The weekend is almost to an end and I’ve been pretty mellow. Cards Friday, a few drinks last night, and nothing today. I got some work done, but mainly I watched golf and cooked. I was quite impressed with myself yesterday as I prepared what we deemed Lakeside Breaded Orange Roughy. It was a tasty dish based in a Dijon sauce, spruced up with some butter, soy, and Worcestershire sauces as well as garlic, Old Bay, Montreal Chicken, and Cavender’s. Mixing all of those ingredients together gave me a paste that I put on top of the salt and peppered fish. From there, breadcrumbs were placed on top of the pasted fish to give the fish some crunch. 450 degrees for 10 minutes and voila, a high protein treat.
Today was a bunch of TV and an afternoon round of Drewghetti sauce. Always starting with an onion and garlic, adding cooked carrots and meat, slow cook and let cool down. As an Italian friend explained to me, always let your sauce cook and the cool. The congealing makes the flavor that much better. Heating it back up, food was served after golf. Enough of recipes and cooking.
Another PGA golf season has begun. Those of who follow golf may say the season started a few weeks ago, but we all know the season doesn’t start until Tiger Woods steps foot at a tournament. And he didn’t disappoint this week at the Buick, winning his 7th sanctioned event in a row. It’s not exactly 7 in a row, but it’s still pretty awesome.
T Woods is amazing. He keeps on getting better and better. Last year his driver was off. Not this week. There has been a lot of talk about comparing his dominance with Roger Federer’s. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it until they golf announcers started doing a comparison. They said in tennis it is one on one. And that there is always one person who dominates. This is true, Bjorg, Connors, Sampras, etc… In golf, you always play against the entire field and it is an extreme rarity for someone to dominate like T Woods has. As awesome and totally crushing Federer is to his competition, I have to go with Woods.
