Chili con carne in dark beer

After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relatives. -Oscar Wilde



Ok, so I've admitted a number of times I am a vegetarian! Which doesn't stop me from cooking meat for other people. To me it's been quite an interesting journey - cooking something that I don't taste along the way. It may be a bit too early to admit, but I do think I'm getting good at determining how the dish is turning out from the scents, texture, the way it looks. And I still remember how it's supposed to look, taste and smell.

Garlic sauce/ marinade/ relish. In other words - Česnakinė!

"Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian. Wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian. Lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese. Garlic makes it GOOD!" Alice May Brock 

And another one - "There is no such thing as a little garlic" .

Rabbit stewed in cream with fennel, carrots, onion...

Do vegetarians eat animal crackers?


This time it is about meat although I am a vegetarian and I DO eat animal crackers. Well... When I have to.

My Dad has some secret spots somewhere in the country where he gets his hands on amazing home grown fresh rabbit meat. Although I am a 'pescatarian' (thank God for my colleague who found out there is actually a name for those not eating meat but eating fish), I am happy to cook meat for others.
