What the hell is THIS, you ask? It's Meatwad! Okay, it's really not out to fight crime; it's not hassled by Master Shake. It's not cute, but it is unintelligible. It's also not pink. I blame the twirly energy saving light bulbs, a cheap-ass digital camera and my inability to correct said camera settings for the weird yellow glow those twirly bulbs cast on us. We look jaundiced, so it makes sense that this meatwad should look undercooked. But it's not! It's truly a sickly pale corpse-like color. Yummy!

That green stuff is the vegetable we serve with meatwad. It's poorly chopped flat-leaf parsley. And if you're a fan of The Gipper, you know that ketchup is a vegetable, too. If it's good enough for subsidized school lunch programs, it's good enough for us!
I think the color of the plate nicely reflects and complements the hues of the dish. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We aim to please, and I think you make a great point -- the burnt orange plates do affect the color of the, er, whatever that thing is that I made.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's actually a Latvian dish called gaļa žūksnis.
ReplyDeleteHi, Al! I Googled "gaļa žūksnis" and found no pics, no web pages in English. Nothing :-( Would you mind providing a link or an explanation? I must learn more about gaļa žūksnis!
