Sitting down to a sub par dinner at 11:30 p.m.: INFURIATING

Yeah, I know. You were expecting me to somehow pull a "priceless" out at the end of that or tell you that somehow I magically managed to cook an amazing meal that was worth the hassle and expense of what I went through last night, but that would be lying... What can I say? Some nights you come to the end of your evening wishing you would have ordered take-out sushi or Dominoes delivery. Such is life.

Last night's dinner wasn't terrible, but it probably would have tasted a hell of a lot better had I eaten it three hours earlier and didn't have to pay an exorbitant charge for some dude to pick my lock after locking myself out of my apartment whilst going out to check on the coals for my grill.

Inspiration for this dish came from this month's Bon Appetit magazine. More to come...
