Austin Food Journal

Saturday or Sunday. Potatoes, bacon, eggs, tomato, parsley, thyme.

Springtime. At least here in Austin. This is the very beginning of Lemon Confit.

My new quick lunch. The thighs have more flavor. A little hit of Dijon mustard.

Easy dish to make and fun to eat. We eat this right out of the pan, with some crusty bread.

Not a thing wrong with it. The pan would have cost $12, but I got it for free from my mother. Best pan I have. Steak. Eggs. Potatoes. Cobbler. You name it. It cooks it.

My grandparents house in Napa has the most wonderful walnut orchard in the back of the property. We have a pecan tree, but there is something special in having a dozen, purposefully grafted, fully mature trees at the ready. Your own army.
