    Roasted radishes with brown butter and garlic.  First time I've cooked radishes, nice change.
    Looks tasty. And, something different. 

    What did you serve it with? Do you eat it as a side?

    @caliking definitely a side.  They turn out potato-ish, but lighter.  Slight sweetness that you get with roasted veg, a little peppery but no heat.  I tossed them in a hot, lightly oiled skillet to get a little char going, then into a toaster oven @425 convection for a little while (maybe 15-20 min total), add the red onion wedges, check for tenderness and then toss in brown butter and herbs.  Simple.  I think I I could eat a boot if tossed in brown butter.

    A recipe that my mother made a few times growing up was mizithra and brown butter. So simple, but so incredibly good. Not the recipe she used, but I found this online….

    I have never seen it, so don’t know. Was something she made in my childhood. Haven’t had it at the Spaghetti Factory either. May have to ask her for hers the next time I am at my folks’ place.

    TIL that mizithra is a cheese, not a Pokemon character. Never heard of it before, but should be able to find it here. Thanks!

    If you make it, a healthy dose of freshly ground black pepper is advised!

    Last night. Marrow bones have gone from being free, to $0.99/lb. Left a few un-gremolataed for the kid. Turns out that he likes gremolata. 


    Marrow bones used to be free? Looks awesome! Will have to try this.

    That's about 25 bucks of marrow bones up here. I give my dog them on the boat and I think he would bite me if I didn't.

    Recipie for brown butter?  Usually just heat butter till it seperates, then add in some garlic and maybe some herbs and heat till solids brown up.  Am I not understanding what brown butter is?

    What I meant is that proportions and ingredients in versions of mizithra and brown butter can vary slightly from one recipe to the next. I do not know how the recipe used in my household compares against the one that I shared. Thanks for laying out the brown butter though. Made me smile a bit because it was somewhat reminiscent of childhood insults I remember hearing on the bus and in the schoolyard. “Your mom’s so stupid that when she went to make ice cubes, she forgot the recipe.”

    I can relate. These 7” bones were $10 each. My #150 newfound is supposed to keep them outside but has a habit of sneaking them inside after dark. I’ve given up…

    My yard is littered with them right now. Have to keep the walkways clear for the snowblower. The neighbors dogs come down in the morning for theirs as well
