the smokiness of the Continental sausages.

Hint: most Irish-British sausages are made with finely-minced meat and are a bit "squishy" in their raw state; a few minutes of frying or grilling makes them firm enough for slicing.

The problem with really good ones like these is having enough restraint that they survive to become an ingredient.

Hint 2: cook a couple of extra sausages for nibbling, so the rest are (hopefully) left alone...

* On the other hand, we might just go to a restaurant and let someone else do all the work - including the washing-up.

Originally we'd intended to get married on St Valentine's Day, but Boskone had programmed DD to teach a writer's workshop.

This has turned out for the best on many occasions - a snap decision to go restauranting (if it wasn't a word before, it is now) without a reservation on St Val's is likely to end in disappointment, while the day after...? No problems!

I tried making cabbage soup for the first time yesterday and I finally understand why this bitch was in a million books I read as a kid

Like I only had a mug of it fresh because that's what was left after storing it in no fewer than 3 containers (2 in the freezer because I'm attempting to adult in that Food Prep Life kinda way for once) and I still needed to finish off the last of the Delicious Hungarian Mushroom Soup (finish off as in eat the largest bowl of soup in my life so I could wash the container) AND I also made bean and potato soup in the slow cooker because the chicken had gone bad and the potatoes were on the cusp and I had an extra can of white beans laying around so I had a bowl of THAT yesterday for lunch and only snacked for dinner SO THIS is my first real bowl of the cabbage soup

and I get it I get it I get it, I used SO many veggies that otherwise would've been wasted AND so many spices AND there's that Good Cronch, how did I once scoff at the concept of cabbage soup this bitch is so GOOD

(I used no fewer than 3 bell peppers, one of each color, and a cucumber, and lazily threw in a cup of baby carrots, and committed to a WHOLE ASS onion in one dish instead of roughly half like I normally do, this bitch is good this bitch is good hell YEAH this bitch is good!!!)
