Yesterday we had for dinner silver snappers, not bad at all. Very mild flesh, good texture. Steamed rice and some stir-fried vegetables

thank you
@rotuts Recipe is very easy. It’s just that I used a 6 inches pan x 2 inches, lined with a round of parchment and oiled. I cooked a big zucchini with some oli, salt and tiny bit of water, no much water left. Left to cool. I’ve beaten 6 eggs, a couple tabletsspoons grated parmigiano, 1 tablespoon of whole wheat flour, salt, half teaspoon baking powder, chopped mint and incorporated the cooked zucchini and poured in the pan. I put the pan on a small tray because I was afraid it would spill, didn’t happen. I cooked in a regular oven at 375 for half and hour, mine is just a regular old oven. Left 10 minute in the oven turned off before unmolding. It deflated a bit but not terribly. Simple and tasty.

Thanks guys, I will look for the hardware cloth. @dcarchyou would drill holes at the base of the blocs even if there is plenty of perlite at .the bottom? 🙏

Are you in Florida? ( iguana ? Not in Brooklyn.)
First, beautiful work!!!
Second, my suggestion:
Those are very tall raised beds. How much rain do you get in your area? It depends on the percolation quality of the earth the raised beds are on. If the percolation is not much, the raised beds can become bathtubs and your plants can get root rot.
I would drill small weep holes in between the blocks on the bottom run of the blocks and put a bucket of gravel around the holes before you pile soil on top. You put small drain hole even for small flower puts to avoid root rot.
Lets see some green stuff in those beds. 🙂

Yes, I am on an island in front of Miami, iguanas are all over here. The raised beds are very tall. We got the soil from a very nice coop and the head gardener gave us some advice, there is perlite until half of the beds and very good organic soil on top. @rotutsthe neighbor just complained about the iguanas eating it all! Roasted iguanas not sure are going to enter the menu soon 🤣-

I think your Iggy Battle will be constant. Rocket is a weed - do not treat it too well. Does your local garden center have ideas on netting to repel the green goobers?
Rocket was not a problem is Brooklyn but here, I don’t know. It’s not working. I asked the neighbors about iguanas, I think they all got discouraged 😕

Hi guys,
I have been very quite lately but I am here. I want to show you how they came out our raised beds.
For this season we planted beans, cucumbers, bai tsai (bok choy), Asian eggplants, peppers, some salads. Rocket, I cannot bring myself saying arugula (as it makes me feel and illiterate Italian) is not doing well.
But all the cucumbers are gone! Thanks to the iguanas 😟 I need to find some protection. I was thinking in tomatoes cages and some netting on top. This garden is going to end up very expensive 😫but we knew about it. Suggestions are welcome

My husband bought two big bags of string beans from Costco and not happy, thinking we love them, bought some more today. Expect some string beans dishes in the next few days 🤣 Fish is almaco, which I hope not to see in a while 😙

I know it looks really like a menu à la carte today. Mother in law is having a problem eating and I had some odd stuff to finish from the fridge. Pocha beans with some pancetta, a tablespoon of the Bulgarian pepper sauce from TJ’s, leftover steamed rice. Girl wanted noodles, thanks to Cotsco stock. I made polpettone ligure for lunch and happily shared for dinner some with MIL. One NY strip shared, some cauliflower a la almost Ottolenghi and since my son was eating after us and at lunch when making the polpettone I had some extra steam potatoes I managed a portion of gnocchi for him. He was happy with it.

Quite a cross to bear, @Franci. Those frozen Argentinian shrimp appear to be the same stuff the Trader Joe's carries. Not a terrible product, but certainly not as delicious as wild shrimp from the gulf or the keys when those might be sourced.
That’s what we get from a local frozen chain store, shrimp from the Keys, prefer those for sure!

Trying to make everybody happy. Pizza in teglia, fried shrimp and sauté, salad. Husband wanted to try the frozen Argentinian shrimp from Cotsco but me and the boy are not fans

@Franci Beautiful food.
So how long will that ham last?
we got a cheap Serrano in December, that we had a tough time finishing. This opened less than a week, is going super fast in comparison. I doubt it would last more than 3 weeks. Next year my husband said that he is going to buy 2. The Costco price on the Covap is very good.
Tonight we had 2 small mangrove snappers, steamed, Chinese style. Rice and kimchi (also from Cotsco).

We got swordfish from the boat, it was really good, some salad, roasted potatoes and shishito.
Yesterday we got rose fish again and I made a little experiment of Israeli cous cous with cauliflower, half dress with zhong sauce from flybyjing and the other with zhoug sauce from TJ’s, different but both good.

Husband came home with a 5 lbs snapper, he underestimated the time needed for cooking, once we finished all the side dishes, the fish was finally ready 😂. It was delicious but we have leftovers for lunch 😁

Yesterday we had tofu, it’s very similar to the eggplant in fish fragrant sauce many are familiar with, I am sure, but with tofu and any vegetable available.
Today we had a almaco jack, which I simply cooked in the blue steel. Some roasted potatoes, roasted tasteless acorn squash 🙄, some broccoli and steam rice no photo.

Lunch 2021
in Cooking
Posted
Very little effort lunch. Pizza dough was in the fridge for 3-4 days, not sure. Took out mid morning to divide in two and give it a couple of folds. Let it sit one hour before stretching in the pan and let it rise.
