Today Marion and I had the super lazy day we had planned the first weekend of my vacation and which was ruined by me becoming ill.
So yesterday evening we dropped the mattresses from our bed in the living room in front of the TV-set. And there they are still. If I not needed to do some shopping I would not have get dressed all day. Having such a “lazy day” every now and then is good thing. Relaxing, resting, chatting, napping, cuddling… it is all part of such a day.
Marion is now taking a nap, so I have a moment to write something here on my blog (and to answer some mails).
Of course I made something nice to eat for us (one of the reasons I had do some shoppings). I decided for Wild Boar Steak…
The Wild Boar Steak was baked as a normal steak. But normally I would wrapped a steak after baking in aluminium foil so it will become nicely done. But on advice I placed the steaks in a beef fond, added some honey and thyme. All on temperature I left the steaks in the fond for about 10 minutes. It gave the steaks a very nice stronger taste.
To the steaks I served some slightly fried oyster mushrooms.
The vegetables are a mixtures of boiled garden peas, corn and carrots.
The rice is Basmati rice mixed with baked champignons and a little soy sauce. A very nice and tasteful combination.
As wine I served was a Los Vascoos 2007. A very nice wine from Chile with a nice strong taste that fitted perfectly to the steaks (a very good advice from the owner of the store where I buy most of my wines and such).
Even when I say so myself, it was delicious again!
Me? I will grab a bottle of beer and jump on the mattresses in the living room again and watch some TV until Marion wakes up again.
