Cooking with Hiei 2

Please note that this is not an exact recipe the contents change daily and I am ever improving on the taste.

What you will need
1 Shallot
Sea Salt Grinder
4 Seasons Pepper Grinder
Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard (Or Yellow whichever you prefer)
Honey
Balsamic Vinegar
Extra Virgin Olive oil

What you need to do
Dice and chop half of the shallot or the whole shallot depending your preference to it. Once chopped place into a small measuring cup. From this step grind the salt and pepper on top perferably one to two grinds for each. Pour in 1 to 2 teaspoons of the Gulden's mustard. Pour in about 1 to 1 and a half teaspoons of honey. Drizzle in Balsamic Vinegar, then drizzle and whisk in extra virgin olive oil. This should make about 1/3 cup of dressing (at least that is what my measuring cup told me) pour dressing over the salad and mix to coat the salad. Enjoy.

If you want to kick it up a bit chop in some garlic with the shallots. Please remember that this recipe changes practically daily. Please give this dressing a try and tell me what you think.

Thank you for reading and enjoy.  If you make this.  Tell me what you think or variations you made.

Sherlocked

Before I get into my late review of this show.  Allow me just a moment to bring you up to speed on one of my favorite fictional characters.  From the time I had stories read to me and the time I could read.  I was enthralled at a young age by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.  The worlds greatest detective.  I remember listening to the tales of the detective and than later reading some of them.  Sherlock Holmes was brilliant, cunning, witty and all round amazing.  Sherlock was the bases for many modern day detective stories.  I hope you enjoy.

Sherlock, co-created by Steven Moffat (Doctor Who) and Mark Gatiss (Also plays Mycroft Holmes in the show).  The two have taken the old tales of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and brought them into the 21st century.  Retelling them and making them fit in seamlessly into our everyday world.  The seasons are short but each episode is and hour and a half long.  This works perfectly for this show.  How?  Well lets start with Benedict Cumberbatch.  The man brings this modern day Sherlock to a whole new life.  His mannerisms, his inflections, the way he moves about the scene.  Playing off the superiority that is Sherlock Holmes to the point where you want to punch him and congratulate him at the same time. 

"I am a high functioning Sociopath, do your research." Sherlock

With an impecible memory and the ability to deduct minuet details to figure out crimes is uncanny and given who he is.  You can believe he will  nit pick and analyze the scene and possibly you.  He is the smartest man in the room and he knows it...... Unless of course his older brother Mycroft is in the room.  Than it is a battle of wits that would make even the most seasoned psychiatrist's jaw drop. 

But who can you pair with this man.  Why none other Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman The Hobbit Bilbo Baggins).  Back from the war in Afghanistan.  Watson is looking for a place to stay and not content to living at his sister's place.  Watson starts off the series slow and with a limp which is Psychosomatic as Sherlock quickly points out and than later proves.  They (Sherlock and Watson) have a very tense relationship even from the start.  They have a relationship that quickly blooms into one you would see between best friends.  The tension between them makes for great conversations and for moments when you think for just a split second that Watson is going to punch Holmes in the face.

Overall with the seasons only being 3 episodes long.  I highly recommend you going out and watching this show.  ESPECIALLY if you are fans of the books and movies.... Sorry Robert Downy Jr...... But you have been replaced as best Holmes.
