Hookers and beer

The neighbor's pet ducks and geese are nowhere to be seen. Coincidence? Did they fly the coop? Are the owners hiding the poultry from me? Or have the neighbors smelled the delicious scents wafting over from my house and pressed said ducks and geese into culinary service?

Tonight's menu is inspired by misogyny, prostitution, and venereal disease.



Hoe Cakes. Light, airy, and crunchy. A bit corny. Just like real ho's.

Seedy Strip Steak. Marbled pieces of beef marinated in soy, mustard, and assorted secret ingredients. Encrusted with sesame seeds and seared until the outer layer is toasted and fragrant. Rare in the center. Just the way I like it. The marinade ingredients are secret because I threw a bunch of herbs and liquids into a bowl and I don't remember what I actually used.

Herbed Peas. (Herpes) I couldn't resist the pun.



Black and Blue Bruised Tart. Well, it started out black and blue. After a few minutes in the oven, the blueberries and blackberries turned into the same shade of purple. Drat!
