I've made pearled barley risotto a couple of times, might even have recipe on here. It is very good. Craig prefers it to regular risotto.
What did you cook or eat today (October 2023)?

I was actually looking for it. SatNavSaysStraightOn could make it vegan by substituting vegetable stock for chicken and whatever she uses in place of butter if she wants to make it. I would cure some egg yolks and use them in place of the cheese.
Recipe - Roasted quail with braised grape and pearl onion sauce over barley risotto
Recipe - Cured egg yolks

Thank you
Lunch menu at one of the sit-down restaurants (well, it’s the same menu in all the sit-down restaurants, of which there are three):
We’re having afternoon tea in our room at 3PM, so no lunch for us, though.

Afternoon tea in the room:
MrsT is in a food-and-booze-induced coma right now. She was sitting there snoring lightly, then suddenly jerked awake and said, “I could puke!” and then went right back to sleep!

Ok, here’s the story:
We both woke up stuffed full from last night, but went to breakfast anyway, and stuffed ourselves more (I did, anyway; MrsT ate very little).
Then we had afternoon tea and looked over the evening menu, which we really didn’t care for, so I said, “Let’s cancel our dinner reservation and just go to one of the casual restaurants you want to try <Irish pub or upscale pizza place>.”
“Yeah, sounds good, let’s go to the pizza place!”
After the tea, MrsT said she was so full she felt sick. I just felt sort of full, so we pushed our plans back from 6PM to 7PM.
At 7PM, she still wasn’t hungry: “I think I just want to go to the buffet and grab some fruit and a bottle of water.”
“Ok, that’s right next to the slice shop, so I can still get a piece of pizza, at least, and a beer.”
I told her where I’d be sitting, and we went our separate ways:
I added some fries for a more balanced meal.
What did Mrs “I’m so full I’m gonna puke” T come back with? A plate of mashed potatoes and gravy, potato salad, and sausage rolls…and then she ordered a beer!

Two weeks ago, I asked my son to pick up some sirloin at the supermarket. He brought home the thinnest cuts of steak I have ever seen in my life. I should have made steak sandwiches, but I tried serving them like regular steaks. They were overcooked and tough.
So, my wife went and picked up these gargantuan, porterhouse steaks. They were half-price, and only cost about eight dollars a pound. Incredible.
First, I cooked in a pan with butter to sear on both sides…
Then, onto a sheet pan for 10 minutes in the oven. I didn’t have to enough cast iron pans to cook all of them, but it turned out great.
I also sautéed mushrooms and boiled potatoes that I made into buttery mashed potatoes.
