January 19, 2020 Brunch – Bacon and Eggs and Black Beans. Dinner –  Bratwurst Steamed and Sautéed in Ginger Beer with Sauerkraut and Baby Broccoli served on Mashed Potatoes Potatoes and Bananas Foster

Willy came over at 10:00 to watch the Liverpool v. Man U. PL Match and eat breakfast.  He does not have a kitchen where he is taying so we let him cook breakfast.

He fried bacon and then heated up a 32 oz. Container of black beans and finally fried eggs in the bacon skillet to which the eggs stuck even with the removal of the bacon grease and addition of butter.

 

Suzette made her weekly Bloody Mary and I drank V8 juice with a squeeze of lime juice.

After Liverpool won Willy and Suzette went to the building and then I dozed and then met her at the Albuquerque Art Museum and we visited the psychedelic poster exhibit.  There were over 100 posters. Here are a few early ones with Texas bands and a couple of historic events, the acid test and the Gathering of Nations.

 

 

I watched 15 hours of TV today starting with Leicester City lose to Burnley and the news programs. Then the Liverpool match with Willy. Then the AFC championship game between KC Chiefs and Tenn. Titans. And then the NFC championship between San Francisco and Green Bay.

Then 60 Minutes and three Masterpiece theater episodes.

In the afternoon I ate two pieces of banana nut bread smeared with orange marmalade and a cup of tea.

At 6:00 we started dinner.  I peeled and cubed about eight potatoes.

Suzette took over and cooked one her wonderful German meals. She Braised the four bratwursts I thawed yesterday in ginger beer.  When the brats browned she added chopped baby broccoli and organic sauerkraut she had bought at Costco.  She also made mashed potatoes.

We had a wonderful dinner and shared a bottle of XX Beer.

Later she made Bananas Foster.  She sliced and sautéed two bananas in butter, brown sugar.  Then she added a splash of rum to the sauté skillet and ignited the rum to flambé the bananas. She served the bananas over scoops of vanilla ice cream. I drank a cup ifEarl Grey tea with mine.

                                                   The flambéing bananas

What a nice way to eat a daily piece of fruit.

Bon Appetit
