Looks kind of funky, smokes up the house something fierce, my wife’s SCA class loved it.
The smoking thing is a definite problem, though. Enough of one that I abandoned any thought of making this a gaming dish… which is a shame, because skirt steak + potatoes + paprika + cheese + salsa + sour cream = delicious and two-thirds gone already. This may actually be something where you’d want to cook the meat on the grill, then take it inside to be cut up and tossed in the broiler…
Just got the seed-cake (this time with orange and poppy, instead of lemon and caraway) in the oven. Dinner tonight is Cilantro-Lime Chicken. My wife is also having people over tonight, so we’re gonna try that Steak and Potato Nachos thing, as well. Should be interesting.
Yes, yes, yes:
(Via Facebook) Oh sweet merciful God I have to stop myself from running out to the store RIGHT NOW to make this*. This is like what the Illuminati make when they make nachos. I could very possibly eat everything in that skillet, and then regret it for the rest of the night, only not really because STEAK AND POTATO NACHOS.
I think I know what my gaming group is eating this weekend.

*And, bear in mind: I’ve got a plate full of Orange Black Beans with Cumin that my wife made last night and is still absolutely delicious despite the fact that it’s cold. Seriously, this stuff over rice is off the hook. And I still want to chase it with the contents of that skillet.
This may get made next week. The only restriction is that my wife can’t have too much red meat… hmm. Maybe I could cook it for game, and bring it. Yeah. That’s a definite thought.

This recipe I found came out remarkably well:

Via Facebook: good God, but that looks insanely delicious. But… that’s five to seven pounds of prime rib, there; and my wife is watching her consumption of red meat. Maybe I could make this at my mom’s house?
Prime Rib With Garlic Herb Butter:
[UPDATE: It tastes fine, but next time I’m making it with poppy seeds. Caraway seeds don’t taste bad, but when they show up in American dishes it’s for savory foods, not sweet ones.]
Sorry. Phineas and Ferb are back on the kids’ rotation. Anyway, isn’t this nice-looking?
No idea how it tastes, yet – I’m not going to try a Hobbit-style seed cake from a recipe adapted by Diane Duane without my wife being present – but it baked up easily enough. If I have a concern, it’s the caraway seeds. Apparently there is a great debate on how many caraway seeds should be put into one of these, and this was one recipe where I followed the directions for making and cooking pretty much to the letter. And the letters said ‘lots of caraway seeds.’
Guess we’ll see!
