  2. Quail on the menu tonight.

    Quail%20May%205th%2C%202016-XL.jpg

    Marinated earlier in the day with garlic, lemon zest, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil.  About an hour or so before grilling added the juice of a whole lemon.

    One of my favourite fish, halibut. Made a batch of Vietnamese fish sauce to go with the fish today and tomorrow (brill).

    My favourite fish too. Love the way you prepared it.

      I've never seen a halibut that small. 

     

  6. Inspired by Jvalentino to make chicken souvlaki.  Usually I do not add onion or green pepper to the skewers, but I had a craving for charred onions and peppers.

  7. Blue Dolphin, what a great idea. Moe would love sausage rolled in pancakes.  I'll try and remember to do that next time.

  9. Anna,  Your potato cauliflower looks delicious.    Julie Sahni is my go too for Indian recipes. Love that recipe.

     

    Shelby, I'll skip the gizzards, but would love some of your chicken livers.

     

    Scubadoo, I haven't had Jerk chicken in a while.  That looks sooooo goood!!!

  10. Picked up a fresh organic turkey after Easter. Just a little 12 pounder.  

     

    Turkey%20April%201st%2C%202016-XL.jpg 

    Presalted it and  then roasted it Friday morning before leaving for work. I wanted 

    hot turkey sandwiches for dinner.

     

    Turkey%20drippings%20April%201st%2C%2020

    Pan went back into the oven to brown the drippings.

     

    Turkey%20Gravy%20April%201st%2C%202016-X

    Made a big pot of rich turkey gravy.

     

    Turkey%20Hot%20Sandwich%20with%20Gravy%2

    This was one of the best tasting turkeys.  The only thing I would have done different is to make fries instead of mashed potatoes.   We traditionally have fries with this

    meal, but after I got home from work , I decided that mashed potatoes would be easier.   And they were, BUT, should have went with fries.   Just not the same

    with mashed potatoes.

    Ann, that looks like a very lovely fresh version of Caldo Tlapeno. Do you have a recipe? Thanks!

    (btw, I have long suspected Moe is an invention, but if not, no one else on earth gets so many amazing breakfasts. I would NEVER show my husband a breakfast post of yours.) 

    Katie, sorry, I just saw your comments.  

    Moe is real.  And he loves breakfast.

     


    Mexican Chicken Rice Soup (Caldo Tlapeno)

    I love the Tequila House's chicken rice soup and after having it
    the first time, I came home and made my own version. 

    Cook a couple of chicken breasts in homemade chicken broth.  (Or use your favourite brand). 

    To serve, spoon some cooked rice into the bowl, add the cut up chicken breast and broth and garnish with fresh chopped tomato, onion, a piece of chipotle pepper, avocado, cubes of Monterrey Jack cheese,
    cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. 

    NOTE: Do not substitute another pepper. It is the Chipotle pepper that makes this soup special. I just  rinse the adobo sauce off a canned chipotle and use that. But you could probably use a dried chipotle pepper.

  12. I'm with Liuzhou. .   I'm very picky about fish so it there was even the hint of a fishy smell, it would be tossed.

    We live on the west coast and I buy fresh fish right down at the Bay. Never once have I found fresh to be fishy. 

     

    And when we lived in Toronto, there were a number of fish shops and again, fresh fish never smelled fishy.
